Glide Ultra Comfort

Love this simple ball point pen! Zero smear, and the comfort grip is amazing compared to the ref box pens without it. Definitely an everyday good pen

Before I start: if you appreciate a thicker, solid line from your pens, then you’ll prolly love this pen. If you prefer the finer, hair-like output of a fine-line pen, then close this window and keep looking. This line is 1.6mm, and you’ll prolly prefer a .7 pen instead. Now onto the review: I spent my life using BIC Crystal Stick medium-point pens as the thickness of the ink was perfect and they write so smoothly, but I recently accidentally picked up someone’s Atlantis Comfort pen and then rued the many decades I spent writing with THE most uncomfortable pen on planet Earth! (If you’ve never used one, you won’t know that the Crystal Sticks are eight-sided hard plastic, and the corners cut into the soft flesh of your finger as you write. And if you’re agitated or energized while writing and holding the pen in a death grip? In just a few minutes, you’re in a good deal of pain.) (And if you write a lot, you develop a semi-permanent hump in that spot on your finger, too. Don’t write for awhile and the hump gradually goes away... until the next time you begin a writing binge.) It never crossed my mind that I could have both smooth, perfect ink flow AND a comfortable pen in one ... until I accidentally stole this one from someone needing my signature. The rubbery grip doesn’t cut into my flesh the way the Crystal Sticks do, but rather massages it like a well-paid physical therapist. I gather this is the reason I ran out of ink as quickly as I did: when reaching into my pen cup (which is stuffed with a variety of pens and markers in different colors), this is the one I reached for most often. I see people leaving very silly reviews about the color of the pen or of the ink because they don’t bother to read the details on the page which are provided so that they’ll know exactly what they’re getting. Because I read the details on pages which are provided so that I’ll know exactly what I’m getting, I have no such complaints (though even if I did, I’m not so petty as to whine about about it, revealing to the world my inability to read a product description). This is the best pen I’ve ever used, and the budget price makes it that much nicer to use! I donated all my Crystal Sticks to the cancer treatment center up street; that was several dozen because every time I spotted a package with a dozen or two of the Crystal Sticks for an outrageously low sale price, I’d grab it, figuring I’d eventually have enough to last me for the rest of my life. (Im a disabled vet, and when I see really good deals, I snap em up as im crazy price-sensitive.) I’m back here now to order more of these Atlantis pens (and the Atlantis Velocity pens, too, which come in a wide range of pretty colors (like pink, green, purple, blue, and so on) and are just as nice but have a narrower barrel). I can’t imagine that I’ll run into a nicer pen in this lifetime, and I’m perfectly comfortable with that fact, and this pen.

I fell and broke my right wrist - dominant hand (distal radius) at the first of November (2023) on my way into one of the classes I was taking for my degree in college. This resulted in my having to have surgery 3 days later to repair the break and place a plate and screws. Obviously, I couldn't write anything while in the cast! Once the Dr removed the cast I contacted to have a lot of issues with grasping a "regular" pen of any kind! So I thought back to when my son was learning how to write in kindergarten because he needed larger barrel pencils with grips! I am so THANKFUL I found THIS pen on the Amazon! I have tried similar pens but they just didn't feel right in my hand as I am teaching myself to write all over again! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you !!! The ONLY things I DON'T like is that there aren't refills that I can find? And the only ink color seems to be black and there isn't a choice to get blue ink I highly recommend this pen for anyone who needs that extra size barrel, a comfortable grip to it and all this pen promises! My handwriting gets more legible each day but I have a really practice and take my time.

Atlantis Ultra Comfort Retractable Ballpoint Pen Pros: This pen really has a lot of cushion in the right spot. Comfortable to write with. The ink flows smoothly. Comes in a variety of barrel colors. Nice quality pen. Cons: So far have only found this one on Amazon in the color Black. Haven’t been able to locate the refills for these pens. At the price of these pens, it would be nice to have refills, and for them to come in blue and black. This is a great little ballpoint pen, that is really comfortable to write with.

Great for arthritic hands & fingers and people who do a lot of writing. Nice wide, soft grip as well.

Arthritis makes it difficult to write lije we used to. These pens are very comfortable to use desymy arthritis.

This pen writes as smooth as butter! The ink flows effortlessly with zero smearing, and the quality feels top-notch. Honestly, it makes me want to write everything by hand just for the joy of using it!

Writes smooth. I love the grip. Makes it so much easier to handle. And its a Bic so it is much better than the off brands.
