I'm mainly using this in the car, as I was tired of the mess and moisture that other cups leave in the console cup holder.
Though that was my initial intention, I've actually started using this daily in the house too as I find that I drink much more water with this at my side and I don't have to worry about leaving rings on the table either.
Love it so much that I had to order another one b/c my husband kept using mine.
Note: remember to remove or wash in the groove where the silicone ring sits in the lid. I was just washing the lid in tact without paying specific notice to that grooved area. One day I noticed something dark along the silicone ring. Ugh, gross . . . there was a ring of mold along where the silicone ring is seated in the lid.
Love:
- completely condensation free and sweat-free
- ice will stay frozen in drinks for close to 14 hours - - - solid cubes overnight if in the fridge
- the straw makes it very easy to drink
- the lightly textured exterior makes it very comfortable and secure to hold onto
- the lack of a handle allows it to easily fit in every cup holder I've tried it in
Not so much:
- the lid with its' silicone seal is leakproof, but the slide closure around the straw hole is not completely water tight. That being said, unless you are laying this on its' side or upside down, the seal is plenty tight enough to prevent spillage if bumped or jostled.
- need to take the silicone ring off the lid for washing/sterilizing.
* * - I just ordered a third one of these - - a little disappointed that although the thermal cup is the same, the straw is different. The first 2 that I received had a straw with a stopper ring right around the bottom 3" of the straw to prevent it from falling out. The 3rd order of this same item came with just a regular straw - - - no stopper ring. Definitely not a big deal, but I really do prefer the straws with the stopper ring.
