what kind of plastic are these straws and connectors made of?

They aren't straws like normal. Plastic tube, with flexible soft connectors. Children 6 to 10 in my child care loved them. Created numerous patterns.

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.

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!

They are plastic. But we have used this product for two years in all weather and for a power source camping, and it's never failed.

The straw part is a type of plastic. The mouth piece I believe to be silicon. I am pretty picky about taste and I have not noticed any strange taste from the plastic. It's a great water bottle.

The straw part you drink from is silicone. The tube that goes into the thermos and connects to the straw is plastic.

They are plastic. The the stick side kids hold are perfect size for little hands, and the end that goes in the mold is short so I don't worry about the kids choking on it when they get to the end of their pops.

The two I recieved are heavy duty plastic. We use them all the time, and like them. One has started to leak, I'm not sure if it was washed in the dishwasher or not.

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

Nothing on the packaging said non BPA. They were just what I was looking for -hard plastic longer straws with the little stopper so it doesn't come out of the cup by mistake. Good luck!

They are plastic. I have had this for a month now with no problems at all. I don't crank down on the fittings when I tighten them however

Yes, the tips are stainless steel and the connectors are plastic (as they always are)

Yes! They are made of silicone which doesn't leach any chemicals. The straws and lids are both silicone and BPA free!

I believe they are plastic but I am not entirely sure as I bought this as a gift for my daughter last Christmas.

They are plastic, and they hold up well. I wasn't sure I wanted plastic, but they work great.

The container does not give specifics of what the adapters are made of, but it feels like a hard plastic. They are not rubber. Made in China.

The strap connectors aren't metal. They seem to be a type of impact resistant polymer. I have had mine for 4 years and they haven't broken at all during hunting seasons, some construction and air soft games.
