I have always held a pen wrong and for one reason or another nobody corrected me when I was younger. This has led to cramps on my hand when I'm writing and a poor handwriting.I bought this pen because I thought it could help with my writing and it really has! Although I still hold a pen wrong whenever I get a chance, muscle memory and that, this pen reminds me where my fingers are meant to be. I believe that with time I will automatically start holding a pen correctly even when using 'normal' pens. My handwriting is still a bit shaky - I am learning to write all over again - but I predict this will get better.

*UPDATE* The problem with writing Amazon Vine review items is that sometimes 30 days isn't long enough to see how good a product is. My son has persevered with this pen, taking into school, where they have been impressed with the improvement he hasmade. Whether this is attributable to the pen, or his hard work (it's something we've been working on) I'm not sure. Perhaps just the simple act of being given a special tool, gave him the confidence to write freely. Anyhow - he's made huge leaps in the 6 weeks or so since he's been using this pen.I think this is a bit of a gimmick really. My son, who doesn't enjoy writing, found this no easier. I've had a go, and I didn't find it as smooth as our usual Berol handwriting pens,

This is really designed with children in mind. My grandson doesn't have a problem writing. However, everyone that knows me will tell you that my normal handwriting, unless I'm concentrating really hard, is like shorthand and it tends to be down to the way I hold the pen, I have a touch of arthritis in my right hand. This pen is designed to make sure that your fingers are in all the write (sorry couldn't resist the pun) right places and you develop muscle memory to keep it that way when you eventually switch back to using a normal pen. There's a cap to put over the pen tip when you're not using it. A plus with this pen is you can get refills, which for me proved useful as the original cartridge stopped writing after a week.

I have seen these pens on the market for some time and I have never gotten around to buying one. This came up for review and I thought I would give it a go. Of course you must make sure it is for the RIGHT or LEFT hand when purchasing.The pan here, seems to be aimed at children, but can be used by adults and myself and another family member gave it a go. The nib cover semi-screws-off, to reveal the roller-ball nib, which isn't a gives a medium line. The thumb and forefinger rest in two specially designed indents. They feel comfortable, and as someone who has problems now holding a pen or pencil because of a connective tissue disorder, this helped my fingers/hands to hold the correct shape,

My daughter who is three and a half has been "writing" for a while but that's mainly been tracing letters and numbers. Now, she is starting to copy her letters and as she was holding her pens and pencils in an extraordinary number of configurations, I thought that this pen might be useful for her.It has helped a lot. Rather than me just explaining where her fingers and thumb should go, she can see and feel because of the grooves in the pen barrel. Her control over the pen is much better and she is gaining in confidence.The pen is not without it's problems. Whenever she uses it her hands seem to get covered in ink. I don't know how but it always seems to happen.

Our daughter has just recently got her pen licence at school, and as this was the recommend pen by her school we though we'd give it a go. Initial impressions are great - because it's contoured it forces her to hold the pen in the correct way, automatically correcting her grip and curbing her tendencies to hold a pen in a slightly odd way (she tended to hold the pen too far up the barrel so she wan't getting proper control of it). My daughter wasn't keen for this exact reason - it felt odd to her because it forces her to hold it in what seem to her to be a slightly odd (but is actually correct) way.There was plenty of initial resistance from our daughter ("it feels weird! I can't hold it properly!

I have a grown up son with Aspergers, mild learning problems and who is almost total ambidextrous, the latter being more of a hindrance than a help in learning how to write legibly. He is mostly right hand dominant but not much and I thought a pen totally geared towards one hand might be useful for him. After a couple of tries I think I was right. He definitely has a much better grip of the pen, which will always help, and he seemed to write more firmly than with a normal pen. What he wrote looked a little better than his writing usually does but there's where the one thing I'm not keen on became obvious. The ink flow is quite broad and I think it would be a lot better were it thinner.

These pens are ideal not only for those children just learning to write, but for older children in the upper primary years who still need some training with holding pens the right way.The pen looks smart and only slightly fatter than a normal one. The two different blues work well together and it has a nifty little lid to protect the nib. The plastic grip near the bottom of the pen is comfortable and has a good indented section that is easy for a child's finger to find. Over time, this should allow their muscle memory to get used to holding a normal pen or pencil in the same way.My 10 year old loves this pen and it's helping her to write better already, despite her insistence to hold normal pens the wrong way.

This little pen is great for children who are beginning to move from scribbles to writing to develop the correct position without causing stress or strain to the hand until the strength grows over time. For this reason it is also an excellent pen for those with any kind of motor issue, arthritis or indeed dyspraxia to help support the bones and joints of the hand from unneeded stress when lacking the hand strength to hold a traditional pen comfortably.There are a choice of colours, but this despite being blue is fine for unisex and any age. It is much easier to hold than s traditional pen and I would definitely offer this to my daughter when she learns to write if she chooses to prioritise her

This encourages you - pretty well forces you - to hold a pen correctly. It works surprisingly well.It is remarkable how holding a pen correctly makes a difference to the speed and quality of your handwriting.Someone who's used to holding a pen in a different way will find it awkward to re-learn it.A good bonus is that it's refillable.This rollerball is much more pleasant to write with than a ballpoint pen, and tends to make your handwriting much better. The difference between writing with this and an ordinary ballpoint pen is remarkable. While you can achieve much of that just by switching from a ballpoint pen to a rollerball,

I thoroughly approve of these easy grip, easy to control, first handwriting pens. We have several young grandchildren now learning to write and draw, so I have seen these pens and pencils being used first hand. The children are encouraged by something designed especially for them, rather than awkwardly using unwieldy kit meant for grown ups.This smart silver and neon green tactile pen folds comfortably into their hands and helps them to guide the line they are making. The roller ball version, 0.5mm nib, makes a good clear line every time. Refills are available. There is a screw on cover for the tip when not in use. Stabilo must have done their research well to produce such a helpful item.

Stabilo have introduced these funny-looking pens to 'train', children to use the correct grip when writing. Because of the shape. it's very difficult to pick up the pen and use it in any way other than the 'approved' method.Teaching good writing habits from the outset will inevitably lead to a good natural holding position when picking up a 'normal' pen. This will reduce instances of writing fatigue - and the associated cramps.I've reviewed the new Stabilo pencils which are aimed at meeting the same objective. My issue with them was the price - which I considered to be too high. The same criticism applies here, though I consider the cost of these pens to be marginally less extreme.

This is an interesting writing instrument – it has been shaped to make it more comfortable to hold.Unfortunately the finger placing are in the wrong place for me – they were obviously designed and moulded by someone with bigger hands. However it doesn’t mean that it is uncomfortable to write with as I found out when I was doing my research and needed a working pen.It is a smooth writer with very little blotching and even though my fingers didn’t go where they were supposed to it was nice to write with.This is definitely a pen that I will be carrying in my bag when I go out to the Uni library again to do some more research.

The way I hold my pen is apparently more like an unusual tight grip. This was a big issue when I was young in the pre digital age. Teachers made desperate attempts to set me straight. To no avail.In an effort to prevent my children from ending up with a similar ‘handicap’ I ordered two of these not so cheap Stabilo EasyOriginal pens.The children use them a lot but not exclusively, which is fine I guess. So the pens to their job.However I must say that when I try to write with them the slightly triangular shape hurts my fingers. Moreover I really like fine tipped ball pens, and these are of the fine-lining type.

I bought 2 of these for our 5yr old, she hates writing and refuses to use a pencil, She prefers pens and felt tips, won't use crayons or coloured pencils. When this arrived she wrote a few lines of a story, and used the pen for drawing, I labelled the second pen and sent it in her book bag to school - sadly school have a no pens policy, they have to use pencils until year three when they earn a pen when their writing is neat enough. Hey ho! The pen is great, daughter loves it, uses it all the time at home and for homework! It clearly is easy to hold and grip and she gets on very well with it.
