is this cup microwave safe? Also is this leak proof?

I just purchased these on the piece of paper that was inside the Sippy cup, it says "do not use in microwave."

No, it is not microwave safe. For those who are unaware, you should never microwave food or drinks in plastic. When you microwave food or drinks in plastic, the plastic (along with all the toxins) leaches into the food/drink. For your child's safety, please do not do this with any sippy cups/bottles. I am shocked to see that people are unaware of this risk. This is a serious health hazard.

I don't know about being microwave safe or not, I've not looked, nor used them in the microwave. They are leakproof, and I only have small drops come out when banged or tossed, which happens a lot. Also, they did change the product slightly since I've gotten mine, so I'm not sure if the design is exactly the same on these as the ones I have. I love mine, but have not wanted to try the new design because the spout has changed, I'm not sure if it would still be leak proof, or if my son would like it as much, he loves this one!

I microwave them all the time with or without the top. It is leak proof too. It leaks a little when you screw the cap on but once it is closed is fine.We leave it in our son's room crib during the night and we never had issues with it.

Yes and yes! I used them in our microwaveable bottle sterilizer daily. As for leak proof - they're about as leak proof as a sippy can be. Occasionally little droplets come out if they are dropped from a high chair or thrown across the room but I would highly recommend these cups.

I do not have my packaging anymore so I don't know if it says it on there, but it does not say if it is microwave safe or not. Honestly I would assume it would not be microwave safe. All of my other sippy cups are not so I think this wouldn't either. About the leak proof. Well at first yes I could say it was leak proof. But after a few weeks my son learned about banging his sippy cup on the highchair. Since the very first time he banged it on the tray it has leaked. Since then I have purchased other sippy cups and have not used these sippy cups since.

It is completely leak proof. I regularly throw it in my backpack and no problems. I primarily use it for coffee, but also tea too. The drinking surface is plastic and sometimes it is stained black from the coffee until I wash it. I'm willing to bet the flavor would leak if I were to just rinse and drink tea...

According to the bottom of the mug, it is both dishwasher and microwave safe. I have not put it in the microwave, so I don't have personal experience with putting it in the microwave, but it says that it is safe to do so.

The bottom of the mug says it is microwave and dishwasher safe. I have used it in the top rack of dishwasher; came out fine. I haven't personally used it in the microwave.

The only thing I can tell you is that I heat water in the microwave for my coffee. The tumbler's that have logos and artwork on them can't do that and the lids also should not be microwaved. I was mine in the dishwasher, even the lid without problems.

It is both dishwasher and microwave safe. I bought it to take my lunch to work and nothing spills.

I know for sure that they are top rack dishwasher safe. I personally would not use in the microwave, since I cannot find any info on its safety. Otherwise the cups ate great. They hold up well to the abuse of a two year old and wash up great, no fading or breakage.

do not microwave this cup. the handle must have metal in it. i burnt myself taking it out of the microwave thinking it was like any other ceramic cup. the cup itself only heated up with the coffee inside but the handle itself was extremely hot.

As far as chemical leakage from microwave use, the research I did on the product all say it was safe, so I am taking that at word. As for my own personal use, I have used this bowl with cover, and many others like it for many years in the microwave without problem. If you are still unsure of the safety from the plastic cover you can further research that kind of information on the internet before making a decision. Hope this helps...............Susan

Yes it is leak proof. I bought this because my ice tea maker leaks occasionally, and this is the perfect size to put it in. Now even when it leaks, my counter is always dry.

The lid is not leakage proof if you tilt the cup. Also avoid overfilling the cup as the lever will not close tight if the cup is too full.

it is leak-proof. i have been very happy with mine, which i purchased over a year ago and use almost daily.

I should not even try it. Metals in microwave are dangerous. I heat the milk in a regular cup and then pour on the stainless steel cup

I don't know. I don't heat water up in the microwave. The band around the cup is some kind of rubber or other substance and I don't think it would do well in the microwave but I don't know for sure. But I do love the cup. I bought it for my Mom who has Alzheimer's when she started spilling coffee everytime she drank it. It's the right size, not to big or small, and the top has held up through use after use after use.

The cups are pure plastic construction, hard plastic cover and inner liner, foam insulation between the cover and liner, so I would assume that they are microwaveable. However the mugs keep everything so cold and so hot for so long,, put in in hot and it will likely stay that way... On a fishing trip a while back, I filled one of these badboys up with Bailys/Coffee, took it out with me into the 30deg+wind-weather, and it kept the coffee warm all the way to the end of the cup. It didn't keep my hands warm 'cause the cup is insulated, but my belly likey...

The lid snaps on with rubber striping on the inside of the lid so it doesn't leak at all for me. But the cup is not dishwasher safe. If you do the bottom/inside the walls of the cup will fill up with water. But besides the dishwasher thing, I love these cups. I own 4 of them!

Yes it is microwave safe. The lid is better cleaned by hand as part of it twists so it can be closed.
