is it really that hard to get water out of it when drinking?

I didn't think it was @ all my 15mo old daughter had no problem and I got one for my 16mo old niece she had no problems either :)

If you compare it with drinking from a straw, yes, it's harder, But! for a toddler it's part of the training. Also I'd rather wash this kind of bottles than washing the gummy straws and attachment.

As difficult as any sipper style cup- with a hard spout- more liquid comes out than an Avent fast flow bottle. The ease of use increases as the stopper gets used. My kids love them. It took a bit to transition but we started at 7 months with water (I nursed all three- bottles at daycare) at a year we only use these and straw cups.

For little kids...maybe. My daughter was 4 when she got this...now 5...and has no problem getting water out.

Yes, it is kinda different because you actually have to suck on the cup to get the liquid out. A child should b able to do this. My 12 month old can drink out of this cup, but he turned it upside down and it spilled out. I don't know if I didn't put it together right or if I got a faulty cup.

Seems to be a matter of pushing it in until it clicks and then filling with water. I have not had a problem. Can't separate the white container from the clear base to clean though.

I just take off the whole lid off to drink. It is kinda inconvenience. I think they designed the lid like that for keeping the drink hot, not for the shake of drinking. I'm sorry i can't help much... >.<

Yes, but not easily. You need to dry the entire thing and shimmy the top part out. It DOES NOT just slide out. The company acknowledges that it is tricky when I called but other than that wasn't too helpful. Overall, I love do love this large capacity water dispenser though.

No, but it hasn't been a problem. This means that it won't leak too. It's really light weight, so you can just dump it upside down to get the water out.

Nope. You just kind of drink through the mesh strainer. It's not uncomfortable. I really can't recommend purchasing this thing, mine is basically useless at this point due to gasket issues and leaks. A hydroflask/klean kanteen with a sippy top and a tea infuser is going to keep your tea hot and stand the test of use.

You can drink directly from the bottle. The opening is small so you have to get used to it to avoid dribbling but it is not really a problem.

There is a velcro tab (at the end of the fabric that runs from the pouch beneath the bottle). It's adjustable, to accommodate different size hands. Once the velcro is loosened, the bottle slides out from the circle at the top (with the drink spout removed). Sounds harder than it is - it's actually very easy.

It's not tricky at all once you get used to it. I have no problems either. I liked this mug so much I got one as a Christmas gift for my mom, but she hated the square shape. She admits that she's a klutz, so she was afraid she'd spill on herself. Luckily my sister, who's a way bigger Whovian than our mom anyway, was happy to take it off her hands! Neither of us find it hard to drink from at all. So I suppose it just depends on the person.

I had the same issue at first. I still don't understand what the top cap is for. To drink out of it, unscrew the whole top. Where you pour the water in is also where you're supposed to drink.

You drink directly from the glass not through the plastic cap. You have to take the cap off to drink the beverage.

You just nuzzle it into the cup... for unknown reasons, sometimes it nuzzles in and off easier than others. But I always get it "into" (on) and off. Still LOVE this mug! There is no "guard" to slide -- the drinking hole is there always, so if you have too much liquid inside, it can "spit" at you... =)

Not really. It's pretty big, you might have a hard time trying to get it back out if your bottle has a neck.

I find it very difficult to drink out of. The metal lip of the thermos -- on better ones, this part would be rubber or plastic -- gets very hot so you're burning your lips from the get-go.

It is difficult to drink form this with one hand as I often do while driving. Your wrist is bent at 90-degrees while trying to tip it toward your mouth with all the weight working against you. Two hands... no problem. By the way, this product leaked all over me for the first half-dozen times I used it. Now, it doesn't.. to my wonderment. I personally would not buy this again.

You can't drink out of this particular water bottle without making contact with the built-in straw. You have to bite down on it to get the water to flow through. Hope that helps!
