What is the purpose of having 2 parts to the straws? Why not just 1 piece?

It's so much easier to clean the straws when I take them apart. And its super nice if I give my kids a short cup not to have a really big straw. We've had these for a few years now and I still love them and they look new. Great product!

It's easier to clean with the angle. Angle is perfect for Sick kids drying to drink lying down. No regrets getting these!

I like that I can really clean these straws in two pieces. If you have a really short glass, the straight piece works. For extra tall glasses, I've put two end pieces on each end of the straw to make the straw long enough to reach the bottom of my glass. Hope that helps.

1. It makes it easier to clean.2. Not all cups are tall enough to warrant a full straw. This way you can pop the blue part off for shorter cups and not have the cup tip over.

No, the other hole is for venting. Straw cups are labeled as such and sold separately.

You just use one, the second is a spare. It goes inside the silver top, all the way against the top. It's a gasket to prevent leaking.

I don't think you do. I'm pretty positive that's all one attached piece. If it has mold, try removing the filter and running a cleaning solution up through the straw.

They are 2 part straws. Top is about 3.5", bottom piece is 5.75" and assembled about 9.25". They are wonderfully simple to clean and my kids can't hurt them if they try. These straws are a staple in our house.

It is two pieces but they are joined by plastic pieces that run almost the entire height of the tea stand on each end. I don't think it is meant to be separated - you would have to break the green plastic pieces on each end. I don't know if there is anything else holding the two sides together. If you want something for the wall I don't think this is the right tea caddy for you. Mine sits on the counter and I love having it. It holds lots of tea and looks cute.

The purpose is to flow each male separately to female depending on valve handle position. If you are wanting to use it as a manual mixing valve then half way on the handle will cause both males to flow to the female at the same time, but the flow rate from either male is much reduced. The combined flow may be significantly less than either one by itself. One male is not quite shut off before the other opens.

There is one for each cup. Just a word of advice. Don't put the straw in the lid before putting the lid on the cup. It forms a very tight seal and a shot of liquid will be forced up the straw and squirt out. (Of course, the kid thinks this is great!) A work-around would be to pull the straw out just far enough so that the bottom of the straw will be above the liquid when you put the top on.

There are 2 pieces, I was used to 3. I still have to use a very small part of an old filter to fit to the end.

Hi Charles, Yes, they are supposed to be 2 pieces. The little top is supposed to come completely off the larger piece and sort of float on top of the larger while boiling. The whole idea is to let the boiler-over bubble, as it will, while the little top is still covering it, well, floating over it ... :-) Hope that helps.

Just one, it is attached and snaps up. Inside the cap is the plastic straw.

Not simply a question of capping. Designed as a single piece. Cannot be safely split into two. Would not be safe or stable. Not recommended.

i think you question is, can you buy just the straw top and screw it onto the bottom of the sippy cup. I dont know, but I think the sippy is a little shorter. I've never seen just the top. I once tried to buy a replacement straw for the straw cupt, but you had to buy the whole silicon piece and it was $7.

One lid & straw per cup. It's not the cheap straws, it's a think plastic, you could wash & reuse them also.

There is a small top part to the straw, that if your child were to unscrew the cups lid and pull the straw apart, it could be a choking hazard. I haven't read the review you are talking about but that's the only part I can think of that could pose a risk. However, I never even considered it a choking hazard. Also, having a 2-piece straw is not uncommon for this type of bottle (our CamelBack bottles have something similar but better/bigger).

Yes!!!! For that reason I will never buy again. I have two they both pop out. U really need to shove straw in to get it to stay slightly longer
