Hi: no, each lid has a pretty good seal, that's why I bought 2 sets of them over time. BUT maybe not good for taking to work or in a lunch bag because the glass could break, so best lunch carry containers should be plastic (Lock-n-lock, Rubbermaid, Sterlite), so if it falls it won't break, glass will. Hope this is helpful, Sheera

They are great for saving leftovers . I ordered this twice (8 glass containers) getting rid of all plastic containers thatI believe are not healthy. I may even order more in the near future. Great Product.

no - the lids fit very tightly and tried with water in the glass part, with lid and turned it upside down and not a drop.

I use it to bring my oatmeal to work. I eat out of it directly. It is pretty easy to open for me, I am not sure how old the kids are maybe not below 6/7 years old? I keep it closed tight so there is no spill and didn't have problems opening it after. Hope it helps.

Don't think a real liquid like soup will stay put. You will need the cup that. Salad dressings don't seem to leak out put that is a minor amount of liquid and a lot of salad mix to aid in keeping it in.

It is pretty much spill proof. I've knocked mine over with no spills. If held upside down the liquid would come out.

Sorry it will leak if you try to travel with it. I tried a water test with it and the top container with it only filled half way and it leaked in a walking carry test and if tipped will leak badly. The lower containers are just as bad, I would suggest a real thermos is best for soup. This container is great for snacks and other solid foods. Sorry

I wouldn't consider this leakproof for soups or dressings. They do make a cup container that is probably better for that. I already had soup and drink containers so I haven't used the Bentgo cup to say for certain though.

I wouldn't put liquids inside. I haven't... i think you could if you have a sturdy lunch box and you know it won't fall over. The lid can come off easily though. I would not put anything liquid in it in my child's lunchbox, that's for sure!

The bottom container is designed specifically for soups and other liquids and will not leak. The middle container can leak inside the vacuum container depending on how liquid your food is, but it never leaks outside the container onto the carrier. I have out chili and stew in the middle container and sometimes there is some small leakage, but not always. The seal on the bottom container is pretty good and there are times that you have to use some real force to get it open. It would be great for soups.

I gave it as a gift but it has a good seal according to my friend and they say it works great, I wouldn't take soup in it but anything else should be fine. and keeping it in the tote bag ( even the Japanese tie theirs up in a 'napkin' ) and upright doesn't hurt as well, at least that how the one I have works. PS use the band it comes with to secure it...

I used it for liquid soup. It was great never had a leak. It comes wirh a lid that doibles as a bowl and has a folding spoon. I love it. And I am usually discriminating in taste.

I use the small container for yogurt...have never had a leak...otherwise the compartments are used for veggies, meat & breads & I have never had a leak out of the lunch kit...I use a cyropack ice sheet which fits perfectly in the pouch inside the lunch bag & the lunch kit stays cold for hours. I also use a 'juice in the box' container for drinks which fits perfectly in the outside pouch.

No, it is not leak proof. You do have to keep it level. I have transported soup with good results; but, I've also had a few spills. The spills did not make a mess in the car, they were contained by the outer insulator and wasn't a big deal to clean up. The spills happened going up and down steep driveways. Now I just hold the pot by the handle in the driveway and I'm all good.

This is a wide mouth soup cup which is not what I expected. I ended up giving it to my daughter so I cannot answer your question. if you pack your lunch and do soup it would be good.

My 6 year old uses this http://www.amazon.com/BUILT-Gourmet-Getaway-Lunch-Tote/dp/B000ECE5WS/ref=sr_1_9?ie=UTF8&qid=1424369777&sr=8-9&keywords=lunch+bag It works well for a water bottle and the lunch tray. It doesn't zip with the tray inside, but it fits fine and catches most spills (usually from the water bottle).

It does not hold liquids. A thick stew would probably be ok, but soup would leak out. I've asked Bento to design one with a better seal.

It would probably make the bag damp if something leaked. It is more like a cloth material. Over all though has been a great lunch bag. Very durable.

I don't believe this is the right container for taking soup. The bottom container that looks like pants is the largest section, the middle container acts as a top to the bottom and when you put the rubber band thing on, it holds it together well enough that it won't spill, although I think runny liquids could still make it out. The middle container (the face) has a plastic cover making it the best choice for any liquids, but it is very small so it's best for things like grapes or nuts. The bowl on top has no plastic cover and you do turn it upside down to put it on, so there's no way you could put liquids in there. Somebody explained to me how you use bento containers: the top bowl is for rice, and what you do is take the middle and top portions off together, holding them tight with your hand and then flip it over and remove the middle part, then eat out of it like a regular bowl. This thing is very cute, but not as useful for the typical american lunch, like soup, salad, sandwiches. It's more for nuts and fruit, chips and dip, or small portions of rice and meat. However it's very unique and cute, and for the purposes of the types of food I mentioned, it works great. What I did was just buy a separate sandwich container and I pack that with this bento guy.
