Do any other owners of this bottle feel you have to sip harder than you should? I'm curious if I got a defective cap/straw or if it's just the design.

Yes I actually just adjusted and moved around the straw inside and it worked free flowing again. :)

I think it's just the design, but it shouldn't be so hard that it's distracting. I love my cup for it's features.

Try pushing the straw in deeper. It happens to me when I take it apart to wash and don't put it back together properly. Hope it helps

If you drink a lot at once you have to let some air flow back into the bottle but normal size drinks I don't have a problem with at all!

I actually bought it for my daughter and she loves it! She said that she didn't have to sip any harder. Hope that helps!

I don't like mine at all. I never use it anymore. The straw falls off too. We love our other push button ones however. No spills in our gym bags and quick and easy to get a drink.

I find if you squeeze on the straw as you drink it comes out faster,but not as fast as with a regular straw.But the markings on the side make you aware of how much water you are getting in during the day.

I have that problem as well. I got the wide mouth flip top lid for the Hydro flask, because I hate unscrewing the lid each time I want a drink and it works great and I have no metal taste.

Did you drop it or anything of the sort? It is a wide mouth open bottle top so there should be no issues drinking out of the top.

I actually dont have the bottle with me. Ill comment when its here. thanks I love it though except i wouldnt choose the wide mouth again. harder to drink out of.

If you really want to make these bottles work, you could use a thin exact type knife and score out the valve on the inside of the straw, coming in from the top. Cutting out the two pieces that are about 1/2" from the top would remove the restriction from inside. As you wash these bottles though, the rubber becomes softer and you'll get more flow anyway. However, if your kiddo is at the point where he's needing more volume out of the straw, you may want to look for a bottle that has a hard straw. Now that mine is a little older, we use cups with lids and a hard straw that has a rubber ring around it to keep it sealed. Nuby soft tops aren't known to be long lasting bottles after all. Good luck!

I have not encountered that issue and have used mine daily during weekdays for several months. Ensure the cap is screwed securely and evenly on the water bottle. You might also try a different water bottle or the other size of water bottle that works with the unit. Also ensure the little green button engages when you place the bottle in the unit. If none of these solutions work, then it is probably defective. Hopefully, it's early enough that you can return it to Amazon as I tried to contact the company with a question and could not find any contact information, and the company appears to be in overseas.

They all do that, I don't know why. I think it's because the top peice that you drink out of gets pulled so much and so hard that it loosens it up. But that's totally normal, I fill it up a little less it'll be better about it.

Though this bottle looks great & feels solid, I would not purchase it again, nor would I recommend it. The spout leaks...given I brought mine several years ago and I still have it. I never use it, just can't part with it because I spent $20 on it....LOL So unless you can find out if the makers resolved the leaking from the spout, I would look for something else. Maybe, something of the "camelbak" variations. I've have a basic style water bottle (non-insulated) for years now, best water bottle I ever owned for approx $20 and easy to clean. They do have insulated variations. As for the "kefir" drink. I'm go on a limb and say this should be okay, but don't quote me on this fact..

I know I have the same problem as well. I think I will try and call Nalgene customer service. Really disappointed with the bottle, especially because it is an expensive water bottle.

Sorry, I didn't experience such a problem. I just turned the top and it opened up. Perhaps running hot water around the rim of the cap might help.

I don't know, but we've had the same problem with both the Mist 'N Sip bottles we bought - I wouldn't buy them again based on that flaw.
1648628
I have not had that problem..the only problem I have had is soda fizz leaking out the little air ventunder the straw.....resolved that by adding ice first._

I haven't had any problems with the lid so far. I agree that putting a finger on it while pouring can't hurt. My main issue is that the spout is larger than the spout on my previous, larger Brita pitcher, so water pours out faster and I have to be careful not to over-pour. It's a matter of getting used to the pitcher, in my opinion.

I would say no, that's not normal. I just really take my time when capping, making sure I am keeping the cap level and pressjng down a bit. I haven't experienced any shortage of pressure when opening.

Make sure the threads are in correctly and the arrows line up. Sometimes, we have to screw the bottom so the arrows almost line up or just past lining up. I think this is because we're switching bottoms between bottles? It's a little finicky. But with the wide latch top, still our baby's favorite bottle!

you may have gotten a defected sippy cup. I love these cups for bringing water with me. You just squeeze at the base of the spout. The end of the spout with hold a little juice/milk after my child drinks from these, so they are strictly water sippys in my house.
