STABILO Highlighter BOSS ORIGINAL Pastel, Set of 6, Milky Yellow, Creamy Peach, Pink Blush, Lilac Haze, Hint of Mint, Turquoise

If you are like me, you probably have read 100 reviews to find the best highlighters because you hate highlighters and are hoping to find the right ones to make your life easier. Before these highlighters I abhorred highlighting because most popular, well-marketed highlighter brands in the US bleed through pages, only highlight half of your text (making your eyes have to focus a lot more than you want) or over highlight one and a half rows of text, run out or dry out quickly, have spotty markings (cheaply made, but cost a lot), and many other disadvantages. I always just fell back on using pens as they were easier, faster, and just better- until I started using Stabilo. I would never leave such a good review for something so extremely dear to me (my research tools) if it was not worth my resources as I am extremely picky when it comes to office supplies, but here are the pros and cons of these highlighters:PROS:Rarely bleeds through pages (if you are highlighting on super cheap- thin paper, then yeah every highlighter, unless it has very little ink is going to bleed through);Highlights one row (evenly and almost perfectly) for standard text book font;Takes a long time to run out. My fiance actually had these highlighters for over 2-3 years now (survived several moves between different countries and continents), and they are still working. I only bought an extra set because I wanted some to take with me to class;The size and shape are remarkably comfortably to write with (I’m a predominant lefty, but being ambidextrous I do not think the comfort level changes with the hand you use);So many colors to use when color coding text. I use this for law school, and it works amazing! andHas a plastic box you can keep them in so they do not scatter.CONS:The size and shape of the highlighters make it not very functional for a pencil pouch or pen bag, well, not for storage in a cup either as they take a lot of room; This is easily manageable by keeping them in the plastic box they come in (refer back to PROS).WARNINGS:Do not double highlight using the darker colors (blue, purple, or dark green) because it will make your text harder to see.WISHES:I wish they had one more blue, maybe a lighter blue color?I hope this review helped you, but let me know if you have any questions. Also, the only other marker that I think comes close to Stabilo is Staedtler. I am not pushing either brand for money or free merchandise. This is a genuine review from someone who found life easier with this product! ��
