Revolutionary article - must buy!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 20 August 2012

This pen is great. I bought it for all my female friends and relatives. It enabled them, finally, to write things (although they may not yet know to do so on paper; but you can only expect so much, really). I thought they were just a bit slow.

My mother, a hard-working woman who raised twelve kids single-handedly whilst doing all the ironing (as nature intended), was furtively abashed by her illiteracy. Long would she gaze upon her husband and sons' scrawlings and would dedicate five minutes a day (which she really should have spent making sandwiches) to pray that one day she would be granted the ability to create such scribbles of her own. She's still a little slow on the uptake, but this product has definitely helped start the ball rolling. We tried to give her men's pens but she used to rip the cartridges out and drink the ink. Typical woman.

Anyway, it's good that BIC are finally doing something to aid the plight of women. Hopefully a range of 'for her' paperclips is on the horizon - my wife has an awful time keeping her recipes together.

Ok pens but don't expect all of them!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 6 April 2014

The pens seem quite nice and smooth to write with. However I wasn't impressed with the state I got the pens. The box was opened and there was a pen missing (received 11 pens), I assume due to poor packaging.

I just never knew I needed these

I have spent all of my female life so far accidentally using men pens. I didn’t realise how much this has been holding me back: mind, body and soul. Since using these pens I have become a renowned writer and researcher of post-feminist ergonomics. And I have to give it to the Bic Corporation, male run thank God, they changed my life profoundly. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

Poinlessly gendered

These pens are perfect for the following things:

* Writing I Love You notes to put in the packed lunches that I dutifully make for my husband each morning.
* Preparing the shopping list and writing down other menial tasks that I have to complete each day.
* Delicately writing a little heart over my letter i's instead of a dot - how delightful!
* Writing complaint letters to companies who pointlessly gender inanimate objects - just kidding! I'd have to get my husband to do that. I'm just a woman, after all!

I'm a very manly man, so imagine my shock to discover I was pregnant after using this pen!

Thanks Bic, this is really going to cost me.

I could never write a shopping list before I bought these. Now, it's second nature

Life changing.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 3 April 2019

I used to be a strapping 6ft 3in male. I used one of these pens to write a note to remind me to fight someone later that evening after repairing my car that I’d driven to a forest for the purposes of lumber jacking.
All those notions passed away as I used this pen. Suddenly I “felt” more, I understood more. I wanted to call all my friends and just....talk, to ask them how they felt, if they were okay?

Later that Day, after listening to Shania Twain’s “that don’t impress me much” for the 48th time I had my first period. I subsequently ate a whole cake, screamed at a pigeon for being too aggressive, cut the sleeves off all of my own suits and painted the ends of my fingernails white. As I then sat in a bath that was more bath bomb than water designing my perfect wedding dress surrounded by enough candles to commemorate the battle of Stalingrad I decided that I just wanted cats now.

That was two days ago, I am now 67 and smell of cat piss, warm scones and sherry. My house is somehow on the top of a hill and all my teeth have fallen out.

I’m not sure I regret anything, I just know that I love Julie Walters.

Pens also leaked a bit.

Oh, l am so excited to have a pen of my very own. My mind is just a furry of shapes, colours & loud noises. I am afraid it may overheat 🤪

Ug! I tried using this Bic for her pen, but my clublike mandibles pawed uselessly at the sumptuous curves of the device. It felt like the first time I put on, accidentally I might add, a pair of women's jeans and fumbled with the baffling connection mechanism, beads of sweat coalescing on my brow as I felt the waves judgement fold over me from the incredulous onlookers; hear the muffled tuts and whispers of the baffled crowd, 'they know! They know!' an accusatory voice shrieked in my ear as visible shakes took hold of me, my chunky hands of masculine might dived for the safety of the pockets, then like a gunshot the sudden horror of my tribulations engulfed me and a despair wracked me to a level of overwhelming dismay. There were no pockets! Rocked to my core I unleashed a powerful roar and fled in chaos as the offending articles wriggled free of my manly legs compounding my wild escape with elements of slapstick. No, I will never touch a product designed for those of a feminine persuasion as long as I shall live

How do these letters work again?

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 10 March 2018

I’m so glad my husband bought me these! Those other man pens were just too complicated for my delicate lady hands. My hubby also kindly wrote this post out on paper for me with a masculine man pen, so all I need to do is copy it onto here using the letter boardy thing. Being a lady is so confusing, I mean how am I meant to write words on paper if I don’t have my specially special lady pen here? I can’t use a man pen!! Brenda told me her hairdresser’s mother in law’s cat’s vet’s sister used a man pen once and now she’s one of those lesbertarians. My hubbster would be so upset if I did that, I mean who would cook and clean for him?! Ladies, please buy these! Don’t try the scary man pens, it’s just not worth it.

It's CHANGED MY LIFE!!!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 6 February 2018

This pen has totally changed my life! Why wasn't it invented YEARS ago?

Growing up as a woman with a female brain, I'll admit I always struggled through school with those hefty big man-pens. Sometimes I had to sleep through Double Maths because the sheer effort of writing in my English class before left me mentally and physically drained. I tried throwing myself into netball in my PE classes, in the hope of building up my hand muscles, but I hated netball and could only ever catch the ball with my face. It seemed I was forever doomed to writing in only small, controlled bursts, with long rest periods and tea and biscuits afterwards.

But now - NOW! - I and my fellow sisters have been emancipated! I knew it was revolutionary when I saw its beautiful pink colour. Don't want to get all science-y on you (because we all know that kind of thing is rather dangerous for ladies) but some person somewhere has proved that the colour pink has proved to be energising for the female brain. I mean, look at Barbie - she can ride a MOPED now! But the clincher for me was when I read the tagline - "fits in your handbag!" Oh, thank god! Those man-pens were like lugging a bloody tank around. And I'm delighted to report - the Bic for Her really DOES fit in my handbag! Hurray - now I can leave my shopping cart at home if I'm going out and ever want to write something on the go!

Now, I don't want to seem ungrateful (because I DO deeply appreciate all the research, engineering and other complicated things that must have gone into creating this pen,) but... is there going to be a Keyboard for Her coming out as well? Because it's taken me over seventeen minutes to type this out with my lady-fingers, and I can't let myself get too tired because I still have to cook my husbands dinner.
