Simply Straws
So many of us spent the summers as kids sipping our favorite sodas through straws of every shape and size, from straight to bendy to corkscrew straws. Not only were these straws fun, making it easy to ride a bike and sip a drink, but they were actively protecting our teeth from the harsh acids in sugary drinks. The catch is that those same plastic straws that protected our teeth years ago are still sitting in landfills today, breaking down into toxic microplastic pieces. We must admit, straws are still fun–but there’s a better way to sip. Simply Straws glass straws are reusable, and make any drink more fun, without garnishing landfills. Plus, if you break your straw, they’ll send you another one–free of charge. That’s one straw for life, instead of hundreds of plastic ones.
All Simply Straws products are reusable, sustainable, durable, biodegradable, and handmade with intention in California. Make the switch and find out why more and more people are saying no to single-use, and thinking outside of the plastic!

Hi Melissa! This straw is just a bit too snug for boba, but we have some excellent other straws that are great for your tea needs!

Hi Rosie! This straw is a smidge too small to drink Boba tea with. However, we do have a Boba straw that we should be getting more of mid-August!

This arrived in the Earth Hero box, packaged in a compostible plastic baggie with a cardboard label and a staple. The straw cleaner was also in the baggie but not inside the straw – it’s as pictured with twisted metal, plastic bristles, and a protective bit of glue at the top so you don’t scratch the glass while you clean with it. The blue straw has the logo engraved on one end – you don’t really see it on casual use – and an S emblazoned on the opposite end where the glass came off the rod during production. It’s really a beautiful piece and has held up to my hot tea all day every day so far. There’s no danger of cutting your lip with the glass straw as opposed to a metal one. I do try to warm it up before I pour the tea because I’ve gone through so many non-heat resistant glass cups to date. I hope this one goes with me for many years. Thank you, Simply Straws!

I had only ever tried a metal reusable straw before, somehow the glass is just such a nicer feel. I also like how wide this straw is – makes drinking anything, but especially smoothies, super nice!

I love this. I make smoothies every day and hated using plastic straws or ones that I couldn’t even use for my smoothie. The 8in is the perfect size for my magic bullet cup. It’s super easy to clean and I love that it came with a straw cleaner. I would most definitely buy again!

I prefer glass over steel because I feel much more at ease cleaning glass straws. I love how long the 10 inch one is — I feel like it fits everything. Just barely big enough for boba. My only possible complaint is that the cleaner was perfectly in the middle of straw, so it was not easy to push out unless your fingers are small enough or you have something small enough to push it. It took my slow brain a while to think of using a pencil to push it out. But that’s not relevant to the performance of the straw — everything works great. Would recommend.
