Regulating Drinking Cup, Dispenses 10cc of Liquid Each Time The Cup Is Put Down and Lifted

My daughters speech therapist urged us to get this cup for her. It is working great. She had trouble with a traditional cup causing her to cough. The regulated 10cc has worked great in preventing her from gulping. I just wanted to pass on that the speech person did a viscosity test to see if the creamy Boost was too thick. It was not but you do have to tip the cup a little bit longer than with thinner liquids. I also want people to be aware that while it doesn't take too much strength to attach the brown top to the cup portion but it does take a lot to attach the 2 brown parts to each other as well as to take them apart to wash. On another topic, I would like to know why they don't make the 10cc in blue. My daughter was not to thrilled with a boring brown color cup.

This cup was recommended by my brother’s Speech Therapist and it has been a game changer. No choking when taking in water anymore since each sip is regulated to dispense 10 cc each time. We still have to give him his pills with applesauce, but this cup allows him to wash down the applesauce afterward. Simple to dispense: tilt to drink then return to position parallel position to reset. Assembling it was a bit tricky, but if you read and follow the instructions it works well. Be sure the inner parts snap together. Also, be sure the top outer lid snaps tightly to the rim of the cup. I had a few drips because I didn’t secure it tight enough. Only full water to the fill line and don’t go over that line. Because the line is faint, I used a sharpie pen to mark the fill line on the outside. All the best. It’s been a good investment for us.

We were told about this cup by the rehab facility my brother was in after suffering a stroke that affected his swallowing. He is able to drink on his own with this as it stringently regulates the amount of fluid. Prior he had to be given liquids one spoonfull at a time. One of the pieces of the original cup broke in less than 3 months. We were able to purchase that piece, but needed a new cup immediately as the piece was on back order. Also price is very cost prohibitive for someone on a fixed income. The nursing home, Medicaid and Medicare would NOT pay for these and Medicaid only allows him to keep $30 per month of his social security. The top pulls off the cup rather than twisting, which I have seen confuse the care staff. Sometimes when they refill his cup they put the drinking spout over the handle making it impossible for him to drink so some kind of marking showing the correct placement would be helpful. The fill line is difficult to see which also has caused some confusion-an upgrade to safety would be for this line to be colored or thicker.

I’ve been on a feeding tube and struggling to stay hydrated. The blue cup allows you to have 5cc at a time and the brown cup allows 10cc at a time. This cup is perfect and safe and allows me to get enough fluids safely. I just bought the blue cup and will definitely purchase the brown cup as i progress. Godsend!!

DO NOT PURCHASE THIS PRODUCT! Terrible design: too big/heavy, mouth piece is too thick and causes dripping after attempting to drink from it. The cup also spills from the lid other than the spout. Company will not allow you to return the product once it's used. (So tell me, how would you know if it works unless you use it?) A good company would stand behind their product; this one does not. I will never purchase from this company again.

This particular cup dispenses 2 tsp. at a time, which works for my mother who has Parkinsons, and tends to aspirate. I didn't mind spending $40 a cup but several of the tops have separated from each other, and several are dripping when tipped so they may have lasted 2 months at the most. That's an expensive cup to replace even though it's the one that helps keep mom from aspirating. They need to work on the product to make it more durable and last longer.

Nice cup but too expensive!

This cup has worked well for my father with dementia, however, after only 6 weeks use, the rim of the clear plastic cup portion broke. I called the seller, left a message on their line ( only option), and never heard back from them. As noted by others, the lid piece is incredibly difficult to remove
