ARK Tubing Flexible Straws are extra-strong, reusable drinking straws made from medical-grade chewable tubing – ideal for individuals with oral motor challenges, sensory-seeking behaviours, or those who need a durable alternative to disposable straws. These flexible straws are longer-lasting and more resistant to biting, making them perfect for children and adults who tend to chew straws during drinking or therapy.

Unlike standard plastic straws, these are constructed from ARK's signature chewable tubing material, making them both functional and therapeutic. They support sensory input for individuals with autism, ADHD, or oral fixation habits, while also facilitating safe drinking, feeding, or straw-sipping training. They are a favourite among occupational therapists and speech-language pathologists for encouraging self-regulation and improving oral strength.

Each pack contains 3 clear straws that can be trimmed to size and used with most standard cups or therapy bottles. Whether at home, in school, or during therapy sessions, these straws are a long-lasting, safe alternative for supporting sensory and oral motor development.
