Drinking Straws suggestion

Hi

If anyone is having difficulty in drinking and choking try these as my Sue has found them to be very good.

It only allows so much liquid through at any time and if you suck to hard the steel ball stops the flow.

Can be taken apart for cleaning.

Search amazon as they are easy to get.

My mum had these too and found them really useful. You can cut them down too as they tend to be quite long. She used to have them in a beaker with a lid so needed them to be quite short.
