A roundup of products made especially for left-handed people
If you're left-handed, you've probably switched seats with someone before to avoid awkwardly playing bumper cars with your elbows. As special it is to be part of the population's more creative 10% and share your handedness type with Oprah, having to wash off the ink from your palm after each class is not fun. This is a right-handed world, but it would be nothing without a lefty, so we've found some of the best products for left-handed people that will change your life!
Corner Spiral Notebook
No more having to navigate your left palm around the inconveniently placed spirals! Made for jotting down quick notes and reminders, this right-cornered notebook comes in three sizes and with the choice of lines or grids.
For a slightly cheaper alternative great for taking handwritten notes in class, check out this one subject, college-ruled notebook from Roaring Spring HERE.
The Left-Hander's 2022 Weekly Planner Calendar
People commonly believe that lefties are more artsy than righties, but did you know that they also show better overall results when completing quick or challenging tasks like flying a jet? Not only does this planner have room for all of your assignments, sports games and dates, but it also includes factual tidbits, fun stories and inspirational quotes from fellow left-handers. The leftie representation is real with this one.
"Left Handed, Right Minded" Engraved Pencil Set
It's a truth universally acknowledged that if you lend your pencil to a classmate, you will probably never get it back. These pencils are the perfect solution. Right-handed friends will remember who the pencil really belongs to every time they look down at the "left-handed" phrase. Just in time for back to school, we can't wait to flaunt our left-handed honor with these minimalist pencils.
Sarasa Clip Gel Retractable Pen
Say goodbye to smears and smudges because these pens have a special water-based ink that dries in less than a second on most types of paper. They're available individually or in packs, so you can journal, doodle and study in your fave color.
Maped Visio Left-Handed Pens
If you're more of a ballpoint pen kind of person, you'll love these ones from Maped Visio. With quick-drying ink, a curved design for more comfort and a soft grip, these pens will make completing chem and algebra formulas just a tad more bearable.
Canary ESR-175L Left-Handed Scissors
One common pattern among lefties is using their right hand only for scissors (we envy you, ambidextrous readers!). No longer will you have to designate different tasks to each of your hands with these trimmers, which have been specifically prepared with the blades and handles in the opposite way from right-handed scissors.
Helix Shatter Resistant Left-Handed Ruler
Imagine being asked to draw a 3-inch straight line in math class and actually being able to see the markings without your wrist in the way. This ruler turns those imaginings into a reality, giving us proof that dreams really do come true. You're welcome.
Lefty's Left-Handed 2-Cup Glass Measuring Cup
This one's for all the masterchefs out there. With the measurement markings to the right of the handle, you'll be able to precisely count out how much flour you'll need with the comfort of using your dominant hand. Also, can we talk about how classy the Lefty's store logo is?
Be sure to check out this food portion control scoop for dishing out pristine scoops of mint chocolate chip from Zeroll HERE.
Stickers
Customizing your stuff has to be one of the most satisfying feelings ever. Stickers like these are sure to make you feel an emotional connection with your personalized notebooks, hydroflasks and laptop. They might also prompt cool conversations with other lefties and score you a new bestie!
"I May Be Left Handed But I'm Always Right" Shirt
If you can't tell, we can't get enough of the left/right jokes. This witty tee is bound to attract compliments from anyone with a sense of humor, and we love how versatile it is. It's comfy enough to wear around the house when you're bingeing Parks and Rec, but it can also be the center of a fab fit when tucked into wide-legged jeans or a midi skirt. No matter how you style this shirt, it will remind you that being left-handed is always something you can be really proud of.
