Our Story
You deserve to know what's touching your drink — and your planet.
Simply Straws exists for the person who reads the label, asks the questions, and refuses to settle for "good enough" when better is possible.
✓ Certified B Corp ♀ Women-Owned Business 1% for the Planet Member ∞ Lifetime Guarantee
Every sip is a choice. We want yours to be a good one.
When you reach for a straw, you probably aren't thinking about microplastics, BPA leaching, or where that disposable will end up. We do — because a dentist and a mother founded this company, and people like that can't stop asking "but is it actually safe?"
Simply Straws was born from a simple conviction: that a small, everyday object could be made beautifully, responsibly, and built to last a lifetime — without costing the planet to do it.
We make glass straws for people who care about what touches their bodies and their world. That's it. That's us.
Why it matters to you
For your health
Our borosilicate glass is non-toxic, BPA-free, and doesn't leach chemicals — even in hot drinks. What goes in your straw goes in your body. Ours is clean.
For the planet
One reusable glass straw replaces hundreds of disposables. We're a 1% for the Planet member — 1% of every sale supports environmental nonprofits doing the hard work.
For keeps
We back every straw with a lifetime guarantee because we build things that last. Not disposable. Not replaceable every season. Once. For good.
Founded by a dentist. Now led by a mother. Always guided by the same question: is this actually safe?
Simply Straws started in 2012 with a dental hygienist's instinct — after decades working in oral health, our founder had a professional's eye for what people put near their mouths, and a growing unease about the answer. Why were we all sipping through materials that hadn't been properly vetted? Why was "disposable" the default?
Today, Simply Straws is owned and led by a mother and medical professional whose motivation is personal: she wants the products in her home — and yours — to be genuinely safe for her family and kind to the planet her children will inherit. That's not a marketing position. It's the filter every product decision gets run through.
That means borosilicate glass for purity. Compostable packaging. Non-toxic dyes. And it means submitting to independent verification — we're a Certified B Corp, which means our commitment to people and planet isn't just a tagline. It's audited.
We're still that same family company. Still asking the same questions. Still refusing to cut corners, because corners are where the problems hide.
The Simply Straws promise
If your straw ever breaks under normal use, we replace it. No receipts, no runaround. That's what a lifetime guarantee means — and we mean it.
