straws??

why is that they don't want us to use straws.i've forgot ,but i use a straw alot and havent had any problems?????

I heard that they put air in your pouch. I don't know. I use a straw also. I just keep the water in my mouth until its not cold any more before I swallow. No problems yet. I wasn't getting enough liquid sipping

2 reasons, yes the air is a big one, but also, we are only supposed to put in 1 ounce every 7 -8minutes or so. (max 8 oz per hr) Good luck doing that with a straw or having any kind of idea what intake you have. I do not want to hurt, and I do not want to stretch my pouch, so it is 1 ounce medicine cups for me, and I am fine with that. GO SEAHAWKS WIN THE SUPERBOWL !!
