Pigeon StarTouch™ Straw Cup with Gravity Ball 250ml

The Pigeon StarTouch™ Straw Cup with Gravity Ball supports your baby's transition to straw drinking while promoting healthy oral development. Co-developed with a Speech and Feeding Therapist, it features a short textured straw tip to guide correct tongue placement, an EasyDrink valve for effortless sipping without biting, and a gravity ball base that keeps liquid flowing from any angle. BPA/BPS-free and made with 20% ISCC-certified bio-based plastic. Suitable from 6 months+.

Features

• Short straw tip — reaches only the tip of the tongue to promote proper tongue elevation and a natural suck–swallow–breathe rhythm as babies learn to drink from a straw.
• Sensory bumps on the straw — textured design guides natural lip closure and a correct drinking motion, helping build the oral motor skills needed for confident straw use.
• EasyDrink valve — soft, flexible valve allows effortless sipping without biting down or applying strong suction, reducing frustration for new straw drinkers.
• Gravity ball straw — weighted ball keeps the straw submerged in liquid at any angle, so your baby can drink comfortably however they hold the cup.
• 250ml capacity — generous size for full feeds and longer outings, without needing a refill mid-trip.
• Spill- and leak-proof design — fully sealed for mess-free use at home, in the highchair, or on the go.
• BPA/BPS-free and eco-friendly — made with 20% ISCC-certified bio-based plastic for a more sustainable choice without compromising on safety.
• Compatible with SofTouch™ bottles — the StarTouch™ Adapter & Straw Set (sold separately) converts SofTouch™ 240ml nursing bottles, letting you use the same familiar system at every stage.

Why parents love the Pigeon StarTouch™ Straw Cup with Gravity Ball

The jump from bottle to straw cup is one of those milestones that sounds simple until you're in it. Most cups either leak everywhere, require your baby to tilt their head at an awkward angle, or demand more suction than a 6-month-old can manage. The StarTouch™ solves all three. The gravity ball means the straw follows the liquid regardless of how your baby tips the cup. The EasyDrink valve flows freely without biting. And the short, textured straw tip does the developmental work of training the tongue without you having to think about it — because it was co-designed with a Speech and Feeding Therapist. For parents making the move away from the nursing bottle, it's the most intuitive starting point available.

FAQs

What age is the StarTouch™ Straw Cup suitable for?
The Pigeon StarTouch™ Straw Cup with Gravity Ball is suitable from 6 months+. Straw drinking at this stage supports healthy oral motor development, encouraging the tongue elevation and lip closure needed for a mature swallow. It's an ideal next step once your baby is ready to move on from a Pigeon SofTouch™ nursing bottle.

What is the gravity ball and why does it matter?
The gravity ball is a weighted ball attached to the base of the straw inside the cup. It keeps the straw end submerged in liquid regardless of the angle your baby holds the cup, so they can sip comfortably without having to tilt their head back. This makes it much easier for babies who are still developing their coordination and grip strength.

Is the StarTouch™ Straw Cup spill-proof?
Yes — the StarTouch™ Straw Cup is fully spill- and leak-proof. The EasyDrink valve delivers flow when your baby applies gentle suction and seals automatically when they stop, preventing drips and spills during everyday use and travel. It does not require biting or strong suction to activate.

Is the cup compatible with Pigeon SofTouch™ bottles?
Yes, with the StarTouch™ Adapter & Straw Set (sold separately). This accessory converts SofTouch™ 240ml nursing bottles to use the StarTouch™ straw system, so the familiar bottle your baby already knows can grow with them into straw drinking without needing to replace everything at once.

How do I clean the StarTouch™ Straw Cup?
Before first use, disassemble all parts and sterilise in boiling water for 5 minutes. After each use, wash the cup and adaptor with a sponge brush. A Pigeon Cleansing Foam Spray or SofTouch™ Straw Brush can be used to clean the straw and cup thoroughly. Ensure all parts, including hard-to-reach areas, are fully rinsed to remove any liquid residue.
