If your little one is ready to graduate from their bottle or sippy to a straw cup, we’ve got great news for you! Our product line has officially expanded to include a new silicone drinking straw: the Kiki Kiddo Straw™! While our customers love our Original Straw, we decided to answer popular demand to bring you an additional option that can meet your needs and those of your little goldilocks!

To help you discover the difference between the two, we’ve created a helpful guide with all the info. Keep reading to find the straw that’s just right!

How Old Is Your Little One?

Which silicone straw is perfect for your little one? While the Original straw is valved to limit flow, the new Kiki Kiddo Straw™ is designed without a valve for an effortless, consistent flow rate. The narrow diameter of our new straw makes it right for little ones ages six months to five years. So, if you are trying a straw (or straw bottle) for the first time, or are looking for a freer-flowing straw than our Original toddler straw, we recommend trying the new Kiki Kiddo Straw™. For older kids who want to take bigger sips, size up to our Big Mouth® Silicone Sport Straw!

How Do You Feel About Leaks?

When it comes to leaks, we’ve got you covered! We are proud to say all Pura straws are leak free! While the Original straw features a valved tip to prevent spills, the Kiki Kiddo Straw™ uses physics! We have designed the free flowing Kiki Kiddo Straw™ so that liquid only flows when your child is actively drinking. If the bottle is tipped over, liquid cannot escape. Unlike other free-flowing straws, we have designed ours without the leaks! So, if you think your little one would like an effortless sipping experience, we’d say go with the Kiki Kiddo Straw™!

What Are They Made Of?

We only offer 100% medical grade silicone straws that are completely plastic-free, lead-free, BPA-free, BPS-free, EA-free, PP-free, polypropylene-free, and phthalate-free — so you never have to worry about the health of your little one! Since they contain absolutely zero plastic, you can rest assured they will not contain micro-plastic either!

How Do They Work?

We want to make sure that your bottles will last a lifetime. That’s why both straws are compatible with our 5oz, 9oz, 11oz, and 16oz and 18oz bottles. Both straws feature a two piece design that allows kids to drink upright when the straight straw is attached, or by tipping the bottle up with straight straw removed!

Which Straw Makes Cleaning a Breeze?

As parents, we know you need all of the extra time you can get. That’s why our two piece designs make both straws incredibly easy to clean. However, to make it even simpler, our Kiki Kiddo Straw™ includes a cleaning brush too!

At Pura Stainless, we know that plastic straws are a no-go for the health of your little one and the planet. That’s why we continue to innovate eco-friendly products that grow with your child.
