Hiware 12-Pack Reusable Stainless Steel Metal Straws with Case - Long Drinking Straws for 30 oz and 20 oz Tumblers Dishwasher Safe - 2 Cleaning Brushes Included

I’ve had these straws since 2020, and still use them on a near-daily basis. I really appreciate the variance in size and angle that come in this pack, and I find myself using all 4 different styles regularly. I keep one stashed in each of my bags, because I am that straw person, as well as my office and my car. I just make sure I bring in whatever cup I’ve used a straw with so I remember to replace it (thank you, ADHD brain). I appreciate that it comes with a cleaning brush, which allows me to easily maintain the ones I’m using and keep up with my exchange system. As much as I want to let having to clean straws annoy me, it literally never takes more than 20 seconds to properly clean them. They’re pretty, easy to travel with, and a good width to fit most scenarios. Hopefully this is obvious, but they’re not big enough to suite something like tapioca/boba pearls. Some people might prefer to have something like a silicone tip on their straws to protect their teeth among other comfort preferences; I haven’t had any issues with this, so these have suited my lifestyle and met my needs very well.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:I like to use straws for my drinks, even at home. Metal straws can be used over and over again and are more economical to use than plastic or paper. They usually come with a tiny cleaning brush so that you can scrub the inside of the straw thoroughly--really important if you drink anything that might be thick enough to not just rinse out with water (juices with pulp, smoothies, dairy based drinks, etc). I have found that just using hot water and dish soap and letting the straws air dry sufficient to keep them nice and clean for the next use. They don't break like glass straws, and they don't mildew or crack like ones made from bamboo can. We managed, somehow, to have most of our metal straws seemingly disappear into thin air, so this set was a replacement for those. Straw quality:They seem well made, and I chose the gold color. I have no idea if the color will come off or not. That would actually be unusual since I have had a plain silver colored set, and one with a "rainbow" finish, and they never changed colored or rusted. According to the manufacturer, these straws are not supposed to change color and are considered dishwasher safe. I won't know about the dishwasher part because I usually handwash things like these since they can fall into some opening in the dishwasher. I haven't had any problems getting these straws clean with hot water and dish soap. The set comes with two narrow brushes for cleaning the insides of the straws. Straws will wear out, but I know for a fact, that brush straws like these can be found just about anywhere online and in stores at a very low price. You would want to replace the brushes when they get worn or look like they might be getting a bit grungy. I chose the gold colored straws even though the plain steel ones were on sale for a cheaper price. I guess I want to feel fancy drinking my Crystal Light out of my Dollar Tree tumbler. Bendability:Absolutely not. They're hard metal. A few of the straws come with a bend in them (as shown in the photos), but they are not flexible at all. Variety of sizes:A decent assortment that should cover regular drinking glasses and smaller tumblers. My prior set had some really large diameter straws for smoothies and bobas, but I rarely drink something like this at home, so I still have those straws from the other set should I need them. I think it could have included at least one really extra long straw, but I saw the given measurements of the straws in the ad, and they are the sizes I would use the most. I did add a separate set of matching "cocktail" straws just for the heck of it. Length:Set includes three 10.5 inch straight straws, three 10.5 inch bent straws, three 8.5 inch straight straws, and three 8.5 inch bent strawsSize:Think I've covered how big they are. The details are given in the description of the ad. Softness:Of course they are not soft! They're metal. But they are smooth--no rough or sharp edges. And they don't make your drinks taste weird like metal. I guess, if you want "soft", the set does come with a nice cloth storage bag. Since I'm not travelling with these straws, I'm using the bag to store extra straw cleaning brushes I have from another set of kitchen cleaning tools. I forgotten they were sending a bag. I was actually charmed that they sent one, despite being made of very cheap, basic muslin, was nicely made enough to be usable!So, do I recommend these? Yes, I do. I would buy them again if these manage to disappear, or just felt I needed extra straws for guests. If you included a set of straws with some tumblers, napkins, and some sort of beverage, this would make a nice little gift for people you need to give a gift to, but don't know that well. Housewarmings, students going off to school, bridal showers, anniverseries, Christmas, birthdays, and other gift-giving occasions.

These metal straws with case is a practical and a better alternative for those don't like plastic for whatever the reason. These straws are well-constructed and durable, making them perfect for daily use. The included carrying case is a convenient addition, ensuring easy portability and hygiene. 2 straw cleaners are also included for easy cleaning.The sleek design of the stainless steel straws adds a touch of elegance to any drink. And because they are metal, and not flexible, you can actually drink a shake out of them unlike flimsy silicone straws. As for comfort, I do prefer the bent straws over the straight ones but this pack includes both so you have the option. These are a great alternative to disposable plastic straws, this set is a sustainable and stylish choice for eco-conscious consumers.

I love the varying straw lengths for my different sized cups. I use the shorter straws for my iced coffees. Washing them is made easier with the straw cleaner that comes with it to make sure it’s cleaned properly. I also like the carrying pouch they came with to keep them all together.

I love these straws. I received a gift of utensils to use at work about a year ago and I have been using them ever seen. It's a all metal utensils kit with 2 metal straws. After that I needed metal straws in my house and as a gift to the person who gave me the gift and another to a friend. Easy to clean and as long as its sanitized properly your good to go.

The media could not be loaded. I love the varying length that's offered in the same packaging, the straw quality is high. I love that it comes with a brush for easy cleaning.

Very nice and well made. A little hard to get use to when you first use them but sooo much better than recycled paper straws.

Online it looks like a huge kit, but it's not, it's just right. All of the straws are nice lengths, so that if you have several guests over with different preferences, all of these straws would work reasonably well. It would not hurt to have a second set, though, since these things take up so little space. I don't usually lose things, but I can see where it's a good idea to have a second straw brush in case one gets lost. I probably won't use the bag that came with it for straws on the go, but I can probably use it for something else, I will keep it anyway. Overall this is a well thought out and well made stainless steel straw kit and I absolutely recommend it to anyone. I'm thinking of boba and smoothie straws now, and deciding whether I want to use glass, stainless steel, or silicone. I wish there was a way to make glass unbreakable with graphene oxide in it or something, but for now, I'm very happy that I have good choices.
