“Upon opening the package I was surprised at the size of the case!!! It’s only a little bit larger than the Final Straw 2.0 case and it sorta confused me,... where’s the biggie size??? Well after opening, I could see how this was done. The Biggie Straw was conveniently folded in three sections and once pulled out,... it unfolded all on its own. The straw was firm and held shape in a much stronger way than anticipated. My first reaction was,... we gotta get boba now!!! After getting my favorite tea with pearl boba, I was amped to use my straw. First I had to puncture the lid and Biggie Straw already thought this through. The cleaning piece actually has a diamond shaped metal weight at the end that is used just for this and worked like a charm! I was able to place the straw in the cup with ease and the size was perfect and then it was time for the first sip. The straw works perfectly!!! There was no collapse due to suction or boba pearls getting lodged and the draw was smooth. Perfection!!! After all was said and done, it was cleaning time. I used a dab of dish soap and luke-warm water to squeegee the straw with its cleaning piece, which also went through with ease. Such a simple, yet highly effective process. I let the straw dry and was able to easily fold it back in three and place it in its case without struggle. Also, it appears to only fold in its designated places on the straw making it even easier to to put away. The cleaning piece required a wrapping technique which can take a few tries at first but becomes easier each time you do it. Really a clever and effective way to make this straw something I will use each time boba or smoothies are an option. Thank you so much for making a product that I can reuse and reduce throwing out single use plastics with.”
“BiggleStraw is fin-derful! Sure, it's in a different form factor than my beloved Pirate's Booty black FinalStraw, and I was surprised when i opened the treasure chest in the package to find it folded not thrice, but only twice! And would it be rigid enough?
The answer is yes. I tested it on bubble tea (natch) and on a chocolate malt from Whataburger - BiggleStraw is a biggle win for both! Next, I want to test it on a true Blue Bell shake - the ultimate test on whether a straw will collapse under the negative pressure required to convey a thick, delicious beverage from cup to beak. This turtle lover will have to let you know!”
“I own 5 final straws and have given like 10 as gifts to my family and friends already. At first look I was a bit disappointed. While the case maintained the design cues of the final straw, the actual straw was vastly different. I didn’t expect it to just be a silicon straw, I expected it to be metal with a silicon interior to maintain the design and quality that I’ve become accustomed to. I just got bubble tea delivered and went to puncture the top only to find that the straw couldn’t pop the top. The straw itself functions well in the cup. Maybe I’m in the minority in looking for certain features. I still believe in the Final mission and plan to stay part of the family.”
Hi Alexander,
Thank you for that feedback and for your support in our products and mission to #SuckResponsibly!
Sorry to hear your having trouble puncturing the lid of your boba tea! We've actually included a feature at the end of the cleaning tool for this exact function.
BiggieStraw comes with a cleaning squeegee that has a poker on the end to help with puncturing lids! It also has a pointed end that will ensure your straw doesn’t suction to the bottom of the glass but since it’s made of silicone, it won’t be able to puncture plastic on its own.
Should you have any further questions please let us know and contact our customer support team at halp@finalstraw.com!

“My BiggieStraw is great! It’s flexible and easy to pack, and it is super easy to clean with the brush provided. It is fat enough to easily enjoy sucking on a thick milkshake. 10/10”
“Love it for my thick shakes and bubble teas. Having my own personal straws make me very happy. Not really feeling the cleaning string, Absolutely love my BiggieStraw #StillSuckingResponsibly”
“Currently loving the biggie straw. My main draw to the product is the compact and easily carried case. Just leave it on my key ring and take it everywhere. I've used on milkshakes, frozen coffees, and fruit shakes. My only very small complaint would be the cleaning squeegee does have a pocket to store it, but no good way to wrap it. The other Final Straws, both old and new cases, have great ways to keep the cleaner in the case. But that doesn't detract from the amazing transportability of the straw, using it on the go anywhere anytime.”
“One major drawback is it can't pop through the plastic cover of a bubble tea drink - it needs a firmer tip. Also, it is a little awkward getting the cleaning tool and straw back into it's case - it is a tight fit for the straw. It seems the cleaning tool might be better if it had a brush on the end instead of just a disc. Other than that, actually using the straw once it was in the drink worked really well and felt good.”
