Not all pens are created equal

So yeah, there’s probably a reason you reach for one pen over another. To recap: If you’re filling out an important form, go for a ballpoint. Writing a lot and want to avoid hand cramps? Go for rollerball. Taking notes? Go for a gel. #pen#pens #school #studying #fyi

Wait pentok exists-? (This is genuinely the best ___tok I think I have ever seen)

[@blo0dchild]

I am a lefty and write all day. My go to is always the Pentel Energel. So many different colors and mm they're refillable. The OP is right about gel smudging on shiny paper (even this kind) so a Cristal as a backup works too.

[@HaloHighlightz]

Ballpoint for check-writing and forms
Rollerball for a lot of writing like thank you notes, school notes (let dry to prevent smudging)
Gel for comfort and smooth writing but will smudge on receipts

As a left handed person who doesn’t use the tripod grip, My brain is always befuzzled when watching righty’s write

[@spaceyparker]

I like gel pens for my work if I’m not using a thin line sharpie

[@juliemittel3931]

pens are just too much of a hassle for me tbh. i try to write with a keyboard when i can, and if i am writing on paper, i'll either use a pencil or one of those cartridge fountain pen things that drip ink if you shake themn too hard

[@rubyjackson6861]

Have you tried holding your pen between your index ans middle fingers? It can help if you get pain in your index and thumb in the normal grip

[@xarim4769]

I LOVE gel based pens, I use them for everything!

[@juneepie7984]

Those thixotropic pilot black 0.5 pens at the end are my go toooo

[@sarahgallant6536]

Me being a left: dang it I liked that pen

[@yandelabarra2867]

Anyone else still smudge their writing as a righty?

[@olgaggg]

Not most people use "tripod" grip. Never saw anyone hod pen like this. How do you even move it around if you hold it so tight 😮 Ty hold it like a chopstick and it will be much better on you fingers
