We bought these pens for our son to use for schoolwork. Like many boys he tends to be a bit untidy and so the pens are useful for him to correct his work and avoid having a page of crossing outs.The minor criticisms I would have, from the viewpoint of a parent are:(1) The barrel could benefit with being thicker for a child(2) The ink flow is not always that smoothNotwithstanding the above these are clearly some of the best pens in the market for schoolchildren…..….however two weeks before his exams disaster struck. One weekend he opened his history exercise book to find all his essays had vanished.

Many years ago my mother bought me a Papermate ball point pen. It was (and still is) beautiful, slim and silver in colour. At the time it was one of a new type - the ink inside was erasable. I always thought that what happened next was a shame.When it came out it was not happily greeted by all - most of the exam boards banned any pen that could be erased and therefore "hide any errors that the student might make" and that this was "cheating".Of course banning the pen was a stupid knee-jerk reaction because students could still cross out or scribble over any mistake they made ... and then there was liquid paper (Tippex) too; and since when was deleting/altering an error/mistake on an exam paper cheating!Anyway,

These pens are amazing, it's so easy to erase the ink from more or less any type of paper, just using gentle friction which doesn't leave any mess or damage to the paper. The only paper that doesn't react well is really lightweight newsprint or magazine paper.I find the pens invaluable for four main reasons:1. It's brilliant to be able to start a chart of information, knowing that you can return to it time after time to update the data. For example, noting down monthly income on a chart at the start of the year, knowing that the sums involved can vary. It's so easy to correct the chart & it'll look perfect.2. You can erase mistakes, or in my case the mess created when I fall asleep whilst writing notes etc.

I needed a pen to replace the one I got with my everlasting notebook.I couldn’t see anyone else commenting about how compatible these pens were and whereas some people had suggested on the notebook reviews that any water-based pen would work, I can safely confirm that is not the case.So, the quest was on to find something that I can use that won’t damage it permanently mark my book and can be easily removed when needed.I bought these pens a bit warily but tested them on the back page before confidently using them.I must admit I’m more impressed with these than the pen that came with the notebook as these wipe off so much easier whether using the rubber or a cloth.Whereas the supplied pens left marks on the pages,

I received one as a small thank-you gift, which I know was bought from Amazon.Coming from Pilot, these have a reputation to live up to. Several of the best disposable or refillable ball and gel pens I have used and continue to use have come from this brand as did the excellent but unfortunately no longer available nylon-tipped disposable fountain pen which was first introduced many years ago. The eraseable feature of these is covered by the small soft white plastic 'bubble' at the end of the pen. This may wear out with frequent use but the semi-transparent white plastic erasers should work just as well.The point is very small which produces a fairly fine line and there does not appear to be a broader version.

What’s not to like about these pens. The are really comfortable to hold, both for my husband who holds pens normally and me who holds pens ‘weirdly!’ The tip is just right to give enough ink to be strong but without being blotchy and where you have to wait ages for the ink to dry.The real beauty is that the ink is erasable, so if you make a mistake it’s not the end of the world. I think maybe these days we are all so used to typing that handwriting doesn’t come as naturally as before and it’s easy to make a mistake, that and, in my case, my mind is always thinking of the next thing to be done! I have spent ages choosing birthday cards only to make a mistake when I am writing and with these pens,

As stated in other reviews yes these pens are not exactly very black more dark greyish, having said that I love them and will buy them in future, they write really well and the rubbing out is fantastic as long as you write over what has been rubbed out it is un-noticeable, my two children aged 5 years and 9 years use these pens now for their homework and both enjoy using them, my 9 year old struggles with a lot of pens working for her (ball point pens are useless for her) as she is left handed but these pens are perfect for her to use!As a preschool teacher I now use these on all of my paperwork and updating my development books and general day to day observations ect, these pens mean my papers look much better,

I bought one of these for my husband who's a teacher, as he was getting frustrated when making mistakes while marking books. Both my husband and I do actually prefer biros to gel-ink (which this is) as the writing feels more controlled, however I had tried some erasable biro-style pens before which really hadn't worked well (the ink flowed badly and when it was erased you could still see the indent of the writing). This on the other hand really does erase perfectly with the eraser on the reverse of the pen. It has saved him a lot of time and scribbling out! The major downside is that the ink doesn't last as long as equivalent pens, but that being said I personally think it's still worth it.

Why have I not discovered these pens before? I generally hate writing and avoid as much as possible, but there are times where you have to write. And if you have to write, it’s great to have pens that you can rub it out as easily as these. I only purchased them because I bought a new goal planner that claims if you used the right pens “ you could completely erase it with the press of a button“. It turned out that they were talking about using these pens in combination with a microwave. I haven’t tried microwaving the whole book yet, but I have taken copious notes, actioned them, rubbed them out with the pen-top and then written on them again and so far it’s working beautifully.It helps to keep me organised because I rub things out when I’ve done them,

This is the only type of erasable pen I have used so far and I must say it's great! Erases really well, you can write on top of where you just erased, no problem at all. The blue colour is very nice. I prefer 0.7 to 0.5 because it stands out on paper well. 0.5 is a bit bleak for the paper I write on but is still better than an ordinary biro!The pens are quite expensive if bought on their own but are reasonably priced if bought in a pack (3pounds separately vs 1.53 per pen when bought in a pack of 12). The seller dispatched my order very fast and the pens arrived the next day.Ink lasts quite well but not as well as a biro. I am doing an engineering degree so I take a lot of notes in each lecture,

I absolutely 'adore' these pens and so does everyone else who have seen me use them. I practically use them every day at work because when I'm filling in documents for clients and they suddenly realise 'oh no that's wrong actually its....' I can easily just erase it out, without having to waste paper and a lot of handwriting!The negative points: The ink doesn't last long. I find that the 0.7 ballpoint it a bit too thick for my liking (although that's just my personal opinion) but I've just noticed they've created a smaller size so I'm going to give that a go instead. Its also not suitable for glossy paper because it tends to easily come off. And the ink on magazines tends to spoil the eraser tip i.e.

I have tried to upload a video to show this working but for some reason it won’t load. These pens are really smooth to write with and feel lovely to hold...BUT I have been searching and trying different erasable pens for marking fabric in that hope that it actually does work.I am very pleased to say that they work wonderfully on fabric in that you can either rub the fabric with the correct end of the pen but even easier and more effective is to simply hover the iron over the pen marks on the fabric and it immediately disappears.The pen erases on paper very well too and definitely recommend.To say I am pleased is really an understatement.

I was looking for an erasable green pen based on my previous experience in using red and blue erasable pens in US. I didn't expect at this stage they already discovered how to make gel erasable pens, but here we are - they did! This is the most advanced to date erasable pen I know, using ink gel that can be removed by friction either by using the pen intself (the part opposite to the tip) or any other rounded object that won't damage the paper you're writing on. Quite clever and so easy to use! The previous erasable pens I used have had normal erasers that, after a while, needed to be replaced. On this one, nothing is consumed when you erase! Only the ink. Very convenient...

I've honestly been wanting one of these pens for absolute ages, ever since they came out. Kids at school and a few friends had it and I loved it! Unfortunately, they were very expensive and my mum would not buy them. I didn't buy them because if I had, I would not really have that much money left. I've often looked on Amazon to check if there are any specials, although there haven't been. So when I came and saw this deal, I was over the moon! The postage was excellent and arrived within 2 days. When you write with this pen, it's so soft and smooth. When you rub out, it goes away. When I bought this item I knew that if it was put against a lot of heat, the writing would disappear.

I order a box of 12 Frixion pens approximately every 6 months, and couldn't get by without them. They are brilliant for note taking as I can go back and correct any mistakes without leaving any messy marks. They are also invaluable in my GCSE exams, because if the examiner can't read my scrawl, then he or she won't mark my paper. With my Frixion pens though, I can just go back and neaten up if my handwriting gets too bad. When you pick up the pen it feels well made; the lid clicks on so perfectly and it seems very solid. I have never had one break or snap in about 9 months of using them, and they don't half take a beating at school! For just over £1.60 a pen its definitely worth it.My ONLY criticism,
