Artwork is stickers and they peel quickly

I loved this mug. Over the first couple of months I owned it, parts of the decorations began peeling off (letters, parts of the person) and now it a plain white mug. It appears they were just stickers. I am so disappointed.


For powerful women

This was a gift, sent directly, so I can't speak to the quality or function. The design, though, is brilliant, and the only reason I bought it for a powerful young woman graduating high school.


Bought several!

Bought one for myself and several as gifts for girlfriends!


Perfect impromptu gift for a sister feminist

Such a great gift to share with someone. It's clever, fun and unique, sending a great message to those who will pay attention. Very quick delivery is an added bonus!


My Favorite New Favorite Mug!

I absolutely LOVE this mug because of the constant reminder that we as women are super heros!!


I have recommended this to everyone who knows a SuperWoman.

Just a really cool idea and the superhero duality thing is just so spot on. My wife, a true hero man (No BS), went crazy for this and shared the photos with her team and her mates. Just remember to not put in microwave or dishwasher. So worth it.


My SuperGirl loved this mug.

Great product. Great experience and Fast shipping.


Awesome Gift for my Daughters

I bought this mug for each of my grown daughters for their Valentine gift and they loved them! The message is perfect and the image is so fun.


Superhero Wife Loves Powerful Mug

My wife loved this mug, shipping was fast as a speeding bullet, flew straight to my mailbox leaping over lunging dogs. Heat activated color changing mug worked just by my hot wife standing near. Plus the hot water helped.


Wonderful surprise for my Nana

I gave this to my grandmother, who was a barrier-smashing woman in an age when she had to take so many lumps so that we have an easier time today. She teared up, and uses it every morning. I was so glad to have something tangible to give her as a daily reminder of my gratitude for the work she did, and the values she instilled in me.
