stainless steel straw sippy?

post #1 of 7
Thread Starter 
Has anyone found one that has NO plastic on it? Everything I'm finding seems to be stainless steel with a plastic straw, but I want one that is all steel. Does that exist?

I also want to find some toddler-size stainless steel plates & bowls but they are so expensive!

I don't think I know of *any* cup with a lid that is 100% stainless... Stainless steel lids just don't work very well. But I/we *love* our foogo cups. They do have plastic lids & straws though

I bought some stainless steel straws years ago to use with regular stainless steel cups, but I won't let my toddler use them. Both my older child and I have banged our teeth on them a few times and it hurts! I have my toddler use regular plastic straws because I'm afraid she'd chip a tooth or something. The rest of the family does still use the SS ones.

No, I've never seen what you are looking for- I think it would be hard to get a good seal in an all metal cup. And after using our ss straws I don't think I would want one.

We all use metal flatware and don't hit our teeth the way we did with the straws at first. I guess because I leave my teeth more closed when drinking through a straw and open wider for a bite of food? Now that I am used to them I don't have a problem.

Hmm we don't use straws except when we're out so I never tried the SS ones but I guess if you bang your teeth on them, that's a good reason not to get it! Maybe that's why I haven't found what I'm looking for... because no one would want it OK I will have to consider SS with a plastic straw I guess! Thanks guys!!

We use Camelbak bite valve ones http://www.amazon.com/CamelBak-BPA-F.../dp/B0019DCD7U

They're BPA free. DD can do the bite valve fine, but I wasn't sure if it's ok for her mouth or teeth or something, so I just took the blue thing off and she can sip it like a straw.

Granny just bought a SS straw cup from Starbucks and it is awesome! DD loves it and it is really nice looking! No Dora or other stupid design! http://www.starbucksstore.com/products/shprodde.asp?SKU=275189
still got the plastic straw and top though!

I guess I would try and find something without a straw. I have never found a straw cup with no plastic sorry.
