Paper Straws

My three year old has a range of sensory issues and is quite obsessive. As a result, we often buy her innocent smoothies in cartons because they are her favourite and whilst I recognise they are not the most healthy I would prefer a hydrated child!

The problem is the straws. I appreciate the switch to less single use plastics with the paper straws (does my head in that they give me a useless paper straw in a plastic wrapper when that could be paper!) … but the paper straws are next to useless for piercing the carton… and are instantly chewed by my daughter to the point that they are unusable.

Looking for recommendations of reusable straws that fit into juice carton holes! Any advice appreciated please!

Thanks for the suggestion- unfortunately these are more than twice the size of the hole in a carton!
I think I’m going to have to develop my own and go on Dragon’s Den 🤣
