2 Pack Reusable Metal Straws Collapsible Stainless Steel Drinking Straw Travel Portable Telescopic Straw with Case for Cruise Ship Essentials Black/Rose Gold

Very please with construction and function
I have other stainless straws but these are my first collapsible. I like these better than the ones I have because of the larger overall diameter. The length is just fine with a 30 oz. Yeti and the diameter is adequate for a smoothie. I anticipated a compromise in use from air leaking at the seams and expected metal on metal grinding when fully extending. There’s none of that. I’m guessing there’s a bushing or o-ring at each section preventing that but I’m not willing to dissect mine to find out! The quality of the straw, case, key ring, carabiner are all better quality than expected. The two brushes also telescope so you can carry them inside the straw. While adequate for on the go, they’re kind of sparce. I clean mine at home with a better brush. I of course washed them before use and there’s zero metal taste. Taking heed of reviewers who lost theirs from the bottom unscrewing (that it does is a nice touch for periodic cleaning) I applied Loctite Blue to the bottom threads and I haven’t had an issue. Being stainless, they do conduct heat/cold and it would be nice if they came with a silicone tip. I added one from the handful I got with my first stainless straws and cut it down so it fits when collapsed inside the case. I keep one in my golf bag so I won’t have to use styrofoam and a plastic straw each round. I keep the other in my car and feel good about not using a plastic straw each time I hit a drive thru. The case fits easily in my pocket when dining out. I’m sure these won’t last forever and at the end of their service I’ll buy these again…and then find out what makes them operate so smoothly and efficiently.

Pretty good straw
The case for the straw seems pretty sturdy. No issues yet. Pulling the straw to it’s full length had more resistance than I imagined. But that is probably a good thing so it keeps a good suction over time. The only negative I have at this time is the key ring is super thin. I’m not expecting that to last or be durable. It’s as thin as the temporary key rings on key sets when you purchase small locks (like a diary lock or luggage lock). Unfortunately, it looks like that is the only size key ring that will fit in the straw container, preventing me from adding it directly on to my own key ring.Other than that, the only way this straw case could improve is if they made the case multifunctional. How? IDK. Maybe redesign to fit the straw and cleaner into one of those “prevent assault” type cylinder tubes.UPDATE: Key ring works out good enough. My only real complaint is that the end cap falls off. I’ve lost two straws already because of this. And when I say end cap, I mean the case for the straw opens at both ends. The end on the opposite end of the key chain part tends to come loose often. I am unsure why they would design it like this except to maybe be able to clean the case’s inside better. I ended up using tape to keep it from loosening. Which works fine. I wouldn’t have lost the second straw if it wasn’t for my youngest removing the tape (I have a dot of super glue and just keep it permanently closed on the bottom end.)

Loved it so much that I bought more!
I bought one set and gave one of those two straws to a friend. We both loved them so much that I bought another set for us to split. We both find cold drinks wonderfully cold when using these straws. They are also easy to take when eating out, and we feel good about keeping a few more plastic straws out of the trash. The clip is great for keeping the straw from getting lost in a purse or bag. We decided we wanted second straws, so I bought another set. We plan to use the second straws at home, especially since drinking with a straw is better for your teeth [less staining from coffee or tea, for example]. The cleaning brush is a great bonus, and the case is well made and easy to clean. We love the rose gold! The only negative is that the cleaning brush can easily get bent at the neck of the brush where it connects to the handle. Now, when putting it away, put the brush in the straw before collapsing them and push from the thick end of the brush to close them up. I also leave the brush at home as I won’t be cleaning the straw in the restaurant anyway. All in all, these are great straws — strong, well-made, convenient, easy to use — that I will use for years!

Better than the sugar straw’s
Item comes handy when cruising.

These are great thank you

Alles in Ordnung!

Love the convenience of having a straw on me at all times and don’t have to use a dirty cup or can.
