  Ours have little silicone bits on the end to use as a mouthpiece to prevent that. We also have some silicone straws which work fine.

    Silicone is a type of plastic (kind of)

      Yeah, silicone is in a weird spot where it’s kinda a plastic and kinda rubber.

      But that’s less important because they aren’t single use. You’re going to use them time and again.

      Same reason I never felt bad about buying the “single use” plastic grocery bags from Aldi that they’ve discontinued - I still have ones from my first visit to an Aldi that I continue to reuse.

    Sounds like Germ City to me tbh. Straws are bad enough already without nooks and crannies

      Idk about theirs, but my silicone bits are removable. You take them off before you wash them.
