Tomorotec 15-Pack 12" Reusable Silicone Drinking Straws Fit for Stanley Tumblers 20, 30, 40 oz with 2 Cleaning Brushes, BPA-Free Food-Grade Vibrant Colors Flexible Straws for Family Use (Sea Colors)

My hsband %26 I use the stainless steel tumblers for our drinks all the time around the house %26 on the road. We already had straws for all our tumblers. However, they were either hard, rigid plastic straws or stainless steel straws. I liked both type of straws, but had some concerns. My husband is in his 70's %26 has some health issues that cause him to fall occasionally despite a cane. A few years ago, I read about a woman who fell while carrying her drink that had a stainless steel straw in it. Freak accident, but the straw went in her eye %26 her brain, resulting in her death. I've been associated with the medical field %26 ER doctors have stories of treating people (especially young children) who have suffered puncture wounds in their mouth %26 throat from stainless steel straws. The rigid plastic straws would hopefully break without injuring someone, but there's no guarantee of that. I like the flexibility of these straws %26 the various pretty colors.

I love the softness of the straws, vs the hard plastic that comes with some of my bottles. The brush is great to clean the straws. You've thought of everything. Since it's only me, I really didn't need so many; would have been nice to order a smaller package. I was happy to be able to order these, I couldn't find them locally to purchase. Great for the environment!!
