So, yes, I know this is a first world problem....but I'm thinking some mom in this community has BTDT.

I love washing sippy cup parts in the dishwasher and dislike washing them by hand. I had been using the good 'ol Muchkin dishwasher basket which I put lids & valves inside and straws in the straw holder outside.

Then we got a new dishwasher this weekend and I am so pumped about the 3rd row. It has one of those flat drawers on the top which I have been putting spoons and sippy cup lids on. It is great not to have the basket take up a good chunk of space in the dishwasher - but now I don't know what to do with the straws. The silverware area looks like they'll shoot out.

Anyone have experience putting the straws on the top rack? Any good hacks for keeping them from flying around the dishwasher?

I would really be sad to have to go back to hand washing them.

Thanks!!!!
