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.Scope -
Hello Chloe,
Thank you for your response. -

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 @MaveyThere 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 :-)
