BIC "For Her" Pen...Hilarious Amazon Reviews

[tishaLA]

5.0 out of 5 stars I am writing this in the kitchen. August 15, 2012
By breemeup
Finally! For years I've had to rely on pencils, or at worst, a twig and some drops of my feminine blood to write down recipes (the only thing a lady should be writing ever). I had despaired of ever being able to write down said recipes in a permanent matter, though my men-folk assured me that I "shouldn't worry yer pretty little head". But, AT LAST! Bic, the great liberator, has released a womanly pen that my gentle baby hands can use without fear of unlady-like callouses and bruises. Thank you, Bic!


5.0 out of 5 stars FINALLY! August 24, 2012
By Tracy Hamilton
Someone has answered my gentle prayers and FINALLY designed a pen that I can use all month long! I use it when I'm swimming, riding a horse, walking on the beach and doing yoga. It's comfortable, leak-proof, non-slip and it makes me feel so feminine and pretty! Since I've begun using these pens, men have found me more attractive and approchable. It has given me soft skin and manageable hair and it has really given me the self-esteem I needed to start a book club and flirt with the bag-boy at my local market. My drawings of kittens and ponies have improved, and now that I'm writing my last name hyphenated with the Robert Pattinson's last name, I really believe he may some day marry me! I'm positively giddy. Those smart men in marketing have come up with a pen that my lady parts can really identify with.

Where has this pen been all my life???

Now if only my husband would teach me how to write!, August 28, 2012

This review is from: BIC Cristal For Her Ball Pen, 1.0mm, Black, 16ct (MSLP16-Blk) (Office Product)
Finally, a step in the "write" direction, which I am told is a pun--but as neither my father nor my husband felt it necessary to teach me how to read and write, I will have to take their word for it.

(I am dictating this review to my son. Thanks, Buddy!)

1. Ha ha ha! Love it! My wife and I were just mocking these in the store last week!

"Bic for HER? What the *&%$ does THAT mean!?"

[LynneSin]

22. I'm guessing you're a man and you just don't understand the writing needs of us women

Typical man attitude! I'm sure you just want to repress us women back to the dark ages where we were forced to use archaic pens designed for the needs of men.

Shame on you!!!

27. Keep your laws and your dirty hands off my pens!!!

worry about your own damn writing needs and stop legislating mine!!!!

4. "CAREFUL BOYS" review is great!

1.0 out of 5 stars CAREFUL BOYS August 21, 2012
By Rachel
If you identify as male do NOT use this product.

The "for her" label is not just a gimmick exploiting archaic gender constructs, it's a WARNING. Even if you're a boy who likes pastels and glitter (which really I don't see why you shouldn't, what kind of moron thinks that only girls would like that kind of thing? seems kind of backwards to me) this pen is NOT for you. I don't know why they didn't put a clearer warning on the label, they really should have because if you are a boy and use this pen you put yourself at great risk. My little brother turned into a unicorn after I lent him one, and my friend told me that a boy in her class grew fairy wings in the middle of a test.

I'm serious, guys, be careful, these really are just "for her"! BIC, please, recall this product until you've made the warning more explicit to avoid more tragedy!!!

[awoke_in_2003]

21. This man won't be using them...

of course, I don't use ball point- fountain pens all the way. Seriously though, this Bic for women thing is stupid.

[csziggy]

55. This woman won't be using them, either

I don't like ball point pens and I really dislike pastels. Another reason is that with my big square hands, skinny little pens would be too small to comfortably hold (I've worn men's large size gloves since I was twelve).

And the concept of pens "just for her" is just offensively stupid.

[roguevalley]

65. maybe its a LGBT thing and this is pointed to the burgeoning Lesbian market out there

the Geraldo Riviera is flapping about. MMMmmm. I need one.

[rocktivity]

5. Good Lord, it's NOT a joke!

Clic the pic to buy the Bic!

8. I think my WTF meter just broke.

[undeterred]

12. Can I shave my legs with one of those?

[Stryder]

56. That was my first second and third thought.Joke for shure

And to Monmouth @23
I was a bit concerned where this was going
That is to say the OP

[gkhouston]

61. :facepalm:

Why not just market something called "Bic Slims" for writers who prefer smaller pens, and leave it at that?

[CoffeeCat]

6. "HULK DEMAND BIC FOR HIM"

Hahahahahahah!!!! Love it.

HULK NEED PEN WRITE NOTE

HULK ONLY FIND BIC FOR HER

HULK SMASH PEN

HULK SAD

HULK DEMAND BIC FOR HIM

[DefenseLawyer]

7. Those reviews made my day

It's always good to be reminded that there are still smart, funny people out there.

[monmouth]

23. Another one from a guy..Hilarious

“ I'm not a lady, so correct me if I'm wrong, but this product seems a bit lacking in girth to completely satisfy a woman's penning needs, if you know what I mean. ”

[Lucinda]

9. Awesome!

Thanks

[nadinbrzezinski]

10. I buy pens by the bucketful

These things are a tad more expensive than the crystal classics. (Perfect for a working reporter, cheap, so if I gets lost who cares?)

Yup, I should put that in a review too... Paying a premium for a marketing gimmick.

[Cleita]

25. Isn't that always the way.

Products targeted for women are always more expensive than the same thing for men.

[Jennicut]

11. But it has pretty pastel colors.

After all, we women cannot write in ugly unfeminine black ink, can we?

[undeterred]

14. Only if you're faxing.

Those girly colors don't show up real well.

[Warpy]

18. Well, the ink is still that ickydoodle black ink

but the company has at least responded to the clamor from women for a pen with less plastic in it, cheaper to make, that costs them more.

Once they correct that ink problem and make sure the pens run out in half the time it takes those big, clunky men's pens, we'll have the perfect product for women!

[LynneSin]

26. Actually I prefer writing with green ink

It's my signature ink. I the color green

[seabeyond]

38. you are such a girly girl.....

[LynneSin]

40. But this is forest green not girly sage green

although my car is girly sage green

[seabeyond]

42. ah... ok, tomboy.

i love green, too. though not for writing. only black. but, greens thru out the house.

[cbdo2007]

13. Am I the only one that thought this was going to be a vibrator pen?

[hootinholler]

17. yes. n.t.

[Matariki]

48. lol

[JoeyT]

15. I love that the snark is

the only comments that were voted as helpful.

My favorite was bronwyn's "I wasn't surprised to find that they last a bit longer then the male counterpart Bic pens, which run out of ink after only a few minutes and then they sort of wilt."

[dixiegrrrrl]

39. Amazon has great reader snark on some items..

it is almost the new Onion....

[barbtries]

16. it goes on and on at the site

I love the pretty colors and skinniness, but I'm only giving two stars because they're annoying. For one thing, they dot every "i" with a little heart. They also won't make periods at the ends of sentences; it's a question mark or exclamation point every time, also dotted with hearts--SUPER annoying. I went to okay a memo from my boss with the word "Fine" and it looked like I was coming on to him or something, which I wasn't. At ALL.

Secondly, they insert "like" and "um" randomly throughout whatever it is you're writing. I guess people still know what you mean but it takes up a lot of extra time and makes whatever you're saying sound dumb.

Where do the batteries go? I suppose I'd better ask a man. After all, they know so much about our magic ladyparts that they are perfectly confident in legislating for them.

I really hope Bic listens to all the favorable reviews and decides to expand their line into other products. I can only imagine a world with things like: Bic Keyboards for Her so I can finally use a computer, or Bic Remote for Her so I can finally wrest control of the TV remote from "him" so I can watch Lifetime and Oprah.

I purchased a set of Bic LadyPens for one of my wives (the one who knows how to write), using my own funds. (This should not come as a surprise, as women should not be allowed to come into contact with currency; their menstrual cycles will curse it and make it lose value, much as these cycles will cause wine to sour.) However, I found that, when given these pens, she began writing more frequently and more fervently. Soon, she was corresponding with other women (via the Postal Service, which, unbeknownst to me, now also accepts pieces of mail from women). Gradually, more and more radical ideas entered her mind. Sure, it started with her asking for simple things like a mortar and pestle (until now, my wives had ground spices with their knuckles), but before I knew it she was demanding to be shod! I blame the pens - clearly they were the catalyst for her awakening! I am currently away on business (I will be delivering an address to a large convention in Tampa this week), and I am honestly quite vexed about the state of my homestead upon returning!

[DLevine]

19. Now that was funny! Thanks, I needed the laugh. n/t

[SunSeeker]

20. WTF? Do they vibrate?

[gollygee]

28. Wow. I've been writing with the wrong pens all these years

Oh no! I must correct this immediately!

[Canuckistanian]

29. One of my FB friend's contribution

I allowed my wife to write the grocery list with one of my pens.
Shortly thereafter she went out and bought a bunch of flannel shirts, cut the sleeves off and grew a mullet. While she was writing her feminist manifesto, I secretly switched out the man pen with a BiC For Her. She's now back to baking apple pies, vacuuming in heels, and popping bennies in order to keep her girlish figure... like a proper American gal.

[mlevans]

30. I particularly liked this one.

It was headed "Me man! Me mad!"

This make me mad How come you not make pen, too, for me, me man, me? Me man! MAN! No pen, no man pen for man! Ugh! Me can make, work pen, pen work make letter TOO. Not lady alone! You make inaccessible, neutered pen, for eunuchs and androids, and lady pen, make lady-parts pen for princess, princess, but you, why you, no make pen for UGHH YOU NO MAKE MAN PEN! MAKE ME MAD INSTEAD! WHEN DAWN OF MAN TO COME!!!

31. Amazon is a spawning ground for would be comedy writers.

I sometimes enjoy just reading the reviews there.

Thanx for posting. K&R

33. Bic Pen Review!

Aren't these Bic For Her just a big ol' cup of lovely? These little pink and purple morsels from heaven are just divine. Divine, I tell you! The sparkles brighten a girl's day like a refreshing cup of pink lemonade after a long day of shopping for just the right sponge rollers. Can I get you a cup of pink lemonade ((((bats eyelashes)))?

After I spotted these dear pens at the corner store, I threw down my parasol, smoothed my petticoat and declared that someone finally understood want a lady needs! My need for sparkles. My need for sugar-soft pastels. My need to write special thank you cards to the nice man who pumps my gas and helps me to avoid unsightly grease stains on my poodle skirt. (((gasps)))

Bic is just the mostest. Tonight, when I open the lid on my hope chest and gently remove my flowered diary--I will include a poem that will soar off the pages with glittery purple words. A tribute to you, dear Bic--for loving us females enough to create a pen just for us! (((curtseys)))

**Ode to Bic** (((((double curtseys with a half turn and a giggle)))))
My meatloaf recipes
were dull and sage
now your glitter
lifts them off the page!

My menstral journal
was penciled gray
Now pink sparkles
chart the days!

Oh my butterfly doodles
were boring and stark
Now my I's are dotted
with little pink hearts!

Thank you dear Bic
for the sea foam and peach
to write my new beau a note
while I laze at the beach!

Smooches and hugs to you, Bic! We gals owe our newfound glitter power to you! I offer you a pastel rainbow of thanks--sincere and wondrous just like your pens! (((twirls parasol)))

[Aeroette]

71. Love the poem!

This review is from: BIC Cristal For Her Ball Pen, 1.0mm, Black, 16ct (MSLP16-Blk) (Office Product)
This product is fantastic for those days when my prose is suffering from that not-so-fresh feeling. It even fits conveniently in my purse, and I don't have to feel embarrassed if it accidentally falls out when I'm searching for the tight white pants I'm going to wear while horseback riding on the beach. If I could count that high, I'd give this product SIX stars.

[seabeyond]

35. that is funny. we laugh at the dr pepper for men commercial.

i was reading to son and he got a chuckle.

44. Awww, more stuff from the website:

[NightOwwl]

45. A few more :D

GOP-approved?
If I can't be trusted with my own uterus, how on earth can I be trusted with a glittery pen?

Lady pens for ladies!!
In the past, I'd done all of my writing with man pens. But those long thick shafts with their hard strokes were just too much for me, causing me to tear through my delicate and delectable Hello Kitty note cards. Also, the man pens would frequently explode their ink at the most inopportune times, getting it all over me and my Kitty.

But now, with the Bic Cristal lady pen, I no longer have such a problem. I rejoice in the inanely childlike colors of this pen, and the smooth thin barrel, which is just right for my feeble hands. I do sometimes miss my man pens, I confess, with their stunning girth and rock hard feel in my hands, so I can only give these lady pens 4 stars.

"Ball" point pen???
I love the fact there's finally a pen just for women, but I couldn't help but notice that it's still "ball" point. Aren't pens for men suppose to have the balls?? I insist you recall this product until you can make a fountain pen "for her".

[dixiegrrrrl]

46. "If I can't be trusted with my own uterus, how on earth can I be trusted with a glittery pen? "

Zing!!!!!!!!

[justanidea]

47. No Bic for Him?!?!?!

I feel discriminated against.

My lawyer will be contacting you, Bic.

[DesertRat]

50. Every other pen in the BIC line is for HIM

[SoCalDem]

59. Bic for men.. 12 inch long pen ..on the side " Yes, I AM happy to see you"

Now they need to have pants manufacturers start making deeper pockets

[Butterbean]

49. I saw a commercial for those on Nickelodeon this morning. At first I said WTF, then

I was just irritated. Little girls (and boys, for that matter) don't need to see that crap. SMDH. What the fresh hell??? Love those reviews. Thumbs up.

[ehrnst]

51. "Now if only it could vibrate..."

LOL!!!!

[Shrike47]

52. This thread and the link made my day. Thanks!!

[janlyn]

53. special toy

I recently bought the bic for her after my wife finished reading "50 Shades of Grey" because I heard all the middle aged womens were into toys these days and wanted someone that could read their mind and then make all of their wild, kinky dreams come true. I've never really been a toy guy, so I was a little apprehensive when I handcuffed her to the bed and blindfolded her.

Next, I took one of those skinny little guys and ran it up and down her thighs and then . When I thought the timing was right, I scribbled as fast as I could all over her naughty place. When that didn't work, I started jabbing her in the region with the tip, but nothing seemed to work. Who designed this thing?

I don't know if these things usually come with instructions, but for us this just didn't work. Is there a button or remote that wasn't included?


LMAO!!!!

[3auld6phart]

54. Seriously funny

Love the replies.

[riderinthestorm]

57. Kick for the evening crowd who probably needs a laugh as much as I did. Epic thread! nt

[central scrutinizer]

64. This thing is off the hook!

When I first looked at this morning, there were 13 pages of "reviews". It has doubled since then. There are some very clever writers out there. Who knew that Amazon.com would be so entertaining.

[Kennah]

66. Someone finally came up with a marketing ploy that is worse than New Coke

Only took 27 years

[Kennah]

67. If woman are liking these pens, then I guess size really does NOT matter

[DonCoquixote]

68. Let us not forget

Madison Avenue marketed Marlboros as a ladies cigarette, then decided to go for rugged, cowboys that were dumb enough to fall for that.

As far as the snark and comments, I applaud them, and have one thing to say in response.

"You've come a long way, baby."

[Kablooie]

69. The pens don't work for Math!

By KAV (Massachusetts)

I am a female AP and Multivariable Calculus teacher and I prefer to use ink when solving problems. I guess, not surprisingly, these pens cannot be used to do math problems more complicated than 5th grade level. When trying to find a derivative or definite integral, the ball point simply stopped working. I went back and added some numbers and it was fine. I progressed up to solving quadratic equations and the ball point started to "stick" so that I couldn't solve the problem completely. Imaginary numbers? HA! It was as if I had a pen with imaginary ink! As I moved into problems with Taylor Series, the pen started to get uncomfortably warm. By the time I tried to find the integral of a polar curve the pen burst into flames! I couldn't believe it! Luckily, I had on asbestos gloves by that time so there were no injuries. I couldn't even try it with a Multivariable problem!
I have decided to go back to using "man" ink for all future Calculus problems.
I did notice that the the purchase suggestion that comes with these pens is the recalled Talking Barbie that says, "Math class is tough!". Search for a video of that excellent product!

[Alduin]

70. I love the reviews.

I can't believe a company would think there should be a pen exclusively for us females.

I see they're smaller and come in pretty colors. So that makes them for her?

[cynatnite]

72. My ex-husband would want me to have this pen....
