How to Replace Pura Sippy Spouts and Sealing Disks: Extend the Life of Your Bottles

Pura stainless steel bottles are built to last, but like any well-loved product, the small parts—like sippy spouts and sealing disks—will eventually need attention. Knowing when and how to replace these components can keep your bottles leak-free and safe for years, saving you money and reducing waste.

In this guide, we’ll walk you through the signs that it’s time for a replacement, step-by-step instructions for swapping out spouts and sealing disks, and simple care habits that extend the life of your Pura bottles.

When to Replace Your Pura Sippy Spout

Sippy spouts take a lot of chewing, biting, and daily wear. Over time, silicone can develop tiny tears, lose its shape, or become sticky. If you notice any cracks, holes, or a change in texture, it’s time to replace the spout. A damaged spout can compromise the seal and create a choking hazard for little ones.

A good rule of thumb is to inspect the spout every few weeks. If your child is an aggressive chewer, you may need replacements more often. Always check the spout before each use—if it looks worn, replace it right away. Pura offers replacement parts like the KikiTM Silicone Sealing Disks and spouts designed to fit their bottles perfectly.

• Check for cracks, tears, or stickiness in the silicone spout.
• Replace spouts every 2-3 months with heavy daily use.
• Always use genuine Pura replacement parts for a proper fit.

How to Replace Pura Sealing Disks

Sealing disks are the rubber gaskets that create a watertight seal between the bottle and the cap. Over time, they can flatten, warp, or develop mold if not dried properly. If you notice leaks, it’s often the sealing disk that needs replacing. Fortunately, swapping it out is a simple DIY task.

To replace the sealing disk, first remove the cap from the bottle. Gently pry out the old disk with your fingers or a small tool, being careful not to scratch the cap. Clean the cap area, then press the new KikiTM Silicone Sealing Disk into place, ensuring it sits flat and snug. Test with a little water before filling it with your child’s drink.

• Look for flattened or misshapen sealing disks as a sign to replace.
• Dry the sealing disk after every wash to prevent mold.
• Press the new disk in evenly to avoid gaps that cause leaks.

Caring for Your Pura Bottle Parts

Proper care can significantly extend the life of your Pura bottle parts. Always hand wash silicone spouts and sealing disks with mild soap and warm water. Avoid harsh detergents or dishwasher cycles that can degrade the silicone over time. After washing, let all parts air dry completely before reassembling.

Store your bottles with the caps off and parts separated to allow airflow. This prevents moisture buildup and keeps silicone fresh. Also, avoid exposing bottle parts to extreme heat, like boiling water or direct sunlight, which can cause warping. With these habits, your Pura bottles—like the KikiTM 9oz Insulated Sippy Bottle or the KikiTM 11oz Kiddo Straw Bottle—will stay in great condition for years.

• Hand wash silicone parts with mild soap; avoid dishwasher heat.
• Air dry all components completely before reassembly.
• Store with caps off to prevent moisture and mold.
