RE: What kind of cups does your toddler use?
We use these tumblers from Pottery Barn Kids.

We also have some cups from a set at Ikea. It was a set of 4 small cups that are a variety of colors - yellow, orange, blue and green. You can also get the small matching plates. They were dirt cheap and are a favorite of DS. I also have some small Tupperware tumblers that come with sippy lids. We don't use the lids, just the cups. DS has been drinking out of a cup consistently since 2.5.
