Parxara Paper Straws Christmas Drinking Party 150Pcs with Paper Packaging Bulk Drinking Straws Decorations for Birthday Wedding Baby Shower Valentine in Bright Rainbow Color Striped

Decent quality paper straws in a variety of 6 colours.Colours are not overly bold, but some are a bit stronger than 'pastel' shades. Printed with 'food safe ink'.Worth noting that these have a 'Caution' advice on the box against using them in hot drinks. Is that because the straws will go soggy and loose their shape with a hot liquid, or because the straw colours will run into the drink?Actual length of the straws are 19.7cm.--------------------We've also ordered these:  150 Pack Paper Drinking Straws Rainbow and Candy Series for Everyday,Party,Wedding,Celebration. (Rainbow) which are the same straws as above but for about £3 cheaper - BUT will take a lot longer (from China) to arrive - and we couldn't wait that long. If you don't mind the wait and the fact that they are internally separated by clear plastic bags.....---------------------UPDATE: 5-6 weeks after purchase, the identical (& cheaper) straws from China finally arrived. There was no cardboard box, just 6 packets of plastic wrapped straws inside a thin grey plastic mailing bag. Result = two thirds of the straws arrived squashed. (Unfortunately, I'm unable to review these other straws directly because the wonderful unbiased Amazon won't publish a negative review if it relates to packaging!)I strongly suggest you stick to the ones being offered here (fulfilled by Amazon). The cheaper price difference buying directly from China isn't worth the extra wait, the damaged straws .. or the extra plastic!---------------------I originally gave this a 4 star review. A loss of 1 star based on the fact that there was better value for money (for the same product) elsewhere (directly from China) on Amazon.Having experienced both products, the review for this listing is now upped to 5 stars!

My boys love these!! Great alternative to their useable plastic straws - they have asked for more of these. One thing I would recommend you doing is maybe putting them in a container or cover the bottom of the box with something just in case they get put on a wet surface and all the straws become wet.

A blast from my past. They are not as strong or as durable as plastic straws but they will last for a drink even with young children chewing the ends, and will hardly break the bank if more are needed. More importantly they are, without doubt, infinitely better for the environment which is why most cafes, bars and fast food outlets are switching from plastic to paper.

These paper straws are sturdy and arrive in a box instead of cellophane. Environmentally friendly product and packaging. Nice selection of colours. Our son will not use plastic straws since he has been using these paper straws as he finds them more comfortable to drink through too.

These are stylish, eco friendly and exactly as described. Perfect for a wedding or party. I just use them at home, and they are exactly the ones you'd find in any restaurant or bar. As with any paper straws, they go a bit soggy towards the end.. But overall, I'm pleased with these !

Once again, this is another product which has no factory seal. In this case hygiene is essential, but the straws come in a cardboard box without a seal or tamper proof design. Unbelievable for online products to be delivered this way, if it was like this in a shop at least you can choose whether to buy or not. All items need information about whether they are factory sealed in the product information.

I have to use a straw to drink with. I like my tea hot these started to disintegrate very quickly all so they don’t bend. I wanted to be green but gone back to plastic ones.

Loved the colours and the fact that they’re biodegradable. The only thing that let them down was how long they remained functional. Perhaps that could be worked upon.
