set_of_61I have had a good while to use these since I received them before running the Earth Day giveaway.  My sample pack included 1 Beautiful Bends, 1 Decorative Dots & 1 Simple Elegance with cleaning brushes.  I must say these have done wonderful in the dishwasher and I have yet to need the brushes. The Simple Elegance came in a larger size, it would probably do well for smoothies or milkshakes, but since I don’t drink either I haven’t used it much.  The Beautiful Bends I have used occasionally, but it’s more for a tall glass which I also don’t use often.  However, the Decorative Dots has gotten its wear and tear! (Do I sound like I’m making up my own version of the 3 little bears?? LOL)  These straws making sipping your drink so sophisticated! Although, it isn’t the end all answer to the removal of all plastic, like a reusable shopping bag, it’s one more difference you can make to help the environment. I have really LOVED the opportunity to try out these straws!

    I like the Simple Elegance style. The Dots are pretty, but I would feel the need to coordinate them with my glasses and it would just not work for me. I love that they also offer the brushes to clean them and cozies and hard cases to protect them.

    The decorative dots are my favorite. I know my kids would enjoy these. They love drinking out of straws. I love that they have a cleaning brush. We have some reusable straws but they get yucky and I throw them out since I don’t have a good way to clean them. Great idea!!!

    I love the straw cozies. I was wondering how I would store my glass straws and protect them, should I be lucky enough to win! As far as the straws go, the bendy ones are my favorite.

    I like the decorative dots. I think my kids would use them because its more of a hip thing with color and the fact they wont roll would be a very nice safty feature to have.

    I like the decorative dots. I could use them to tell who’s glass is who’s. I almost always find someone drinking out of my glass. Which sorta bugs me.
