Sick of getting paper straws which are useless after a few minutes. so easy to have one of these in your pocket

Convenient for putting in handbag or pocket, very hygienic , completely washable .

One of my pet hates is those thick paper straws that set stuck to your lip and make your drink taste as if you are drinking through a toilet roll. I hate that my straw goes soggy. These wonderful portable, easy to clean straws are a god send. No more weird tastes, no more soggy straw. I can just clip to my bag, carry in my purse, have one in the car, one in the desk at work have one anywhere and Hey Presto! a pleasant drink experience, save the planet on waste, washable, reuseable and easy to transport. Grab a few, you will not regret it. Great for kids lunch boxes and when out at a cafe.

Love these reusable straws to take with us when we went on our last cruise! They're compact, easy to travel with and way better than the candy straws the cruise lines offer! I love these as a great option when I go out to eat anywhere that straws aren't offered or paper straws are the only options (aquariums or restaurants near oceans). These collapsible straws are easy to clean and fold up into themselves, go right into their little carriers. The only issue I ended up having was when the rubber tip fell off a couple of them -- and that really wasn't even that big of a deal for me at the end of the day.
