Help me find a leakproof travel mug please!

Can anyone recommend a travel mug? I have the following criteria!

Small hands so something tall and skinny or with a handle would be good.

Don’t particularly need it to stay hot for hours, just so I can get to the beach down the road 🙂

Easy to clean, and a smooth rim so I can drink with the lid off.

Most importantly, it needs to be leakproof so I can carry it in a bag and have my hands free.

I have searched Amazon but there’s so many good and bad reviews I find it hard to choose!

I’ve had this one for 10 years and never had a leak: www.bodum.com/gb/en/11093-294-travel-mug?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIhrmq36TX-AIVjN_tCh1-QwQ8EAQYCyABEgIUKPD_BwE no handle is the only thing

Yeti handled mugs are fantastic. Dishwasher safe too.

Oh wait, but not leakproof! Contigo are better for leakproof.

Don’t search for mugs if it’s going in a bag as they are designed to be carried and they just do leak- search for thermos type thungs instead snd you’ll find mug type beakers that have two sections one is the seal (with drinking bit) and then there’s another lid you screw on top. We’ve been down this road and this works!
i will look for a link

Smash Travel Mug

yes, this one! I love it! I’ve just taken it to Glastonbury where it was used and abused. Would get a coffee in the mornings, sling it in my bag and drink it when ready. Later in the day it got filled with wine and beer, and flung around while I was dancing 😅 not a single leak!!

contigo.
There's a bit of a thread at the top but it isn't sharp and you can drink over it. The ones with a completely smooth top aren't leakproof.

Look for leakproof flask not travel mug.

That’s a nice looking mug, the lack of a handle isn’t a dealbreaker as long as I can grip it well, that one looks like it has a textured grip so that might work.

Contigo is the only one I’ve ever used that’s leakproof-we have three!

It keeps it piping hot though and I prefer to drink through the opening than take the top off.

A flask of course! Great idea! I’m going to broaden my search parameters!

I also came to recommend the Bodum one - indestructible, keeps drink hot for hours, good seal.

Try collapsable ones... like stojo... then they get nice and small and you can put them in plastic bag just to be safe... There are a lot of good responsible travel ideas in this book www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0B3SFLRW6/ref=dbs_a_def_rwt_bibl_vppi_i1

I'm going against the grain here as I really don't rate Contigo travel mugs. They don't keep your drink hot for very long, particularly when compared with other travel mugs I have.
