One and Only: The Turtleneck® Straw!
The Turtleneck®Straw is the first and only flexible stainless steel drinking straw and therefore stands for reusability without sacrifice. It combines function, sustainability and stylish design with a high level of safety. Thanks to the hygienic certification and the possibility of convenient cleaning in the dishwasher, enjoyment is guaranteed.
The first bendable drinking straw made of stainless steel
The flexible Turtleneck® Straw is a real win for anyone who wants to avoid disposable alternatives for the sake of the environment, but doesn't want to compromise on comfort, design and utility.
... easy to clean
The easiest way to clean the Turtleneck® Straw is in the dishwasher. To do this, simply bend the drinking straw straight and place it upright in the cutlery basket. The hot water also ensures that germs and viruses are safely removed. If you don't have a dishwasher, our Turtleneck® Straw can also be cleaned quickly and easily with a cleaning brush that is included with every straw set.
... neutral in taste
For the Turtleneck® Straw we only use food-safe, taste-neutral stainless steel of material quality DIN 1.4301 - the gold standard in the food industry, which can therefore be found in every kitchen. Cooking pots, drinking bottles and cutlery are also made of this stainless steel.

Will the Turtleneck® Straw change the taste of my drink?
No. For the Turtleneck® Straw we only use food-safe, taste-neutral stainless steel of material quality DIN 1.4301 - the gold standard in the food industry, which can therefore be found in every kitchen. Cooking pots, drinking bottles and cutlery are also made of this stainless steel.
What is the best way to clean the Turtleneck® Straw?
The Turtleneck® Straw can be cleaned quickly and without leaving any residue in the dishwasher. If there is no dishwasher available or if stubborn drink residue needs to be removed, the cleaning brush provided can also be used.
Good to know: The diameter of our drinking straw allows sufficient water flow for safe cleaning in the dishwasher. The high-quality material also ensures that the Turtleneck® Straw is at least as hygienic to clean as, for example, a glass straw. Because our stainless steel is very robust and durable and can easily withstand extremely high temperatures in the dishwasher - germs and viruses are removed just as safely as beverage residues. The ease of cleaning of our Turtleneck® Straws has also been certified by the independent testing agency Intertek®. Click here for the exciting report!
How durable is the kink of the Turtleneck® Straw?
The Turtleneck® Straw can be used as a drinking straw forever even with normal use.
But of course nothing is indestructible – like everything in life. Even we cannot switch off physics. With a high bending frequency of hundreds of times per second, the resulting frictional heat can cause the material to become brittle.
Why does the Turtleneck® Straw have such a large diameter?
Our outer diameter of 8.5mm is comparable to that of many other paper and glass straws. The diameter of our drinking straw allows sufficient water flow for safe cleaning in the dishwasher.
How stable is the Turtleneck® Straw?
To produce the Turtleneck® Straw, we only use food-safe stainless steel with the material quality seal DIN 1.4301. Unlike glass or cardboard, the corrugation makes it flexible and at the same time extremely stable and robust.
Is the Turtleneck® Straw also suitable for children and seniors?
Definitely! Thanks to its maximum safety, its feel and the flexibility of the rounded mouthpiece, the Turtleneck® Straw is also perfect for children, seniors and people with disabilities. Thanks to our high-quality, shatterproof stainless steel, it is free of toxic chemicals, pollutants, petroleum and BPA and will not shatter if you bite. That's why our Turtleneck® Straw has also been certified by Intertek® as mechanically safe and chemically safe.
What advantages does the Turtleneck® Straw have over plastic and glass?
The special thing about our Turtleneck® Straw is its flexible mouthpiece combined with its reusability. Nobody has ever managed to combine these two characteristics! Because we don't want to forego any functional or design aspects, even with reusable alternatives. Unlike its plastic twin, the Turtleneck® Straw is reusable and does not contain harmful BPA. Due to its stability and resistance to breakage as well as its special bendability, it also stands out from the glass straw as a reusable alternative without sacrifice. This meant we were able to eliminate all the weaknesses of previous alternatives!
What stainless steel is the Turtleneck® Straw made of?
For the Turtleneck® Straw we only use stainless steel with the material quality seal 1.4301 - the gold standard in the food industry. It is a stainless steel that has a high proportion of chromium (18% - 20%) and nickel (8% - 10.5%). These two components make stainless steel an everyday material that can be found in every kitchen. Chromium ensures the corrosion resistance of stainless steel. In combination with nickel, the stainless steel becomes even more resistant.
Good to know: The nickel content is not a disadvantage! On the contrary: the higher the nickel content, the more dishwasher-safe the stainless steel is.
Does the Turtleneck® Straw rust?
No. Our Turtleneck® Straw is made of stainless steel of material quality DIN 1.4301 - the gold standard in the food industry, which can therefore be found in every kitchen. The high proportion of chromium (18% - 20%) in combination with a high proportion of nickel (8% - 10.5%) ensure extreme corrosion resistance and dishwasher safety.
