I get what you mean about the straw thing being kind of a hassle, but for me, it actually made a difference—especially with super dark drinks like cold brew. I’m not always great about rinsing right after eating, so the straw was my lazy fix. That said, I totally agree on darker bands—clear ones never stayed clear for me either. Honestly, I just started matching my band color to my coffee habit and called it a day.
I totally relate to matching band colors to coffee—clear ones just never stood a chance for me either. I actually tried the straw trick for a while, but I got kind of paranoid about whether it was really helping or just making me feel better. My dentist mentioned even stuff like soy sauce and balsamic vinegar can stain, which honestly made me worry about every meal. Has anyone noticed certain foods or drinks causing more staining than others, or is it just me being overly anxious?
