It is approximately 80 pages long.
The first two I added fell off my white board because they didn't work well with it. Next time, I'm going to order Post-It brand.
I'd have to say that these sticky notes stick pretty well after using them. On one side, the edges curl a little, but they stay put.
I've discovered that they don't always come off easily, and that if they get wet, the dye from the paper comes off with them. Because the post got wet by accident, the color got all over my kitchen counter, and I had a difficult time getting it out.

By accident, I bought these (supposed) "sticky notes. " I assumed I was ordering 3M Post-it notes because of the placement on the Amazon page. When I used some of these as reminder notes on my wood panel refrigerator door, as I usually do, and they all fell to the floor, I realized they weren't real Post-it notes. To put it another way, these sticky notes don't stick to vertical surfaces. I made a mistake by not paying attention to what I was reading. So I threw them out and ordered some 3M Post-its, which are actually sticky notes.
Pro: Cons: Adhesive is good, paper stock is thinner than name brand (but not too thin), and the size and color are the same as name brand. br> Curling. br>br>When pulled from the bottom, the curling is quite severe, to the point where I had to return these. This could be due to the thinner paper stock compared to name brand notes, but it simply rendered each note useless after one day. br>br>These will work if you use them for quick daily tasks and throw them away afterward. I found the curling to be too much for me when using them as reminders or long-term notes (weeks to months). br>br>It was possible to get them to lay flat, but it took some effort to remove them from the pad, pulling slowly from the side to ensure the adhesive area did not "roll" (as seen in the photo with 3 pink notes, middle note with side pull, and top and bottom with average user pull from the bottom).
I'm blown away that these received such positive feedback! They do not adhere to the surface. The main portion of the note sticks straight up, then curls and pops off. Of. Every. Surface! My attempt to avoid going to the store to get some has resulted in me having to return them and return to the store. Super!.
These came in a box that was completely flat. The first thing I noticed when I opened the package was how dim the lights were. 3/8 could be considered bright, but I paid for a package that promised bright colors. Second, every single pad has a demarcation line, some of which are more visible than others, as shown in the photo. Third, they curl so badly that nothing will stick to them. Finally, straight out of the package, these pads are bubbled and warped. I'm sure I'll return or trash these.
These sticky notes stick to paper in a sloppy manner, and they barely stick to other surfaces. When it comes to to-do lists, I like to use sticky notes. Make a to-do list and tape it to the wooden closet door. Post-It brand notes will last for months (I have a few on my door that have been there for years). This brand lasted about 30 minutes before everyone was thrown to the ground. br>br>Even when they're stuck to paper, they don't last more than a day. br>br>Which is unfortunate because the paper quality is quite good. br>br>Other non-alcoholic beverages have been used by me. I've tried a few different Post-It brands and they've all worked out well, so I figured these would as well. But no. br>br>Good enough to use as a bookmark or to jot down a note to oneself that one knows will be resolved quickly, so I'll still use the large quantity I purchased. However, they will not be used in the high-profile applications for which I will continue to use actual Post-Its.
These, on the other hand, are a long way off. The colors on these sticky notes are vibrant and bright, but after that, things start to go downhill. To begin with, the stickiness of these sticky notes is terrible. They won't even stick to a dry, clean plastic or metal surface! Second- This also has something to do with adhesion- The pads themselves fall apart; you might start with 8 pads, but after a few days, you'll have 16 pads and a bunch of loose sticky notes because those 8 pads fell apart; after a few more days, you'll have 32 pads and a bunch of loose sticky notes because those 16 pads fell apart. If the adhesion on these sticky notes pads could be improved, I'd gladly recommend them. But, for the time being, I can only recommend these sticky note pads if you only use one pad at a time and don't mind spending less than $6. They cost me $99, which I paid.
When you post something, the corners curl up! These multi-use items were purchased by me. I wanted to use colored sticky notes on my personal Scrum board because I liked the idea of using a different color for each task category, and this seemed to work. br>br>However, the adhesive on these isn't nearly as good as what 3M uses on their Post-Its, which stick and stick and stick and stick and stick and stick and stick and stick and stick and stick and stick and stick and stick and stick and stick and stick and stick and stick and stick and stick and stick and stick and stick and stick and stick and stick and stick and stick and stick and stick and stick and stick and stick and stick and stick and stick and stick and stick and stick without THOSE THINGS GET THAT PART WRONG. br>br>THESE THINGS GET THAT PART WRONG. When pulling a note from the stack, the adhesive is TOO strong, resulting in a permanent curl in the corners. However, it is NOT STRONG ENOUGH to keep the corners from curling back up when stuck to a surface. See the photo to see what I'm talking about; no matter what I do, they keep curling up. The three yellow notes on the right, for comparison, are genuine 3M Post-Its that aren't curling up. br>br>Adhesion drops precipitously after only a few sticks for similar reasons, and it must be re-established. sticks. When paired with the curly-haired woman, it's a winning combination. Because the notes have cornered tops (which reduce the contact surface area), they begin to fall from the wall much sooner than their competitors. br>br>Overall, these items are still usable, but I'm irritated that my rainbow-colored glasses are no longer usable. The attractiveness of the colored Scrum board is tainted by the unattractiveness of the ugly-looking corner- I'm not going to buy these again because they're curling.
