Sharpie Gel Highlighter Pen - Orange

great highlighter for use in textbooks and on bible pages since it doesn't bleed through! can cause smudges on heavier inks like sharpies but only if the ink is wet. good product!

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this highlighter. Orange is my favorite color. Always disliked the 'wet' highlighters, bled through paper & squeaked. Apply medium pressure, will lessen the flaking- off. The gel just glides smoothly over paper, unlike the 'drag' I experienced with the wet highlighters. And it smells like Play-do!! Time will tell if this fades like wet highlighters always did for me.

This is a different looking orange than most highlighter oranges, but it mixes things up. It has more yellow in it. This is basically a smooth, floerescent crayon. I have a feeling this will run out quickly, so I only use it occasionally. An okay highlighter.

I really like the idea of this highlighter. Have 3 in orange, yellow and pink. The texture is great, it's easy to highlight and i don't worry about it bleeding through my pages. If i highlight with too much pressure, clumps do fall off that feel like crayon bits. I don't mind it much - i just have to be more gentle in my highlighting. The coverage of the pink one isn't as good as the yellow or orange. Highlighted text feels slightly waxy and has a somewhat faint citrus-like scent. I've been using mine for 2 weeks now and have shaped the tip into a sharper end instead of the original blunt edge that it came in. Overall, i'm glad to have found this. I don't have to buy a pack of 12 crayons just for the 3 colors anymore. :D

In theory this is a good idea for a highlighter, but it is not really a gel. I would say this is more like a giant fluorescent crayon. Since it's more waxy than it is ink-like, it doesn't smear or bleed when you use it, so it lives up to its reputation. However, the texture is quite weird, to the point where I hate using mine. Also, you can't really shape the tip to your preferences...it's just sort of bulky and awkward.
