Good Grips 4-Piece Reusable Extendable Straw Set, Blue/Green, 10.5 inches

The straws hold up great to daily use & clean easily, no issues there. For the travel case, I agree that it can be difficult to open at times. I don't think a person with motor issues would be able to open it. While I think this is an issue, I think it's better than the alternative of the case having a hinge, that would be far more prone to breaking. I think OXO did a good job on the case here, with room for improvement.

All about saving the world but the paper straw is the bane of my existence! On my last vacation to Disney and last cruise, all of my frozen drinks came with a paper straw that were just not practical for the beverage’s viscosity. This straw has made me even greener in my travels as I now tell businesses to keep the paper straw and enjoy my sips better than ever before. These straws are easy to clean, easy to pack, and a joy to use! Recommend to any and all!

I like the straws and the case. I use them for smoothies and I have no complaints.

The straws are good but I have no clue how the case got past product testing. I even tried lubing the grooves with some mineral oil (food safe, no odor) and it didn't help at all. Opening this case is like trying to get out of a chinese finger trap.

Due to some dental issues, I have to make sure to drink from a straw for many different reasons. Soda .. keeping the acidity from my teeth .. coffee .. to prevent staining .. alcohol ..to prevent further gum erosion. This extendable straw makes it possible to drink cold drinks .. hot drinks .. and the case that fits the cleaning brush makes it so easy to travel with.

Didn’t like the design. Cleaning brush is helpful.

Easy to clean with little brush--case fits in purse--nice to have my own at restaurants

Another great OXO product. Sturdy and fit for purpose.

Most people say that the case is hard to open. They are right! BUT!!! After closing and opening it two or three times, the little plastic bits inside the case ware down slightly and make consequent openings a lot easier. PLUS!!! I found that pushing from the bottom of the case with either of your thumbs demands a lot less effort, compared to using the notch at the top of the case. Overall this duo pack of straws is the best on the market and worth every penny. The construction is great, quality is great, the ease of cleaning with the included brush is great ( like the incorporated handle ) and best of all the length of these straws is great! No more straw getting lost in a glass, like most of the shorter competitors. Great straw! (How many times did I say great? ; ])

I loathe paper straws, they ruin the drink with one sip and if you sit on your drinks like I do then you know it’s soggy within minutes. This is the solution, it comes with 2 (because you know you’ll wash one and forget to put it back in the case). The carry case is sturdy and slim enough to throw in the bottom of my bag. It doesn’t attract every bit of purse dirt like others I’ve tried. It comes with a cleaning brush for on the go convenience. Great for work. You most definitely will save at least one turtle.

It’s well made, easy to wash , the rubber tip and metal straw parts can be dismantled to wash. However the texture of the rubber is matted can can trap “fluff” from cloth or tissue.

No more straw problems

So I hate paper straws with a passion and due to sensory issues I really hate full metal straws as well. This is the best of both. Telescoping straw, carrying case and a thing to clean it with. Super happy second time I've bought this item
