Sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't. I try to keep them upright. They do keep drinks really cold! Things will still be nice and cold the next day.

currently my answer is NO. if the cap is better closed . l place it in my baby bag while family outing. you know that the bottle would not stand still. but there is no water in the bag.

I just held it upside down and it did leak. But the lid has bite marks in it from my kids... I bet it didn't do that until the bite marks.

No leaks. I've dropped it numerous times, laid it down on my car seat, put it in my briefcase upside down.....all without leaks. I may be lucky, but.....it's a good bottle.

My experience is no leaking from this bottle as long as the cap is on tight and the flip lid is closed. Great product!

I have not had any problems with the bottles leaking when left on it's side. Hope this helps!

Hi April, yes, it will leak if you tipped over with the straw in because there is a secure dispositive that is open when you put the straw, only without the straw, the shaker is closed.

YES The bottle is just sitting in the groove of where the zipper is. My 7th grader uses this as her lunch bag and it has held up well. They do not have locker so she has to carry it all day in her backpack. No leaking or sweating from the tote at all.

Leaking has never personally happened with my set. Not ever, and I take a lot of differing things in my lunch. Maybe the other folks are overfilling their containers--maybe don't fill it up to the top? But no, in my experience they don't leak.

I've had no leakage problems. There is a plastic liner on the inside, so as long as the cooler isn't turned upside down...it should never leak.

It has a solid plastic insert that I cannot imagine leaking unless the cooler was to tip over on to its side. The insert goes all the way to the zipper along the top, but if it tips over then the water from the melted ice might leak through the zipper area and possibly through the top of the cooler.

The lid slides onto the tray without a tight seal. Unfortunately, it will leak if placed on the side.

No. It leaks. I had LOTS of trouble getting the lid to screw on level. This resulted in a dribble from the top when I tipped it on it's side to check if it would leak. I was NOT happy. I wanted to carry this in my backpack for hiking. Can not do with a leaky thermos. It is SO pretty I really wanted to keep it. But for this price, a leaky thermos has to go back! Darn.

Sorry it will leak if you try to travel with it. I tried a water test with it and the top container with it only filled half way and it leaked in a walking carry test and if tipped will leak badly. The lower containers are just as bad, I would suggest a real thermos is best for soup. This container is great for snacks and other solid foods. Sorry

I have not had one leak yet. I lay these bottles on their sides in my daughters lunchbox.

Yes. I fill it 1/2 full of water and put in freezer and when it is frozen I take out and add water to keep it cold. I love the bottle! It never leaks so it is the only one I use in my boys sports bag. I wish Nalgene would make an 8oz size for lunchboxes.

I don't know about in a lunch box. I have four of these total (three year old twins), they get used all the time and the only time I have ever seen them leak was when my son shoved the mouth piece down into the thermos. They have been closed and thrown on the car floor and nothing leaked out.

I had bought this as a cooler for putting in cold items and yes, to put ice in as well. It has leaked since day 1 and I need to exchange it. But I wasn't sure if there would be an issue because the manufacturer may be treating it as a lunch type box. So, I've had leaks even well below the zipper line.
