The One-Way Drinking Straw makes drinking easier for people with weak oral musculature or those who have difficulty swallowing. The clear straw features a one-way valve which stays filled with liquid even after removing the straw from the lips, this reduces the air ingested and the effort required by the user, leading to less coughing and choking while drinking thin liquids. Adjustable clips hold the specially-design one-way drinking straw onto cups and glasses.
