The 5 Best Reusable Straws on Amazon in 2026

Why it made the list

• Serious Eats found the best metal straws pair steel with a silicone topper, and this set comes with covers in eight colors.
• The listing says the steel is 18/8 with thicker walls and a polished finish, and that the set holds 16 straws in straight and bent shapes.
• A travel case and a cleaning brush come with it, per the title.

Drawbacks

• Serious Eats says silicone toppers pick up scents and flavors, so the covers need hand-washing.
• The bullets we read are cut off before the shorter size, and no bore width is named.

Skip it if you want one slim straw rather than sixteen, or need a width you can confirm before you buy.

Why it made the list

• Each of the four straws folds in three sections and stretches to 9.05 inches, with its own case and keychain, per the listing.
• Condé Nast Traveler named the Kynup Collapsible Straws the clear favorite of the telescopic straws it compared.
• Each straw has a silicone tip, per the listing.

Drawbacks

• It stretches to 9.05 inches, shorter than the 10 inches Serious Eats finds convenient for large to-go cups.
• Serious Eats dropped a different collapsible straw, the Zoku, for folding in while in use, so check these joints when you first use them.

Watch for this: Amazon shows the Kynup Collapsible Straws under a second listing with the same review total. Both are titled as 4-packs from one brand, so we treat them as one product.

Skip it if you mostly drink from tall cups at home and want a long straw that does not fold.

Why it made the list

• The set has two straight and two bent borosilicate glass straws, about 21.5 cm long with a 10 mm diameter, per the listing.
• It comes with two long-handled cleaning brushes, and the listing says the straws can also go in the dishwasher.
• Serious Eats says clear glass makes it easy to see and remove stuck-on drink.

Drawbacks

• The listing itself warns the straws can break if dropped.
• Serious Eats says glass straws collect tiny nicks over time and are highly breakable.

Watch for this: The delivery line on the page we read gave a window weeks away and showed no Prime icon, so check the delivery date before you order.

Skip it if you carry straws in a bag or have children at the sink, since glass can break.

Why it made the list

• The pack has eight silicone straws about 10 inches long in assorted colors, with two cleaning brushes.
• The listing calls the silicone food-grade and BPA-free, soft and easy to bend, and says it can be cut to length.
• The listing says it suits 30 oz tumblers, and Serious Eats notes silicone avoids the cold feel of bare metal.

Drawbacks

• Serious Eats says silicone holds scents and flavors, so hand-wash it.
• The listing says not to put it in the microwave and names no bore width, while Serious Eats found some silicone straws too narrow for thick smoothies.

Skip it if you want a rigid straw that holds its shape, or a straw wide enough for thick smoothies that you can confirm from the listing.
