Silicone Reusable Straws
So I wouldn’t usually make a post like this but these things are amazing. I’m trying to reduce my impact on the environment and to participate in that straw challenge that’s happening, at least here in Australia, where you try your hardest to stop using single use plastic straws.
I’m doing good so far but I wanted to share these amazing and cheap straws I found that are multi use and should probably last forever. I drink coffee most days so that means I use a straw every day and I felt like reuseable straws would dramatically cut back on my harm to the environment and these might help you if you do the same.
So the brand is SiliconeStraws.com.au and they make these colourful silicon straws. They actually come with enough brushes to clean them which is pretty wild but they're also dishwasher safe because they’re silicone. all you really need the brushes for is if you drank a smoothie or something that wouldn’t clean out as well and needs an extra scrub.
I just pop the straw I used for coffee in my cup of water and that always gives it a good in between rinse so there isnt any nasty stuff hanging around in the straw. They also come in this fabric bag so you can keep them clean and safe and take them anywhere with you which is pretty convenient if you’re trying to do the straw thing like me.
They’re also big enough to fit in almost every kind of vessel, I’ve been using this huge half gallon water bottle with them and they’re long enough to touch the bottom which is great. I’ve seen a lot of people going for glass reusable straws which is just fine but they’re pretty damn expensive and fragile.
I went for these because I would immediately break a glass straw so if youre like me I’d opt for a silicone or other plastic straw. So yeah, these things are great! They’re cheap and easy to clean and convenient and there great for if your doing this straw challenge thingy. I highly encourage everyone to do the straw challenge and stop sucking through single use plastic straws!
