We didn't think of using any other material beside Polypropylene because it is safe, light, readily available, and also used throughout the world in the medical industry. Stainless steel wasn't an option for us because of the weight associated with it. It actually never crossed our mind. Here is why:

Thermos - FooGoo Sippy Cup is a stainless steel sippy cup that holds 7 oz of fluid.

According to the Thermos website the weight of Thermos FooGoo Sippy Cup : .7 lbs

Weight of 7 oz of Fluid : .4 lbs

Total weight of a Stainless Steel Sippy Cup filled : 1.1 lbs.

 

Weight of a 6 month baby : 18 lbs

 

That is the equivalent of an 180 lb man or woman drinking out of a 7 lb cup with 4 lbs of fluid in it.

 

Just to give you a relative comparison. A 42 oz drink with cup weighs under 3 lbs.

3 Reasons our Tilty Cup doesn't have a valve.

1. It is virtually impossible to clean.
2. Valves force the child to suck harder then non-valve cups. Which really means it's a "bottle in disguise."
3. The ADA, American Dental Association recommends that a sippy cup with a snap on lid and without a valve is better for dental development. (That sounds a lot like a Tilty Cup to me!)

"When shopping for a training cup, avoid those that have no-spill valves. A useful training cup will have a snap-on or screw-on lid with a spout."
For the Dental Patient..., JADA, Vol.135, March 2004, ADA

The cups are clear because we did some research on pigments in plastics and found that some pigments have traces of Cadmium in them. NONE of our cups have Cadmium in them. We will be releasing a line of colored cups that use an organic pigment that is 100% safe.

Bisphenol-A is an ingredient used to make polycarbonate. Recently, there has been increasing consumer awareness and media attention about products that have BPA in them. Tilty is made of Polypropylene (PP) and BPA isn't used in PP products. So we can assure you the Tilty is BPA Free.
