Description
The ARK Sip-Tip Cup makes drinking easier for people with a weak suck or difficulty generating suction. It uses One-Way Straws with a built-in valve, so liquid flows up but doesn’t drain back into the cup.
How it works
Because liquid stays at the top of the straw, less air is swallowed and each sip takes less effort. The user can sip independently, or a carer can help by “pumping” liquid up the straw: cover the vent hole with a finger and press the flexible lid a few times until the liquid reaches the right height.
What’s included
- 1 x 8 oz (about 235 ml) tumbler

Safety: People with eating, drinking or swallowing difficulties should follow the advice of their speech pathologist or doctor on posture, food textures and fluid consistency.

This product is overpriced for what it is. Can’t help but feel like it’s exploiting people with disabilities. The non return value is far too powerful for people with weak sucking action. I no have a $52 dollar useless cup.
