Bold lines with a quick drying gel
on October 8, 2026
Posted by: CaitlinC
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My main boast about this pen is how quickly it dries for being a gel pen. Even being right handed, I tend to smear gel pens easily. On top of this, my child is left handed, so I am always keeping this in mind when buying pens for the house. My child usually has to steer clear of gel pens, or be very careful when writing with them, but this gel pen almost instantly dries once it hits the paper, something I don't ever say about gel pens to be honest. It took me a few words to really get the ink going, which I didn't picture here, but after this I didn't have any issues with writing. The ink is dark and bold, and the lines are not too thin or thick. I wouldn't compare it to the line thickness of a standard pen, a bit thicker than that. Something to where you want to make a statement with what you write, but not use an actual permanent marker while doing so. Will definitely keep these laying around as I always appreciate a good pen.

Smooth and smudge free
on September 23, 2026

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] When writing, this pen feels great! It writes very smoothly and does not smudge the ink. I like how even though the ink is pigmented it does not bleed through the sheet of paper

Perfect fit in my small grip
on August 27, 2026
Posted by: CrissiG
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As soon as I received these pens in the mail and put them in my hand, I knew they’d be my new favorite! The sit perfectly in my hand, the grip isn’t too big or too small, the weight is basically non existent, and I love the way it writes.
I don’t like a fine tip or a “wet” look-pen. For me, this is comparable to a smaller tipped ballpoint but not small enough that the ink gets away from me or wet so that it smears. It’s absolutely perfect for me and I’ve gotten them in every color now.

Great pen
on August 23, 2026

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These were so nice to hold and easy to use! I did find that some of them dried out a little faster, but overall the smoothness of the ink was very satisfying.

There Are Better Options
on June 4, 2026
Posted by: JennaM
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The pens are super cute, and I love the color they are, although they still do write in black ink. The writing is a bit rough though, and these tend to skip a lot on certain paper and materials. I am more of a ball point pen person, so they were a bit to sharp for my liking. You do get a decent amount of writing out of one pen, and the pack comes with several others for a reasonable price. Not the best pens ever, but they’re okay.

This is a great non-smear pen with great ink that doesn't mess up!
on June 3, 2026
Posted by: lil_rayrayman
The comfort of this pen has always been comfortable for me. I'm always having to write multiple notes during school and I love how it's a non-smear design. The design has a cute grip on the bottom and it doesn't come off which I love you can get these pens in different colors, such as black, red and blue. The nib isn't too big nor too small. It's just right so you don't have to worry about those bulky lines. If you're always writing, I suggest to get the gel sharpie pens.
