Do you know where can I buy 10x200mm flexible plastic straws for my disabled daughter, for medical need?

    Hi @mavey and a warm welcome to the community!

    Unfortunately, I cannot find flexible straws that are this wide. I have found these straws that are 10mm x 210mm and can be bought in a pack of 120 straws. Would these work?

    There are also these straws which have the same dimension but are cheaper.

    No problem @Mavey, is this what you were looking for?

    Hi Chloe,
    No the straws need to be 10x200mm flexible plastic straws, in order for user to use them.

    The 200mm is the length of the straw, is there a reason they have to be specifically that long?
    If so could you snip off 10mm from the 210mm ones?

    Hi @Mavey

    There are some reusable silicone straws here that are flexible: https://www.activehands.com/product/silicone-eco-straws/ 

    They are 250mm long, however it states that they can easily be cut to the desired length needed. They also come with a cleaning brush and carry pouch.

    Hope this helps :-)
