Is this tumbler leak proof when the straw is in the lid? Or is there a small gap between the straw and hole that would create a spill if knocked over?

Haven't knocked mine over "yet" so I filled it with water, put the straw in the lid and turned it on its side to test it. Water came out of the minimal area around the straw. A rubber gasket holds the lid on very tightly, but there is no gasket around the straw area. Water will leak at that point only. I love this tumbler and use it as much as possible.

No. It is not leak proof when the straw is in the lid. It is leak proof when the straw is not in the lid. The leak is a slow dribble, so if you knocked it over by accident it wouldn't leak very much.

No not really. It'll leak a little if knocked over when straw is in place. I take it on the go without the straw in place. You can either take the straw separate or leave it behind & just drink straight from the top with the lid off. If you buy this product you won't be disappointed, it's the most used thing in my kitchen. I LOVE IT!

It's not totally "leak-less." The seal must be on very tightly. And you might still get a drip or two.No cup I've ever had is fail proof, but this is a great brand! Just don't go use it as a football...

The straw isn't hard. So it's not a hazard. My son was just under 1 when he learned to drink with a straw. My daughter was 2. These straws are not sippy straw though. so it will leak if the cup is dropped or tipped over. I think Gerber has a spill proof straw cup.

I have not had an issue with spills or leaking unless my daughter pinches the straw and turns the cup upside down, which she's only done once! Otherwise it's been really effective!

Hubby loves his but it will leak if it gets knocked over. It a very tight seal but the opening that you drink out of is open all the time.

Excellent question! NO, it is not spill proof. With the lid down all the way, it still has a small opening for pouring coffee. So, if it falls over, coffee will spill out all over the place. It apparently was meant to work this way so that you don't have to press the lid at all when pouring, and works fine as long as it is upright. Hope this was helpful.

It is not a flip top & it will leak if it is not upright. The hole straw or just drinking is open.

Not at all. I got this tumbler for my husband and he pretty much hates it because the lid never stays on and he has spilled water and shake one time too many.

Happy help. The lid is a very tight snap-on and the twist movement smooth. If the container falls I think you would be OK unless the "flap" pops open. But even so, not too many should spill out. This is a winner for $7. I would actually paid much more for this product.

Yes it is leak proof as long as the rubber straw part is in place and the lid in the closed position. I've had no problems with mine. Hope this helps.

You can drink out of it like a sippy cup, no straw needed, but it is not leakproof. It helps in the spilling amount, more so with the straw.

Hi April, yes, it will leak if you tipped over with the straw in because there is a secure dispositive that is open when you put the straw, only without the straw, the shaker is closed.

Yes Deborah, there is a very small pinhole in the top. It allows air to escape when the lid is used. If the cup is tilted, very little if any liquid is leaked.

If knocked over it will leak out of the 'sip' hole. There is no cover for this opening. It is not meant to be knocked over, but rather kept upright, like a take-out cup one would get at a major cafe chain. I hope this helps. It is however, a handsome, heavy travel mug that fits most comfortably in the hand.

Yes, but understand that this is not spill proof. It has a cover for the drinking hole and vent hole that rotates over them to limit spills, but will not totally stop a spill. A straw would fit in the drinking hole.

You're referring to the travel plug which is included with the cup. I haven't used the travel plug at all. My son drinks all day long, so I don't worry about it. If you leave the cup alone for a while, and it's full, the liquid will rise through the straw and may leak onto the table/floor, etc. whenever I see that happening, I sip from his cup and it's a non-issue.

Yes. I drink sodas from it, and the small hole lets the pressure out, but if it's tipped over, it may only leak a tiny drop... it won't spill. I love this cup. I have several colors.
