Have you experienced these issues that reviewers complained about; straw leaks, it's hard to get water out after a few sips?

I haven't had a problem with a leaky straw. Whatever is left in the straw from the previous sip will come out, but that's been it for us. It is not that hard to get water out as long as you don't have it filled up all the way

I haven't had any issues except it took my daughter awhile to understand this sippy cup instead of a bottle but that's to be expectedm now its the only sippy she will use.

I have not had issues with straw leaks unless it's held upside down for an extended period of time. I have a hard time getting water out after a few sips, but my daughter will guzzle half the glass of water before coming up for air! I think it's because it's built for infant/toddler mouths, not adult mouths!

no... there's a small hole for air to get in while you drink from a (pretty generous) slit near the edge. The flow of liquid is pretty good so that shouldn't be a problem. You may be able to fit a straw in it, but not a big one.The thing I hated was - the lids didn't seal properly so it was always like drinking from a dribble glass. The ALL did it too, so it wasn't just one bad lid. I ended up returning them...

I have not had an issue with leaking yet. Have been using one for about a two weeks so sorry will know more in a month or so.

Yes, the straw is not water tight (for obvious reasons), so it will leak both around the straw and through the straw itself.

Two thoughts... First, try sucking more. Each time you fill the bottle, especially the very first time on each filter, it takes me 4-6 sucks to get the water up through the filter. Another possibility is that the straw part is not open the whole way. For some reason, it has a point the it stops that looks open but is not all the way, then you pull further to open completely. It is like the way some cars have two levels to push down to open a car window a little or the whole way down.

I've been drinking then for over a year and never had any problems. Maybe you got a defective one.

It does not have the same issue. But it will leak out of the straw if it is turned over and full. Overall i like it better than the playtex!

No and they are not ideal for drinking because once it gets wet you can't drink through the straw. For show only... In my opinion.

I don't know about the straws. The lid for the 70 oz mug has a flip top that allows you to drink out of it without spilling. The only thing I have found that could use a slight improvement is that the lid can be a little hard to tighten properly. If you don't get it tight enough some liquid can leak around the threading, and the sip hole will not line up properly with the handle.

I don't know, but we've had the same problem with both the Mist 'N Sip bottles we bought - I wouldn't buy them again based on that flaw.

Is it leaking the 'air' at the point where the aluminum bottom threads into the black top? If so, I would (which you may have already tried) try to make sure that the inner "straw/stem" piece is seated/centered properly and the top is as snug (without breaking it, obviously) as you can get it. I've had the situation - where mine also leaked as it was pressurized and I had to take the top back off and re-seat the stem piece. Now that I'm more careful to make sure it's seated right, I haven't had any more trouble (and I use it all the time). Also, make sure there is no debris that may be keeping the seal from seating properly. Hope this helps. Good luck.

My husband and I both purchased these last year, and have had no problems - as long as you remember to blow the water back into the bladder after you drink. Water that sits in the hose does tend to get a gross, plastic taste but the water from the main reservoir is fine (just don't leave it sitting in there for days if you can avoid it).

We haven't had any problems with leaking if the lid is on right. And if you are sure that the rubber little sip lid is closed all the way down. But, we don't usually put it in a bag because some of the reviews said theirs leaked all over. It has been upside down quite a few times though and never leaked. but for some reason this particular bottle, and only this particular pink one (we have a few), has an issue with the lid going on straight. I have to check it every time we use it to make sure it's on right and it often times takes 2 times of screwing it on before its on right. But that's not a big ideal. Overall a good bottle.

About 10% of mine leak around the metal prong. But it was a really slow drip, so it wasn't enough water loss for me to worry about. Besides, it helped the girls quickly figure out this new drinking system. I put a large pot lid under it to catch the drips. In the summer time they like to stand in that water to cool off. I love this drip system, but learned this winter that I have to disconnect and drain when it gets cold. It froze ans shot the little nipples out across their run!

I wouldn't call it spill proof because there is a hole where the straw goes that would leak if it were on its side. That hole can be slid shut, but still not water tight. I'd call it spill resistant.

I have not had an issue with spills or leaking unless my daughter pinches the straw and turns the cup upside down, which she's only done once! Otherwise it's been really effective!

I was reading the reviews on the Libman, and there were several very unhappy complaints about it leaking. A definite turnoff for me.
