When Little Man was still drinking out of bottles, he became addicted to drinking out of straws and ever since we have had a drawer full of all sizes and shapes of straws. Through the years, good lord, its been years!!!! where did the time go?, we have learned which straws are good and strong and which ones are weak and get nasty quickly. This took a real long time and I wish we found out about these glass straws from Dharma Glass sooner!

They are straws made of the same glass type Pyrex uses, Borosilicate glass, in order to guarantee strength, clean ability and usability. They can be cleaned in the dishwasher, soaked in warm water, or cleaned with the cleaning brush. The straws are made extra thick and strong so your little ones or big ones won’t hurt themselves. A little tip, try them out next time you are having some adult time with friends, everyone loves watching their frozen drink flow through these brightly colors straws.

The guarantee really is as good as it gets: “If, for any reason you are not satisfied with your purchase, click here for instructions on returning your straw(s). We will issue your choice of an exchange or a refund for the total amount of the items you are returning. (excluding shipping)” The form is a simple one and asks for your invoice, if you have it, the straw itself, packed as best it can be to further prevent breakage and loss of straw in the mail and of course whether you would like a refund or an exchange.

I love how many sizes and shapes that you can get with- the options are endless- there is even a Bubble Tea size- IMPOSSIBLE to find!
My straws are tough- they survived Hurricane Irene, and the company was really cool about everything. I can honestly tell you that I feel good recommending them to you- the people are fabulous and couldn’t be nicer, the straws are high quality and better for the environment then plastic, made in the USA- there is nothing not to love.

One of you will win a $25 gift certificate!
