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

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 can now reach the bottom of that tall cup i got at Dollar Tree. It also reaches the bottom of bottles too did i mention they bend? you can also Reuse these? they come with one of those small scrubber things designed for these....that can be helpful if you've lost all your other straw scrubbers i haven't tried hooking them together to make a super long straw....i just tried....it can be done....but too difficult for me (: or :) i also like the different colors. i dont know if these are recyclable next there going to ask me to review the seller....that seems unnecessary to me
