are they really leak proof? My kids take yogurt to school and nothing is worth, then having that in the lunch box...

My experience was that they were only leak proof if they remain total upright. I had so many things leak out of them including yogurt if they fell over!

I love them. I take yogurt to work in these and they have not leaked. I love the different sizes too.

Yes, I always use the smaller ones for salad dressing or soy sauce when I take fried rice to work. I have used the larger ones for soup and never had an issue with it spilling.

I wouldn't say any piece of Tupperware type storage is leak-proof but I am impressed with the quality and sturdiness of the lunch box. Additionally, I think the fit of the lid to each individual box is about as close to leak proof as I have ever come across thus far. And the ice pack in the middle is a great idea as well! My four year old gets it apart just fine on his own.

Mine haven't leaked yet and I even had them as treats in the car for a trip but they were eaten withing 20-30 minutes anyway. I also suction the contents into the lid to keep excess air out.

I lay these sideways in my daughters lunch box and they have never leaked. They work really well!

No, there isn't. I wish there was, then they wouldn't leak when I take something for lunch!

Definitely. leak free. but pack with a cold pack because it's non insulated and the milk would sour otherwise. also the condensation might be frustrating but wrap in a paper towel in the lunchbox with a cold pack and you'll be good to go. chocolate milk tastes DELICIOUS in this thing.

Yes and no. I emptied out one of mine just now (the smallest one), filled it with water, and shook it fairly vigorously. In that case, it leaked somewhat. However, unless you really make an effort to cause leakage, spillage, I believe they would be fine. Sorry it took so long to respond! (Just saw the previous response; I believe I agree, in essence, though I think if you had one in a box or other container, AND didn't go through an earthquake (or similar), it would likely be "okay." Tupperware? might be better, or something similar.

I only use them to store salad or produce (Washed lettuce etc. ) But you can also put soup in them. I have had no problem w/ leakage. the seal is pretty tight.It has a good vacuum to it. They are really nice bowls . I have ordered them several times over the years. They keep things neat in the frig and they wash up great .

In my experience, they generally do not leak. I have refrozen contents after my kids only finished off half without problems. However, I usually freeze them upright in a large mug in the freezer, at least initially.

I have used these in my lunchbox and have not had any leakage. I am using these as replacements for the black lidded rubbermaid containers that are no longer available. I like these and will order again.

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.

I have been using these in my kindergartener's lunch all year with no leaks. He is autistic, so he is fairly rough on things, but they are pretty sturdy.

I would not recommend putting yogurt in one of the bento compartments as it would leak all over. I pack yogurt in a foogo thermos with a u-konserve ice pack and it works well.

I haven't tried putting yogurt in these since my kids don't like yogurt. But I'm confident that the lid seals tight enough to hold yogurt without it leaking. I'm not sure how many ounces it will hold, but it definitely seems large enough to hold a good serving size and I'd be willing to bet it would hold 6 oz. Sorry I can't say from experience though!

Yes - they are great and I use them for my son's lunch and snacks on the go. No rust and easy for them to open, they seem to seal tight and not leak. Lightweight as well. I would recommend these! 1/4 cup (small) and 1 cup estimate (large)

Yes, they do not leak at all I purchased two. One for veggies and the other for dressing. My 10 year old has never had a leakage problem with these and she uses them daily for school. I wash them by hand. No dishwasher!
