Loddie Doddie Retractable Gel Pens - Pack of 5, 0.5mm, Black Ink - Smooth Quick-Dry Ink Pens for Journaling - Ergonomic Grip for Nurses - Silent-Click Retractable Design for Smooth Writing

I love these. Nice think barrel easy to hold. Smooth writing.

Writes well and has a good fine tip.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:Writes nice and doesn’t smudge

The first pen in the package blotted. The 2nd pen worked perfectly, as did the 3rd pen. The 4th pen had difficulty writing. It was like i was trying to use it to literally scratch letters on a wood surface, not on paper. After writing with all 5, I began to notice that my fingers kept sliding downwards, and I had to keep correcting my hold on the pen. My fingers were getting tired. So the grip was too large and slippery.What I did really like was the looks of the pen. Classic and simple. It looked very nice and professional. The "click" was very quiet, which I also liked. But because of the 1 pen being difficult to write with, and another one that blotted, I am giving it 4 stars. I like a pen that has some cushion around the grip.

I collect pens and these are one of my favorites. I started giving them out as gifts because everyone deserves a nice pen and people love them!

These pens write so well. They do not skip and does not smear! These are my new favorite!

SO good. Love these. I use them for everything now.

The ink is not as dark.
