RIP soggy paper straws, the Stretch Stick has officially launched in Australia!<\/h3>\n

https:\/\/stretchmeco.com\/<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Socialites no longer have to suck it up, and can now sip back and relax with the introduction of Australia\u2019s very own Stretch Stick!<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The Stretch Stick, is a super cute, collapsible metal drinking straw, designed to help Australians enjoy their drinks at their own pace while they\u2019re out and about!<\/p>\n

Founder of the Stretch Stick, Sydney local Diana Gligorov, says her motivation behind creating the premium straw line arose from the recurring problem of the dreaded soggy straw.<\/p>\n

\u201cI would be out at a restaurant with my girlfriends or grabbing an iced coffee at work, and drinking through a paper straw was such an irritating experience,\u201d Miss Gligorov says.<\/p>\n

\u201cRather than being able to savour every sip of your drink, a paper straw practically forces you to drink quickly or not at all.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a first world problem but a cocktail costs close to $30 nowadays and especially in this economy I do not believe we should be rushed through it.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI had a look at what was available on the market, and I couldn\u2019t find a sustainable, dependable, aesthetically appealing drinking straw that met all environmental, functional and lifestyle customer needs.\u201d<\/p>\n

As a result, the Stretch Stick was born, which differentiates itself further from other reusable straws on the market through its cute, compact case and \u2018stretch to your cup size\u2019 ability.<\/p>\n

The former Senior Risk Manager was recently made redundant and will use her payout to fund her business with the hope to expand the product range to include more products that significantly improve the user experience of other existing eco products that exist today (wooden cutlery, watch out). She says the Stretch Stick\u2019s functionality makes it convenient and easy to use anywhere and everywhere.<\/p>\n

\u201cEach Stretch Stick comes in a cute, mascara-like case that you can easily throw into your bag or attach to your keychain so you can savour every sip (sustainably) while you are out and about,\u201d Miss Gligorov says.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo use, simply open the case, expand the Stretch Stick according to your cup size and sip via the silicone tip.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cOnce your drink is finished, simply clean with the collapsible brush included or pop the Stretch Stick back into its case to clean at home later\u201d<\/p>\n

The Stretch Stick is now available for sale at $29.99 in multiple colours via www.stretchmeco.com<\/a><\/span><\/span> .<\/p>\n
