is the straw hard or soft?

Upside is soft and downside (into the bottle) straw is hard. It's very nice to use.

Both. The part of the straw that goes in the mouth (and also folds down into the lid for travel and storage) is soft. The straw that sits in the liquid inside the cup is hard. The hard portion detaches from the lid easily for cleaning. We've taken ours all over the place and washed it in the dishwasher countless times. It's in great shape. It hardly shows any wear, unlike other drinking items we've purchased that are partially made of that softer plastic. Hope this helps!

The straw is perfect for the little one's no problems with straw. Just right.

It is a hard plastic! I absolutely love this water can. It reaches into hard to get areas. I would highly recommend this product to anyone

The nipple itself is softish. Can be bitten without chipping a tooth but is tough enough to be sturdy. The surrounding cap/holder is far more rigid so you pull out the softer nipple to drink.

If you really want to make these bottles work, you could use a thin exact type knife and score out the valve on the inside of the straw, coming in from the top. Cutting out the two pieces that are about 1/2" from the top would remove the restriction from inside. As you wash these bottles though, the rubber becomes softer and you'll get more flow anyway. However, if your kiddo is at the point where he's needing more volume out of the straw, you may want to look for a bottle that has a hard straw. Now that mine is a little older, we use cups with lids and a hard straw that has a rubber ring around it to keep it sealed. Nuby soft tops aren't known to be long lasting bottles after all. Good luck!

I think the strength is controlled by how fast the baby/toddler suck on the straw. I would say medium at least. the straw goes all the way to the bottom of the bottle

Each person experiences the way an item feels differently, so I cant tell you if it is hard or soft. Sorry

The straw is plastic and I have not found it to affect taste. Fabulous water bottle

The spout is hard. And very smooth. (Note also that it does require some strong sucking to draw liquid out of the bottle; the manufacturer touts this as a plus, saying it helps train babies to suck successfully at the breast.)

Well, from my point of view its a little more difficult than drinking from a straw but not uncomfortably so. My 8 year old child has no problems with it.

The part that you stick in your mouth is soft plastic. The flappy parts that cover the spout, the push button and most of the housing are hard plastic.

It is hard, is not soft as the regular silicon mold that you can push it is hard pink plastic. Not sure if it may have a low % of silicone but it seems to me as plastic, hard to unmold as well.

It is hard plastic, but a little flexible.You can bend the tail a little, but it returns to its original position.The mouth is articulated, so you can put it to be opened or closed.

The spout is hard plastic. Helpful to prevent chewing but not great for 18mo and younger - seems a tad more dangerous than a wider hard plastic sippy

Though it is some sort of plastic, but not hard that it is stiff and not soft that it is flexible. On a scale from 1 to 10 with 1 being soft and 10 being hard, I would give it an 8. It is quite durable, but not too hard that a teething child would hurt himself with. My 6-year old enjoys it in the tub because it is not too hard for him to play with, though I think he would like it more if it were squishy, but that's another issue.

It is smooth but the ridge for the lid is not good for drinking without a straw.

It's not hard at all. It's very soft and smooth and absorbs into the paws as it dries. It leaves a very thin, smooth layer that you can barely feel.

The base of it is part of the cap, that part is hard. The top pulls out of the base is soft. So the part that you put in your mouth is soft like rubber. I hope that makes sense
