Not only this, as with all our products there is a huge developmental benefit too. Straw drinking allows for healthy oral development and makes sure that the lips, palette, tongue and jaw are in the correct position for drinking. And in doing this it also helps to develop tongue stabilisation at the back of the mouth which is important for connected speech & speech clarity development.

Then all other required tongue movements can occur from this place of stabilisation.

Straw drinking requires complex movement from the jaw, lips and tongue.

Through the coordination of these movements a vacuum draw is created. Each of our speech sounds are made with a different combination of these graded movements.

It is also very important for the future oral motor development of babies and toddlers.
