I can't do metal, I HATE the feeling of metal on my teeth. There are ones with silicon nubs on the end, but then that's more plastic...

Teeth? You are using straws wrong. They are supposed to only touch your lips

You've NEVER hit your teeth by mistake with a straw or fork or something?

Of course not never, but not often enough to even recall once really.

It sounded like you are chewing on straws or so. Sorry for the misunderstanding!

I use a metal straw with a silicon bendy bit on the end, and it's not like I throw away the bendy part.
