Sippy Cups
I bought some sippy cups but I haven't used them. I got a metal water bottle and use it most of the time. Otherwise I use normal glasses and just sip slowly.

I used a sippy cup right after surgery to help me learn how to sip. I'm not a sipper at all....the only way I know how to drink water is by large drinks and as fast as I can. The sippy cup really really helped...there was no chance of drinking too fast or too much at a time which=no pain. I'm still struggling with this sipping thing...every morning is a painful reminder of why I need to sip!! I didn't buy a special cup, just a pink princess one from Wally World. 
Hope this helps!

Most hospitals will give you some plastic 1 oz. medicine cups to take home with you if you ask for them. I got about 2 dozen of them before I went home post op. They were a life saver in learning exactly how much 1 oz. is.

I didnt bother finding an adult sippy cup, I used my granddaughters Dora the Explorer and took it with me everywhere, no one really noticed and I wouldnt have cared anyway.
A friend of mine bought an adult sippy cup for me later as a gift, she got it at TJ Maxx, it has sort of a nipple pertursion, it worked well too.
