The 5 Best Ergonomic Products for the Left-Handed

Posted on 16th Nov 2011 @ 11:39 AM

Everything is harder for our left-handed friends. Their life spans are shorter. Their office equipment is less adapted to their needs. They had to use those dumb, green-handled scissors in grade school. What's an enterprising lefty to do? Grab one of these excellent ergonomic products for the left-handed, of course. To the Leftorium, Flanders!

1. Left-Handed Can Openers

This is something we have never, ever thought about before: standard can openers only really work if you're right-handed. We can't even imagine how hard it must be to open a can of peas if you have to work from the wrong side. It would be like trying to open it with your chin, or a dull pair of scissors. Right at the beginning of our list, we're starting to keenly feel our right-handed privileges. We're so sorry, lefties. We didn't know.

2. Left-Handed School and Office Supplies

These scissors are much cooler than those weird ones from grade school, and the left-handed pen is pretty rad, too. However, our favorite part of this collection is definitely the ruler. It reads: "I may be left-handed, but I'm always right." Yay, puns!

3. Left-Handed Mugs

"Now wait just a minute," we hear you say. "There's no such thing as a left-handed mug." There is if you make a hole in one side so that righties spill things all over themselves. Possibly not totally ergonomic, but definitely hilarious and fun at parties. Also, there's that slogan again. Apparently, it's very popular at <a href="https://www.leftyslefthanded.com">Lefty's</a>, the real-life internet Leftorium we visited for this list.

4. Left-Handed Gardening Tools

Here's one that we imagine could get really dicey, really fast: Gardening tools. If you're a lefty and you're not using left-handed gardening tools, well, soon you might not have a lot of options, vis a vis the whole dominant hand issue.

5. Left-Handed Stuff for Kids

Won't someone think of the children? There are actually a ton of left-handed products out there for kids, but our favorites are the wackier items, such as the left-handed boomerang and the left-handed Teddy Bear. OK, it's just a Teddy Bear in a t-shirt that says "Lefties Rule." Still, self esteem is very important.
