Without compression, the valve stays closed in order to avoid spills! The valve is opened when the child bites or presses their lips down on it while sucking through the straw. It’s a similar technique to when they breast or bottle feed, and the straw’s functionality is meant to naturally mimic that familiar motion for them!
