Beautiful, Eco Friendly, Fun! | Great Straws
Recently, I've become more environmentally conscious. Horror stories about "the great Pacific garbage patch", increased extreme weather events, and habitat destruction have convinced me I need to do my part. However, it's difficult to start a new habit. While I'm making some changes, I know I'm not doing everything I need to as a steward of our environment. I've been looking for some simple strategies that will make a difference, and one of these has been to reduce my reliance on single-use plastics. As you might expect, I was delighted when I saw this pack of glass straws from Ninth Calico! Not only are they really pretty, they are also reusable - no more plastic straws for this household!Features I Love:• These are absolutely beautiful! They are perfect for use at any occasion, from casual snack-time to sit-down family dinners, cocktail hour, and parties. I love the assortment of colors offered. I chose "Ocean Eyes", which has an assortment of blues, greens, and clear shades. They remind me of beach glass! The colors are vibrant and clean. You can match them to your glassware, dining room, or kitchen - or do what I did and select your favorite colors. The fun curvy design also makes sips more enjoyable.• The straws are very well made and designed to last. The glass is thick and resistant to fracture. I accidentally dropped a couple in the sink while washing but none were damaged. I'm confident that these will hold up with frequent use.• Free from plastics and weird chemicals. No more worrying whether what you're using is safe for yourself and your family.• Easy to wash. I prefer to hand-wash my dishes and only use the dishwasher for big jobs. These are very easy to clean with just warm water and a little gentle dish soap. The package includes two cleaning brushes that can remove any residue and get the straws sparkling clean inside and out.• No more trash! These reusable glass straws help reduce the amount of household waste. They are the perfect replacement for disposable straws.• I consider this set excellent value for money. Your order includes 10 glass straws and 2 cleaning brushes. The price is significantly lower than some other brands and the quality is excellent.

Fun to use and they look cool too
These glass straws are pretty cool to drink out of the gym and a whole bunch of different colors and are just fun to use they're pretty long and they're pretty thick they came with a cleaning brush and easy to clean they appear to be pretty good quality I mean I accidentally dropped mine on the counter and it didn't break so it's got to be pretty durable and they look cool too

unique colours and shapes, cleaning brush included, nice mouthfeel
These are absolutely gorgeous. the wavy pattern sets them apart from typical glass straws. they are thick and somewhat durable. I like them. they are not that hard to clean. bit more challenging that straight straws but if you don't want to use the included brush, just put them in the dishwasher (gently of course).

Practical
I used to always use plastic straws as bad as it was for the environment. I am very happy to say that I've learned quite a bit about being a better human. Recycling and purchasing products for a cause and that will last is very important. These are amazing because they can be used in hot and cold drinks. I love that they're also dishwasher safe. And I also love the fact that it comes with its own cleaning brushes to get inside. It only takes a couple of seconds before you put it in the dishwasher and you're good. They come in really cool colors that I love. And of course they're wavy. I have no idea why but it's cool and different. I feel like I'm helping the environment and doing my part by not wasting plastic straws everyday from coffees and smoothies. It's amazing how much waste I was contributing. These are well worth the investment and last a long time. I definitely recommend.

Rich colors!
The colors are so rich and beautiful! I ordered the “Twilight” color set and was so excited to use them! The only downside, is I’m afraid of breaking them. They’re not particularly “thin”, but I’m not sure how to best store these to keep them safe enough once they’re out of the disposable package.I do love that they come with brushes to easily clean them, and overall I think they’d also make a great gift set for someone.

Thick glass feels safer! Banana milk's ok. Waves ride on rim, reducing roll. Clean with caution.
These are very pretty! The colors are still transparent enough to clean them thoroughly. The glass is pretty thick and makes us think these might not shatter at first opportunity. Yey!Their inner diameter's small, not for chunky smoothies. Banana milk works just fine! Yet, this glass has a very decent thickness. We think that makes them much less likely to shatter, especially when cleaning the waves from banana milk.The wave pattern seats itself neatly on the rim of glasses with various heights. They roll around less than other glass/metallic straws!• Cleaning works, with patience:When sipping water, we usually just rinse hot.Two brushes included, durable quality. Take gentle force to push through waves.Tips covered but their metal core might still scrape, so please use caution and controlled push. Glass may break easier when scratched.♥ Do half from up/half down to avoid excess stress!• Approximate dimensions:0.14" inner, 0.31" outer diameter,0.07" glass thickness,8.8" length,0.75" width when storing
