    One piece of silicon that will last thousands of uses vs entire straw of single use plastic each time.

      Yeah, you’re definitely correct that it’s better than single use plastics, but silicone has the potential to leach into liquids.

      And to be clear, single use plastic straws have more of a risk of leaching than silicone. Stainless steel does not have this risk.
