these are regular size not smoothie size
I had a really hard time finding regular sized silicone straws. These are just barely bigger then regular plastic straws. They fit through the hole in my tumbler no problem. They were exactly what I was looking for. I would highly recommend these particular straws. Also you would probably have to bite as hard as you would bite a carrot to actually bite through the straw. They still have that soft flexible silicone texture, but they are definatly more resilient then plastic straws.

Kid-friendly and Fun to Use! Easy to clean, great straw!
These straws are awesome and all three of my kids LOVE them! I ordered the purple and yellow ones and they are the perfect size, size of a normal drinking straw. They product is just as described--nearly indestructible, perfectly bendy and super easy to clean! I have 3 year old twins who are very much into drinking from a "big kid" cup now, with no lid. I can quickly grab one of these straws to throw into one of their cups and think nothing more. If you have a straw chewer like my daughter, these are the answer for how to alleviate all those broken and cracked plastic straws that refuse to reform their shape! The glugglug resuable silicone goes back to its shape, and leaves no teeth marks or anything after she has chewed and chewed on it! Like most moms, I am a stickler for cleanliness and easily grossed out by straws that come with reusable cups that I'm never sure if they are clean enough, even after a thorough washing. The skinny scrub brush that comes with these straws works perfectly to scrub and wash the entire inside of the straw to ensure it is safe for the next use. Highly recommend this fun product for families with kids!

Never thought I'd end up loving reuable straws but I do
Never thought I'd end up loving reusable straws -- but it was time to check some out, and I am very happy to have found glugglug Regular Size Reusable Skinny Silicone Drinking Straws. I use them for my morning smoothie, and makes it fun to drink our adult beverages, and even ice water. I am sensitive to weird taste and these straws are straight up odorless and tasteless. Instead of using the handy cleaning brush (extra added bonus: I use it to clean my hummingbird feeder!), I immediately rinse after using, and toss in the dishwasher to sanitize them, with no issues at all. I also love that they are flexible, bright colored, and really, where does all the plastic we toss go? Nothing good comes from mass amounts of plastic being tossed into the garbage so I am committed to using reusable straws from now on. Thank you glugglug for making me love using reusable straws.

Needs a better cleaning brush!
These are really cute and the perfect size for the kids and my "normal-sized" travel cups (not those 30 oz things). Unfortunately, the cleaning brush broke after cleaning three of the straws, straight out of the package. Luckily I have back up brushes, but it was very disappointing that the one cleaning brush they included is totally unusable and now I'm throwing plastic into the trash... kind of takes the "feeling good about not using plastic straws" down a notch. The straws also had a strange fruity smell to them, almost like fruit-scented markers or Fruit Loops cereal. Hoping that fades after a few more cleanings and airing them out, but it is a bit weird if these are purely food grade silicon.

My son LOVES these straw
My 17 month old son absolutely LOVES these straws! He's been using them for approximately 2 months now and he gets super excited whenever he sees me put one of them into a drink because he knows that he'll get to use it. The cleaning brush worked well for the first few uses, but by the 4th time that I tried to use it, the handle separated from the brush and we have not been able to use the cleaning tool since then. The straw are still great though!

Thick walled, sturdy straws
I hated all the flimsy flappy straws I had purchased but decided to give this brand a try. These are definitely my favorite. I chew on them a little, without meaning to, and the are still in perfect condition. My only tiny complaint is the cleaner brush broke very quickly, it’s quite flimsy.

Typical reuse straw. Cute but could be longer
Cute design which is hard to find on reuse straws and do as they should. Wish they were longer tho so I could USE them

These are perfect!! They have no after taste like the metal ones that I had purchased and these are heavy enough to stay in your glass and not float. I purchased these since regular straws are not recyclable!

Really great product!
We really love our glugglug straws! Both my children have autism and have trouble drinking - we have been using disposable plastic straws for years. I've been searching for an alternative for all that time. The metal reuseable straws didn't meet their sensory need to bite down on the straw - so these silicone straws are a total godsend. My kids have transitioned seamlessly to them, they are easy to clean, and I am thrilled to finally no longer be using plastic straws. Thank you!!!

Great straws but rubbish brush
I really like these straws. They have a great design and seem to be quite durable. The size of them works well not as some others which are far too big.The brush which comes with it is OK and maybe could be slightly less bendy/flexible. But so far cleaning with it works well.[UPDATE]After literally a couple times of use, the handle of the brush came off which made the brush useless. So, while the straws are great I feel that without a brush they can't be kept clean properly and will be useless in the long run, unless I buy another brush from somewhere. From my POV that's a major downside - minus two stars.

Excellent Customer Service
I received my original order minus brushes but wasn't concerned as I already had one so didn't bother contacting the seller as I was very happy with the straws. I received an email from the seller saying some orders had gone ut incomplete and asking if mine was okay. I replied that the brushes were missing but that the straws were fine. Without having asked for them for replacements, I received a whole new order in the post and an apology via email. I was amazed at their customer service and determination to make sure that my order had been properly filled. 1st class service and great product.

Perfect!
I prefer to drink through a straw for hygiene reasons and because I have sensitive teeth. Over the year's I have tried many alternatives to plastic straws because I don't like the waste they create. Sadly until now I have never been entirely happy with any one product. They either get soggy or split easily. When I got my straws I thought that I would find them too thick and that I would need to use more pressure to bring the fluid up. I am pleased to say that on both accounts I was WRONG! These straws are a brilliant find. Thankyou.

Too thick for me
I bought these as i thought they were similar to normal standard straws. I use straws as i cannot hold cups and drink tea with them. The internal dimensions may be similar to a normal straw but they are very thick; so nothing like a standard straw. It may not be a problem to casual straw users! But for me it makes a big difference. I cant comfortably sip my tea. I also cant get used to the rubbery feel.Sturdy and a good size for a cup. Washed in dishwasher in the fork rack.

Best reusable straws on the market
These straws are soft, flexible and comfortable in your mouth. The design is appealing and they are easy and practical to clean, even just swilling with warm /hot water will do in a pinch. The thickness is lovely, although it takes a while to get used to the fact you can't "feel" the drink on the way up the straw as well, especially with hot drinks (also works great on those). Loses one star for the fact I wish they were a bit longer. Would recommend, to me silicone is the best in the market.

Highly recommend
Really happy with these straws. I used to use plastic straws for drinking coffee so as to avoid teeth staining until I realised that this wasn't safe so ordered these instead as they are BPA free etc, they are so much nicer than the regular straw to use also so I'm so I'm delighted and never leave the house without one .i previously bought a glass straw but it was awful, really uncomfortable to use!!! . my little boy loves them too so I'm happy to see him using better quality straws too .. win win :)

These are terrific..
These straws are fantastic!! I have a child with special needs who mostly drinks through straws and so we go through them quite a lot. I'm delighted to have found these, they are soft, easy flowing and reusable. I hated the waste of the plastic straws, a simple wash and these ones are ready to use over and over again - so completely eco friendly. Easy on the tongue and palate (especially when baby teeth are loose or have just fallen out!) They're flexible, and resilient to being bitten and chewed a bit. They look and feel very satisfying. I'm more than happy with them and will be buying them again for sure. Thank you for these!!!

Perfect- will order more
Love them. Wanted something soft but sturdy, and dishwasher safe- these have been perfect.They are soft on the palette but are thick so don't collapse when sucked.Also like that they didn't arrive in any plastic packaging- just a paper envelope with string seal.Drives me nuts when I order eco friendly products, and they arrive wrapped in plastic!

Very close sized to the average plastic straws.
Wow we have really struggled since the plastic straw withdrawal having a child with feeding and drinking issues it took us many years to get him to learn how to drink through a straw, these are so close to a average plastic drinking straw so the flow is about the same. Most of the silicone straws are much wider and for anyone with difficulties this can be very hard to adjust to.Lovely bright colours flexible but not to much, my son has chewed on one quite happily for the last 2 hours and it still looks good as new. Comes with handy handbag size pouch and cleaners.Highly recommended.

Get them!
Excellent alternative to plastic single use straws. I have been using these in the home and outside of it for 6 months now and really rate these straws. They are better than the metal ones for kids and a good size for sticking in smaller drinks for us adults too. I use them in the home with those cups that have lids with holes in that come with a thick plastic straw that lasts about 2 days! The bottle brush that is included is a great touch too. SAY NO TO ONE-USE STRAWS!

Fantastic purchase
I have bought these primarily for my little girl. She is 21 months old and just loves drinking her water through a straw. She loves these straws and I have to say that I do too.The customer service is also fantastic, I couldn't be happier with my purchase.

Great!
These are great. Easily washed in the dish washer and come out perfect. No damage! My kids love them. We take them everywhere. Much better than throw away plastic ones and so so much better than these new paper straws that fall apart after the first sip!

Durable
Have had these for almost a year now.. Love them. Use them for my toddler who's just starting to want to drink from a cup but can't be trusted to bring the cup to his mouth as all contents would probably end up drowning him. They pop right into the dishwasher at the end of each day and are ready for use again! Saving the environment too!

Best reusable straws!
These are such a great idea! The straws come with a little brush too which is rather handy! I'm still on my first straw, several months later! Had to give some to my friends as they were envious!
