200 Count 8.25" Eco-friendly Bendable Compostable PLA Straws - KTOB Plasticless Biodegradable Flexible Drinking Straws

We have been using these straws for quite awhile. I make iced lattes in the morning, and the straws are perfect for that, with their bend at the top. Our family has been making an effort in many small ways to move away from plastic use, whenever possible. These straws are one small way to do that. They hold up in all kinds of drinks, and seem just like a plastic straw, but they’re not. They are biodegradable & compostable. For us, they are the perfect straw! Why buy plastic straws when you can buy these?

I really like these biodegradable straws because they’re flexible, sturdy, and don’t get soggy quickly. They work great for smoothies, juices, and iced drinks, and I love that they’re a plastic-free option that helps reduce waste.

These 7.75 inch straws are opaque white. The length has fit into every drinking container that I have used. I love that there is no plastic. The straw can be in a container of water all day and does not degrade. So the biodegradable part must happen in a longer time. I will continue to buy them. Great product.

These are amazing straws. They can be washed and used more than once. The longer length is nice.

These work well. I hope they really are compostable.

These are great. Soft on teeth. Dentist approves. They are biodegradable.

We have been trying every kind and brand of straw we could find to replace plastic, single-use straws. This is the only brand that really works! My daughter has an autoimmune disease with a disability with neurological and physical disabilities. She is on medications to suppress immunity. In order to give her independence and lower exposures, she needs disposable items but using plastic made her feel guilty. We tried paper straws but most dissolved or leeched dye. Then we stumbled on these in a recommendation from Amazon. These straws are amazing! You can’t tell they are plastic free. I have put them through the test. I left them in tea, coffee, soda pop juice and water for more than TWO DAYS and they were still intact. They even survived thirty seconds in the microwave and a day in the freezer. I used boiling hot coffee, cold liquids. These outperformed plastic! They still stayed intact for days. I was convinced after all that they could not be compostable. I was wrong. We buried them in the garden outside and they were sturdy for days and then poof, decomposing began. They come in a sturdy box, no extra plastic or paper wrapping around each straw. They are the same size as plastic, a milky white color and fit in our standard straw dispensers (we have top and side dispensing). Like plastic, they have the same same reposition-able and extendable bendy section that you can’t get in paper straws. They are sturdy enough to stir a drink with ice. They fit perfectly into our tumblers! I can’t understand why restaurants and hospitals don’t offer these!

I can't taste any difference between these and plastic straws, and I like that these are better for the environment. The length of these straws is perfect to use with a tumbler I use for iced coffee, and I prefer bendable straws over straight straws. I would recommend these straws.

With young kids, paper straws are pretty much useless so I got these for my two boys under 4. According to the box, they are good to 150F (about 65°C) which is much hotter than anything you would want to feed a child and about the peak temperature of municipal compost programs. I decided to test anyway to see if it would disintegrate using 181°F water. It definitely loses it's form but doesn't really disintegrate. The straw remains fully functional even after 5 minutes in this hot water.

After getting my teeth whitened I have to drink everything through a straw, so these are a perfect alternative to plastic straws that leave me feeling guilt free. I'm a huge fan of all compostable alternatives, and I'd absolutely recommend these to anyone else who prefers a plastic substitute. They feel like normal plastic, which is a huge bonus for me who can't stand metal and bamboo straws. I left the straw in my drink overnight and it was still 100% structurally sound unlike paper.

These are not great. If you bend them at the joint they are supposed to bend, they break. The material is very very fragile. Even if you squeeze the slightest bit to grip the straw as you pull it out of the box, it breaks. I do not recommend.
