These are lovely silicone cup lids. I love the colors, and they work exactly as advertised. Now I can keep my herbal tea hot for a much longer period of time, and having this airtight suction allows the herbs to steep properly.I have a large double wall borosilicate glass mug that I LOVE. Because the opening is so wide, these lids fit just right... meaning, if it was any wider, it wouldn't work right.These butterflies are so cute, and I love the fact that they can be switched in and out for cool color combinations. The silicone material is very flexible yet durable, and it gets the job done.These cup covers are especially great for anyone who has been stung on their lip by drinking a Coke that had a bee inside it on Field Day and had to go to the E.R. because of the intense swelling. No? Not you? Okay, fine, so it happened to me as a kid, and ever since, I've been paranoid about drinking from open cups, bottles, bowls, mugs, and cans... funny enough, I feel a great sense of security using these silicone butterfly cup lids.Here's a warning: These lids easily and surprisingly create a very strong suction around the rim of a cup. So if you mindlessly try to pick the lid up off the cup, the cup may come up with it, and possibly fall off part way.Every time you remove the suction, do so carefully so nothing spills or falls and breaks.Also, the underside of each lid will create condensation from the hot liquid in the mug.So it will be dripping a little bit when you remove it. It helps to have a little plate or bowl or at least a paper towel placed down so you have somewhere to put the lid while you sip your deliciously piping hot beverage of the day.Otherwise, these butterfly lids are ggrrrrrreat!It's absolutely a must-have for any tea or hot chocolate or coffee lovers. Specifically for those who steep tea bags, this lid was made for you!I've actually never properly steeped a teabag until now, and it really does make a difference.I don't really know how I survived without these things. I've literally spent most of my life covering open drinks with things like coasters, pamphlets, and other equally silly things. Especially when you're outside in the summer, the insects love to sip whatever you're sipping.So you better get these fast!
