Can you close the straw hole?

No, you cannot close the hole that is on top of the cup top, but the straw itself does have a plastic cover on it.

The lid has an opening that will fit a straw that opens and closes. Doesn't come with a straw.

The hole is a cross opening that is closed until a straw is pushed through. The ordinary striped straws from the grocery store bend and are difficult to push through. A sturdy straw can go through with no trouble.

No, the straw would have to bend around a stopper mechanism that would render the straw ineffective, and it won't fit through the stopper opening.

There isn't any way to close the top, that said it has a very small slit like a Sippy cup. I found that only a small amount of liquid will come out if you would knock it over mine rolled over until it found an air pocket and then the slit is on top so that stops the leak. I would buy the product again

Yes. You can pull the short straw out from the under side of the lid. When putting back in, there is a little groove that pops back in. Just make sure it's lined up and you will feel the "click" when it's in place. I remove and run through dishwasher frequently. Very simple to take apart and put together. Hope this helps. I have 2 of these cups and love them! My daughter has been using them since she was about 12 mo (now 2).

It's not a good idea to put a straw into the top cause you have to keep holding the button in order to have the hole to stay open.

No, once you remove the straw, the hole is wide open. However, I've knocked the full cup over several times with the straw in, and almost no liquid spilled. And there's no valve or anything on the straw. So I doubt you'd spill very much at all if you knocked it over WITHOUT the straw in, if that's what you're worried about.

You could very likely stuff a plastic straw through the drinking hole as long as the straw was flexible and could squeeze a little oblong sure.

No, only a hole to drink from. But I had same thermos for 20+ years before the lid started to leak so if they are made even half as well you'll get plenty of use out of it. But no hole for a straw!!

Yes. You twist the top part and the straw retracts to keep liquid from spilling out.

No I'm sorry you can not get a straw through the opening, it is more of a slit on top rather then a hole as an opening ~ Trish

Yes. Each straw will bend at the accordion looking area only. The rest of the straw cannot bend.

Yes, a standard plastic straw will fit through the drinking slot. It's not a hole specifically for this purpose, but it will definitely work.

You should be able to if you disconnect the seal system - like you do when you clean it. You will have a hole in the other side of the lid directly across from the straw. The cup is made for left or right hand. I did try this with a plastic straw. Note that the seal may touch the straw and make it hard to remove as you pull it out. You may have to open the lid and pull the seal back to remove the straw.

You can, but then you won't be able to close it. The opening is sort of a flat bottomed oval shape, 1/2" X 1/4". Hope this helps.

I believe you can remove the straw from the bottom of the lid but then you'd need to remove the lid in order to drink from it. I wouldn't remove the part of the straw that is above the lid because it wouldn't keep your drink warm or cold.
