"I would have the hardest time sipping from the straw due to it not coming up and just gave up it was hurting my mouth from my lips wrapping around sucking hard the water level to come up was so uncomfortable . I wish it worked better ."
"LOVE taking this with me on the go to airports and hotels to make sure I have safe, clean water everywhere I go!"
"I would like to use this for every day use because I don’t find that the water even coming out of the tap is drinkable. The problem I have was purchasing this straw is that it won’t fit into a tumbler. I wanted to use it for every day use for water not necessarily out of the river or a stream. I want filtered water because I like the taste of it. Yes I did buy the tumbler with the filter in it, but the filter needs to be changed too often"
"love these straws! we have had a lifestraw pitcher at home for a while and wanted something on the go that we could take camping. my partner and i both drank right out of a stream on a hike and it was awesome! love the comfy mouth piece and convenient carrying case to keep it clean."
"Good product"
"I'll find out later on."
"I love this straw I keep in car."
"Works like magic! I've never tasted water so good!! Get one and thank me later!"
"The straw works great! No complaints about the function and easy to clean. The only thing I was disappointed by was it is too thick for me to use with my Starbucks Tumbler or cups of that nature."
"Great product with a very helpful ability to protect yourself from germs and bacteria and parasites but could be a little easier to suck on to get m the water out. Of course, I have emphysema, however my wife also thought it was a little difficult to use. Maybe we just need practice"
