Just wondering if these leak. I want to use them for smoothies to keep lunches cool but defrost over the day to drink later?

I put them in my kids lunches and they have not leaked. I also put them in a zip lock bag just in case - I have 1 in kindergarten, so who knows what it goes through in the classroom. Just make sure you leave about 1/2 to 1 inch in the top because liquids expand when they freeze.

Ms AmandaI am using the silicone popsicle molds for my bath bomb frizz. This is not a liquid and will not be put in a freezer. This is a body product.

I had bought this as a cooler for putting in cold items and yes, to put ice in as well. It has leaked since day 1 and I need to exchange it. But I wasn't sure if there would be an issue because the manufacturer may be treating it as a lunch type box. So, I've had leaks even well below the zipper line.

I did not have any problems with leakage. I have used them for transporting pickles, making jello shots and putting condiments in to take for lunch.

I have never had one of these leak. I use them daily either in lunch box or for cold food from the market. Well constructed and dependable best you can use

I haven't had a problem with leaking, but mine are still pretty new. I tossed a mason jar with smoothie into the diaper bag. It didn't leak. It was kind of risky, but I was desperate at the moment.

I have not experienced any leaks from the containers while toting in my lunch bag. I try to keep containers with food upright as much as possible but have emptied my bag with a container shifted on its side, etc. but have never had any spills so far (although I have only owned these for about 8 months now). I wash the lids in my dishwasher too, so I think they are designed very well.

I am afraid that it will, most likely, leak. They don't travel well with liquid in them. In fact, when I do put them in a lunch box/kit, I'll put the cube in a plastic, zip-lock bag. I found more tightly sealed containers at the grocery store.

I guess it depend on what you put in them if they are leak proof. I just put water in mine, screwed them together and shook them and water leaked out. If you put snacks foods, like cheerios, crackers, etc. in them they don't leak. They do screw together easily.

Yes, I would recommend this for smoothies! I could not believe after 3 days I still had ice water in this thermos. To make the smoothies stay thicker longer, you may just want to put some ice in the thermos for 10-15 minutes to get it cold then remove the ice and put the smoothie in, should stay firm pretty long. These thermos' are great, best I've ever used and highly recommended for hot OR cold ;>) Enjoy your COLD smoothies ;>)

Hi There,I can't answer that as I use them for my daily pills so I have not used them for liquid. I will say they tighten up pretty tight. I just put water in one and it did not leak. Good Luck

I have never had them leak and I've been using them for a year now. I've put fruit in them and the juice has never leaked. I own 3 sets of these containers and love them! Now that my son is getting bigger, I wish they made them in a bigger size.

sorry to late in responding. i have never seen these leak unless i dropped water or ice when i put them into the cooler. since i have tile floors, i would have noticed. if you are concerned, put a small clear plastic tarp underneath cut to its side that would also tell you. i have used these for years.

I don't think they are intended to be used that way. Several of the individual cubes in my set have leaked, so even though they are just filled with water I would be nervous using them in drinks. Also, they are easy to clean but only because I am not hyper worried about scrubbing each one...if they were going to directly contact food I would be more concerned about bacteria or food stuff on the outside. I do LOVE them for lunches, though.

They only leak if you wash them in the dishwasher...they are NOT dishwasher safe! They need to be hand washed then you will have no leaks.

I never had an issue with them leaking and I used them everyday for six months. The only problem would be if they are overly full then frozen, the top won't stay on then. Just don't fill to the very top.

No. I ordered 2 sets and about 3 of the ones that I got came home in my kids' lunches unopened because they were stuck closed. My kids, their teachers, my husband, and I could not open them no matter what. So actually those 3 were leak proof, but also unusable as a result! The remaining ones that we are able to use will hold mushy food, but if you put soup or water in them, the'd leak if they were tilted sideways or upside down. The lid and bottom pieces have no thread like a screw would - the lids are slightly wider than the bottoms and just fit over the bottom piece.
