BICRound Stic Grip Xtra Comfort Blue Ballpoint Pens, Medium Point (1.2mm), 12-Count Pack, Excellent Writing Ballpoint Pens With Soft Grip for Superb Comfort and Control

These pens write great, smooth and fluid. Definitely my “go to” pens, and super affordable.

I remember using this style years ago, and have used a lot of different pens since then. But this "cheap" pen...this humble, little, no-nonsense writing utensil...provides the smoothest writing experience I've had. Smooth! I feel like I don't have to fight with the paper to get the words down. Actually, I'm seeing my penmanship improve as I use it! Perhaps because my wrist and fingers are more relaxed with this pen than with other kinds of ballpoint or gel ink pens. I like gels, but I don't feel like I have the same kind of control. My cursive gets scrabbly, like a doctor's prescription writing, when I use other pens. You may also be pleased with the ease of this Bic comfort stick pen.

These are my favorite ballpoint pens! They last a long time and the writing is always darker and bolder than with cheaper similar type pens. I will continue to use these for a long time!

Awesome product

I love the flow of the ink in this pen. It is smooth and streak free. My only concern is that it is very hard to uncap if you place the cap to tightly on the pen itself. It will pull the refill right out of the pen while you tug to get the cap off. Place the cap gently after use and not too tight on the pen itself.

Great pen - I have been buying these for years.

If you are going to take the time to hand write notes or letters, at least use a very comfortable pen. These are worth the money and everybody has been trying to walk off with them, so that verifies the snag test sort of like a good lighter from the same manufacturer. These provide a crisp smooth fine line and the soft comfort rubber lined ring on them really reduced fatigue as well. Pick up a box, but only have one on the desk at a time .

Only one thing I would change about these AWESOME pens: Make them thicker where you hold them to write, like the beginner CRAYONS....remember, those 8 big, wide crayons, which were easier to hold and color with? I'm a chronic pain patient due to a "not-well-known" connective tissue disorder that acts and feels like arthritis. I'm always looking for broader pens, with a SOFT barrel, so it doesn't hurt to hold and use it. The INK and ROLLERBALL make these pens a DREAM to write with....EXCEPT or UNTIL my fingers and hand start CRAMPING from trying to hold onto such a narrow pen. I know you weren't trying to make a pen for people with arthritis or anything like it, but many people have this issue with narrow writing instruments, so I just HOPE AND PRAY that this company, that makes such an AWESOME ink and rollerball that flows across the paper like a dream, will think about making pens with either BROADER barrels, and/or SOFTER barrels where you hold the pen to write with it. Thanks for listening!! Do you make this ink/rollerball in REFILL form, that we might be able to use in a nice, WIDE, SOFT-SIDED pen?? I hope so! I HAVE 3 such pens, that NEED refills, but I don't know what brand. I can't use DR GRIP, because they are JUST TOO HEAVY!! Mine are lightweight, with a spongey barrel where you hold it to write with it....a REAL gift, but I need to find which REFILLS will work with them.
