We are very satisfied in the test of PandaBaw's glass straws. They are perfect for any occasion, be it for birthdays, as decoration or as cocktail straws.
We have both those long 21,5 cm as well as the short 15 cm glass straws tested and found both very practical, although the mouthfeel was initially unfamiliar compared to other straws due to the thickness.
The glass straws are made of thick glass and therefore very robust and dishwasher safe. Cleaning with the supplied pipe cleaners turns out more difficult, as this partly loses hair and also in the straws gets stuck.
Another benefit of PandaBaw glass straws is that they are tasteless, whereby the taste experience when drinking is not distorted. We drank both water and a cocktail through the glass straws and couldn't tell any difference in taste.
The set comes with a storage bag and a cleaning brush, which is very handy for cleaning the glass straws to store safely and cleanly. There is also delicious recipes as a eBook to which we found very nice.
Overall we are glass with the PandaBaw drinking straws very satisfied, you are durable, environmentally friendly and practical in daily use.

The criticism is that the supplied brush is very hard and, according to customers, can scratch the glass straws.
