They are not microwavable. I think they are very difficult to drink from. When I was transitioning my eldest to a cup, he tried and tried to drink from these. He finally would just cry. So, I tried to drink from them and I had difficulty.

The cups are made out of plastic so I wouldn't recommend putting these in the microwave. I wouldn't say it's super easy to drink from; still requires some work from the toddler. I personally love these cups because it's actually spill proof vs. the other brands out there.

Microwavable I am not sure. I put milk in there all the time. They have to be on a flat surface to screw on the top. It does not drip, if the lid is on right. The child needs to know how to suck to use it. We started with teaching our child how to suck through a straw then we converted our child to these sippy cups. I love them!

We put one of the little ones in the microwave with water in it for 2 minutes... the cup got hot, but it came through just fine!

I have had these for several mos. They work well. No issue holding cup by handle after heating. I primarily pour hot liquid into but do sometimes reheat liquids in microwave.

There is a soft rubbery valve insert that goes into the inside of the lid and the straw is inserted into it. It is fairly easy to clean, and the kids have no problem drinking from it. The straw is very hard plastic and is therefore not collapsible, and it is cut at an angle to allow it to rest flush with the bottom of the cup and access the entire contents. We love these cups- just make sure they aren't shaken if the lid isn't closed as they will sprinkle liquid all around if so.

I think they are only meant for the nuk cups. Their cups are wonderful & they offer a variety of cups for when your baby is ready.

Hi. I remember that one milk container has come with the breastpump itself. Other NUK milk containers are fully compatible. Ivan

I don't put any plastic in the microwave for my daughter so I have not put the cup in there. The cup may be microwave safe but definitely NOT the lid with the straw. The straw bottom is plastic covered steel. Here is what I found on their website: Can you place hot liquids, carbonated beverages or juices with pulp inside the BOT cup? Hot liquids, carbonated beverages, and juices with pulp are NOT recommended You can place lukewarm beverages inside the cup, but anything warm will create a pressure so be prepared that there might be some liquid that will flow up through the straw. Zo-Li also said they don't recommend heating any plastics in the microwave.

Yes, they are microwavable. Be careful that the top does not sit directly on the base. I had a case where I did not take the container and lid out of the microwave immediately after cooking. The top got sucked in and permanently deformed. I suggest not heating tomato-based items in the containers. Tomato tends to stain the plastic.

My son still uses these cups and never had any difficulty drinking from them. Inside the hard spout is actually a soft, built-in area that the milk comes through (hard to explain but you'll understand when you see it.) After many months of daily use and washing in the dishwasher they continue to be leakproof and in excellent condition!

No, this cup is not microwave safe. No microwave symbol on the bottom. It is BPA free and dishwasher safe.

It's not safe to do this; the handle woud get too hot. Use a ceramic cup to warm your milk in the microwave instead!

They can be, I don't. I just give my baby room temperature milk. If I do need to heat it I put it in a glass cup to heat it. I also don't know if it would harm the plastic seals if microwaved over a period of time.

I put this mug in the microwave every morning for about 40 seconds to heat the milk for my coffee. Never have had a problem.

I would go with no...it doesn't say anywhere that they are microwavable, and besides - microwaving plastic releases toxins, which you probably don't want your little one to ingest!

I have the LL Bean and another Stainless steel travel mug. The straw fits through the sippy part because it is flexible. It reaches the bottom fine and the top part sort of bends outwards as in the picture. I have had no problem using it in the tall travel mugs. I was told you can actually add two together to make them longer, but I have never tried o it or had to do that. They are easy to clean. I separate them and clean them with warm soapy water. I was tired of the plastic throw any straws and the plastic taste. These are very nice and I have bought two packs. I like the pink and hope maybe more color options are available soon.
