Pilot Frixion Pen

Write, erase, and rewrite with confidence using the Pilot FriXion, a gel pen with thermosensitive ink that vanishes with friction.

• Genuine Pilot FriXion erasable gel pen
• Thermosensitive ink that turns clear when heated by the friction of the built-in eraser
• Smooth gel ink flow for comfortable, consistent writing
• Lets you correct mistakes without scratching out or using correction fluid
• Handy for students, planners, journaling, and everyday notes
• Not recommended for documents that must be kept in very cold conditions, since the erased ink can reappear if chilled well below freezing

The FriXion's ink is the clever part, it is thermosensitive, so rubbing the built-in eraser tip over a line generates just enough friction and heat to make the ink turn transparent, without tearing or roughing up the page the way a pencil eraser can. That makes it especially handy for planners, to-do lists, journaling, and any notes you expect to update or correct along the way.

Because the erasing effect relies on heat, it is worth knowing that FriXion ink is not meant for anything that needs to be permanent or stored somewhere very cold, where the erased marks could theoretically reappear. For everyday writing and note taking, though, it is a genuinely useful way to write without fear of a mistake. It suits students working through drafts, anyone who plans in a diary or planner and needs to adjust dates and details, and crafters who use it for fabric marking, since the line can be pressed away with heat once it has done its job.
