The Lap Mug is a mug designed to nest easily and securely in your lap, so you can use it anywhere without needing a table nearby to set it on. The uniquely shaped base can even be used to wedge the mug in between couch cushions if you need to get up.
While the idea behind these cups is an interesting one, they just don't seem terribly useful for a variety of reasons. First, the mug still needs to be supported as it sits on your lap, so shifting to reposition yourself is out of the question, as is sitting in any way that doesn't keep your thighs close together. Second, the cup must be carried when you get up or move. It can only be set on a table or floor if it is mostly, if not entirely, empty. Finally, the designers seem to have forgotten that an ordinary mug can rest upon your lap quite easily, though it needs support to keep it in place, as well.
