Reuseable straws

My almost 14 year old doesn't like drinking out of any sort of cup with suction or no spill valves. Even take n toss cups. So we just use regular disposable bendy straws. I was thinking about getting some reuseable bpa free ones and was wondering if anyone knows where to get some. I don't want glass since were talking about a toddler here. I found some acrylic but can't seem to find bent ones.

I have some stainless steel ones that are bent.  I really like them, but my DH does not like drinking out of the steel for some reason.  I got them on amazon:

Oh yay! Now, do I need to get a cleaning brush or is the dishwasher good or do you have to clean them a special way?
Thanks!

We have the bent stainless steal ones too. I do use a little straw cleaner for them.

I've used the same reusable straws since 1999. Always just put them in the dishwasher

I love my stainless steel straws.  I have some Dr. Brown's brushes (for cleaning the valve inside the Dr. Brown's bottles) that I use to clean the straws.  Works great!!!
