StickyISH Notes
on June 9, 2025
Posted by: NikeRob
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Staples Notes get the job done in the simplest sense—but after using them extensively I wouldn’t recommend them for anyone who needs reliability or consistency. There are better options out there and I’d gladly pay more for them next time. I use sticky notes constantly as part of my daily workflow—jotting ideas tasks lists and the occasional sketch. I post them directly on my desk monitor for quick visibility. In terms of size (3” x 3”) they’re exactly right—no complaints there. The soft yellow color is another plus: easy on the eyes subtle and far preferable to the neon tones that dominate this category. The problem is adhesion. It’s inconsistent to a frustrating degree. Some notes stick well enough to stay in place for weeks while others detach and flutter down within an hour. I’ve had more than a few land on my desk or keyboard mid-task—not ideal. More troubling is how dependent the sticking power is on how you peel the note off the pad—something most users shouldn’t have to think about. If you peel carefully straight back and perpendicular to the adhesive edge you’ll get decent adhesion. But if you peel in the more natural intuitive motion—diagonally from corner to corner as if turning a page—the failure rate is astounding. In my experience roughly 1 out of 10 notes peeled this way will stay in place. The rest fall quickly. This is simply poor product design. A sticky note should not require a technique to perform its most basic secondary function—sticking. On the plus side the notes do not leave visible residue and the quantity is generous: 24 pads 100 sheets each. But bulk doesn’t compensate for unreliability. I’d much rather spend more per note on a product that works consistently—especially in a professional context where I need notes to stay visible and accessible without fail. Bottom line: these are usable for throwaway notes or low-stakes applications but not for anything where reliability matters. I won’t be buying them again. Saving pennies per note is not worth the hassle and inconsistency. When it comes to tools—even simple ones like sticky notes—I’d rather invest in quality I can trust.

NOT STICKY
on May 15, 2025

I really wanted to like these; however they DO NOT stick at all. I've tried to stick them in my notebooks and have to tape them down. I've tried to stick them on my monitor for reminders and they fall off. These have 0 stickiness. Please fix this!

These notes fall off almost immediately after being stuck to a vertical surface. Beautiful colors though!

Great sticky notes

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love these sticky notes! They’ve been a huge help when I work the colors fit my girly aesthetic I have going on in my office. They are the perfect size and they stick so well! I haven’t had any issues with them falling off of any surface I put them on and taking them off and putting them back on hasn’t been an issue either! The colors allow you to see what you’re writing just fine and I love that the variety of colors lets me color code my notes!
