RAINIER Smoothie Drinking Straws | Extra Wide Reusable Stainless Steel Metal | Jumbo Size for Thick, Chunky, Frozen Drinks & Boba Tea | Set of 4 with Comfort Tips, Cleaning Brush (Angled, 3/8Wx8.5L)

I love it that these are dishwasher safe and big enough to use for a root beer float or a smoothie. I dipped the end of the straws in vegetable oil, and the tips slid right on with no problem. I feel like they are really sanitary when the come from the dishwasher, and I drink from them confidently.

I LOVE these. Best ones I've ever bought. I've been a stainless steel straw enthusiast for a long time. I got the 3/8 x 8.5 with a bend. The bend is perfect. I will be ordering another set that are 9.5 long. I'd like them a tad longer for my quart jars, but the 8.5 are great for my kids' pint jars. Thick green smoothie just glides through them. The silicone sleeve is a nice touch and helps my kids know which jar is theirs.

I love them for smoothies, but am disappointed that they don’t work with boba tea. I really love the silicone tips tho!

these straws are fine for smoothies and shakes, but the diameter of the opening is not big enough for cut jelly in a drink, or large boba.

Just what I was looking for. Read many reviews on SS straws and searched for the perfect smoothie/water/iced coffee straw.So I ordered these and two of them wouldn’t fit the lids of the 22 Oz Dunkin Donuts sports tumbler used for iced coffee and the 32oz Bubba tumbler used for water which actually came with a silicone straw. So I remembered reading in some review awhile ago about improvising how to fit a SS straw into a small opening in a plastic lid and HARK! The trick worked! As shown in a pic I used a fire starter lighter and lit the lid opening for only a second or so. You’ll slightly smell plastic after which you quickly insert the SS straw and work back/forth and the straw will fit. I can remove it when finished and wash it nicely. So don’t hestitate to purchase if your tumbler with lid doesn’t fit this straw. Just don’t have your children around to see you lite a lid! And only do it for a second or so.Also love the color coded silicone tips to use in each tumbler. I also use the Ninja tumbler suppplied with blender for the smoothies.

We love these extra wide metal straws! My family and I make a lot of smoothies and often go out for boba tea so we needed something wide enough for the tapioca pearls to fit through and these were just the perfect size. The comfort tips weren't necessary but they are nice to have so you don't bump your teeth on the metal, which I've done before lol. Overall, the quality is great and they are also great for the environment so no more plastic straws for us!

The website description states that these straws are 9.5 inches long, and 3/8 inch in diameter. While the length appears to be an accurate value, the diameter is not. The true diameter of these straws is 5/16 inch. This is a difference of 1/16 inch, or 16.7%, of the expected value. I'm returning them and purchasing the 9.5 inch x 1/2 inch straws.

These are easy to clean and use. The bent design helps when sitting back. Only caution is not to put it to your mouth quickly and hit your teeth. With soft, plastic straws, it's easy to hit teeth or chew on the end. It takes changing some habits to use metal straws, but really effective in the long run.
