I want to use these for salad dressing (oil) - do they leak?

I used them for a lip scrub made with solid coconut oil and sugar so it was not liquid. I think they might leak with liquid.

The lids are a tad slippery and when on tight enough not to leak can be a little hard to get back off. If they have a bit of oil on them darn near impossible. But seeing as how they're the perfect size for single serve dressing, (good idea by the way) and clean up nicely don't let that stop you, for a better grip just put a fat rubber band (like the one that comes on celery) around the lid

No not at all. In fact they are very flexable and they don't leak if they are tipped.

These click shut and do not leak. They are good for putting liquids in. I use them for homemade ice cream, chili, soup, etc.

Yes. It is leak proof. Make sure all four tabs are locked in place. That is how i mixed the salad. This is the best salad container for commuters that i found.

Yes, they can leak, but still like the divided plates, as I take dinner's to my in-laws who are in the late 80's. freeze meals and take them out to them, so I do not experience leaks since meals are frozen.

I only use them for water, but simply put - if you close the lid and turn it upside down nothing comes out. So I would assume no matter what liquid you put in there it would not leak out.

Well, no, they do not leak, but they can get very heavy if you use them as a toilette. I should not say this, but you should see an Urologist and use this in case of an accident.

I have not experienced any leaks from the containers while toting in my lunch bag. I try to keep containers with food upright as much as possible but have emptied my bag with a container shifted on its side, etc. but have never had any spills so far (although I have only owned these for about 8 months now). I wash the lids in my dishwasher too, so I think they are designed very well.

I have never had a problem with liquids leaking. I use the smaller sizes in my lunch bags and have never had a leak. The others don't get shaken much unless I'm using them for a marinade, which get shaken gently, but again, no trouble. I like these a lot.

I have not had them leak as of yet. Just make sure you get the plastic roller insert in tightly.

Yes they do not leak. I bought a bunch of these containers in various sizes for my son as a fun like Christmas present a couple of years ago. My son is an avid fisherman and has been fishing for years so what he does with the containers is store the salmon fish eggs in them which he uses for bait. They get a lot of use and abuse and the containers are often in water warm and cold near the fishing streams.

Yes, you can put liquid in, but make sure they do not get squished. With pressure in a box they could get crushed and leak.But I've stacked several with salad dressings and sauces in lunches and they survived with no problems.

Yes....fine for things like yogurt and sauce-type condiments. Not sure I would use them for oil-based salad dressings though.

I have not had any problems with them yet. I even put coconut oil in one of them with a lid and keep it in my swim bag. It has not leaked yet.

no they are not leak proof. I had them in a box filled with essential oils. When turned on the sides oil leaked out

I do not know for sure if they would leak. The lids are very nice though. I am sorry, I have not yet tried to see if they would leak while packed in a lunch bag.

Leaking has never personally happened with my set. Not ever, and I take a lot of differing things in my lunch. Maybe the other folks are overfilling their containers--maybe don't fill it up to the top? But no, in my experience they don't leak.
