The website for the Tilty Sippy Cup claims that their product is a “better sippy cup” — and checking out product testimonials and specs, the overwhelming opinion is that it’s true. We like Tilty from a health point of view because they’ve made sure their product is DYE Free, BPA Free, PVC Free, Pthalate Free, pure polypropylene, and is dishwasher safe. Quite a mouthful of unnecessary chemicals, right?

In terms of the actual design, Tilty says that theirs is the best sippy cup ever. How come? A recent blog post on the official site gives us some insight:

Tilty’s patent pending angled wall makes the amount of tilt required to drink or finish the fluids much less. A Tilty™ can be finished without tipping the cup past half way. The mechanics (the hand to the mouth and the raising the arm/hand to tilt the cup to drink) is totally different. Little ones with Tilty’s don’t tip their heads back all the way, they finish their drink completely more often, and they can use it in a stroller or car seat with ease. When they graduate to big cups they don’t make as much of a mess (hard to measure, but we have had testimonies to it).

I haven’t had any experiences with Tilty (my infant is only 4 months old) — but most people seem to like it. The only exception I can find is a recent comment on OhdeeOh from a mom that disputes the “best ever” claim. She writes,

“I really thought these would be the BEST sippy cups, but I personally can’t stand them. I have issues with leaking if i don’t close them correctly, which happens a ton, especially when there’s a toddler who’s positively DYING of thirst [sarcasm] and I’m frazzled. They also hold very little liquid, and if you’ve got a thirsty bean like I do, you’ll be making quite a few cups during the day.”
