Webake Paper Straws Biodegradable Bulk 200 Red Striped Drinking Straws, Great Alternative Disposable Straws to Plastic Straws Eco Friendly Straw for Valentine's Day Party, Cake Pop Sticks

Now that summer has arrived, my mind turns to fruit and veggie slushies and I need straws. I looked for non-plastic straws online and settled on paper because they are available in the length and diameter that I want. These Webake Paper Straws are 7.75 inches long and 0.39 inches in diameter, according to the labeling. The length is actually 7 7/8 inches (20 cm); the diameter is 1 cm (10mm). I don't think they're quite fat enough for boba tea, but they are perfect for slushies, smoothies, Slurpees, and Frappuccinos. They come in a box. I chose the White straws instead of the barber pole colors because I wondered if the dye would come off in my mouth or in the drink if the straw sat in liquid for a long time. And white goes with everything. These are sturdy straws. The thickness is like paperboard. They do soften as they sit in your drink, but it doesn't affect usability. They actually get softer at the end you put in your mouth, but they never disintegrate. I left a straw in a glass of water for 12 hours as an experiment. The part of the straw in the water softened but held its shape; the water did not travel far up the straw so half of it remained dry. The whole thing dried out nearly as good as new after I removed it from the water. I find that the straws do get softer, faster in my fruit slushies than in water, which might be due to the acids in the fruit. But these work very well and you don't have to worry that your paper straw is going to fall apart. I like them a lot. Made in China.

Fun color for summer event, quality as expected.

These biodegradable straws are great ! I bought the cute stripped paper straws to cut back on our daily use of sooooo much plastic. I thought they’d be good for one use but then become flimsy and soggy by the end of drinking. Not true - these are extremely durable !! So much so, I used them when I made cake pops for a family get together. Perfect ! I think these are great, durable, and I highly recommend these straws. :)

These straws are absolutely amazing. I purchased them to look pretty in my coffee bar, and was not disappointed. They are more durable than any paper straw I’ve ever used, hands down. I left a straw in my water cup overnight, and in the morning it was still firm. Good for the environment, and strong paper is perfect in my book! Very happy customer and will purchase again.

Very thick and good quality

These straws were a perfect accent to our party theme and the wide size worked great for slushes. They are more durable than you would expect for a paper straw and held up to multiple refills without getting soft or disintegrating. The price was slightly high, I could have purchased the same product in a different color for several dollars less. Overall, a fun addition to our party.

Ordered this for a graduation party! They came in a great re-sealable bag and were very easy to use. They did not come apart super quickly and worked well with our Italian Soda Bar. It rained the night after the party and these were forgotten on the outside bar, because of the great re-sealable system, they did not get wet and we did not have to throw them out!

It was so fun using these straws for crafting. Hot glue held them just fine. The paper weight is just right, won’t split open. Didn’t use the with liquids.

For smoothies it is perfect

Love these! Added flair to my party. Good quality.

Perfect!

Very sturdy. Even for milkshakes
