Although the flair pens are not as bold as the sharpies, they don\'t bleed through. I can still write on the back of the paper. Also when you push down hard from the tip of the sharpie, the ink blobs and spreads. What I like about the flair pens is that even if you push down hard the ink doesn\'t spread- it stays contained. These are also odorless.\n\nNOTE: I also wanted to try out the ultra fine tip flair pens and got those as well, but those are extremely fine (I guess that\'s why they are "ultra fine"). The thing that I really like about the flair pens (MD point) is that they have a nice grip and they write smoothly. The only thing that I don\'t like necessarily like is the scratching sound that comes from it when I write with force- but then the solution to that is...don\'t write with force!\n\nMy advise: if you write small and separated- use a sharpie pen. If you write big/bubbly or normal( computer style) - use a medium tip flair pen. If you write cursive and write lightly - use the flair ultra fine tip pens.'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on June 3, 2017', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': "I got the 24 pack medium tip. I bought these for note taking and to color code my planner (Erin Condren LifePlanner). All of the colors in the 24 pack are different. They don't bleed through on my planner's pages and are easy to write with. The packaging was exactly as pictured.\n\nThey have a little heart detail on the handle (whatever you call it).\n\nI did a bleed and smear test with zebra mildliners and stabilo boss originals and pastels.\n\nI made up the color names for the pen test 😂 I don't know the actual names 😅\n\nIf these ever dry out, I'll probably buy more!"}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on January 24, 2018', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'I bought these for my planner and was pleased to see that they don’t bleed through the paper. All markers worked perfect, none were dry or empty like other reviews. They dry pretty quickly, so I haven’t had any issues with transferring or smearing.

They are excellent for coloring complicated patterns! I also really like the color selection. I want the tropical ones now! The fine tips and beautifully selected colors are wonderful!'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on March 14, 2020', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'I am a college professor. I give notes in class while lecturing, and I like to use colored pens as I switch between concepts. It helps students following along and not loose their place as they look from the screen to their notes. And these pens are the best! There is a great variety of colors. I use them *heavily* and they last at minimum 30 weeks. My students often end of up buying them, as well, because they like the look of my notes and annotations so much. My daughter uses them for coloring and art projects, as well. And her 2nd grade teacher uses them exclusively in her classroom, too. They’re for everybody! Super high quality, pretty pens.'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on September 18, 2017', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'I did not understand why so many teachers were obsessed with these markers. I was used to the ones that they made long ago where the tips would flare and wear down. These have a protective cover around the tips and the tips are firmer so that they do not wear down. I love them! I use them all the time now. I use a lot of color in my classroom and like the variety.'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on October 20, 2017', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'This pack is AMAZING, but pricey. As a classroom teacher though, I love having these on hand so I can strategically use color while giving direct instruction under the document camera while my students are active note-taking. It is much more engaging and also highlights important key words and makes connections across topics in math (for example, showing growth using the same color in a graph, table, equation, and tile pattern and showing the "starting point" in a different color). They last me a really long time because there are so many. A lot of teachers use these to grade. I love them for that too, but I recommend buying a full pack of purple or green for grading instead of using this pack so that all your grading feedback colors are consistent and you don\'t waste any of these colors.'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on April 22, 2016', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': "These have to be my absolute favorite pens! They are great. I use them for almost everything, from notes at school to signing forms. These pens come in a variety of colors, which really allows me to color code and organize my notes and events on my calendar and in my planner.\n\nThese pens are felt tip so they allow me to write nice and smoothly and I feel they make my handwriting look a little neater and more professional. I also like the fact that these pens write darker, but do not bleed through as bad as other felt pens I have used in the past.\n\nAdditionally, these pens have a great life span. I have ordered many different pen brands, especially felt pens and it seems as if they work for a month and then dry out. However, with these pens I have been using them since January and they are still writing like they are brand new pens right out of the package. I have also noticed with felt pens, that the felt tip can become loose resulting in some funny looking writing. But these pens' felt tips have held up really well, despite my tendency to bear really hard on the paper.\n\nAll in all, if these pens can survive my crazy writing habits than I am certain that they are an excellent addition to anyones desk and pen collection. I love these pens and cannot recommend them enough. I know for a fact I will be repurchasing these pens again, that is if this order ever dies out which does not seem like it will be any time soon."}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on March 17, 2021', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'Paper Mate Flair Felt Tip Pens are excellent products. They write very smoothly and consistently. The design of the pens are very sleek. The pens are comfortable to hold. The ink itself is very high quality and lasts long. Remembering to put the cap over the pens after use consistently will help prevent a shorter product lifespan. These pens are the best for writing and drawing that require thicker strokes. The price on Amazon is also usually lower than major store competitors.'}]
