Are straws stainless or titanium? What is the diameter? The straws are pictured straight as well as bent; two styles or one?

They are stainless and the diameter is that of a normal drinking straw. Mine are bent. Wish they were a little longer.

CThe ones I bought are regular top (NOT wide mouth). The straws are a hard acrylic. We love ours!

I am far from a stainless steel expert, and I know nothing about "grades" of stainless steel. I can tell you, however, these straws have a heavy, solid feel and look very luxurious. I am very happy with them.

They are pretty much standard straws- like you would get at McDonald's. I don't have any in the hosue to give you an exact measurement, sorry...

I bought these here from Cal Tools and they were individually wrapped, not in a pack like the picture, and no, the ring does not move, it's molded on the straw, about 1 inch from the end. They are stiff and good clear straws, about 5/8 outside diameter, and 10 1/2 inches long. I will buy more.

The straws are heavy plastic. They were a little too big in diameter for my needs. I personally would use these straws as a single use item, and then discard. They might go in dishwasher if you used the top rack. good luck.

No, these straws do not bend. They are made out of hard plastic. I was looking for straws that bend too and I wish I had asked someone before buying them.

I currently own the bent straw version by the same company and so I will share my experience. They are made of stainless steel. Take any stainless steel item you have around the house and place it in hot water to gauge the heat level. Metal conducts heat and cold. They in essence become the temperature of the drink you place them into. I use mine all the time for both hot and cold drinks but when I use it in hot drinks I let the drink cool down a bit before I drink. It doesn't cause a problem for me but you do have to exercise a bit of patience and common sense.

They are the length of a regular straw that bends - however long they are. I love them.

If you buy the straws from Fishercon (me) I can tell you that the straws are 301, or 304 Stainless depending on material availability. Both grades of stainless are among the highest quality and will provide decades of trouble free sipping!

The "straw" is made of stainless steel I'm pretty sure (or some other kind of metal) so you should be fine. I love mine and have had it for 5 months now. Hope that helps.

There are no markings on the ones I received. The stainless steel is a bit stiff and a little difficult to bend into the correct shape.

I don't have one in the house to measure, but they are stiffer than the thin red plastic straws that you can get at many places. There have been no complaints from the 100s of people that I see using the wooden sticks that I bought. I did receive complaints whe I offered the red straws. Some were too short, some too long (depending on what type you buy). These wooden stick's length are in between. Some people would use 2-3 little red straws to stir their coffee, stating that they were too narrow. The wooden sticks do not have this problem. I will buy these again.

I'm not a metal expert, so this is just my personal observation. There are no markings directly on the scoop, but the sticker on it says 'stainless'. I've washed mine successfully in the dishwasher and they are holding up great for my purposes. (I use them as flour/sugar scoops.) They are not made out of a thick metal, they're kind of thin. But again, sturdy enough.

These are the bent straws and they are not flexable. However, you can buy the straight straws. I do believe they are around the same price.

the opening is the size of a standard size straw you would get at any fastfood restaurant. I believe all the stainless steel straws for sale are the standard size, at least all the ones I have seen for sale. They should specifically say in the description if they are large otherwise I assume it is safe to say they are standard size.
