3 PCS Reusable Silicone Drinking Straws, Openable and Washable Straw, Food Grade BPA Free Long and Wide for Any Tumbler, No Rubber Taste (Blue+Pink+Gray)

We make a lot of smoothies in our household; prior to getting these silicone straws it was a battle between me and hubby to clean out our metal straws. With all those traditional straws, no matter the material, you need that irritating pipe cleaner thing to get in there, and neither of us liked doing it. I usually ended up with this aggravating chore and found it more and more annoying/tedious to clean them, and you obviously can't look inside the straw to see how clean it is.I decided to give these straws a chance, given that our traditional ones were slowly driving me bonkers. These are great! They seal/unseal quite readily, and I have never had a problem with suction when using them. However, on the rare occasion that material gets too dried and stuck-on, you may have to work a bit to rub/scrape off any tiny areas of gunk that prove stubborn. This tends to happen in the folds/crevasses where the straw opens/closes. I will undo them and stick them in a tall glass with some soap and hot water if this happens and generally it can overcome this.They do hold up just fine in the dishwasher, and I do throw them in there frequently so they get more sanitized in the really hot water for those where that aspect is important to them.As other reviewers pointed out, these are quite wide: if you are using cups/glasses that have a straw hole of small diameter, these are NOT going to work out for you. However, I am no longer going crazy whenever I clean our straws and purchased a second set.

These straws work great and they are easy to clean. However, coffee and tea can leave odors over time, and so can some dishwasher detergents.I recently switched to Cascade, and suddenly had Cascade lemon-scented coffee. Yuck. My go to for removing stains and odors is baking soda and hydrogen peroxide, so I figured why not give it a try.It works. Take a plate large enough to fit your straws, sprinkle it with baking soda. Open up your straws and lay them across it. Sprinkle them with baking soda. Then squirt hydrogen peroxide (just the regular 3% kind from the drugstore) on and inside the straws. Let it sit for a few hours. Then rub them clean - the baking soda is a mild abrasive. You could further clean them with an unscented dish soap, but it probably won't be necessary. Just rinse thoroughly. PS do not mix hydrogen peroxide and vinegar. Just hydrogen peroxide and baking soda.

Easy to clean, flexible and fits a variety of cups. The colors are cute and my kids and family love using them. After initial wash didnt notice a plastic smell ir taste. Great value and don't break like generic plastic straws.

A few things to note, these straws don’t leak! They snap back together like a breeze. But they don’t fit into regular straw cups, so these won’t work as a fix for Starbucks cups. I’ll be honest I’m a bit bummed since that’s what I got these for, however these straws are overall awesome and well worth the money! I work with developmentally disabled adults, many with nerve/ muscular issues, these straws work for my clients when we have cook outs at my house or just for if they want some water while we enjoy summer activities. 10/10 would still recommend them!

I love using a straw in my beverages, but don't want to add to trash with plastic straws or deal with paper straws that come apart. These straws are fun, open and close easily, and are very easy to clean. No mold will ever show up on these straws. The only drawback so far is that when using them you get a bit of extra air along with the beverage. It is not bad, but it is an adjustment. Having three of them is great as there is always one available for use. For someone like me that wants to use a straw, these are easy to take along and super easy to clean.

Everything you've ever wanted in a reusable straw but 1000x easier to clean. I've been wanting a reusable straw for a while now but the thought of the middle/inside of them always grossed me out. When I saw these on a TikTok, I immediately came over to Amazon to buy some to try. This is the best reusable straw I've ever used. I even converted some of my coworkers into buying and using them. Highly recommend!!

Before finding these straws on TikTok, I was using a wide plastic straw for my morning smoothies. Never felt like I was really cleaning it well even with the little straw scrubber.These new silicone straws were so easy to open to clean when I unboxed them and easily snapped back together, creating a complete seal.The straw’s wide hole is perfect for my morning smoothie. It’s the first use but I’m very impressed with the design so far! Would recommend!

Beware: These straws have a massive seam going down the length of them. Yes, the one thing that straws should not have. A straw should be a tube through and through. These actually open up lengthwise so that you can clean them. Bruh. So yeah, probably like 20 percent of what you're sucking is air from that open slit running the entire length of the straw. They tried to design the thing to clasp together but honestly you'd be better off with a metal straw and a pipe cleaner.
