I bought these for when we go out for the evening - I can't drink from a glass full of ice cubes as I have sensitive teeth so I've always used straws. Waxed straws go soggy so now we aren't seeing plastic straws (for very good reasons) I thought I;d buy my own. Only drawback is that, being metal, they transfer heat/cold extremely well so watch out if you want to try a hot drink. There are a couple of small flexible brushes supplied so you can get them really clean, even the bendy strawsI didn't know metal straws even existed until my son asked for some. These straws are great value and great quality and the funky colours make them really appealing. They come with a very handy thin bottle brush. And of course the real benefit is that they are durable and reusable meaning less plastic going into landfill and our oceans.Purchased these straws after deciding to become more environmentally friendly. They arrived within a week and look very colourful and feel very sturdy. It took a while to get used to them as normally with plastic or paper straws I find myself biting on the ends and with metal it means having to amend how you use them. Brilliant being able to pop them in the dishwasher and to clean the inside with the wire brushes provided. I will not be using anything else from now on and hope to find some smaller ones to use with my G&T's.With all the publicity around plastics, I thought I’d get some reusable straws. These are great. My grandchildren love them, the colours encourage them to be used and they are strong enough and smooth for me to have confidence about cleaning them. The two small brushes included are a bonus.Love them- they look great and make perfect gifts. Bought l’or can as bags to store th in. They also come with two cleaning brushes but I wish they were more especially as I’ve given out these straws and only two friends have the brushes.
