I understand these straws are approximately 10.5" long. However, what it the width? Are they the standard 3/8" width that fit many insulated cups?

It is basically the same straw that comes with the insulated cups. I bought them because I needed one, and shortly after they arrived a straw in another cup broke and it worked for that cup as well.

I can't say for sure they are 3/8 in width. They are hard to put into the straw hole at first, you have to giggle them into place. Hope this helps.

I would say they are more like 5/16 from outside to outside of - just a little thinner that 3/8". And they fit my (just a little less than a 1/4" shorter than the green straw that came with it) insulated clear starbucks cup and also a set of 6 double wall insulated plastic clear colored cups I purchased at Sams Club. They were perfect for a replacement straw for both style of cups and came very quick.

The straws are a smaller width than 3/8". I would estimate the width to be closer to 5/8". These straws are the same straws sold with the plastic cups that have a screw on lid and that come with a straw.

Length is 8". Diameter is about 5/16", or about the size of a standard drinking straw.

Agree with B. Berry. I have just bought standard straws and they have all fit without a problem. Love this product

They are 2 part straws. Top is about 3.5", bottom piece is 5.75" and assembled about 9.25". They are wonderfully simple to clean and my kids can't hurt them if they try. These straws are a staple in our house.

Hey Randall, I just bought 10k of the same straws and they do not fit in this dispenser unfortunately. Did you ever find a dispenser that will work?

They are 1/4" in diameter. 10-1/4" long in original configuration (unstretched). Stretch out to 12-1/2" at full extension. Diameter is similar to fast food restaurants that use a straw that is skinnier than McDonalds uses.

it's the same as a standard straw, BUT as they are hard (acrylic type) there is no give. For example i have some older tervis cups with older lids that they won't fit thru, but the new tervis lids they will. i would say don't risk it. they are really cool straws though .....hope that helps ;)

They are the same size as a typical plastic straw unless it's a very tall tumbler you may not have as much clearance

They are 9 inches long and the same diameter of a regular disposable straw. I am extremely happy with this purchase.

I have never measured them, but they are fairly long. They fit in my largest acrylic cup with about 3 inches to spare. My guess would be around 8 inches long. Hope this helps.

I agree with chocolatemaven..... I think they are close to the same size as the plastic bendable straws. I love them !

They are 3" X 1 3/4" X 5" H (with lid). I have not had a problem with them leaking and I've been using these in my kids' lunches for a couple years. Do I double check them? Of course. The straws do get stretched out but even at that, I've only bought replacement straws one time. And, for the record, they are BPA free, as stated on the Rubbermaid website: http://www.rubbermaid.com/Category/Pages/ProductDetail.aspx?Prod_ID=RP091206#BVQAWidgetID

I guess that depends on how long a "Standard" drinking straw is. A previous respondent said it was 9". The ones I have are only 7 3/4". But to help you out, the bottle measures 7 1/2" from the base to the top edge without the lid. With the lid, and to the top of the drinking spout, it measures 8 1/2".

These straws r about 9". They r 6" to the bend and bend is 3". They r a bit wider than the plastic straws with the bend and the bend is longer. U won't be sorry with these straws or the stainless steel double wall glasses

Have never encountered a straw that doesn't fit in here, but then again, I thought straws were pretty much a standard size. I've tried different brands , straight ones and bent and all work...

They are 9 inch if your getting the 16oz straws. If your getting the 24oz straws theyre 10.5inches. I recommend the 16oz size for any cup you are using. I feel the 24oz are way 2 long in my option.
