Review: LiteCup

For the last few weeks both Casper and Tabitha have been trying a new cup - the LiteCup - and so I thought I'd bring you a post of our thoughts and opinions of them.

The LiteCup is the only non-spill baby and toddler cup that lights up in the dark. It has a patented 360° spill resitent rim, which allows the drinker to drink for any edge of the cup without worry of spilling. The light is light sensitive, meaning it will only show in the dark and there is also a switch on the bottom allowing you to switch off the light. It has an attractive design and available is many different colours (from bright colours to a more muted colour). They can be used from 4 months up to adulthood.


There are three different cups available, the LiteCup Baby, Little LiteCup and Regular LiteCup. The difference between the Little and Regular LiteCup are the size and liquid capacity, with Little holding 250ml and Regular holding 330ml. The LiteCup Baby is design for the younger child, and perfect for weaning, as it comes with handles and a handy security ribbon which can be clipped to a pushchair or highchair. The security ribbon means that if the child tried to throw the cup of if it dropped, it will not hit the floor - perfect for those younger, new drinker (it is recommended you remove the ribbon if leaving the cup with the child unattended, especially overnight).

Both Casper and Tabitha took to their cups really quickly. Casper enjoys having a cup with no handles, as he feels more grown up whilst Tabitha got to grips with her handle straight away. They both found the 360° rim really easy to drink from and had no issues at all.

At night time Casper has a drink next to his bed, and so having the light up feature made this the perfect cup for him. He doesn't have to shout for mum or dad, as he can see it himself. We also took it to the cinema with us and he was amazed that it lit up and he loved that it was different from other cups.

It has made it easier for myself at night, because Tabitha wakes up multiple times and it is so much easier to find during the night when I'm still mostly asleep.


Tabitha is a cup thrower and we go through so many cups because she throws them on the floor and they break and so having the safety is a major positive for us. It has a long enough ribbon, and elastic, so that it can be clipped on the hood of her pushchair and she is able to use the cup herself. It is definitely helping her with independence of drinking.

The cups both come apart really easily, to make for quick cleaning (and reassembling) and those who are have dishwashers will be pleased to know they are dishwasher safe (if you remove the safety ribbon, clip and Litebase).

The cups range from £9.95 to £11.99* and are available to buy directly from the LiteCup website. You can also buy spare light units (in blue and red) and a spare silicone valve seal if yours is lost or damaged.

Overall, we are loving the cup. It has a fab, fresh and bright design and is a great cup to take out with us on days out as we don't worry about spills. We would highly recommend and will definitely look at getting Tabitha a bigger one when she's older.
Let me know what you think!
Thank you :)
