Bought 3 to carry milk for tea at work. They leak if tipped even slightly. Any remedy? Recommendation for another typ bottle instead?

My Lifefactory Bottles are the 16 & 22oz. with the carry-handle lid. They don't leak. But I transport them in insulated wine bag carriers from ThirtyOne just in case.

I have only purchased the larger bottles. The ones with a single lid seam to work better for me. If the seal stays intact, I don't have any trouble with leakage. I have one bottle that has a pop top on it, which is very convenient for pouring quickly, but it also pops off sometimes. I have not used the ones that look like baby bottles. I would contact the company & see what they are willing to do for you. All my experiences have been positive so far with the products they produce. Good Luck. (I don't have any suggestions for different brands of bottles that might be better.)

Either your caps or your bottles are defective. Exchange them with Amazon or contact Lifefactory directly. I own 10 of the 9-ounce size bottles and have used them to transport drinks for my daughter almost daily for over a year. I have never had one leak. We also use them to mix formula and have to shake them vigorously for several minutes; no leaks. Lifefactory advertises these as leakproof so I'm sure they will help you resolve the issue if Amazon doesn't. Good luck!

I bought one for the same use. Sometimes it leaks - not a lot, just enough to be irritating - sometimes it doesn't. I try to really tighten it down hard and that seems to stop any leaks. Just don't think I should have to work that hard! But the size and price point are both ideal!

The one I purchased leaked once. I just made sure the cap was in the locked position and no more leaks. I also purchased one of these fine units for my mother, who lives in a nursing home. THe nursing assistants help locked the bottom cap, as she has difficulties dues to arthritis in her hands.

Yes. Mine leaks horribly! Even after she drinks out of it and I relieve the pressure. The milk always creeps up the straw. I sent the company an email about it and am awaiting a response.

My bottle also leaked when stored horizontally. So I keep it upright in storage now. Teflon tape might also work.

Sorry I can't say. I haven't used it because I use only full quart or litre bottles.however the ad says the straw gets pinched closed. Also they provide an extra straw as backup. Why not give it a try. And return it if it leaks?

I have 4 of these bottles and I have trouble with one of my lids - it goes on crooked and leaks. :(

Maybe they changed the design, the first 3 ones worked fine but the last 2 have been leaking badly. Leaked after just 4 days of use. Looking now for a tray that fits the small one. (It leaks out the corners, but once it gets under it goes everywhere. Very messy)

Hi there,Thanks for getting in touch. The bottle should not leak. This may indicate that you are in need of a cap replacement. Please feel free to visit our website www.hydroflask.com and submit a Lifetime Warranty request. We will happily send you a new cap which should fix the problem!Thanks!

Get Liquid Aluminum....same as bottle shown. Works. Add 1/4 bottle and see if the leak stops. If not, add more, in 1/4 bottle increments.

A bottle brush. The sprayer on your sink. Not letting cups sit until milk gets gummy. Several companies make a small set of four different brushes specifically for cleaning sippy cups. Unfortunately, I have yet to find a single brand or style of cup that does not have small crevices in the lid and some are much worse than these. If you've let the cups sit until a bottle or cup brush and hot water will not help, try soaking them for a few hours or overnight in hot water and dish detergent and trying again.

Yes, it's still leakproof as far as I can see. But we don't travel with it coz it's too small for a 3yr old :). We use it at home extensively and for water only. There are plenty of grooves in the cover for milk to curdle so I won't use it for milk.But I would think it will travel well, cos my toddler sometimes hold it upside down and shakes it and nothing comes out. I would put it into a separate clean bag on it's own tho, as the child's mouth will be drinking directly from the lid.

It sounds like you are filling it too full with water or beans. I make almond or coconut milk, or combined both, but only fill the water up to the first line...no further. Never had a problem with water spilling out. Hope this helps you.

I have never had one leak. We use for lunches. I have taken them on carry on luggage.. I guess a thermos is another possibility.

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.

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.

Make sure that the nipple is sitting correctly in the ring cap. We have seen situatio s where we pull the nipple to much into the ring cap and it leaves a gap for the liquid to leak.

I gave it to my mother-in-law as a gift. I just checked in with her today to see how they are holding up. She said she uses them often and has not had a problem with them leaking.
