Case studies
Drinking straws & straw holders
Included here are drinking straws and straw holders.
The straw holders are designed to secure a straw onto the side of a cup or mug.
Some of the straws have a large diameter (bore) to enable the flow of thicker liquids and others have a one way valve.

Help and advice
The amount of suction required to draw liquid up the straw increases as the diameter and length of the straw increases.
If you have reduced suction, a straw with a one-way valve will prevent the liquid from flowing back down the straw between sips.
If you are having difficulty drinking and/or swallowing, we would recommend that you arrange an assessment with a speech and language therapist.
