Drinking straws
What is a drinking straw?
A drinking straw can help you easily sip your drink without spilling any liquid or needing to lift and tip your cup.
Straws are great if you have sensitive teeth or gums, or if you have fatigue, pain, wrist weakness, lack of arm strength, a hand tremor, or limited dexterity.
They are also helpful if you are finding drinking difficult, if you have swallowing difficulties, or oral-motor difficulties.
