Having read recently about the dangers of ALL plastics, is the lid on this mug PLASTIC or SILICONE?

The lid is BPA-free plastic. It says so on the Contigo website and in the Amazon description.

It's a bendable plastic, it's not silicone. Worth every penny. I love it. Easy to store and clean.

Mine was plastic. The glass outer shell and the glass part of the lid both cracked within the first few weeks I had it. Although I liked the product, I probably would not buy it again. I would look for an option less likely to break.

The straw part you drink from is silicone. The tube that goes into the thermos and connects to the straw is plastic.

No, just plastic. Get one of the Hero mugs. They're stainless inside and out and you can just toss it in the dishwasher!

It is made of both so do not make the mistake I made with my last one that had me buying a new one. Do not use lid in oven, the plastic will melt. I love my new one just as I loved my old one.

I don't know about the lid, but the tumbler itself is ceramic (no plastic).

I believe it is silicone. I bought it for my grandson so I don't have it here to look at b UT I'm pretty sure it's not plastic.

The lid and the mounting surface for the lid are not silicone. The rest of it is food grade silicone though.

I don't know what kind of plastic is in the lid or ring. I have used this kind of tea pot for years with no problem, the 3 cup and the 5 cup. They all have the same glass and plastic. Never thought much about plastic.

Yes it is a plastic, but BPA free and I use one daily, being a diabetic I drink a lot liquids and this cup rarely has condensation. One of my favorites of the insulated cups purchased over the years

The glass is of course PBA-free and the silicone sleeve is also. (So far, silicone is the safest of all the plastics). Now that I've bought 4 of these I am writing to the sellers to learn how we're supposed to clean under the sleeve? It opens just enough to allow water and bacteria to get underneath. This could be problematic down the road. I will also ask about the cap. This is a great question!

How does one know the difference? I can say that the red parts (flat lid, edges around the side) are plastic. But, the portion that "pops open", the opaque sides, are a flexible plastic. It could be silicone, but I don't know how to determine.

The entire lid is stainless steel. The only plastic type material is the handle you see in black and the base. The water never comes in contact with any plastic. This is a great kettle!

I believe the lid and hand grip are made of silicone. I always drink with a silicone straw because straws are healthier for your teeth.

The plastic cup would have to be one of the stronger ones that are sold everywhere now. I place the lid in the palm of my hand, plop it on the cup & walk my fingers around the edges to make sure it is sealed. Hope that helps with your question.

The mug is made of thick Borosilicate Glass. It also goes by the name of Pyrex. It is renown for its ability to withstand thermalshock. It can be heated by a bunsen burner.I am pretty sure it is microwavable :)
