One Way Drinking Valve

ARK's Premium makes drinking easier by controlling the direction of liquid. The valve allows liquid up into the straw, but it does not empty back into the cup. As the liquid always stays at the top of the straw, less effort is required for each sip and less air is ingested when drinking. As a result, users tend to experience less coughing while drinking.

The one-way flow valve is easy to take apart, clean, and put back together. It is highly recommended for individuals with oral motor difficulties, a weak suck, or problems generating and maintaining suction while drinking. Just insert the tapered end of the one-way drinking valve into the bottom of a straw and you're ready to drink.
