New generation cups are impossible to fully clean., 6 Mar. 2015

We've loved our previous generation Tommee Tippee insulated cups - the truly spill proof drink cup. They were the only cups we could have our little one fall asleep with without worrying about it leaking everywhere. There were some complaints about taking it apart and getting it back together, but it really wasn't bad. Plus, it was easy to clean. The valves were two-piece heart-shaped (how cute) and we were able to scrub all parts easily - especially useful when milk had been in the cup. Unfortunately the new generation cups have a single-piece valve that's impossible to fully clean. It's two pieces of fused plastic with a silicone valve inside. I don't care what kind of brush you have, if you previously had milk in there, there's going to be some spot where it lingers. Then once you pull it back out to use and sniff it to make sure it's clean, you'll get a nice rotten milk smell. Not quite something I want to give to my little one.

My advice: Try to find all the previous...

New valve is a shambles, 22 Aug. 2015

I agree fully with Jas and Joce.... Cup is quite good, but what have they done with the valve?!? Totally useless .... It is impossible to fully clean it as it is sealed and flushing water through and shaking afterwards doesn't quite cut it in getting it clean. Avoid!

The valve leaks. I sought out one of the old design which is much better.
