This full sized silicone straw comes in an aluminum travel case that fits in your pocket, backpack, purse or bag. Made of 100% European-grade silicone, it's BPA, BPS, phthalate, PVC, and lead free. Can be put in the dishwasher or boiled to clean. Straws are 8.5" in length with an opening of approximately .5" Is silicone better than plastic?? The short answer: YES. Think of it as a better plastic. It's not perfect, but it has benefits over most plastic that make it a reasonable choice for some items. 1). Lasts longer - silicone has a high resistance to temperature changes (can be boiled, baked, frozen) with no degradation so you can use each item much longer, and reduce your waste.  2). Safer - silicone doesn't react to foods or temperatures, so most studies show it doesn't leach into foods and our bodies. 3). Can be incinerated - when silicone is burned, it doesn't release toxic fumes
