@akseattle I wouldn't use anything that is cracking, or easily cracked, but if you have plastic drinking straws that are firm and pliable, those should be fine. Chopsticks work just fine, as well. I've used those, wrapped in plastic packing tape to join them at the corners, and then all the way around to make them thicker. The tape did not come off in the soap at all.
