ARK Replacement Straws for ARK Drinking Aids (24 Pack)

These are replacement straws for ARK's Sip-Tip, Cip-Kup and Bear Bottle drinking aids. They are also compatible with all ARK Lip Bloks and drinking valves. For schools and families who use ARK drinking aids every day with children and young people with SEND, a 24 pack makes it simple to keep a fresh supply of straws to hand.

How it helps

Straws in daily use can become worn or simply need replacing over time. Having spares ready means a drinking aid can go back into use straight away, without waiting for a new cup or bottle. Because these straws fit ARK's Lip Bloks and valves, any set-up recommended for a child can be rebuilt with a fresh straw.

For schools

• Keeps classroom and lunchtime drinking aids ready to use.
• A 24 pack supports several pupils who use ARK drinking aids.
• Fits with the Lip Bloks and valves already used in school.
• Helps staff follow hygiene routines by swapping straws regularly.

For parents and home use

• Keeps spares in the cupboard for the Sip-Tip, Cip-Kup or Bear Bottle.
• Useful when a straw has been chewed or lost.
• Lets you keep separate drinking aids set up for home and school bags.
• Works with your existing Lip Bloks and valves.

Supporting SEND and learning differences

Children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities often rely on the same drinking aid every day. Consistent equipment helps routines run smoothly, and a dependable supply of straws means there are fewer interruptions at mealtimes.

Why the right straw matters

Drinking aids such as the Cip-Kup, Bear Bottle and Sip-Tip are designed as complete systems, with straws, valves and Lip Bloks working together. Using straws made for those systems helps each part fit and work as intended.

• Can schools use them?

• How do I keep the straws clean?
  ARK does not give care instructions for the straws on its product page. ARK makes a thin Cleaning Brush designed for tubing straws and Lip Bloks, which is available separately and makes it easier to clean inside the straw. Please contact us if you need help.
