ARK's Premium One-Way Valve makes drinking easier by controlling the direction of fluid - fluid flows up into the straw, but does not empty back into the cup. Because fluid always stays at the top of the straw, less effort is required for each sip and less air is ingested. As a result, users tend to experience less coughing while consuming more fluids. The valve is easy to take apart, clean, and put back together. Highly recommended for individuals with oral motor difficulties, a weak suck, or problems generating and maintaining suction.

Usage Guidelines

• Not recommended for carbonated beverages
• Recommended for thin liquids (water, milk, juice without pulp, etc.)
• For thickened liquids:
  • "Nectar" consistency works fine
  • "Honey" consistency is harder to suck through the straw, but does work
  • "Pudding" consistency does not work, as it's too thick to drink through even a regular straw without a valve.
