Advantages: quick drying, doesn't dry up, long-lasting

Disadvantages: harder to use if you don't want to cover a straight line

I was sorting through my stationery draw yesterday (yes I have a stationery draw :P it's filled with random post it notes and all sorts!) when I came across this Pritt Mouse lying around.
I bought it from either Tesco or Rymans and it didn't cost much.. I think it was only £2.

I normally buy Tipp-Ex correction fluid that comes in the little bottles or other correction fluids.
However I decided to go for this as I found a few old correction fluids lying around the house and they all dried up.. so I thought this wouldn't have that problem and I could leave it lying around for when needed.

I don't think this Pritt Mouse is a very popular product sold as I think Tipp-Ex is the leading brand in these kind of products and people generally tend to automatically look for them (myself included).

But after using this quite a bit I really can't see the difference between this and the tipp-ex brand of correction tape that is also similar. I think you can probably find these are cheaper then the tipp-ex correction tape as well.

In order to use the correction tape you basically press down to where you want to start the correction tape and move it along the page and lifting it up where you want it to stop as it cuts off the tape. You are able to instantly write on it unlike the correction fluids where you have to stop and wait for it to dry. Holding this in your hand is also easy and makes gliding it across the page easy.

The correction tape is not completly wide enough to cover the lines in an A4 lined paper pad, so if your writing is big you may need to use the tape twice over it, however if your writing is smaller and fits within the lines of the pad then you can use this in one go.

Although I can see how using this correction tape can be quicker to use for mistakes, I tend not to use it that much as I find theres more accuracy with correction fluid if you want to only cover one word or if its something that is not in a line. As the correction tape can only move in horizontal or vertical lines, with the correction fluid you can use the brush wherever needed.

I still give the product 5 stars as quality-wise it works fine, it's as good as other brands and it's cheaper.
I would still purchase the correction fluid though and personally using the tape alone wouldn't be enough to replace using the liquid form.. but it's a good addition to my stationery pile that has come in useful!

Thanks for reading :)
