Are the straws soft or hard?

It's a very soft straw but it falls inside the cup very often. In regards to the top part, it can poke your child in the face. I end up losing this sippy cup.

I did not use this cup. I was not comfortable with the design. I was afraid the the stuff sticking out at the top would poke my child in the face. I highly recommend the Phillips Avent Straw cup!!!

The straws have hard plastic stoppers built in, they are NOT moveable. They are a LOT closer to the bottom (not really in the middle at all). An the stopper sits in the cup so that the straw doesn't come flying out.

Both. The part of the straw that goes in the mouth (and also folds down into the lid for travel and storage) is soft. The straw that sits in the liquid inside the cup is hard. The hard portion detaches from the lid easily for cleaning. We've taken ours all over the place and washed it in the dishwasher countless times. It's in great shape. It hardly shows any wear, unlike other drinking items we've purchased that are partially made of that softer plastic. Hope this helps!

Yes, you can consider them a very firm plastic. Hard as in durable - not breakable. They are quite sturdy. I have been using them regularly for a few years, and they are still in perfect condition. Hope this helps.

The bristles are fairly soft but firm enough to do a good job on the teeth. I've been using them for over two years and haven't had any gum problems so they aren't too firm. Hope this helps you.

These straws are hard acrylic, but I haven't had any break during the three months I've had them, even with daily use at a childcare center.

I think you mean thick walled? They are a hard plastic, they don't bend like disposable straws. Also they are the same diameter as a "regular" straw, just longer so they fit in tall 20oz tumblers.

I'd say they are firm but not hard. They are great for my soft wood floors.

The straws are stainless steel and are a silver color. I am very happy with them. Well worth the money spent.

They are stainless and the diameter is that of a normal drinking straw. Mine are bent. Wish they were a little longer.

They are soft. The ones we bought broke within 2 weeks. Disappointing to say the least.

No, they are rigid, but they have detailing on them that looks like a bendy straw.

They are not soft rubber. Soft enough to be able to push the legs into the cups and the cups are very sturdy and look great on the chairs and tables legs.

They are fairly hard. They can be indented with my thumb just a little. I use them to carry soy sprays in my lunch bag so they are pretty durable. They do ship from China so the ship time is a couple weeks.

Bought this for my Granddaughter & I think it is only a soft straw cup. There is a youtube video about it you can watch.

If you really want to make these bottles work, you could use a thin exact type knife and score out the valve on the inside of the straw, coming in from the top. Cutting out the two pieces that are about 1/2" from the top would remove the restriction from inside. As you wash these bottles though, the rubber becomes softer and you'll get more flow anyway. However, if your kiddo is at the point where he's needing more volume out of the straw, you may want to look for a bottle that has a hard straw. Now that mine is a little older, we use cups with lids and a hard straw that has a rubber ring around it to keep it sealed. Nuby soft tops aren't known to be long lasting bottles after all. Good luck!
