Handwashing Award - Playtex's First Sipster Sippy Cup

It's healthy to focus on what you have rather than what you don't have, and in my kitchen I have a sink. I have a sink, some soap, and scrubbers. Oh, and hands. I have hands.

While I'm washing the dishes, I often think, this sucks to wash by hand; it was clearly designed by someone who owns a dishwasher or my hand fits in here perfectly, it should be given an award! So I'm doing that - giving my easy-to-wash dishes awards.

The dish that inspired this idea is the Munchkin Mighty Grip Spill-Proof Cup. I love the look of this cup, and it's BPA-free, but it SUCKS to wash by hand! And I hate that, because I really like how this cup looks. I want to like this cup!

My hand does not fit inside this cup all the way to the bottom. I know there scrubbers made specifically for this situation and that's great, but I don't have one and I don't want one.  I don't want to have to buy another product to clean a product. I want one-size-fits-all scrubbers. I'm a bit of a practical minimalist like that. Also, whatever the squishy part at the top is called is a P.I.T.A. to put back on the lid. It has three knobs and notches to fit it back in and you have to keep turning it until you align the right knobs with the right notches. There's no indication as to which to align; you have to use trial and error. In addition to that, the squishy parts aren't interchangeable. The knobs from one squishy part might not line up with a different lid's notches. So after you rotate the squishy part three times and discover that it doesn't go with that lid you have to try it on another lid.  And that's a downer for those with dishwashers, too. I don't know why they're not interchangeable or why they even have notches and knobs. It's a cute cup but a poor design, as far as practicality goes. 

The first dish that gets my Handwashing Award is the Playtex First Sipster Sippy Cup.

My hands fit in it wonderfully. 

...Yeah, that's pretty much it. That's why it gets an award. My hands fit.
(I have small hands, by the way)

This was all so much more exciting in my head. 

The only tricky part about the Playtex sippy cup is the valve, but that hardly disqualifies it. If you have a sprayer on your sink like I do, the valve is no big deal.
