If you are trying to cut down your trash impact by using reusable straws instead of single use plastic straws, this set is great! It comes in a slim little muslin drawstring bag and contains !!12!! straws! The straws come in three different colors- stainless steel, gold, and rose gold. There are also 2 brushes to clean the straws. You have 6 straight straws and 6 straws with a bent neck, whatever makes you happy! These straws will slideinto your purse, backpack or briefcase and travel anywhere you need. I have run these through the dishwasher and they did just fine. I love these because I have multiple cups in different color schemes and with these straws I can have one that matches each cup.
