Cups with Lids

I am really tired of cleaning up spilled cups. I can get my kids a drink and by the time I sit down to eat, the drink is all over the table and floor. It is so annoying. I have resorted to taking home the cups from restaurants that give child plastic cups with lids. Are there any cups out on the market that I can buy that are similar to the restaurant cups??

What can I do next?

I couldn't stand sippy cups or dealing with all the lids & straws etc... I use my low ball glasses that came with my glassware set. I got them from Walmart & they are thick glass & heavy. They are not top heavy like most kids glasses are but rather go straight up & down, so they do not tip over. My kids 4 & 5 have to use both hands to pick them up & drink, which keeps them from spilling & if I give them something I really don't want spilled like milk or grape juice, I put in a flex straw. I've used them for a little over a year now & only one spill from daughter the older one & it was from her pouring her drink into her brothers. Easy clean up too since they go straight in dishwasher & glass doesn't get all icky either. Hope this helps you. Oh I think the glases were like $9.99 for 12. It came with 6 highball glasses & 6 lowball glasses.

Okay, if they are toddlers I love the Playtex Sipsters. These hardly ever leak and they are better on their teeth than the regular sippy cups. They sell them at Wal-mart for $5 apiece. I know kinda hefty for a cup but they work.

The "take and toss" type of cups have worked great for us and come in both spout and straw type cups--have resusable staws. I have both types, but had a bit of a time finding spouts that were free flowing...I just enlarged the holes with a hot paperclip. They are dishwasher safe and have held up great...been using some of them since my three year old was 5-6 months old. The only time I have a problem with a lid coming loose is if I drop it on the floor or she throws it at me...lol.

I don't know for sure, but I feel like Costco would be your best bet because so many small businesses use them to stock up supplies. Or ask a restaurant where they order their cups and contact that company and see what they have to say.
