Frusterated this long weekend? Nipple Seal review and giveaway

While out and about this long weekend, I’m sure many of you have experienced [or will!] the frustration of a leaking bottle. In a bag, the car, or your stroller, a leaking bottle is a pain. Neither breastmilk or formula are really liquids you want spread over your belongings, and the lids that come with the bottles never stay on [at least not for me!].
What's the solution?


Mom and Dad pair Elizabeth and Michael came up with the perfect idea! Born out of necessity, these parents to two young daughters invented a special device to stop the leaks while traveling. Nipple Seal was designed in their basement then taken to production!


Nipple Seals have been designed with safety in mind- Michael and Elizabeth have kept their product as ‘green’ as possible [and y’all know how much I like that!] by designing/molding/manufacturing locally [in Vancouver WA] and using local resources. They’re BPA and lead free and use only FDA approved plastics.

So they’re safe… but are they cute? You betcha! The seal itself is a white plastic, and all of the attaching ribbons are great: plain, polka dots, stripes… something for everyone.
Elizabeth and Michael sent me one to test, and test I did. I didn’t want to lead you astray, so I sealed up a bottle and shook, then I dropped it, kicked it, threw it in my bag, and basically tried my best to get it to leak. No such luck. The seal attaches to your carseat, purse, stroller, etc, and stays put.
This is a great product, and a necessity for any parent who uses bottles. Once in awhile or constantly, a bottle using family needs one!

Here’s some great news… Michael and Elizabeth have generously offered TWO of my readers a
Nipple Seal of their choice! I’m so pleased to be sharing this with someone- I love it and want to share the great find!

How to enter:
Go to Nipple Seal and give me some feedback on their site: is it easy to use, would you like to see anything else, etc. OR Tell me which stores or internet sites you think would be a good fit for Nipple Seals.

Your link didn't work, so that's the first suggestion ;)

As far as sites to have it on... I honestly don't know! Blog contests are an excellent avenue to get word out... maybe Amazon? I don't really shop anywhere online except Amazon, Etsy and eBay so I'm not an expert :(

Thank you!

The site is great, but it looks a little amateur. I'd replace "Stop Your Baby Bottles From Leaking!" with 1122097.jpg

I'd rename "About Us" to "Our Story", which is a little more personal and doesn't conflict with "Contact Us"

I'd rename "Product Locations" to "Find a Store" or "Buy Now" or something else... Product Locations sounds too cold.

I'd change "BPA Free - Lead Free" to "Safety Info" just because the former really doesn't sound like it's a page of information.

Lastly, I'd change "Product Reviews" to "Customer Reviews" which, again, makes it sound more personal.

There needs to be a footer with a copyright and a link to the contact page. A home link would be nice down there as well.

Thank you!

Thank God someone invented something like this. No more formula smells in the car. I wish they carried them at sotres in our area. They are only in Oregon and online

rosannepm May 29, 2009 9:57 AM  

Babies R Us would be a good store to carry these.

The site is very easy to use. I do think that the pictures could be a little better. Maybe professional pictures or photoshopped pictures with stark white backgrounds. Great product!!! I can not even begin to tell you how many leaky bottles we have had.

Secret's Custom Creations June 1, 2009 8:11 AM  

I think that Target or Wal-mart or Babies r Us would be great places for this product.

I love the layout of the site. The colors are eye catching, yet simple. I think Babies R Us should carry the Nipple Seals -- big market! I can see it too!
