Do you have to use the sold separately special straw or could an adult use already owned thick smoothie straws? Thanks!

You could probably use a thick straw! I didn't end up keeping the lids because the didn't stay on very well. The underside has three rings to fit "any" size. They didn't fit either of the cups I get it for!! It's also not a secure fit, if the cup falls over, you will have a big mess

You can use any straw that fits. I've used regular disposable bendy straws to the big silicone "Bubba" straws. It has an x-cut similar to what you would see on a disposable lid, so it accommodates many sizes.

The opening under the sliding closer is sort of a half moon shape, so yes you could use a straw, a standard size one would fit. A larger one, like the ones that come with Tervis-type cups, would be too big.

If you go against the directions, who want you to use a proper held-held blender, I find it thickens fine by itself. I once used just a small whisk and hot water and it was quite thick. I don't think it needs any added ingredients, but you can always experiment.

Absolutely not . My husband never uses the straw and I always do. I don't care for the straw that comes with it ,so I'll use one from McDonald's .et al. W love these pitchers .I believe we've bought 4 or 5 from Amazon .l We make sure there's always a clean 1 or 2. . Sandy Hathway

Hi there! I don't know if it would work well for smoothies because the pull on the straw is a little bit tight

I bought this as a gift, so I do not own one myself. However, I have a similar sized bottle and use the long straws from Starbucks.

I never thought to try it without the straw. I just did and actually, it works even better without the straw!! Thanks so much for asking that question! I like the water bottle even better now!! :-)

If I knew what a nutri bullet is, I could answer clearly. However, we have used a Waring Blender for over 55 years; and have ALWAYS gotten a 'smoothie' that we could drink thru a 1/4 inch diameter straw....hope this answer helps!

The ones I own don't have an extra space for a straw. I do from time to time put a little "juice box" size straw through the main drinking hole.

i think you question is, can you buy just the straw top and screw it onto the bottom of the sippy cup. I dont know, but I think the sippy is a little shorter. I've never seen just the top. I once tried to buy a replacement straw for the straw cupt, but you had to buy the whole silicon piece and it was $7.

Yes . I use them for all drinks , Kool-aide , soda, smoothies and even water ! I use straws because I cannot tilt my head back enough to drink from a cup. Don't worry about getting too much too fast. Just bite down on the straw to regulate the flow of liquid ! :-)

I would say it takes a standard 1/4" straw - not the larger smoothie straw.

Yes! I drink my super thick smoothies through these straws with no problem at all. I love them!!!

I purchased a "straw brush" special for this and it is "great" and needed!!! I would think it could handle a smoothie, depending on how thick the smoothie is!! The straw size is not really large in width. ??? I will keep this post and try my smoothie for you and let you know!!

I use plastic bendable straws and they fit perfectly in the mouth opening. This way you can change straws for hygienic reasons.

It works well in the sense that you can remove the straw and shake up the smoothie if the ingredients separate. I'm drinking one right now!

Yes!!!! For that reason I will never buy again. I have two they both pop out. U really need to shove straw in to get it to stay slightly longer
