Decent but one either jammed or ran out too quickl
on March 10, 2026
Posted by: AmberP
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Comfortable grip. Easy drag on paper. Ink didn’t spread or get on my hand (i am a lefty). However, maybe I got a defunct one because the first pen used ran out of ink. It just stopped working. The second one hasn’t had any issues.
Response from SharpieBy Sharpie® Consumer Care, March 12, 2026
Hello. Thank you for sharing your feedback on the Sharpie S-Gel Pen in Ocean Fog.
We’re glad to hear you enjoyed the comfortable grip, smooth glide on paper, and that the ink did not smear, especially as a left-handed writer.
We’re sorry to hear that the first pen stopped writing unexpectedly. In some cases, this can happen if air enters the ink chamber or if the ink flow becomes temporarily interrupted, which may cause the pen to stop writing even when ink still appears to be present.
You might try a couple of quick tips that can sometimes help restore ink flow:
- Scribble on a piece of scrap paper for a few seconds to help restart the ink flow.
- Gently wipe the pen tip with a tissue in case there is any dried ink buildup.
- Store the pen tip-down for a short time to help the ink settle toward the tip.
We appreciate you taking the time to share both the positive and negative aspects of your experience. Your feedback helps us continue improving our products.
If you have any more feedback, please reach out to us via our Contact Us form on our website. We’re available Mon.-Fri. 9am - 5pm Eastern Time.
Thank you!

my favorite

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love sharpie gel pens. They’re my favorite pen to journal with. They’re comfortable to grip and write with, you don’t have to press hard. The ink does take a minute to dry but that’s typical for gel pens. The color is cute too.

Sleek design and quick drying ink
on March 10, 2026

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The rubberized grip offers maximum comfort while writing. Love the sleek design of the pen barrel. The black ink is quick drying and doesn't smudge. The pen does take a moment to get the ink flowing but once it does, it writes pretty smooth.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really do super love these pens. I have had the basic ones before and they are my favorite! The new seafoam color is just too cute !!! I love that it comes in more colors now. They are smooth as silk and last a long time. Very comfortable grip and super easy to use

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This pen writes so well and it is so comfortable to hold. I love the color it is easy on the eyes and makes me happy to use. We need more pens in this color. There is no bleed and I think this is a great staple for my office space.

Perfect pens
on March 9, 2026
Posted by: AlexaM
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These are wonderful pens. They write so smoothly and do not bleed through your paper. They are very light weight and way to use. They are bold and dark ink without smudging.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These are absolutely wonderful pens! I love the color for one it’s so gorgeous! I also love that they have a tiny cover on the tip until you use it! I really think the ink is wonderful and comes out so smooth and dark. It’s also very comfortable to hold and not heavy which I love ! I definitely will be buying more!
