when the bottle is on its side or even nipple downward, does it leak/drip?

There's a round plastic insert that goes over the top of the bottle (between the bottle part and the nipple) that keeps it from leaking. If you don't use the insert, it does leak.

Yes it does. I tested it out by holding it upside down and nothing leaked out.

I just turn it upside down. Use it that way. I also have 2 bottles. One I use as just a spray, no scrub. Then I remove the spray and put the cap which comes on it back on. Then I use the scrub bottle but upside down. It shouldn't leak.maybe your bottle is stripped.

Yes, it does leak when the straw is out and the bottle is tilted. I had the munchkin ones that don't leak, they seem to have a stopper at the base of the straw that only opens when the baby starts drinking but the bottles are small about 7oz size I think. I like the OXO bottle though, because it is big and the material used is different compared to other bottles

Obviously, it is an issue based on others responses. However, I have purchased 2 of these same bottles and have not had any leakage problems. I did read a review once from an individual who suggested that making sure the back hinge of the cap is lined up with the measurement marks of the bottle, somehow, prevents it from leaking. I always place the cap on in that manner and believe that to be true--as strange as it sounds. See if that works.

I have had it on it side and it has never leaked. But upside down I would not trust

There is a flat, round cap that sits on top of the bottle, where the nipple screws on that was included in the packaging but I cannot see any use for. If that is still in, the milk won't come out. Other than that, the nipple is different than other bottles I have used. There is a flat side that should be facing downward when feeding the baby and the rounder part of the nipple that has the hole in it should be facing up. Otherwise, the milk will drip out when you try to put the nipple in the baby's mouth. I hope that helps!

So far, I have had no issues with it leaking. Like you, the bottle is sideways and getting moved around a lot in my backpack when I take it to work.

As long as it remains upright then it will be fine but it will leak if on its side

No, you may loose a drop but no running down the side. I do have this happen a very small amount when I fill it from empty

I have not had any problems with mine... Sometimes if you do not line up the bottom right when you screw them on they will leak (just like anything with a screw cap). What I noticed is that water can get stuck in the bottom (Between the white "ring" and the bottle plastic) and it seems like the bottle is leaking but its not.

It almost reaches down to the bottom consistently. You will probably have to tilt the bottle to the side, when you are nearing the bottom

No. When the straw is in the closed position, a little gap opens up behind it so that even when closed, there is a small opening on the top of the bottle. If the bottle is on its side, it will leak. I have found the OXO kids twist water bottle to be more leak proof: http://www.amazon.com/OXO-Twist-Water-Bottle-Ounce/dp/B00ANJIE42/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1408022097&sr=8-3&keywords=oxo+water+bottle

As long as you close it all the way it does not leak. Sometimes you have to move the lid a little to get it to close all the way.

The hole is small and doesn't leak too much if you tip it upside down, but my daughter pushes the nipple on the floor (purposely) and it leaks all over. Problem is that she only will drink milk from those cups and those nipples!

Unfortunately, on mine, with the lid on, mine does leak when it is tilted on its side. They need more of a silicon plug at the end of the cap

No leaks. I've dropped it numerous times, laid it down on my car seat, put it in my briefcase upside down.....all without leaks. I may be lucky, but.....it's a good bottle.
