If you’re someone who likes to write – whether it’s in a journal or just taking notes, you know that sometimes if you’ve been writing a lot, your hand can feel cramped and the writing gets more and more uncomfortable. There are lots of “ergonomic” pens on the market, but not all of them are designed by a physician specifically to help create a easier, more comfortable pen.
About UGLee Pen
The Review
There are a few things that make the UGLee Pen unique and a very comfortable, ergonomic writing tool. First, the grip actually grips you, instead of you having to grip the grip. Other pens with rubbery grips seem to be smooth pieces of soft plastic with ridges. With the UGLee Pen, the grip is made of a ballistics grade nylon which actually grips your fingers without being sticky. I held two “grip” pends in my hand – the first easily slid between the fingers while the UGLee Pen gripped firmly.
The other difference with the UGLee pen is the ink. While there are a lot of different inks on the market, from gel to rollerball to fountain, What I noticed was that with the UGLee pen, it felt like I was writing on the softer surface. I compared the writing of an UGLee pen to another ball point pen and one gel pen. In both cases I could feel the hard surface of the desk. With the UGLee pen, the ink was smooth and it felt like I was writing on a softer surface – almost like when you have a couple of sheets of paper underneath. The ink used is actually a cross between gel and ballpoint, helping to create a smooth writing experience.
If you are looking for a comfortable, ergonomic pen, you can purchase UGLee pens from UGLeePen.com. There are seven different pen barrel colors (red, pink, white, yellow, green, blue, gray). A 3-Pack of these comfortable pens is currently on sale for just $19.99. You can also purchase a single pen online for just $4.50 from Amazon.com. Refills for the the UGLee Pen are also available, making these an affordable writing tool option.
