Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial.
Despite having a bevy of gadgets available to me, I am pen and paper gal at heart. There is nothing like a new notebook just awaiting for the flow of ink as I scratch my thoughts and words. During my work day I type of my fair share of e-mail and documents but I always find myself grabbing for pen and paper to jot notes. When I was asked to review the ergonomic pen known as The UGlee pen I was just excited to get a new pen. My excitement has grown because I love this pen and the way it writes.
I was sent three pens to review but can only speak to the one I was able to rescue from the grabbing hands of my teen who dramatically declared that she needed a comfortable pen for “the mountain of school work she has.” Without exaggeration, we both LOVE these pens. The UGLee pens are comfortable to write with, shows on the page boldly without smearing ink and, no matter how hard I grip, I don’t find my hands feeling cramping.
The UGLee Pen is good for everyone who writes (even just a grocery list), and is especially helpful to people who experience pain and discomfort when writing, for example those with arthritis, carpal tunnel syndrome, etc., and for all children who are learning to write and are developing fine motor skills. It is also helpful for special-needs children who find holding a pen or pencil properly difficult. And for high-school and college students who have to take copious notes, this pen helps keep hands and fingers from cramping.
This pen allowed for extended writing sessions in comfort. It is lightweight, weighing less than half an ounce. The light weight gave me pause; I thought the pen was going to fly out of my hand and I found that I gripped it more. As I got comfortable with the grip I realized that my writing could have the same flow with a lighter touch.
The pen is refillable so there is no need to discard when done. You can refill with cartridges found on the site and continue writing in comfort. There are three color choices, red, black and blue.
But; you don’t have to take my word for it! I am giving away a set of three pens! See below for details!

I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.
I learned that apparently there IS an ink that writes more smoothly than gel ink. News to me! Excited to try this pen out. I know I will write more with it.

The pen material grips you so you don't have to grip the pen. Very interesting

Should say that I followed your blog
who doesn’t love this? I love stationary supplies! THey make me happy! The Uglee pens write super smoothe
I did it all- liked, followed, subscribed 🙂
I have a hard time writing because I usually press hard when I write. So after a bit it bothers me. I like how Dr. Lee explained the pain threshold being low in comparison to other pens. He’s write it should not hurt you to write. I have to check this pen out. I need it in my life!
I learned that the pen grips to you allowing for easier writing so your hand won’t cramp from long hours of writing. Perfect for me as I hand make all the cards I send out!
I learned that ergonomic pens exist:)
