The soft silicone straw is really easy to drink through, so little hands dont have to tip the cup so far to drink from it. The straw flips down to stay clean and prevent spills handy when youre out and about or want to avoid mess at home. The soft straw on this cup is smooth and gentle on gums, even when your baby is teething. Were gentle on you too: all our cups are dishwasher safe (on the top shelf), can be sterilised in the microwave, and have interchangeable parts.
