The Best Ergonomic Pen

Ergonomic design has become a buzz-term for the 21st century. It’s all about designing products that are more comfortable to use, and ergonomic pens make writing feel more comfortable. In this blog I will look at ergonomic pens, and particularly at the revolutionary Yoropen. For more information on ergonomic design, look at the Ergonomics Society website at http://www.ergonomics.org.uk.

Everyone at some time has felt the agony of writing strain whether it be during an exam, taking notes in a lecture or writing a long essay. The pen industry has responded with soft touch rubber grip pens that are more comfortable to hold, but this doesn’t completely solve the problem. That is until the recent invention of the Yoropen, which completely reinvents the design of the pen. By adding a bend at the grip, the user is given a finger support. This stops your fingers slipping and hence reduces writing strain. Also the angle at which you write is different which means you need less pressure to write.

I have fallen in love with the Yoropen because it really makes writing a more enjoyable and pain free experience, as well as looking very funky. I can imagine it would be great for children and students taking exams. Many writing experts have endorsed the pen, including Dr Rosemary Sassoon (http://www.myfonts.com/person/Sassoon/Rosemary) who suggests those with writing difficulties such as dyslexia and dyspraxia will benefit। It is available as a plastic disposable pen £3.00, a superior version £10 or an executive version £30. They are all available from an online pen specialist called Pen Heaven at http://www.penheaven.co.uk. I really hope you enjoy the Yoropen as much as I do.

A Passion for Pens

I have always appreciated the handwritten note. It is so much more personal than a typed message that is such a feature of the modern world. It is the individuality that I like, each mark of the pen showing personality and a human touch. It is an art form that I believe is making a resurgence, a rebellion against the coldness of typed letters, e-mail and text.

A good pen can make the art of writing an absolute joy, and I am passionate about pens. When you hold a perfectly balanced pen, a beautiful pen, a uniquely designed pen, it creates a desire to write wonderful words. Not only does the pen have a function, but it is also a lifestyle accessory. There is such a vast array of pens that there is something to suit all tastes. There is everything from glamorous show off pens to pioneering ergonomic pens to help with writing difficulties. In my blog I will look at all things to do with pens and writing, from product reviews to tips on reducing writing strain.
