Why Simply Straws
There are a lot of reusable glass straws out there. Here's what actually sets ours apart — not marketing claims, but specific, checkable facts about how they're built.
Thicker glass than the industry standard
Our Classic and Wide straws are made from borosilicate glass with a 2.0mm wall thickness — our thickest — while most glass straws on the market, including our own Tumbler, Cocktail, and Skinny lines, run 1.0–1.5mm. Wall thickness is the single biggest factor in whether a glass straw survives years of dishwasher cycles, drops, and daily use. It's also the reason we're able to back every straw with a genuine lifetime guarantee instead of a limited one. Curious how the shapes compare side by side? Our Find Your Straw guide has a full size and thickness breakdown, plus a quick quiz that matches your glass or tumbler to the right straw.
ClinkGuard™ — the only tumbler fit solution of its kind
Straight glass straws weren't designed for insulated tumblers like Stanley®, YETI®, and Owala® — the lid openings are wide enough that a straw can drift sideways, hit the tumbler wall, and chip. ClinkGuard™ is a silicone boot fitted to every Simply Straws Tumbler set that holds the glass centered in the lid, so it can't rattle or strike the mug. We're not aware of another glass straw brand offering anything like it — most tumbler-length glass straws on the market are simply longer straight straws, with the same loose-fit problem as any other size.
A lifetime guarantee that means what it says
If a Simply Straws straw breaks, cracks, or chips under normal use, we replace it — no receipts, no runaround, no expiration date on the promise. That's only a promise we can make credibly because of the glass thickness and ClinkGuard™ fit behind it; a guarantee is only as good as the product it's backing.
A shape — and a style — for everything you drink
Instead of one straw sized differently, we make five distinct diameters: a 7mm Cocktail straw, 9mm Classic, 10mm Tumbler, 12mm Wide, and stainless steel for the roughest use. Classic, Wide, and Tumbler straws come in both straight and bent styles, so the straw can match how you actually drink, not just what glass you own. Not sure which one fits your cup? The Find Your Straw quiz will match you in a few seconds.
Start with one straw, build the set your way
You don't have to commit to a full set to try us. Our Single Straws collection lets you buy just one straw first, and our Build Your Own sets let you mix two different colors in a single twin set instead of a fixed matched pair. Pair either with our full accessory lineup — cleaning brushes, carrying sleeves, and utensil kits — and you've got a complete, plastic-free kit built exactly the way you want it.

Over a decade of getting the details right
Simply Straws has been making glass straws since 2012 — years before many glass straw brands on the market today existed — with a retail track record that has included national accounts like Whole Foods, and has shipped more than a million straws to customers nationwide. We've had over a decade to refine the details — glass thickness, color safety, tumbler fit — and we're still refining them.

The bottom line
Anyone can claim "durable" or "eco-friendly" on a product page. What we'd rather you look at is what's actually different, checkable, and specific: a 2.0mm wall where most straws run thinner, a named engineering solution for the one problem every tumbler-straw owner runs into, the flexibility to start with a single straw or build your own set, a guarantee with no fine print, a 4.83-star rating from 1,900+ verified reviews, and third-party verification instead of a self-awarded badge.
