thicker material straws
Far thicker and less collapsible than my other silicone straws.  Makes an excellent teether according to my toddler and infant.  Does not collapse in the firmer straw holes in silipint lid or if you want to use it with a disposable soda lid.  Buying just some straws as I would like to use one too but my kids steal them.  I agree with the reviewer who said they don't come with a brush--which is weird since the shadier straws come with them. But if this isn't your first purchase you probably have a straw brush already?  Silicone holds flavors and needs to be boiled to remove the smell/taste.  It kinda sucks but it's sustainable and not breakable.  I like stainless steel for not holding odors but my kids can dent them and they feel less safe on concrete than silicone.  The best way to use the cups is to dedicate one to each type of beverage (how many do you realllly drink? Coffee/tea, water, soda/seltzer, beer).
