Non-leaky travel drinking cups needed

[sylvev]

Has anyone come across a drinking cup that does not leak when being transported? My ds takes cartons of juice to school with his lunch, but I would prefer to make up drinks. We have tried cups from Lakeland, sports cups etc. Any recommendations?

There are loads of non-spill cups on the market. I am at the office so I can't see what brands are on ours but we bought them at Sainsbury's.
The best one though I bought in Singapore and I found a similar one (same system) in France... but haven't seen it in the UK.

If all else fails, can you try a flask? Any container used for transporting hot drinks has got to be leak-proof - one would hope so anyway.

I find mineral water bottles - the ones with a twist and suck top - very good. I often save them and fill them up with other drinks when we go out. They are water tight for a week or so at least, and they are cheap to replace.

Thanks for the ideas. I couln't use a flask, though, as they are banned at the school because they have glass inside! (I guess some ingenious primary-schooler could use it at as weapon)! I shall try the mineral bottle and see how he gets on.

I bought an all-plastic flask from Woolworths. I think it was filled with polystyrene. It was really cheap - and its lid even unscrewed so you could biscuits into it!

Not sure how effective it was at keeping things hot though - I'd bought it to take water around with us for ds when we were on holiday in Greece last summer.
