Straws that bend

I know that supermarkets have phased out plastic straws. This is obviously a good thing.

My ds2 however isn't tall enough to use a completely straight straw and often spills his cup trying to reach the top of the straw with his mouth.

Has anyone seen any paper straws that bend?

Can you cut the straws so that they just come over the cup?

You can buy them from Amazon. And probably other places - google bendy paper straws

We’ve got silicone straws that are naturally bent at an angle and they bend further when you use them.

Only a few quid in the supermarket and they came with a wee brush for cleaning them.

Cut the straws or hold the cup lower for them.

Cutting the straw is a genius idea! Thank you for all your suggestions
