Description
The Select-Flow Valve turns a standard drinking straw into a one-way straw. Liquid flows up into the straw but doesn’t flow back down. Because the drink stays at the top of the straw, each sip takes less effort and less air is swallowed.
Who is it for?
- People who find it hard to create and keep suction (a weak suck)
- People who take too much liquid at once. The valve slows the flow for smaller, more manageable sips.
- Beginners learning to drink from a straw
How to use it
Push the tapered end of the valve into the bottom of a straw. If a slower flow isn’t needed, trim the tapered end with scissors to increase the flow.
Features
- Fits the bottom of most standard drinking straws

- FDA compliant. No lead, phthalates, PVC, BPA or latex.

Important information
- For thin liquids such as water, milk and pulp-free juice.
