- are mildliners overrated? honest review of zebra mildliners + swatch
hey everyone! i hope everyone is continuing to practice social distancing during this time. first off, i want to thank you guys for the tremendous support on my channel; it brings a huge smile to my face every single day. truly, this channel is one of the greatest things that has happened to me.
in this video, i wanted to address the rising popularity of one of the most famous highlights, the zebra mildliners. i've seen many highlighter comparison videos on youtube, and in almost every video, the zebra mildliners are one of the top winners. it recently struck me as to whether these highlighters were, whether we wanted to admit it or not, at least a little overrated. in this video, i hope to answer that question by comparing them with generic highlighters that are found here in the states, the sharpie brand highlighters.
i hope you found this video useful, and if you made it this far in the description, be sure to comment, like and subscribe. i'll see you guys soon, and take care.

Honestly the only reason the stationery community loves it is because of the huge colour range that no other company offers of course I have seen many fake zebra mildliners at more affordable prices though
the colors are the perfect balance between pastel and not too neon which is why so many people like them
@@studyfluff ikk! Thats why I bought some a few days ago!
I like their nude colors not a lot of reg Highlighters have brown or nude or subtle tones that are earthy or nude and not too neon.
i have a set of 6 knockoff from mr diy that cost less than one mildliner
They work like expected but i have better feeling higher quality highlighters (i don't have any mildliners though so can't compare)
i really love mildliners because they dont run out after a long time and they have cute colors too hehe
yes the colors are so so so pretty
Lyra Frost it just lasts really long. A lot of ink
mine ran out after a couple of months
Really? I use mine a lot but not too much and they run out so quickly
Do they bleed a lot?
Mildliners are pretty costly in India... and I've always wanted to buy them just because others have them... but, after this... I can probably rip! :) thanks!
sripradha iyengar haha i’m glad it helped!
YES! each single highlighter costs more than 100 bucks!! I bought Staedtler pastels and Schneider ones and they both together (total 16 pens) cost less than 2 packs (10) of mildliners!!
Same in Brazil, sis, I feel u
I usually put the Mildliners on the paper, then write over the highlight. No smudging that way!
good idea!
Yes!
This is a great review on mildliner, but keep in mind that it varies on what type of fineliner and gel pen u use cus some tend to dry quicker while others are slower and also when u compared the mildliner to the sharpies’ u prob made one have a longer dry time then the other! For example, I like using the pentel energel gel pen with mildliner bc they dry super quickly so u can highlight it after a few seconds! But great video in general :D (omlg I’m so sorry for the long comment)
FunWithSelina totally agree with you! some pens are just naturally more prone to smear than others and all depends on how much pressure you apply on the highlighters too
Sharpie is not generic. It is a well-known name brand. Very ubiquitous for highlighters and markers, at least here in the states. It's not surprising that they performed well. People love mildliners because of the colors. The pastels look cute in a planner or bujo.
Omg... YOU ARE THE MOST UNDERRATED STATIONERY TH-camR I’VE EVER SEEN LOOOLL😂🥰
Hey it's Zani! thank you so much for your support! that means the world to me
Hey it's Zani! Lol ikr her content is awesome btw I’m a small youtuber too if you wanna support eachother:)
I'm pretty sure it's because of her race ;-; that's why I I'm afraid to go on yt
Yeah i agreee
In poland they are hella expensive, I want them because everyone else has them, and people say that they are amazing in Asia...like they’re just so aesthetic and my mom doesn’t understand haha...and it’s just so upsetting to see the people that have them, that actually can get them/afford them. But I guess not everyone can get the things they want, and that’s alright!! I just keep watching these videos and can’t get over it 😂😂😂
Laura a yeah here in the states they are much cheaper which is more people have them
Yeh I feel the same , in the UK there aren't many shops where you can get them, and they are really expensive online, you mostly have to order from Japan , and on top of the expensive price, paying for the shipping
Coco Caramel I got mine for £26 cheap for 25 I think idk
i’ll send you a link to one on amazon it’s 15$ for 3
15 packs
I have mildliners and LOVE them 🥰🥰🥰
And tip for the smudging: use fine liners and the gel pens. Highlight first, then write on top. No smudge!
The only reason as to why I prefer the mild liners is because the colours aren't as bright and neon (the super neon ones hurt my eyes so i prefer mild liners)
Me stationery lover😅 stationery store is heaven for me 😇
issy wonder actually same tho haha
I swear. Every person i know who has these. Hasn't found out till like a month later that the bottom has a small tip. It looks like it is the pen.
it is a pen!
I think pastel highlighters are way too mainstream now. Literally all stationery brands have their own pastel highlighters: Stabilo, Staedtler, Pilot (Frixion), Kokuyo (mark+ and uni propus), Pentel (Fitline), and others. The market is way too oversaturated now. I wish Zebra mildliners can come up with new colors other than pastel. Maybe, vintage/ retro series to compliment their zebra sarasa vintage, which is widely popular. I'd love to have that in my collection.
OMG YES
Uni propus is made by Uni
yeah you're right
that’s a good idea tbh
But they literally do tho... Even during the time you said this, the pack already had more mild colours like Smoke Blue and Vermillion. Also maybe it's literally just me but most Pastel Colours tend to look similar in colour but mildliners were original for their colours in their prime and are still pumping out new colours ( 36 different colours as of rn )
they are very expensive in turkey.other highlighters are like 6-7 turkish money but mildliners are like 17-18
efetheblogger wow! that’s so expensive!
Lol 17tl is like £2 and here they sell them for about £10 which is about 100tl just check amazon tho x
Hatice x kanka zeka düşük herhalde bizim 17 para birimine bir tane aldığımız kalemi onlar 10 para birimine 5 adet alıyor :D
Ekonomi çok iyi yeğenim (!)
Fr but in Canada it is 24CAD which is expensive if it’s not gonna work how Peko wants it too 👀
I have the 15-pack that they sell pretty much everywhere and the fluorescent pack, and I love them! I'm honestly thinking of getting the colors I don't have yet to complete my collection. Even the fluorescent pack has some really pretty colors in it that you don't typically find with generic highlighters... Honesty, my main reason for buying these was because of the colors. I plan to use these for my bullet journal, so I wanted to have a wide variety of colors that I could use in my bullet journal. The colors can also be amazing for sprucing up your notes! I also have to say, I love the look of the highlighters themselves and I love that they have two different tips. There are a lot of good things to say about Zebra Mildliners.
However, Mildliners ARE a bit pricey, and so are Stabilo's pastel highlighters (at least at my craft store)... The colors DO make them worth it though. I would be terrified to take them to school though if I were still in school, haha... and they'd stay home so I can be sure they don't get lost or stolen.
I got the pastel pack to use for highlighting because I don't like the normal intense fluoro ones - they're called MILD-liners for a reason! Yes they cost a little more but the tips don't go squishy and they are double-ended. Worth the extra IMHO
Do they bleed?
I LOVE your channel sooo much! Your videos are so relaxing and interesting and they have really helped me.
Laura Marquez thank you🥺
I use paper mate gel pens in 0.7, I find they don’t smudge, and are pretty smooth, they are cheap as well. Which is great for me because I’m just getting into Stationary
i also really like the pilot g2 pens!
@@studyfluff oh i have those :D
Your opinion helped me a lot basically I love mildliners but they're costly , but aesthetically pleasing too😊
Ya but I got like a 30 pack at Costco so
Mildliners don't smudge on the generic gel pen ink that I use 🤷♀️ plus I like them for the colours not the quality, as long as the quality's decent which it is the colour range makes them worth it for me
same the pens i use don’t usually smudge, but it just depends on what pen you’re using i think!
Thank you so much for this video! My mildliners are ariving on Saturday!
This is the exact video I was looking for 🙌🏻
I’ve read somewhere that neon coloured (specifically yellow) highlighters tend to help you memorise or keep in mind of the things you wrote or read. Also a law student said she easily remembers things she needs to remember with a yellow highlighter. This is just for studying tho, you can use pastel for arts and crafts cuz they’re so pretty and is not an eyesore tbh
I just got a pack of these for school, I’m so exited to use them!
I think Mildliners are not overrated. That fine tip and the colors, knockoffs aren't the same.
I got my mildliners not even 2 years ago and some of them already run out of ink which is pretty sad. I was so in love with them bc I had one for each school subject to highlight things in texts and summaries and the colors were amazing. Now I am close to my final exams where I really needed specific colours for the subjects I wanna do my finals in but now they don't work anymore. I don't know if it is worth buying new ones bc I will probably write on an iPad as soon as I start with university
Get a differnt brand but same colors
this video is really good! thank you, it's needed
studywme thanks so much for your support!
I used sharpie highlighters throughout my college days... swore by it that no other highlighter would compare for me. I agree that it is less smearing but i usually do my highlight like after a day or two that i wrote notes. So there is literally no smearing because the ink is fully dry as well as the paper
so i also started getting into stationary collection or becoming a stationary addict recently and my top 3 brands would probably be pen+gear, papermate, and mild liners and I really like the mild liners. honestly, these are probably my favorite highlighters ever and even though they are expensive they are my life.
Thank you for making this! And I agree the mildliners have really pretty colours :)
aa thank u sm! yes, they are so pretty and aesthetic
Thanks for your review. I find them to be overrated. Even though the colors of the Mildliners are different than the standard highlighter colors, I find them to be too dull for my taste. I like more vibrant colors. The Sharpie S Note highlighters are a good dupe at a lower price for the Mildliners.
sharpie s note v mild liners? i don’t want it to bleed through. which bleeds less?? which one do you recommend anyone
It depends on the purposes. Mildliners are more on the decorative aspects since the trends of aesthetic planner, bujo and notes.
For practical use and economic choices, I use Staedler textsurfer highlighters. These are about 20% less expensive than the Mildliners in Vietnam. I use gel and fountain pens and Textsurfer highlighters are the only highlighters in my place that work well enough with gel and fountain. pen inks. The classic inkjet safe Staedler don smear even fountain pen inks at all. The new pastel Colors series of the Textsurfer smear gel and fountain pens only a bit. And they don't bleed at all even on low quality paper.
Found the full set of 35 in a case for $37 on Amazon, I had to buy at such a great deal! Also the new S Note Sharpie are quite great, a variety of colors.
Great video! I have the pastel pack and are really enjoying them☺️ They are kind of overrated but love the selection. Thanks for your honest opinion
It’s Me Aaliyah yes they are really nice highlighters but a little overrated🤭
does sharpie markers and highlighters have a very high alcohol smell?
Wahh! This was such an amazing video! haha sharpies are always stocked up and the next best things,,😂
their quality is a little underrated ngl
???uhh, its mild liner
I think I’m going to get the Milkliners instead
Edit: I got the stabilo swing cool pastels instead and they are so adorable and aesthetic
I just got them for Christmas! I’m gonna start using them for school. Love them:!
am i the only one that writes on top of highlighters?
No I do it as well bc my pen smudges
lol i am SUPER late on this comment but writing on top of highlighters isnt a bad idea but its just someone you dont make the highlight long enough to fit your entire word/phrase inside of. both ways are fine i just wanted to share my insight. ^^ have a nice day
*sometimes instead of someone sorry lol 🤦♀️
Are there different sizes of mild liners when I got them I thought they were SMALL SMALL
really? hmm.. interesting
I never heard of them and I bought a really small pack of them to test them out and I LOVE them
YES!!
in my country milliner are very expensive but i still bought them to test out
When I use the the sharpie highlighter I get a lot of smudge but with mid liners I dont
You had not shown, how these mildliners bleed through the papers? Please do that also, i use faber castell, schneider and stabilo
Do mildliners bleed through the paper?
I hope you do more comparisons with your other supplies
in India , these mildliners are so expensive but I saved up for like 1 - 2 months for back to school ( bcuz my parents said no ) and I got them… but they were sooo good
At belgium mildliners for 5 pack cost 13 euro's with dubbel sided
that’s sooo pricy
does it bleed ?? please tell
i personally love mildliners ive asked for them as a present a more :) ive made notes color-coded and my teachers love my notes!
Great review 👍
I need highlithers that dry fast on those kinds of plastic-like papers used on modern student books.
pro tip: first but the highliter line and then with a fineliner wtire ontop of it
Do they dry out quickly?
if you leave the cap open for 5+ hours they do
I really like that but my mom never buy me a highlighter😕
I have over 50 midliners but.i use the luxur highliters as they are more cheap
50 😳😳 that’s a lottt
@@studyfluff dude I got them as gift
I have been collected them for years
Glad u replied
padma Bhat oh okk makes sense haha
I got 5 at walmart and they were like 6 dollars. A pack of 18 was 17
in my opinion, they are great. i somehow only use the fine line though.
**Me over here not even getting miledliner highlighters for highlighting-**
They my favorites
damn , a pack of four pastels cost 36.72 aed here , that much for 4 colors...
I got mine from barns n nobles and they were 20 freaking bucks
what 😳😳
Do they bleed a lot?
not much bleeding, but more ghosting i would say
@@studyfluff thanku so mch fr d info....❤️❤️
I've never related to another person more-
u and me both
Lol I just bought them and went to TH-cam to look at it... To me its not expensive cuz I live in Malaysia. I bought them for RM 27... In my random calculation its prob 4 or 5 dollars for other countries.... I just found it and was like... "I saw this before" Lol byee
And I though Sharpie highlighters were bad! I won't but Zebra then. They seem worse. A lot of brands that sell highlighters in many different colors have problems with bleeding through paper and getting that grainy effect that I don't like.
I have highlighters in every colour from pastel to unusual colours like brown and grey and even glitter and metallic ones. The only thing I don't have? A single mildliner. It's about the aesthetics and wanting what everyone has rather than anything else, imo.
They smears with my micron pen ... 😪
remember me when ur famous
Wide Putin of course i gotchu
You have an amazing profile name!
what!! you got your mildliners for $1.50?? I got mine for $3.50 in canada!!
Are these still gd for 2020
yep
Thx! I’m ordering them now!
Zebra Mildliners are the only highlighters I'll use.
Someone please send this to my home it costs too much in India 😭😭
5:19 that’s because of the paper you used and the paper quality, not the highlighter itself
I know this review is old… but you didn’t even mention that Sharpie is alcohol-based, Mildliner is water based… hence the smear test results was skewed… gel pen doesn’t like water….
Lucky, I can’t find Mild liners anywhere.
try AliExpress, hella long shipping time but you won't find them cheaper anywhere else
@@enec0 I actually was gifted some for Christmas. Thanks for suggestion.
Lol we don’t press the highlighters that much “stationary lover”
I’m sure they are
When did sharpie become generic lmao
Hi this is from Stationery Addict ---> Stationery Addict I reccomend the youtube channel JetPens.
Laughable pens wow I’m so glad I watched this before getting it
Got them all… lol
Sharpie brand is not "generic".
Yes it is sharpie was one of the first ever highlighter brands most people who have had highlighters have used sharpie. Everyone knows what a sharpie is it is extremely GENERIC
NO it is not overrated
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I wish I could afford mildliners
Y do yall Americans say zEEbRa it’s zebra and it’s not mOldLiNers it’s Mildliners like it’s not that hard
