Did You Say Zebra Pens?

Yes, I am reviewing Zebra Pens today from Zebra Pen and Shoplet.com.

I am going to tell you somethings today that I do not normally get into when reviewing a product. Zebra Pen Corporation was founded in 1982. It is a leader in manufacturing and selling writing instruments. They care about their customers and are committed to listening to what the customer wants and needs. Look at all these awesome pens. Each one is for a different writing experience.

New in 2012, Zebra Pen has introduced Z-Mulsion. That is a writing instrument with Emulsion ink! Emulsion ink is a blend of oil, water and pigment that makes a very smooth writing experience. I received a black and red Z-Mulsion pen to review. Well, I compared the Zebra Z-Mulsion EX Ballpoint Pen to a regular gel pen. I just have to say I love the Z-Mulsion experience. Smooth writing with out dragging. The pen glides smoothly over my page with out skipping or scratching.

 

For the young at heart Zebra pens have ball point Animals and Daisies Z-Grip pens. The designs are fun and fashionable for everyone. I have declared to all family members that the Fuchsia Daisies Z-Grip pen is my pen! No touching allowed!

Another Zebra pen that is a favorite of my husbands is the Zebra Sarasa Roller Ball Retractable Gel Pen. He prefers acid free ink for writing documents. The gel in this pen is water-based ink  that is acid-free. The gel delivers a smooth flowing ink that is perfect for document writing.

If you would like to see more Zebra pens such as the Cadoozles mechanical pencils, the Clip-on Pink Ribbon or the Zebra Eco pens made from post-consumer waste stop over to my favorite office supplies store and search Zebra pens. You will be amazed at the large selection of writing instruments.

It's an UGLEE Pen

I have got not one, not two but three Uglee pens. Yes, three very Uglee pens. I am so happy to review this amazing ergonomic pen. The Uglee pen was invented and designed by a real physician. I have used this pen for several days and I can not even find the words to tell you how much this pen makes a difference in my writing. The pen is comfortable to hold. It is amazingly easy to grip and hold on to for extended periods of time. I have tried a few other pens that have the cushion gripers. I usually found them bulky and hard to write with smoothly. The Uglee pen weighs only 11 grams. The grip is contoured to follow the anatomy of the hand.

When I review a product on my blog I like to use a product for several days. Sometimes I use the product for a couple weeks. While using the product being used I like to take notes. I have a pen and pad handy at all times for this purpose. My only problem with note taking is I hold pens too tightly. This causes my hand and fingers to ache when writing for even a few minutes. I am sure for many it would be easier to keep their notes on the computer. But, since I watch Pooh Bear during the day I can not easily jump on the computer to keep my notes. If I wait until later, I will surly forget my thoughts on the product. When I started using the Uglee pen I was amazed that I had a comfortable hold on the pen and did not have to hold the pen so tight. No more pain!!

What do I like most about this product? It is so Uglee I won't have to worry about the little elf's snatching it. Seriously, I like the 11grams of lightness and the cushion contoured grip.

What do I not like about the product? A little elf already snatched one of my new pens. It must not be Uglee enough!
