The set includes: 1 eight oz. tumbler, 1 spill-resistant lid, 10 One-Way Straws, and 1 *free* Lip Blok (Yellow, 3\/4\"). The One-Way Straws have a unique valve built into the bottom of the straw that controls the flow of liquid - fluid flows up into the straw, but does not empty back into the cup. Because fluid stays at the top of the straw, less air is ingested and less effort is required for each sip (notice the juice staying at the top of the straw in the picture). An individual can suck from the straw, or can be helped by \"pumping\" the fluid up the straw with the flexible lid. \r\nSimply insert the One-Way Straw (valve side down into the liquid) into the hole in the lid, and press the lid onto the cup. Cover the vent hole with your finger and press down several times until the liquid reaches the desired height. With the Sip-Tip, users tend to experience less coughing and choking while consuming more fluids. \r\nThe Sip-Tip is similar to the Cip-Kup and Bear Bottle in function, but with a more professional and discrete design geared towards teenagers through geriatrics. The lid snaps on securely to minimize spillage, and the rigid, high-quality tumbler has graduated marks on its side to monitor fluid intake. The Lip Blok prevents individuals from biting on the straw or putting it too far into their mouths, and can also help decrease tongue protrusion and promote correct tongue and lip positioning. \r\nRecommended for thin liquids (water, milk, juice without pulp, etc). Not recommended for carbonated beverages. \r\nSpecifications:\r\n Made from non-toxic, food grade materials. Dishwasher safe.\r\n Crafted in our own factory in Columbia, SC for quality and safety assurance.\r\n Bottle measures approximately 4.5\" tall with a 2\" diameter at the base and 3\" diameter at the top and holds 8oz of fluid.\r\n*May be HSA \/ FSA eligible.

It's also an excellent way to transition babies straight from bottles to straw drinking - skipping sippy cups altogether! Many speech therapists believe that sippy cups can promote improper tongue positioning and an immature swallowing pattern, while straw drinking can help strengthen the mouth muscles and encourage tongue retraction, cheek tension, lip closure, and proper oral positioning. \r\nThe Bear Bottle, aka the \"honey bear straw cup,\" features a unique valve that controls the direction of fluid - liquid flows up into the straw, but does not flow back down. Simply press the tapered end of the Select-Flow Valve into the bottom of the straw and insert straw into the Bear Bottle cup, twist the cap on. Squeeze the bear's belly until fluid reaches the top of the straw and release. Fluid will stay at the top of the straw, thereby decreasing the effort required to drink. The honey bear bottle with straw is recommended for individuals who tend to aspirate or have a weak suck with difficulties generating and maintaining suction. \r\nThe ARK Bear Bottle Kit for Straw Drinking (Standard) includes: 1 easy-to-squeeze Bear Bottle with a snap-close cap, 1 Select-Flow Valve, 2 eight-inch long tubing straws, 1 yellow Lip Blok (3\/4\"), and instructions on how to teach straw drinking. The tubing straw is a reusable, chewable, durable alternative to traditional straws, and the Lip Blok prevents kids from biting on the straw or putting it too far into their mouths. The Plus version includes all the same components plus a pack of 12 regular drinking straws. \r\nSpecifications:\r\n Made from non-toxic, food grade materials. Dishwasher safe.\r\n Crafted in our own factory in Columbia, SC for quality and safety assurance.\r\n Bottle measures approximately 2 x 2.5 x 6\" and holds 8oz of fluid.\r\n*May be HSA \/ FSA eligible.

Or do you need to work on oral motor skills like lip closure, tongue retraction, and cheek tension? This straw topper may be just what you’re looking for! \r\nThe ARK Lip Blok® mouthpieces are simple yet effective oral motor tools that naturally exercise the mouth muscles to discourage tongue-thrusting, promote tongue retraction, and correct overall tongue and lip positioning. They also prevent individuals from biting the straw or putting it too far into their mouths. Simply press the stem into the top of a regular straw, and you're ready to drink. Suitable for both children and adults. \r\nThe Lip Blok comes in three different mouthpiece lengths – 3⁄4” (yellow, clear, pink lips, or orange mustache), 1⁄2” (blue), and 1⁄4” (teal). For the best results, start with the longest 3⁄4” length. Once the individual becomes accustomed to that length, switch to the 1⁄2”, and then finally to the 1⁄4”. This hierarchy slowly teaches individuals to put less and less of the straw into their mouths. When only 1⁄4” is inside the mouth, fluid is deposited in the front of the mouth where it is easier to manage and less likely to cause coughing or aspiration. With shorter lengths, you also get a better oral motor workout, as the tongue retracts more, the lips seal better, and the cheeks have more tension. \r\nCompatible with most regular drinking straws (that measure .25 inch in diameter). Works best with either our Bear Bottle honey bear straw cup, Sip-Tip, or Cip-Kup, as these cup sets hold the straw steady \r\nSpecifications:\r\n    Made from medical grade materials.\r\n    Crafted in our own factory in Columbia, SC for quality and safety assurance.\r\n*May be HSA \/ FSA eligible.
