They just do their job. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Favorite pen *by N***I on June 16, 2026* I love these pens, simple but consistent and reliable. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Terrific Value *by 1***D on October 2, 2018* These pens write smoothly, just gliding across the paper. In ease of writing, they do not quite equal gel pens, but they are close --- surprisingly close, and they are extremely low cost. I ordered these, and a box of the Extra Comfort pens. I can't tell any significant difference in the writing quality between the two for the short, note type entries that I make with them --- both are great--- but I can surely see and feel the improvement in tip drag and continuity of the line between either BIC's and the selection of generic hand out pens I had been struggling with. I do believe there may be a slight improvement in fluidity with the BIC 1.2 mm tips compared to the 1.0 mm tips, but again, if any it is not very much. Conversely, I don't see a lot of gain in comfort for the Extra Comfort pens for my use, but it might be there for more continuous use. For general purpose, intermittent writing, one could spend a lot of money and not beat the performance of these pens. For continuous, intensive writing, the relatively small barrel size of these (actually a hexagon cross section) might lead to hand fatigue compared to a more expensive pen with a larger barrel size. Personally, I don't think these pens are necessarily intended for extended continuous use, and have not downgraded them because of any discomfort that may or may not occur with sustained writing. Also, I think these may come with a tiny bit of seal, probably plastic, on the tip to keep ink from drying out in the ball mechanism. Pulling the tip across paper at a very flat angle while rotating the pen will clear anything that might be present, and prevent traces of grit from getting into the works when one starts to write. ## Frequently Bought Together - BIC Cristal Xtra Smooth Blue Ballpoint Pens, Medium Point (1.0mm), 12-Count Pack, Extra Smooth and Reliable Ballpoint Pens - BIC Cristal Xtra Smooth Ballpoint Pen, Medium Point (1.0mm), Black, For Everyday Writing Activities, 10-Count - Bic Cristal Xtra-Smooth Ball Pen - 10 plus 2 Bonus Pack (12 count) - Red Medium Point Ballpoint Pen --- ## 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.nl/products/16578064-bic-cristal-xtra-smooth-blue-ballpoint-pens-medium-point-1](https://www.desertcart.nl/products/16578064-bic-cristal-xtra-smooth-blue-ballpoint-pens-medium-point-1) --- *Product available on Desertcart Netherlands* *Store origin: NL* *Last updated: 2026-08-02*
