Bottle or cup to drink at home for 2 year old?

So at the moment my 2 year old DS has a Tum Tum cup for his water, we are using this at home and for going out but looks like it’s on his last legs because he has chewed the small straw.

Sometimes he also use just a normal beaker cup, you know the one you hold with two hands but as 2 year olds does sometimes he spill everything everywhere, himself included.

So I guess I’m on a hunt for a new bottle to use at home and for going out too.
At the moment I’m looking at the Nuby ones.

Would appreciate any suggestions!

I’d go with a cup. DS is 18mo and he has a glass at home (unless I’m being lazy) or a bottle with straw when we’re out. He’s started asking for a “ass” if I give him the bottle.

Open cup should be fine, just have paper towels around!

We use an ikea plastic tumbler with meals but at any other time he has the Camelback kids straw cups. You can replace just the mouth spout so they really last (still using them for school with DD5). Can’t be doing with open cups anywhere except the dining table and the sofa etc getting all wet because he has one sip, forgets it there and knocks it over!
