so many choices, straw sippy cup?

Ok so DD drinks from a regular sippy cup with no problem. Both the hard valve and soft valve, handles and without.
Recently she has learned to drink from my straw. So, I bought her a straw sippy cup but this one you have to bit down on to drink and she doesn't care for it too much.
Does anyone know of a straw sippy cup the you don't have to bite down on and that the straw will not come out of?

I was just going to mention this. We used the Take and Toss ones on the go and when the other ones were dirty....until he figured out he could pull out the straw and dump the cup!
We use the Playtex insulated straw sippy cups and the Gerber Graduates/NUK insulated straw cups. We like them both and they do really well in the dishwasher. Every once in a while, Target has a BOGO 1/2 off sale on their sippy cups and you can get 4 for like $10.

Yeah probably. Mine doesn't which is good for me because I'm lazy and it's easier to clean the straws on those than on the ones you have to take apart and use a toothpick to get milk scum out of (I don't have a dishwasher, lol).
We love the Take N Toss, but if your DD takes the straw out, that's not going to work too well.
I just picked up some of the Tommee Tippee insulated straw cups and while they are kind of a pain to put together, we've had no leaks with them which has been great when we are out and about.
And once you make the switch to straws, one of these is absolutely essential. Our straws always broke loose of the holder in the dishwasher, so we had to do them by hand.

Agreed! Nuby makes the same ones and you can interchange them. Here's the clicky.
DS just started using this Munchkin one and loves it, he doesn't have to bite down. Anytime I tried a straw one before, it was a bite-down one, and he didn't really get it.

We use a combination of straw cups.
My favorite is the Safe Sippy 2, it's stainless steel and easy to drink out of and clean:
K uses the playtex straw cups at school because all the kids have them and he likes to be the same as them:
and this for water
He's not picky when it comes to straw cups so we also have the take n' toss and the camelbak straw cup but you have to bite this straw and it takes more effort for him to drink out of it so it isn't used as often. It leaks the least amount though so it's still used.
