well, if you do it like me you can use drinking cups out of plastic or better-silicone. To get the Popsicles out, just put them under hot water for a few seconds and oull out or let them stand fr a short time. its better than throwing away those cups all the time and buying new ones because you can use silicon molds or plastic drinking cups for forever..

  Just be careful to use plastic. Check that your plastics doesn't have the toxic BPA (bisphenol A) or PVC (phthalates).
