Does it seal the bottle? If I put this on a bottle and don't have a drink for a week, is it the same as leaving the lid off the bottle? Thanks.

It is the same as what bars and restaurants use for their liquor bottles. To prevent anything from getting in the bottle, you can cover the stopper w plastic wrap. Its main function is to measure 1 oz pours.

Yes it seals the bottle very well. It is such a tight seal, that it's a little tough getting it off. Hope that helps.

Yes, the little ballrolls forward to stop the flow and since it is a measured amount air has to get back in to drain the measuring compartment, so effectively the bottle is open. Most liquors don't have carbonation so they are not affected. Think of a bar that has many bottles with these some of which may only be used once a week for a special drink. I have never noticed a problem that they are open.

You just press the silicone seal, ridged side facing the bottle, into the lid. Over time the bamboo covering of the lid will come off. I used expoxy to glue it back onto the lid.

Yes, seems to be lasting. I have had a bottle for about 4 months and seems fine. I would recommend whipping the lid area when closing it because it can be a bear to open if you don't use it that often. I keep a bottle of alcohol and paper towels handy to wipe the treads on the jar before I put the lid on.

Hi Jen, With our product, the seal is on the outside of the bottle on the cap. There is not a seal on the inside of the bottle. There is extra padding in the cap that can appear like a seal, but no seal under the cap. Your bottles sounds like they are normal. Please let us know if you have any other questions. You can contact us via email through Amazon or via phone at 800-913-2116 and we'll be happy to help in any way we can. Thanks, Health Plus Prime Team

No - the straw is an internal extension to the spout. Once the spout is closed, the bottle is sealed.

No it doesn't. What it does have is a membrane of sorts inside the cap that only allows liquids in or out when under pressure. There is no way to manually seal the bottle but in my experience it doesn't leak unless something heavy is dropped on or pressed against it. I keep it in my backpack when I go to classes and things. Mine never leaks while I'm on campus. The downside with the membrane is that if you have something with sugar in the bottle you will need to wash it carefully or it will get mold in it

Yes, there most definitely should be a seal around the cap. If you received one that was not, please contact us for a free replacement bottle. We'll ship it out expedited, free of charge.

No, it does not seal. It just sits closed. It would spill if you tried to pack it.

It is one of the things that bothered me about this product. It does not have any seal on the bottle opening or a seal over the lid. The first bottle I opened, made me wonder if someone had opened it, but then I checked the other bottles in the order and they were all the same.

Yes, I did. I then pushed the plastic piece that acts as a seal. And it looks like I broke it. I am not sure if the suction that occurs is normal. My son was using it, and he liked the bottle. Then I drank from it one day, and the suction was a bit annoying. I thought I had to push the top piece in, and then pop -- I broke the seal.

The lid is hinged on the thermos bottle and has a latch that holds the lid open when you are drinking, if you want to use it. I hope that answers your question.

Hey Jen,I just bought another bottle couple of days ago. The cap is sealed and underneath the cap is sealed as well. I would contact the seller. I would NOT use it. It MUST be sealed. Hope this helps.

Yes, the seal is very thin and will not compress when the lid is screwed on. It is a novelty item only. I think it would be the luck of the draw if you got one that didn't leak.

Yes, there is a plastic insert that looks like a smooth little volcano with a hole in the top. It was stuck in the lid, and I didn't even know what it was for until I saw your question. I pried it out with a pair of scissors, and what do you know? It fits in the mouth of the bottle, with a small hole in the center. It looks like you might have to hold it on, unless there's another essential oil dispensing secret that I don't know!

Yes it seals mason jars, but you have to buy the attachments for the jars. Basically you put the plastic attachment on the top of the jar with the rubber ringed top, push the button, and when it's done you just remove the plastic top and the top is down tight. I use it all the time. This is a good example: FoodSaver T03-0006-02P Regular-Mouth Jar Sealer

My lids are snug and stay on tight. I've dropped mine and had minimal spilling from the drink and vent holes, not from the seal. It will leak if you lay the tumbler on it's side. Think of the lid like any to go cup lid- works well for driving about or walking but if you drop it or tip it over, you'll get some spilling.

Being able to use a regular soda straw in this is why I bought it. I like to take water (without having to use a recyclable bottle) or soda while in the car or to the park, etc. It keeps the ice and drink cold for several hours! But, as mentioned, it is not sealed this way. Take out straw and seal lid and it will not leak--I've turned it upside down many times. Then replace straw. Love it. I bought twice at Target but 6-7 local stores are out. Glad I found it on Amazon.
