Rain Straw - Easy Clean Reusable Drinking Straws That Snap Open for Easy Cleaning - No Cleaning Brush or Cleaner Needed - Eco Friendly BPA Free 10.5" long Plastic Straws for Tumbler (Bright, 5 Pack)

I hate hand washing dishes, and my least favorite thing to wash is straws. I also get nervous to use dishwasher safe straws, because it’s so difficult for the dishwasher to actually clean them (I once tasted rotten food in a metal straw, and have since only felt comfortable using see-through plastic straws). Which means that these Rain straws are a lifesaver!I use these Rain straws at least once a day. These straws are everything I was looking for. I was just hoping to find straws that were dis…hwasher safe, the fact that these come apart was a gigantic plus.I find them very easy to take apart and put back together again. The tracks in the two pieces line up perfectly so that the straw is always perfectly flat in the drinking end. This straw is definitely textured, which takes some getting used to. One side is a matte, slightly rough texture, and the other side is smooth and glossy.My only problem is that there is a branded tab towards one end of the straw. I assumed this was to keep your straw from falling through the lid of your cup. But the tab is towards the drinking end of the straw, so if you drop your cup, you risk the straw falling out. And yes, there is a drinking end of the straw. One end of the straw is perfectly flat, and the other end is slanted. This end has to be slanted to take the straws apart, and it’s just really annoying to drink out of. I can feel and hear air bubbles getting into my mouth when I drink from this end. The branded tab also means that you have to take the straw Al the way out of your cup if you’re replacing/removing your lid, which can be a little bit messy.This straw is about the same thickness as any regular plastic reusable straw. I’ve tried it in an insulated tumbler (those cheap ones shaped like a fast food cup) and a Tervis Tumbler. It fits in the lids of both of them, and I’m hoping to buy a Yeti mug soon, so hopefully it will fit in that as well.It is a little thin for non-liquids. I tried drinking a milkshake out of it, and the sprinkles clogged it up, so I had to use a thicker, disposable straw. I haven’t had the chance to try it in smoothies or frappes yet, so I’ll edit this review once I get the chance. If Rain were to make bigger straws for boba and thick drinks, I would buy them in a heartbeat.Overall, I LOVE these straws. I try to use as few single use plastics as I can, and these straws have taken away the only thing I don’t like about washable straws. If you use reusable straws, get these to save yourself the headache of trying to scrub them with a tiny brush.

i have been using these for like 4 years. so worth the money. dishwasher safe too! only straws i use now. so easy to clean, out together and take apart

I've been drinking out of these since 2017 or 2018. It's 2023 now. Really good and durable.

I really like that these come apart so you can be sure they are clean. I had the muted colors and just got the bright colors and they are so cute!

I absolutely love these straws, have been using them for about a year now. They are reusable which is the whole goal, but I've always hated other reusable straws because I was sketched out by if the inside was actually getting clean. These pop apart and can be handwashed or thrown in the dishwasher, and I don't have to worry if it got all the way to the center or if something is still hanging out in there. Cannot recommend enough.

Let me start by saying if you have arthritis or other issues with your hands/fingers, these will probably be difficult to open and close. I find them easy to take apart and put back together but I can see how they'd be difficult. I love these straws! So easy to clean, I never have to worry about hidden gunk being stuck in them. I somehow lost 2 from my first pack so I went and bought another. These are now the only straws I use (with cups from home). I've tried other straws that can be taken a…part and they did not even compare to the Rain straws. Great buy!

I have always been hesitant to buy reusable straws because they are hard to clean, but the Rain Straws are simply amazing! They are super easy to take apart and put back together and only took about a minute to figure out using the directions. I love that I can put them in the top rack of my dishwasher and not have to worry about them not getting clean. The suction while drinking feels like any other straw. Overall, 10/10 recommend for everyone!

These straws are the easiest to clean straw I have ever seen. They function like a regular straw, just a slight bit power due to the two part design, it also has this odd effect of creating two mini streams on the sides due to the channels.It takes a couple times of taking them apart to figure them out.For cleaning if you don’t have a third rack in your washer split them 2/3 down and put them in split side up in your silverware holder.

If you love reusable straws but have anxiety about them not being totally clean on the inside, these are the straws for you! Takes a little practice of pulling them apart and putting them back together but after a few times it’s easy as pie

The straws are tight enough when snapped together so you still get good suction. I wasn’t sure how well the pieces would fit together, but they work great. It’s a little tough to pull them apart and snap them back together, but I’d rather have that than have them fall apart easily. Only cons are that I haven’t figured out how to get them to stop falling in the dishwasher (not sure if they can go on the lower rack along with my utensils) and they have a weird tab at the top that looks a little o…ut of place and isn’t used for taking the straws apart or putting them back together. But definitely not deal breakers for me. So nice to be able to easily clean straws without a gross little brush (and hopefully some day in the dishwasher when I figure that out)
