In my kitchen cabinet we have eight sippy cups. The cups are in good condition and take up quite a bit of cabinet space. Next to the sippy cups sit one lonely valve. Where are the other valves you ask? Good question. I have no idea. I’ve looked in car seat crevices, in between couch cushions, under cribs, under beds, under tables, under every piece of furniture we own and I still can’t find more valves. Did my dishwasher eat them? I don’t know, but here’s what I do know. It’s highly aggrivating on multiple fronts:
- I can’t find the valves by themselves in any store, which means…
- I have to buy the entire sippy cup to get the desperately needed valve. Hence, the reason we have eight.
- Every time my child wants a new drink (switch from Milk to water, for example) I have to hand wash our only valve. And since I seem to be washing my hands all the time as it is (that would explain why my hands are cracking), I don’t want to wash another valve.
So I decided to make a switch to Tilty sippy cups with no valves. It’s one less thing I have to keep up with, one less thing my 2 year old can destroy, and one less thing that my dishwasher and food disposal can eat.
Tilty’s ergonomic design makes drinking easier and more comfortable. Requires less head tilt than any other sippy cup. Teaches better mechanics to help babies graduate from a sippy to a regular cup. Has a snap on lid without a valve for better dental development, as recommended by the ADA, American Dental Association. They are BPA free, Dye free, PVC free, and dishwasher safe.
To be sure, there are other valve free sippy cups out there and those about to decide which sippy cups to buy, I would suggest ones without a valve. We are through with Playtex sippy cups.
