They're quite thin. Unless you have the likes of a vitamix, blendtec, or even the Ninja Ultima (mine) most blenders are going to produce too thick of a shake for these straws to work well. My advice? Don't waste your money. Go with a regular plastic wide straw or none at all. These are notorious for cracking up against your teeth when using. Go with another option.

These straws are my choice when I drink smoothies. They are plenty big enough for a normal thickness smoothie!

it says on the website... I think they are 9 mm whereas my usual ones are 7 mm. they are wide enough for smoothie or pulpy drink I'd say. glass dharma replaces them at no cost if they break.

They're pretty wide. Ii use them for smoothies and have never had a problem, they work really well for thick beverages.

They're 9mm, or about .35 inches. I use these to drink spinach-banana smoothies and have found them to be a great size for it!

I don' think so. The straws are wider than plastic straws. You will never go back to plastic!

Yes, they will work for thick milkshakes. We use 'em exclusively for thick milkshakes blended with topping mix-ins. I think the diameter is 9mm. The Karat website shows all their large diameter straws. They have 9mm and 10mm available. They're individually wrapped too.

9 inches. The first time I ordered them it was a thicker straw. the second time i got less thicker starws if that makes any sense. i use the thicker ones. my girlfriend likes the less thicker ones. so pay attention to the thickness

Most of the answers below are correct, They are approximately 1/2". They are much larger than regular straws and 12" in length

These straws are close to 8.5" before expanding and 8 3/4 inches after expanding. I do love the straws, they are good quality.

It's narrower than ur regular plastic straw. I would say don't get it if u plan to use for thick smoothies. Read my review.

Probably not wide enough for a thick smoothie. I still use the lids and straw cleaners but the straws themselves are actually sharp and I cut my self on the edge.

i got them for the same exact thing! they fit... not too wide, but are a bit short, the straw only sticks up a little over half an inch above the lid. i ended up getting a set that was 12" long on amazon. they are "almost" too wide, but fit well. let's see if i can find a link for you. yay! http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00CBAPMR8/ref=pe_385040_121528360_TE_dp_1

They fit the big straws, like the ones you get when you buy bubble tea. The regular sized straws get squeezed in the space on the lid. Of course, you can always make the hole bigger so the regular sized straw can fit but I just bought the big straws instead.

I sent the straws to my son who is stationed in Thailand. So I don't have them to measure for you. The straws are the size that you would get with a malted milkshake. A bit larger than the regular straws. I got the brush cleaner for them also so that they could be cleaned out well when washed. The work really well and if they are a bit to long you can just cut them to the size you want. I would recommend them.

The straws are pretty wide. Outside measures at about 1/2 inch and the inside is about 3/8th inch. Also the are very flexible if that matters.

I'm not sure the exact diameter, but it is certainly wide enough for smoothies of any thickness. This is a great tumbler for smoothies. If you make them ahead and the ingrediants settle in the tumbler, you can remove the straw and shake it up, reinsert the straw and away you go.

It's an average straw width but I have used it for smoothies without any problems. The lid would easily fit a wider straw if you decide to buy one later.

They are almost as wide as McDonalds straws but definitely bigger than normal straws. I think they make them a little wider than normal straws to support the little spoon on the end.

They are for the 9oz. Didn't know til they came in the mail. You can use it in the 6oz but it won't hang flush. It will curve, so you have to wiggle it to get the last drop of whatever you're feeding your little one. It's frustrating. Wish it was for the 6oz, but according to Zoli customer service, they only have one size replacement straw.

Not super wide. Scoop area is 1/2" wide and the straw part is almost 1/4", but a little less.
