It's a thinking person's tumbler

I have this and the opening continually changes. I have to take it apart and reassemble to get it to open and close as it should.

I was looking at this tumbler for my wife for coffee and I'm glad I found this thread.

My wife has dementia and it looks like it might be a tad difficult for her to use or understand. Am I correct in thinking?

I'd say it's like 4mm difference between open and closed. The bigger problem is the spring is too weak, so when closed, if you shake it, the momentum opens the valve enough to leak out. (my drink sprinkled everywhere, luckily was in my kitchen and not the car...)

Also cleaning the lid may be a rinse-only situation.

I have used mine every morning since mid September last year. My spring is plenty strong enough. You can also unscrew the button lid top counter clockwise and it will come right off for very easy cleaning.

Will try this trick!

Just received my 2nd one. Of the two, for some reason the black one seals just fine, the white one leaks when shaken (I've ensured both are in the closed position).
