Desheng Drinking Straws - Kids Reusable Silicone Straws for take and toss cups with Cleaning Brush(BPA Free,Short,Narrow,Assorted,Pack of 12)

I purchased these straws to replace the 10-12 plastic ones we use a day with our kids. The price was cheap so I wasn’t too optimistic but I was pleasantly surprised when the straws arrived. They were packaged in a nice box with cartoons on it. The straws and two pipe cleaners were in a drawstring bag that can be used to store the straws in. The straws came in multiple bright colors and are very good quality. They are flexible and have one side that is bigger so that the straw doesn’t come out of the cup. I highly recommend these and would purchase them again.

We have gone through plastic straws and bamboo straws but these were the first to hold up for our kiddos. We have a son that loves to chew and these straws have withstood the teeth of time! He uses them everyday to drink and then gnaw and they have held up great. They're easy to clean, colorful and sturdy. The top is a little wider and thicker than thr rest of the straw making it even more durable for those little teeth. I like that they're flexible so the boys can't poke themselves like with hard straws. We've put them in the dishwasher or handwash and they've been fine. We do use them with shorter kid-sized cups with silicon lids and they are great for that. I can't remember if they come in a longer size for taller cups but these definitely are for kids-sized cups. I would recommend!

Love these straws! They are the perfect size for kids cups. I love that they are silicon, soft but sturdy enough. They are slim, unlike others I've seen. Much safer then plastic and stainless steel straws. I love the extra thickness at the top. I have kids who like to chew on the straws so this is perfect. Definitely recommend!

I bought these to replace the straws that came with our Take and Toss cups. The original TnT straws got chewed up so badly I had to keep cutting them down until they became useless. My biggest concern was how easily I'd be able to insert these straws into the TnT cups since they aren't a sturdy plastic. My video shows that it can be done one handed but it does take more encouragement (of course, it's much easier to insert the straw before you put the lid on because you can easily pull it through on the other side, but experienced parents will know that the straw being in BEFORE the lid is snapped on results in a volcano eruption). My other concern is durability. My 4YO likes to chew and has already tested these new flexible straws a little. So far they're snapping back just fine but I'm not sure how they'll hold up to those teeth over time. It hasn't been long enough to do a true endurance test. Will update review if something changes. Another thing I've personally verified is that these straws do cause extreme suction to where you can't suck fluid from the cup if the bottom of the straw is flush with the floor of the cup. You have to have a little gap. So I can now see the benefit of getting similar straws that are angled at the bottom to prevent this from being an issue.

I love these straws and so does my toddler! They fit the toss and go cups, even though they are a little long. That extra length seems to make it easier for my little guy to drink though, and they don't leak like the plastic ones the cups come with.

We got these for take n toss cups. They fit perfectly, and so far they’ve stood up to my six year old’s chewing. As a bonus, if you put the thicker end on the inside of the cup, it is hard for kids to pull them out and pour their juice out of the hole and make a mess. 🙃 The soft straws are also safer for the straw-obsessed baby to crawl around with than the hard original ones.

I purchased these straws since my son often chews on his milk box straws to the point that he destroys them. I got these for that purpose, but I've also used them in the Dannon smoothie cups. He is a sensory seeker and often likes to chew on items. These are durable and sturdy so if he chews on them they don't get ruined. It is also nice to have different colors so I can tell the kids' milk boxes apart. At first I had hoped they'd come in a smaller quantity, but now I keep some in the kitchen and some in the diaper bag so I can use them at restaurants in place of plastic (or paper) straws.

These are exactly what we needed for my 20 month old toddler. He likes drinking yogurts/smoothies, but he was chewing up the straws to the point where he couldn't finish his drink. We have to pre-make a hole, but these mean that he can chew but still finish whatever he's drinking. Plus we don't have keep tossing straws (even if they are the biodegradable ones.)
