A drinking straw to prevent wrinkles

Surprise: there is again something invented that we are supposedly supposed to worry about, namely lip wrinkles. Am I the only one who has never heard of this? Drinking from regular straws apparently seems to be bad for the wrinkles around your lips. Now a special drinking straw has been designed to counter this: the lipsy straw, where you no longer have to pucker your lips due to the horizontal model.

Personally, I don't believe that this special straw is the beauty secret against aging, because smoking and drinking from a water bottle will also cause lines. Still, for the lip filler enthusiasts among us, it is somewhat of a handy tool, because at first it can be somewhat annoying to drink from straws. But whether it is worth your money seems unlikely to me. You might as well just drink from a glass, because taking such a straw everywhere with you seems a bit much.

Fortunately, I am not the only one who finds it exaggerated, because on TikTok it is also a much-discussed topic. After a plastic surgeon posted a video about it, everyone was in an uproar. Here were a few of the reactions: ‘The stress of thinking you need to use this straw to prevent wrinkles is gonna age you just as much’, ‘This is literally insane and so sad’, ‘Society makes up problems and sells you the ‘solution’.’.
