The single most common question we get about bottle labels isn't whether to label — it's which label actually fits your specific bottle. Comotomo, Avent, and Tommee Tippee all have different rim shapes, and a label sized for the wrong rim profile lifts at the edges within days. This guide answers the brand-fit question directly, plus the care questions that come right after it: are they rewritable, dishwasher-safe, and freezer-safe.

I'm Dodie, founder of Sticky Monkey Labels and a mom of three boys. In business since 2011, bottle labels are one of our most-asked-about products — so here are the specific brand-fit and care questions we hear every week, answered in one place.
Questions Answered in This Post
Which Bottle Label Fits Comotomo, Avent, and Tommee Tippee?
Bottle rim shapes vary by brand, and that determines which label format will actually bond and stay. Here's the fit guide by brand:
Curved Bottle Rim Labels — Avent® and Tommee Tippee®
Avent® and Tommee Tippee® bottles have a slant-back nipple rim. Our curved rim labels match that angle so they lie flat without lifting at the edges. These go on the plastic nipple ring — not the bottle body — for the most reliable, longest-lasting fit.
Slim Bottle Rim Labels — Comotomo®
Comotomo® bottles have a straight vertical nipple rim, which is largely silicone-bodied — the rim itself is the only reliable label surface. Our slim rim label is sized to match that straight profile and bonds securely where the body would not hold a label at all.
Standard Bottle Labels — Straight-Bodied Bottles
For bottles with a straight cylindrical body and no curved grip profile, the standard label goes directly on the bottle body, just below the nipple ring, where the surface is flat enough to stay easy to write on and read.

Are the Labels Rewritable?
Yes — write directly on the label to update preparation dates, contents, or notes as needed. This is especially useful for tracking when breast milk was expressed or thawed, or when formula was prepared. Select labels come with a semi-permanent marker and a wax-based pencil included as optional add-ons, both designed specifically for our label surface. For the full daycare prep checklist beyond just bottles, see our back-to-school and daycare labels checklist.
How Do I Remove Writing So I Can Rewrite on the Label?
It depends on the tool used. Semi-permanent marker washes off with water — rinse or wipe with a damp cloth. Wax-based pencil wipes off with a dry cloth. Either way, make sure the label is fully dry before rewriting; a damp surface affects legibility and how well the new writing adheres.
Are the Labels Dishwasher-Safe?
Yes. Once applied, our bottle labels are waterproof, bottle warmer-safe, sterilizer-safe, dishwasher-safe on the top rack, microwave-safe, and tear-resistant. The one exception: metal items with a label applied should be handwashed rather than run through the dishwasher.
Can I Put Labeled Bottles in the Fridge or Freezer?
Yes — labels are refrigerator-safe and freezer-safe once applied. Fill and label bottles ahead of time, store them cold, and the label stays put and legible. This makes it easy to prep a week's worth of bottles in advance without labels peeling off in cold storage.
How Do I Make My Bottle Labels Last as Long as Possible?
Use the top rack of the dishwasher — lower rack placement exposes labels to more direct heat. Avoid sanitary dishwasher cycles. Handwash any metal items with labels applied. Avoid bleach and bleach-based or essential-oil detergents, which degrade both print and adhesive over time; standard detergents are fine.
For the full surface-prep step that determines how long any waterproof label lasts — including the isopropyl alcohol prep most people skip — see our guide on how to label baby bottles for daycare.
