Do you have to use the straw?

No you do not have to use the straw, the insert is a good size for drinking out of.

Absolutely not . My husband never uses the straw and I always do. I don't care for the straw that comes with it ,so I'll use one from McDonald's .et al. W love these pitchers .I believe we've bought 4 or 5 from Amazon .l We make sure there's always a clean 1 or 2. . Sandy Hathway

No, you do not have to use the straw, in fact the ones I got did not include a straw. It has a drinking hole and a air hole in the top. It has a cover that rotates to cover the holes. It is not a very good mug for trying to use a straw because the drinking hole is not round.

This does not come with a straw. There is a hole for drinking where you can put a straw.

mine did not have a straw, just a spout to drink from . This type works better than straw ones for me.

Nope! The straw is attached to the lid. We bought a zippy cup straw cleaner as well. Hope that helps!

It will not work without the straw. Even if the straw is misaligned or not fully inserted it does not work.

The ball part of the straw can be pulled off. If you feel comfortable, you can take the ball off and cut the straw to the appropriate length and reinsert the ball. (I haven't tried this myself, but plan to for my 6 oz cup.

Yes. We quit using the straw, but now the gasket has come off and is incredibly hard to put back on. Now the cup leaks so cannot be used. Disappointed in this cup.

Yes. The straw is large and easy to be used. The temperature of the drinks is manteined too.

No, you use the straw system that goes up your pants and shirt. It's awesome!

No. But I feel it's impossible to get bacteria out of a straw, so I don't use reusable straws.

I believe it depends on where you buy it. I bought one with the straw and one without. I like both. I actually enjoy the aroma of the one I open and finds it adds to my enjoyment. I use the other when Im working out or on my bike. The one pictured appears to have the straw.

No. We recomend using our bendable silly straw.(sold seperately) Also try our disguise a can or our disguise a bottle when you need to be descreet about what you eat!

Use one mouth piece for yourself. If you are considering having others use it, a straw works through the mouth piece. This will save you money on purchasing additional mouth pieces.

no straw. you press the side of the cap for flow - when you let go - it resealsreally does keep drinks colder than any other insulated bottle we've tried

No, but there is some straw included that you can insulate it with (it does a fair but not great job).

I don't want to try very hot drinks because of the straw. like people never use straw to drink hot water.

You can unscrew the two part lid, but you can't separate the two parts -- nor do you need to. The lid with the top part of the straw fits nicely in dishwasher, or can be washed easily by hand.
