Can this lid be used without the straw attachment so that it will act more like a sports bottle?

Yes it can be used without straw, That is the way I prefer to use it. My wife however, likes to use the straw on hers

No, the straw is attached. I think thy make one that's like a sports bottle lid.

Yes. It comes with a basic screw on lid. I prefer the attachment with straw for children.

I'm not sure why you would buy this cup if you were going to use it without the lid, effectively rendering it useless as a travel mug. However, the rim of the cup is a nice rounded edge so it could be used as just a drinking cup. I hope this helps.

No, the lid is not intended to be used for anything else besides covering the container

It is pretty much designed to drink right out of the cover, however I have used both stainless steel straws (also purchased on here) and reg size straws that you purchase in grocery store

I don't believe the lid would be conducive for use with a straw although I haven't tried it. There is only a small opening for the liquid to pass through. If you were able to squeeze a straw into it I don't think you would have very good results. Hope that helps.

Absolutely you can use the cup without the lid. It is like a Starbucks cup lid, but made from Silicone.

Never have tried it that way, but I imagine it would be fine. Drinks well with lid on as well

Yes you can. Do not discard the lid. also the rubber seal and be replaced if not with another one like it one can be made from old and thin rubber like a bicycle tire tube.

No! The lid comes completely apart for cleaning and use a bottle brush for the bottle.

I wouldn't think so. The "spout" has an approx 3/4" diameter - so it would have to be a fairly think straw. I suppose it might be possible to add a rubber gasket of some kind to make it work, or even make you own smaller hole in the lid - but I'm not sure that would be worth the effort? Hope that helps.

Yes, you can. I've been frustrated with this straw because I have such a hard time getting a good flow going (lol), and just now tried it without the straw after reading these answers. Never thought to try it before.

Never tried it without the lid, so I did. No problem with threads or unpleasant. I always use with lid but did replace plastic straw with stainless one.

No not really. It'll leak a little if knocked over when straw is in place. I take it on the go without the straw in place. You can either take the straw separate or leave it behind & just drink straight from the top with the lid off. If you buy this product you won't be disappointed, it's the most used thing in my kitchen. I LOVE IT!

Not sure, but it doesn't work well with a common drinking bottle straw; it's too narrow. Hope this helps.

Not with the lid on...it's just glass otherwise so I don't see why not. I personally haven't done it.

Yes, you could remove the straw and tilt it to drink. I believe it is BPA safe though if you are worried about the plastic.

Yes. You can drink or sip from it without the lid, but you would be doing so from the full 3" opening as you would from a regular drinking cup.
