What is Silicone made from?

Silicone is basically made up of silicon, a natural element that becomes silicone when combined with oxygen, carbon and hydrogen.

Why Silicone? 

Silicone is soft and flexible, therefore it is much safer and portable than hard plastic, bamboo, glass or metal.

Silicone does not promote bacteria or fungus growth like for example natural materials like bamboo. It can be either boiled for 100% sterilisation over and over again or washed in the dishwasher.

 Is Silicone a Recyclable Material?  Yes! Silicone is recyclable in many specialty recycling facilities but being very durable, you will not need to dispose of it for a very long time.

“I have an autistic son that chews on everything. He only wants to drink from a straw, I could not buy stainless steel straws knowing that he could hurt himself. A friend recommended glugglug straws and they work perfectly. 

I recommend the standard size orange a purple glugglug straws, they very flexible, their walls are much thicker than other Brands silicone straws on the market, they can be chewed and are very easy to clean without using any plastic squeegee. 

I recommend them 100%, especially for special needs kids.”
