PENAGAIN UNIQUE WRITING PENS/PENCILS REVIEW & GIVEAWAY (5 WINNERS)


When you first use PenAgain's pens or pencils you'll immediately notice how different it feels from other pens. Normal pens are not designed around the human hand and can cause discomfort in the fingers, develop sore muscles in the hand, and pinch nerves in the wrist.

The Twist 'n Write PenAgain pencil is specifically designed to fit smaller hands and bring back the fun in writing. With a thick 2 mm pencil lead provides for long lasting write-out and never needs sharpening. Simply twist the tip to expose more lead.

My Review:
My 5 year old loves the Twist 'n Write pencil! He always complains that his hands hurt during homeschooling. He likes how comfortable the pencil feels on his little hands. Plus he loves that the pencil twists open and closes!

The Twist 'n Write comes in a 2 pack and in a 4 pack. The 2 pack sells for $2.50 and the 4 pack sells for 4.99.

__________________

The PenAgain Ergosleek Made from polished aluminum with a metal under-body to provide the perfect weight. The hand-painted body comes in four stylish high gloss colors. There is a subtle twist mechanism to open and close the cap and a laser engraved clip. Includes 2 refills and case.

The PenAgain Ergosleek can be purchased for approximately $22.99.
_______________________

The PenAgain Ergo Sof is finished with a soft rubber coating that adds extra comfort and style.
Along with new enhancements like a pocket clip, retractable cap, easier refilling and more streamlined ergonomics.


Features:
Proprietary Ergo-Sof rubber coating feels like soft silk
Tension-free writing with "No Grip" design
Works for "Righties" and "Lefties"
Retractable and refillable

My Review:
I love the comfortability of the PenAgain pens. Normally when I write alot it's for thank you cards, birthday invitations, etc. I typically get a callous on my middle finger but the soft grip and design of the PenAgain solves the problem of callous'! It's a unique design that is great for all ages whether it be the PenAgain pens or pencils!

The PenAgain Ergo-Sof can be purchased for $4.99

  18. I follow your blog, and I think these would be great. I have Rheumatoid Arthritis, and I think these could make writing easier when my hands are bothering me. I homeschool, too, and my 4 year old is having trouble learning how to hold a pencil. I would love to try these with him.
