Post-it 100% Recycled Paper Super Sticky Notes, 2X The Sticking Power, 3x3 in, 5 Pads, 70 Sheets/Pad, Wanderlust Pastels Collection (654R-5SSNRP)

Lifesaver for my ADHD. I use these for jotting down random to-do items, ideas, appointment reminders, grocery list items, even sometimes movie or show or song names to look up later. Having one handy on my desk and having a physical note to refer to immensely improves my quality of life and productivity.These are more or less the same as non-recycled Post-its, with a couple of divergences. They stick just as well as the non-recycled Post-its and are easy to remove if needed. As for curl, these curl similarly: I've generally found Post-its usually have a tendency to curl at least slightly. The curl factor is affected here by the thickness. I believe the thinner paper makes it curl more than usual, but they are still very usable. The thickness is otherwise great! These are fairly translucent against light, but frankly they don't need to be very thick for my purposes. They are thinner than non-recycled ones from what I can tell. I typically use them on my monitor bezel or on documents, and they are perfectly readable as such even with the backlight from my desk.I also currently have two personal notes from a month ago that are still hanging on just fine, but IME Post-its aren't the most secure and will usually need tape reinforcement for very long-term (on the scale of months) use on something that's being handled regularly. That is also very normal and fine to me.So as far as usage goes, they are essentially 1:1 with the non-recycled Post-its IMHO.My single gripe and potential dealbreaker with these is that they look "dirty" compared to the non-recycled ones. There are visible flecks and spots, which vary from sheet to sheet but typically look like ink droplets or bits of hair or dust or something at a glance. My first thought was there WAS dirt/ink/hair on it that I couldn't get off for whatever reason, until I looked closely at the Post-it and realized it was "baked" into the paper itself. This isn't an issue for me as nobody but me really sees them and it really isn't noticeable until you look closely, but might be a concern if using these for more professional purposes. I'm not sure if the other colors have this issue or if it's just the yellow notes.I've had issues with off-brand, cheaper sticky notes which I will list off, because the lack of these here significantly improves their usability/performance. 1) residue from sticky part of one sheet transferring to the sheet below it. This drives me crazy and is thankfully not an issue with Post-its, including these ones. 2) bleed-through or feathering of ink to the sheet below. Not an issue here either! 3) terrible stickiness levels — either too sticky or not sticky enough. Also not an issue here, as these are pretty "mid". Definitely could be stickier, but sticky enough to slap onto a monitor or document and expect it to be there at the end of the day (barring any major jostling/movement).Overall, being made from recycled paper doesn't seem to have negatively impacted their functionality which is a major win as I rely on them so much! For my use case and needs, these are perfect AND environmentally friendly. Put bluntly, I feel better about my usage of them knowing they are made from a more eco-friendly source as I use them so heavily. I would knock a star off if I needed them to be perfectly pure yellow paper but I simply don't. 10/10 for me.PROS+ recycled paper! more environmentally friendly :)+ basically the same as normal Post-its IME. so all the same benefits and issues you know and love+ comes in a multi pack which is very convenient!CONS- dirty, flecked paper (probably from the recycling process)- has the same issues as normal Post-its (could be stickier and curl less)

I purchased Post-It brand because some other knock off brands leave a sticky residue when pulling up the note. This one does not. You can easily slap it down and pull it back up with zero problems. Just the right amount of glue to hold the Post-It.

these r great 4 taking down memos & reminders in college. i’m an ADHDer & these r an essential tool 4 me. the adhesive is the same as normal post-its. they stick nicely onto the inside of my college binder. these r an eco-concious choice that make organization cute!!

Why did you pick this product vs others?:Colors are dim compared to original product. But adhesive is fine and clean easy.

Amazing color selection and great for my high school senior! These got her excited to study

Post It notes are always the best! No curling, they enough adhesive. I don’t have to worry about losing my notes

These are very nice and functional, but the color is not true on the box or in the advertisement photograph. The box shows pastel notes, but as you can see through the cutout in the box, they are brighter than what the box implies. I took a picture so you could see the true colors compared to those advertised. I also had trouble with them curling upward.
