Bubba Big Straw 5 Pack of Reusable Straws (Assorted Bold Colors)

Best straws ever! I actually first bought these from a box store 3yrs ago poved them work great, dishwasher safe, good quality. However all of a sudden friends and family were wanting also and you couldn't buy them anywhere so I look on amazon and boom they have them, and they are a greag price. I purchased 3 packages for my family and friends to divide up. They are so cool. You can use them in any travel cup as long as it has the flat slot the straws are made out of Silicon like the bake ware. When I first bought them I thought these are probably not going to work the straw will collapse because they are so soft and flimsy but NOPE. They work great my whole family loves them low maintenance kids love them and even my 1yr old likes them she will take out of the cip and then use as a teether. All in All great product and love the bright colors

These are awesome! The width of them is not too large or too small- perfect for our smoothies. They clean very easily, which was surprising, but they do NOT come with a cleaning brush. I bought other straws that came with a brush, so I use that to clean them. (I'm sure you could stick them in the dishwasher, but not all of us have the luxury of said machine and have to wash everything by hand!). The flexibility and durability works nicely as well. I mainly like that you can use them over and over again, so it's one way you can help reduce plastic waste! Plastic = bad!

I’ve been using these Bubba straws for years. We get them at WalMart actually. I needed more so we found them here on Amazon. They r a thick rubber, very flexible and can go in the dishwasher, so it actually saves money in the long run. Bubba straws are real long, so not good for a short cup. I suppose they could be cut if u wanted, I don’t see why not, they’re just rubber. I personally don’t care for super skinny straws. I recommend this product to anyone who prefers using straws, and they are dishwasher safe so a big plus!

Is as described. Straws work well for liquids. For use with thicker items like smoothies, you might have some difficulty. As other reviewer commented, due to the material they pick up hair and dust easily. However, a quick rinse under water resolves this issue. These straws are cheap enough that I consider them a good buy. I push them through the spout of a travel mug since they are flexible. Great for travel since they bend and are soft. Overall I would recommend unless your sole use will be milkshakes and smoothies. They are still usable but just more difficult for those thicker items.

Well, I wouldn't say I "love" these, But can't beat the price as an Amazon Add-on Item. I bought a Big Bubba a year ago and, like your typical American, drank sweetened soft drinks out of it. I cleaned the original straw fairly often by running soapy water thru it. But perhaps not often enough. After noticing some back stuff forming on a cup seal of another famous tumbler and getting that off with a mild bleach solution, I decided to inspect my original Big Bubba straw. Yikes! I was horrified to see some back stuff in the straw, where it got a little pinched as it passed through the drinking hole. I tried cleaning it, but I probably made the mistake of pouring boiling hot water through the straw, which probably expanded the pores in the straw and forever locked the black mold/mildew/whatever in the rubber. No other solution but to buy a new straw. (Well, I did have large "Tritan" straw that fit. But it's rigid and I like the flexible rubber straw. (Less traumatic while sipping in a vehicle if you lurch.)) "Now, where would someone find straws for a Big Bubba?" I asked myself. To my surprise, Amazon had them. And not only one, but this 5 pack for some ridiculously low price. Even though I'll try to clean my new straw more often, I'll probably get the mold problem again. But at least I have five years of replacement straws.

Colors apparently vary. Nice straws but I was hoping for the dark purple color. It had black instead.

I have a special needs child that has difficulty drinking out of an open cup. I bring these straw when we go out to places like the zoo or aquarium that do not provide straws. It is super flexible so it fits easily in my pocket(inside a sandwich bag), but it also pops right back to a long shape. It is wider than most straws, so you can drink more. That also makes it easier to sick liquid through. They also hold up to some chewing and are durable and easy to clean! Overall great reusable straws with or without a Bubba cup.

I love straws and these are an absolutely perfect fit for my 52 ounce (and smaller) Bubba mugs and the colors match them, too. I have been using them for almost 2 years now, and only last week did the one I use daily become unusable (but that was MY fault, I'm mad at myself for it lol). Today I purchased this color set because it's about half the price of the bright colors that match my cups. As you can see, I wouldn't hesitate to buy them again. TIP: get a brush to clean them with and do so often. Bubba Brands sells one (I haven't tried it as I think it's a bit expensive) or find another in the right size. I use the Extra-Long 16 Inch x 1/2 Inch Bottle Brush - Stiff Natural Boar's Hair that costs less than $3 (I was concerned about the end being sharp, but I have had NO issues with it at all). I put a push pin in the wall next to the sink and just hang it on that. To wash, use hot tap water & soap. The hot water "loosens" the material a bit and makes using a cleaning brush much easier.
