I'm fine with a paper straw.

I've got three or four insulated plastic glasses I got at Dollar Tree
a few years ago. Each of them came with a plastic straw that has a
bulge near the bottom and that end goes into the glass. The lid screws
on and the straw will not come out due to the slight bulge. Works great
and I'm never searching for a straw.

A super long handled 'straw brush' does a great job of washing that tube,
too.
