Amazon reviews of [amazon_link id="B004F9QBE6" target="_blank" container="" container_class="" ]Bic’s “For Her” pen[/amazon_link] are the best Amazon reviews ever.
Women are uniting in the reviews, arriving in droves, to poke a little fun at the ink-pen giant. I think the message to Bic is pretty clear: Women don’t want pens, marketed to us, like a bad tampon commercial.
The top reviews were written by Tracy Hamilton and breemeup.
Giving the pens five stars, Tracy Hamilton writes:
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.
Also rating them with five stars, breemeup writes:
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 manner, 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!
The men-folk aren’t missing their chance to be heard. Giving the pen one star, P. Davies chimes in with:
First of all I’m a male. I picked a pink one up by mistake to write a quick note… Next thing I know I’m sitting down to take a pee. Be careful.

Hopefully Bic can see that we ladies just need special razors. We don’t need sleekly designed pens.
What would review of the new girly-pens be? Do you know of any other products that received funny Amazon reviews?

Enjoy
This just totally made my day!
Look at the customer photos for “horse head mask” on Amazon.
Honestly we don’t even need the razors. I think all the pink and flowers and now even scents for crying out loud must get in the way of the blades making contact with my skin. I’ll stick to my husband’s plain blue pivots. They shave better than anything else I have ever tried.
Only a man could be behind this marketing ploy!! Love it (the reviews, not so much the marketing).
best. thing. ever. this totally made my day. thank you, intelligent, brilliant women (and men) who wrote these reviews!
Hilarious.
It is kind of like the “reviews” for the recipe for “ice cubes” on food.com. Haha.

Next they’ll be making gay men pens…
Love it! There are some hilarious reviews on Amazon UK for a product called Veet for Men Hair Removal Gel Creme… **Warning** – these reviews contain some fairly crude language! So I wouldn’t read it at work if I were you…

My true favourites of the reviews were from the menfolk. I read quite a few (after I wrote my own, of course). Many of them have started to menstruate!
