Product information says it flips back to allow for eating/drinking. Has anyone figured out how to do this?

If you purchased the correct size collar, it should not be necessary to flip it back for eating & drinking. The collar should not extend past the nose but should be slightly shorter so the dog can eat & drink when necessary without having to fold it back. Having to take it off and put it back on 5 or 6 times a day -- every time he wants a drink or to feed twice a day is areal hassle and some dogs will not stand patiently to let you put it back on. Better to try to get the correct length or cut off the one you have to a good length for your dog. You might have to sew the new edge if it looks like it will unravel after being cut -- or use some duct tape folded over the cut edge?

Yes. You can fold over the edge of it, like a cuff. Since the whole thing is flexible, you can fold over a couple of inches or even halfway down the side of it. It might be a little tricky to get started, but just keep going. Fold a little bit away from the dog's face and keep going around.

Nope. I just take it off of him when I feed him and when he goes to his water dish. He stands very patiently to have it put back on.

Hold it on either end and twist it back on itself. It's tricky, but keep trying and it will go.

Turn the mug around and put the top on. I've just tried it, it works both ways. good luck

Your center support bar is upside down, unscrew it and flip it over. The handle bars are suppose to extend outward.

Flip the bottom over and try to snap in. (could be upside down) I tried the first way too, looks like it should be the inside but it isn't. After turning it, it snaped in easy. (little pressure) then slide one side at a time and snap in place. The only complicated part to me was the lid, make sure to get the hindges in.

The lid on the Mr. Coffee DWX23 flips open toward the back, it doesn't swing to either side

Ok, I'm really bewildered here. Y'all are saying the newer models have a flap to prevent this. But mine is only about a month old, and it doesn't have this flap. It would be great if it did - one of my cats can get food all day/night, and it's not helping with the portion control idea. She's just eating all the time. I'm trying to think of a makeshift way of adding my own, but why is it that some of you have one actually included on yours?

I pull myself up to a horizontal position using the large handles and then sit up from there. I do not invert to a vertical position. When inverted my head is at about eight o'clock. This works well for me and it is easy to return to the sitting position by using the handles.

Just press the "button" before tipping the drink back. Then release it before pulling away from your mouth.

OMG I have this exact same problem. I thought it was something I did "wrong".Yes I keep tripping over it and it has become a hazard, such as when carrying hot liquids for example.And annoying to boot.

look just below the handle on the main upright before you get to the red release latch. there is a decal where it instructs you to "twist to adjust suction...." it's the only thing you can twist. THANKS for asking - i hadn't noticed it before & i need it, too!!

hold the silver rim (near the top) and turn to the right (clockwise) and lift off. it's kind of counter-intuitive since the tendency is to turn it in the other direction. I had trouble too.

There is a lever on the back of the tumbler that you flip, set your desired combination and then switch back. Very easy to do, and it comes with instructions.

No..this is not a flip top product. Unscrew the lid and then you can drink. A little tricky if you are driving.

It unscrews. It took me a while to figure it out because the others lift off. If it gets stuck, gently use the part on top that closes the drinking opening like a handle and turn it to the left - remember this little saying - lefty loosey - righty tighty. It never fails me. Enjoy it.

The unit I accepted did not have the plastic flip with drinking hole. Just the flat lid. Good question. I do think there may be a way to order that flip top individually.

It is not a flip top & it will leak if it is not upright. The hole straw or just drinking is open.
