I used it for one day and the next day it started leaking. Then when i tried to fix it it broke and now the liquids dried out and when i push the retraction button thing the green part you unscrew bounces off. It might be that mine just got messed up from shipping or maybe i just pushed it too hard but honestly I just wasted $4.25.

I had first bought one of these because I had never seen anything like it. After sketching and drawing in red ink for for long, I used these to cover any unwanted lines. the first pen I had did great, but the second batch I ordered was more touch and go. I recomend them if you have al ight hand, since pushing down too hard will give you the double lines mentioned in previous reviews. This works better than the standard white out pen though, and lasts for quite a long time. Over all, I enjoyed this product.

First, it is awesome looking, and i am super partial to retractables!

The design and mechanism is a bit interesting. the white out cartridge is similar to that of gel pens. They managed to make it so you dont have to shake the damn thing every time you use it.

The flow of the white out depends greatly on how hard you push it. but be warned, you dont have to push very had to get whiteout out. In fact, for quite awhile i kept on pooling white out onto my paper. so white out with a constant controlled pressure for the best result.

The problem with this though is that the whiteout does dry out on the tip, making it difficult to start and difficult in making white out even. To solve this you may want to rub off the dried white out off the tip, or scribble with it on another piece of paper. (dont worry it wont get on your hands if it is DRY).

To make the white out look at its best, use a zig zag pattern like \/\/\/, and not swirlies. This is because it dries fairly "fast", and when you go over the same region again, it will not only make it thicker, but cause ripples and such.

And my final words about this is that, unlike other retractables, you dont have to worry about the ink drying up if you dont retract it. BUT, be careful to retract it back in its sheath before storing it, because the tip is very prone to leaks if something presses against it. you dont want to ruin other pens or your favorate bookbag with this.

I didnt want to say that because its VERYYYY cute, but, really, it just doesnt work AT ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!

This thing is so lame, whenever you try to make a correction, it writes in two lines rather than one, and there's nothing where you intended to make the correction in the first place. Because of this, I never use it. Overall; a complete waste of money :(

They are really GOOD, MY USES THEM CUZ SHE'S AND ARCHITECT AND WE NEVER EVER BOUGHT THE TAPE WHITEOUTS AGAIN

I love the color of this correction pen but it took me some time to get used to it, the ink is too thick but now I use it more often.

Disappointing! I decided to try this out, thinking that many of the complaints would be user error, but no matter how I experimented with it, I couldn't get it to work in a way that was useful. Plenty of correction fluid comes out when I press gently, but it comes out somewhat erratically -- it takes a moment to start, then gives a thick blob of white-out, then thins out a bit, difficult to maintain a steady flow. It's also very thick, raised quite a bit from the surface. As others mentioned, using this pen WILL dent the surface of standard sketchbook paper -- in order for the white-out to flow, you have to use enough pressure to push the little ball tip back into the pen, and even before the pressure is great enough for fluid to emerge, it dents the paper. The tip also clogs after each use, requiring cleaning between uses, sometimes midway through.

Application challenges aside, the greatest problem with this pen is the correction fluid itself, which really reduces this pen to junk for me. I might have been able to use it for whiting out larger areas in drawings, but unfortunately, once dry, the semi-gloss white-out fluid DOESN'T TAKE INK. All of the pens I tried -- including ball-points, Pilot Pocket brush pen, Zebra sign pens, and others -- would bead up on the surface, some barely leaving a line at all. The beaded ink on top of the white-out doesn't seem to dry, smearing and wiping right off even after 20+ minutes. Totally unusable.

I also purchased the Uni-Ball Signo to use as a correction pen. In contrast, the Signo covered black ink lines cleanly, dried slightly more matte, remained much flatter on the surface, and after dry, took ink well from all of the pens that I tried. It didn't cover *quite* as opaquely white, but it's easy to go over thinner spots a second time with this one. The one real advantage of the Whitia over the Signo is that the Whitia is water-proof, while the Signo will come off with water.

Regardless, I highly recommend the Signo over the Whitia. It's cheaper, too.

If anyone knows of a white pen as usable as the Signo but also waterproof -- I'm all ears!

Correction: Apparently, as far as the US is concerned, Newell Rubbermaid owns Uni-Ball and just relabeled this pen under the Liquid Paper brand to fit into the Rubbermaid division for correction supplies here in the US.

Good pen for correction. Works great. People complaining about 2 lines are pressing too hard. Only complaint is white barrel cracks easily. This is my second one of these that's done this!

This white out pen is great! You just have to lightly press the pen when you use it. I would have given it 5 stars, but the liquid is kinda too thick for me.....I would totally recommend it though!

I had high hopes for this as I wanted a super dense white for my artwork, but found it very difficult to keep an even flow going, the ball tip pushes through the mark and basically creates two lines instead of one, overall not impressed.

This whiteout pen is terrible. It writes a double-line of whiteout (two lines of white separated by space). Completely unusable.

it totally didn't meet my expectations.
But no doubt, the aesthetics is great. But the main function of correcting my mistakes....nope.....

i LOVE this pen
it works so well
perhaps the people below are complaining because u hav to lightly press the pen when you use it
but that is obviously to be expexted for any white out pen

Yeah I have had two of these.........and with both, the liquid didn't come out.....well not well at least!

Please restock!

This correction pen works well enough, the fluid flows best when the pen tip is moved in small circles over the relevent mistake, overlapping the fluid lines as little as possible. Compared to other correction methods, the novelty of a retractable correction pen is more practical than it would at first seem. The worries of losing a cap and having a correction pen or an entire bottle of correction fluid dry up completely are absent; though the pen tip will dry up between uses, a few small circles on the corner of a page will have the ink flowing in only a few seconds. However, I will mention that the fluid capacity is somewhat underwhelming, if you are by any means obsessive in your corrections, you might consider ordering more than one or sticking to the bottle and brush approach. If you don't mind a Liquid Paper logo and a lack of options in body color, this pen also is available in most office supplies stores in the United States and is sold as a package of 2 pens with white bodies and bright green accents under the name "Click Correct". On an interesting side-note, Liquid Paper is a Papermate company owned by Rubbermaid and Uni-Ball by Mitsubishi, two separate companies selling the same product in two different countries; Papermate might just be a little desperate for some innovation.
