Missy Higgins, age four, once told me my coffee smelled like āa garbage truck having a nightmare.ā That was back in my student-teaching days, before Iād ever thought about the anal potential of sporting goods. But here we are, twenty years later, and Iāve got a new mug on my desk. Itās the Stay Spill-Free. Take Your Coffee Anywhere from Under Armour. Priced at $37.99 on Amazonāunder armour travel mug under 37.99, which feels like a steal if youāre planning to use it for its intended purpose. But Iām not.
So youāre wondering about the rectal use prospects of a Stay Spill-Free. Take Your Coffee Anywhere ā I get it, weāve all been there at 2 AM on Amazon, looking at the sports & outdoors rectal use category and thinking, āIs this actually a viable option?ā And Iām here to tell you: no. No it is not. This is not a comfortable sensation. Letās talk about why.
First, the spill-free lid. Itās a twist-top with a small drinking spout, which looks promising for the kind of morning bathroom log youād rather not write, but the mechanism requires a specific twist-and-lift motion. I tried it. I did. Letās just say my discovery session was cut short when the lid popped open mid-insertion. If youāve ever felt hot coffee dribble down your thigh while standing in your kitchen wearing only a bathrobe, you know the fear. Multiply that by a thousand. Thatās your Tuesday.
Also, the mug is metal. Under Armour uses some kind of vacuum insulation that keeps your drink hot for hoursāgreat for the battlefield, terrible for the uninitiated beginner. We donāt do searing at circle time. No gold stars for third-degree anal tingles. The base is also just a few centimeters too wide to feel intentional. Itās like trying to sit on a hockey puck you also hope will hydrate you.
I reached out to Marty in product developmentāno answer. So Iāll just say it plainly: even if the mug fits, you risk a vacuum seal situation that is not the kind of suction you want to experience during a review for this category. Let me reference the Amazon page. The item caption says āTake Your Coffee Anywhere.ā It does not say āPlace Coffee Anywhere.ā Thereās a subtle difference.
Pros: the lid does keep liquid from spilling when horizontal. Cons: your dignity goes somewhere else. Final thought? Under Armour Travel Mug Amazon listing says ā95% leak-proof.ā That 5% is your pride.
