Are the white tops on the bottles the pull-up kind so you turn the bottle upside-down to drink from it? Do you need to squeeze for water to come out?

Nope they are just an open top, once you pop the white part up its just an open hole. They are great .. I've bought more.. although the blue ones had a funky smell and are unusable!!!

The closures are pull-up type and seal very well. Bottle can be turned upside down and will not leak. Bottles are NOT soft sided and cannot be squeezed. Very durable and feel smooth in the hand.

The white tops flip on a hinge and you must turn bottle upside-down to drink from them. The hole is big enough that you don't have to squeeze... the water just flows out.

The white cap, which is attached to the lid, pops open allowing you to tip the bottle up to drink from it. You can squeeze the bottle but it is not necessary as the opening is the same size as a standard water bottle. Very good seal and the attached ring holder makes walking while holding the bottle very convenient.

No. It's a plastic top that you pry (for lack of a better term) or pop off to drink. It's not difficult to open and close, unless a younger toddler is attempting to open it. It's attached so you just pop it open to drink and click it shut to close it. I use them everyday and haven't had any issues with spilling or leaking. I hope this helps!

Nope it is just an opening about the size of a quarter. They stay closed too when you close them, even in my purse and the little handle ring on the side I sometimes clip on to my gym bag. They really are pretty nifty!

The tops are like a cap that you push on to lock them in and push up on them to open. Then you can drink from the bottle as if it were a soda can (I guess that would be upside down). You do not need to squeeze the bottles to get the water out, gravity does the work for you. These bottles are great for hikes or the gym. They keep a solid lock when the cap is pushed down and this keeps water from coming out if dropped or if you want to lay them on their sides. I hope this helps.

I don't believe you can pull the bottle straight out since the prongs are pretty tight to keep the bottle from being knocked out of the holder. But you can fold down the prongs and use the holder without the prongs holding the bottle, if you don't have any reason to believe the bottle would get knocked over. I like this option myself.

The bottle that I have has a straw. It tucks neatly away when you twist the cap. Hope this helps.

I do one of two things. I usually just remove the lift off to drink or I pull the nozzle with my teeth to open it once its been opened a few times. It seems to me that when the bottle is closed tightly, the nozzle is hard to pull. But once the nozzle is opened, it's very easy to pull up. Hope this helps.

You lay it down so that the words on the top that are in the picture are facing up (facing you). The zipper unzips the top all the way around to the back and it unfolds. The foam piece that is inside has little holes in it to put the bottles in. The top will stay open because it flips all the way back to rest on the table /desk/what ever you sit it on. It is like a briefcase but goes all the way back instead of opening up to create an L shape. The way it is in this picture is the way you would carry it and the bottles would be resting in the protective foam piece on their sides with it in the upright, carry position. Hope that helps!

The NEW belts (approx. 2014 - 2015) that do NOT have the "pull up" nipple... they do NOT leak. The ones with the pull up nipple (white) weren't so good and they did leak if doing sprints or got knocked over. The new bottles require you to suck out the liquid ... and they have NO pull nipple on them. Love it!!

I actually had no problem opening any of my bottles. I just use both thumbs and push on the part where the wires twist around which causes the top to flip and you just swing it down.

yes, you have to remove the cap. Its an open crock. You just slowly pour the water until the bottle is on top of the crock. I never spill:) I love my crock!

The bottles I use have a cap that you keep on the bottle. You peel off the little paper circle, turn the bottle over, and let it sink down into the machine. The machine pokes the hole in the cover.

Mine are. They're small but I use them for travel. Mine are easy to squeeze, unlike others that are made out of hard plastic. I see in the pictures there are two styles of tops. Mine is just like this picture...with a flip-up cap. Does that help?

Well, neither really. You push them on and there is a rubber ring that creates a seal. Does that make sense? It does create a nice tight seal that won't leak. However, on top you will either have the straw opening or the sipper side open. The plastic piece slides back and forth to expose one or the other, you can't have both sides closed. So, it's not going to leak on you as you drink, but you won't be able to throw these in a bag and go.

Well, there is a silicone seal around the outside of the cap. I don't think it would hold the water in if you turned the carafe upside down, but does a fine job of keeping out dust and such. As to touching the liquid, it is at the very top so it would not touch the water when it is on. But the cap does fit inside the bottle and is not like an old milk bottle where the cap fits on the outside.

I went and looked at my bottle. The colors are different but it is the same. That said I had no trouble twisting off the cap and the csrininer. Grasping the neck of the bottle and twist the top. "LEFTY LOOSEY--RIGHTY TIGHTY". Mine came unscrewed very easily.

The directions on the bottle/ label state "Squeeze the sides of the water bottle and pull up." You do have to squeeze hard.

It sounds like you have a defective bottle. It should easily squeeze out of the bottle.

Yes, as long as you screw on the tops good, they're leak proof! I've put them in my purse sideways multiple times and nothing leaked out. They're great bottles, the perfect size. I've saved a lot of plastic bottles by buying these.

I just turn it upside down. Use it that way. I also have 2 bottles. One I use as just a spray, no scrub. Then I remove the spray and put the cap which comes on it back on. Then I use the scrub bottle but upside down. It shouldn't leak.maybe your bottle is stripped.
