How do I use Tfees™ ?
Hot beverages
Remember to first test your beverage to check that it is at a comfortable drinking temperature, then simply select the appropriate size straw for your cup or glass and enjoy!
To-go cups
For hot beverages, first test that your beverage is a comfortable drinking temperature, then choose the appropriate size straw, place the straw through your to-go lid, and sip your beverage. Your Tfees™ Straw fits best, reducing spillage, when the bottom end is placed through the lid opening so that the tip of the straw sticks through the lid. Enjoy!
Cool beverages
Choose the appropriate size straw, place the straw in your cup, and sip your beverage. Enjoy!
To best protect teeth when sipping through a Tfees™ Straw, make sure tip of straw is placed comfortably in mouth between and behind your teeth without biting down on the straw.

Is it safe to drink hot beverages with Tfees™ ?
Absolutely! Tfees™ are made from Tritan™, a material that is heat-resistant and will not break down when exposed to hot beverages. Remember to always check your beverage before sipping to make sure it is at a comfortable temperature.
What does BPA mean?
BPA stands for Biphenol A. It is an industrial chemical used in certain plastic products. When these products become hot, BPA can be released into the contents of the product. When it is consumed, exposure to BPA can negatively affect the brain and is especially harmful to fetuses, infants, and children. Products made with BPA cannot be heated in microwaves, cleaned in dishwashers, or even left in the sun for too long, as the material will begin to break down from the heat.
What is estrogenic activity (EA)? Androgenic activity (AA)?
Estrogen and testosterone are hormones that are essential to many important biological processes in animals and humans, including sexual differentiation and development. Studies have suggested that certain synthetic and naturally occurring chemicals can interfere with these processes and lead to adverse effects. Endocrine disruptors are defined as chemicals that can activate or inhibit the human endocrine system and ultimately lead to adverse health effects. Among endocrine disruptors, chemicals that mimic estrogen and testosterone in living animals are said to be estrogenic (EA) and androgenic (AA), respectively.
What is Tritan?
Tritan™ is an amorphous co-polyester. The material is free of BPA, EA, AA and carcinogens. The characteristics of Tritan™ include excellent clarity and heat- and shatter-resistance. It is approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for repeated use in contact with food and beverages.

Will I still be able to fully experience wine?
Yes. Tfees™ is designed to bypass your teeth only, delivering your beverage over the full palate of your tongue. You won't miss a note!
How do I clean my Tfees™ ?
For best care, wash or rinse your straws and case soon after each use. Tfees™ Straws and case are dishwasher safe. They can also be cleaned with dish soap and water, making sure to rinse thoroughly. Debris or any discoloring is easily cleaned by soaking or light brushing with a narrow baby bottle brush inside straw and case, working from the tip, the end with the widest opening, to the end of the shaft. We also recommend choosing a brush that is labeled BPA free. Then rinse thoroughly with soap and water. Allow Tfees™ Straws and case to dry standing upright, with case openings facing downwards, before returning straws to case. The case is air tight when closed to prevent any leaking.
How often should I clean my Tfees™ ?
We recommended that you clean Tfees™ after every use.
Are Tfees™ safe for kids?
Tfees™ Straws are shatter and splinter resistant. Three sizes allow for better fit in standard cups and glasses. The patented design fits the mouth properly and allows for slow sipping. Young children below the age of three should always be supervised when using a straw.
Are Tfees™ made in America?
Yes! Tfees™ are 100% American made!

Did you know...
White wine contributes to stained teeth, too! Although it doesn't have much color, the acid in white wine erodes enamel, leaving it open to staining.
Tooth enamel is the strongest substance in the body. It protects your teeth from wear, heat, and cold. But when enamel erodes, the nerves of your teeth are too open to stimulation. That's what causes pain!
All teas stain your teeth. Just like berries, tea is good for you, but can cause tooth staining and erosion.
