Review: Perfect for those having difficulty with grip and writing - 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 desertcart! 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. Review: Smooth ball point pen! - 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 ## Features - Vibrant gel pens ink dries in as little as five seconds to prevent smearing; a smart choice for left-handed writers - Versatile 1.0mm medium point black ink pens that are great for everyday writing at work, school or home - These black pens have ultra smooth writing for all your writing needs - These BIC pens have a convenient plastic clip to attach to pockets and notebooks - Convenient retractable pens with a extra soft silicone grip ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B01C37RFIM | | Additional Features | Retractable | | Age Range Description | Adult | | Best Sellers Rank | #13,099 in Office Products ( See Top 100 in Office Products ) #344 in Ballpoint Pens | | Body Shape | Round | | Brand Name | BIC | | Closure Type | Snap | | Color | Assorted | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (1,018) | | Drill Point | Medium | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00070330351707 | | Grip Type | Silicone | | Hand Orientation | Ambidextrous | | Hardness | 7H | | Included Components | Ballpoint Pen | | Ink Color | Black | | Item Dimensions | 0.72 x 2.5 x 7.63 inches | | Item Type Name | Asst Barrl-Atlantis Comfort Pen Ballpoint Pen | | Item Weight | 0.3 Ounces | | Line Size | 1_0_1_9mm | | Manufacturer | Bic | | Material Type | Silicone | | Model Name | bic | | Model Number | VCGUP11X | | Recommended Uses For Product | Home | | Style | Refillable | | UPC | 070330351707 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | | Warranty Description | BIC Performance Policy | | Writing Instrument Form | Ballpoint Pen | | Writing Technique | ballpoint | ## Product Details - **Age Range (Description):** Adult - **Brand:** BIC - **Color:** Assorted - **Ink Color:** Black - **Writing Instrument Form:** Ballpoint Pen ## Images ![BIC Glide Ultra Comfort Retractable Ballpoint Pens, Medium Point (1.0mm), Black, Assorted Barrel Colors, 1-Count Pack - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51QLmfpKSWL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: What is the length of the refill? Not the 1.0mm point the entire length** A: 4 1/4 inches. **Q: What color is the ink on these pens - are they all the same color ink- and are they 1.2mm or 1.0mm?** A: At the bottom right corner is the ink color. They are 1.0mm **Q: Just one pen for over $7? Or are there 3 pens? Thanks!** A: I paid $3.40 per pen over four months ago. This price hike to $7.80 is highway robbery! Back to the stone age with charcoal for me. **Q: Can I order just the turquoise pen in the main picture or do I have to get the pink and black also?** A: You only get one pen and the seller picks the color. Could be either pink, blue or gray. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect for those having difficulty with grip and writing *by L***Y on January 9, 2024* 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.

Zero smear, and the comfort grip is amazing compared to the ref box pens without it. Definitely an everyday good pen ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I love this pen so much that the pen ran out of ink after three months and 22 days! *by B***K on March 28, 2021* 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. ## Frequently Bought Together - BIC Glide Ultra Comfort Retractable Ballpoint Pens, Medium Point (1.0mm), Black, Assorted Barrel Colors, 1-Count Pack - BIC Atlantis Original Retractable Ball Pen, Medium Point (1.0 mm), Black, 4-Count - BIC Atlantis Ultra Comfort Retractable Ballpoint Pen, Assorted Barrel Colors, Medium Point (1.0mm), Black --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/30930400-bic-glide-ultra-comfort-retractable-ballpoint-pens-medium-point-1](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/30930400-bic-glide-ultra-comfort-retractable-ballpoint-pens-medium-point-1) --- *Product available on Desertcart Great Britain* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-04-22*
