Special Supplies Egg Pen-Pencil Grips for Kids and Adults Colorful, Cushioned Holders for Handwriting, Drawing, Coloring - Ergonomic Right or Left-Handed Use - Reusable (12-Pack)

I'm thrilled to share my experience with this egg shapped adaptive foam writing grip; it's been a lifesaver for me. As someone with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS) and tremors, my handwriting has deteriorated significantly over the years. Simple tasks and enjoyable hobbies, like writing, drawing, painting, and crocheting, have become painful and frustrating.Ehlers-Danlos Syndroms (EDS) causes my joints to pop out of joint and hyperextend, leading to pain and fatigue in my hands. The smaller the pen or pencil, the more my fingers hurt. I've tried using fat, ergonomic pens in the past, but many trade writing/ink quality for ergonomics, and they're always more expensive.I found pens shaped like egg-shaped bulbs, which worked great in my hand. However, they were costly and only lasted a few weeks. That's when I discovered these amazing foam adapters, shaped like eggs – just like the pens! They're a game-changer because I can use them on more than just pens; I can use them on various pens, pencils, crayons, paintbrushes, crochet hooks, and even knitting needles.The bulb-shaped design is the most effective I've found. It allows my fingers to grasp the utensil without locking into painful positions or dislocating. This is better than a normal thicker cushioned pen because the bulb allows the hand to rest rather than collapse on itself, maintaining a neutral position.Another benefit is that, since I'm not holding the pen as tightly, my tremors don't activate as much, making it easier to write. The adapters are easy to use – simply slide them onto the writing utensil. One minor drawback is that the hole through the foam may not accommodate very thick pens. However, the foam can flex slightly to accommodate slightly larger utensils.Overall, I highly recommend these adaptive foam writing grips to anyone with hand disabilities or pain. They're a simple yet effective solution that can make a significant difference in daily life.

Great product!Illustrator/comic artist here, and I bought these as a bit of an impulse buy while getting some other office supplies.I almost removed these from my cart, thinking they’d be too soft and sponge-like, and I would lose the precision of using a “bare” pen or pencil. This is thankfully not the case!They’re sufficiently firm for high-precision drawing, drafting and writing. If you’re *very* heavy-handed, perhaps these won’t work for you, and a harder rubber or plastic grip option may be suitable, but I have no complaints!I opted for the 12-pack, and now most of my daily-use pens and mechanical and wood pencils have one of these on them.I would have liked the option to buy them all in a less obtrusive color, but the bright assortment is fun, and the functionality is well worth the aesthetic compromise*NOTE* for best results, place these on your pen or pencil of choice, and leave it there! They’re pretty snug, and you will wrestle with these getting them on and off, potentially damaging your beloved writing implement.Although, these do technically fit on an Apple Pencil 2 you will need to remove the grip completely to charge it, and there are much more suitable ergonomic grips that are designed to be more easily removed.

I'm 35 years old going on 80 and my hands constantly ache due to fibromyalgia and early onset of arthritis. I hadn't noticed how hard it had gotten to write with conventional implements until the Panny-D kicked off and, in an effort to stay sane, I started journaling on paper vs all the typing I always did for work/leisure. I couldn't find a good writing aid to help. Most grips were too small or too awkward for me and the ones were you put your fingers in this weird cage thingy didn't work because I adjust the position I hold my writing utensil too often. Those things drove me nuts. I had settled on wrapping three folded up Kleenexes around my pens so I had enough cushion to write.Finally, after months (almost a year) of searching and many hand cramps later, I was recommended to this product. I was skeptical, thinking it would feel too awkward in my hand and prevent me from holding the pen in my gymnastic ways I like to, but they were pretty cheap and so I gave it a go. The first day I got them I went from hardly being able to write a paragraph to writing for FOUR WHOLE HOURS straight without discomfort until the end (which was just my poor wee hands being tired!) The grip is firm enough to give resistance so that it doesn't squish down to nothing, which would defeat the purpose. It is squidgy enough that it is comfortable for hand gymnastics like mine, allowing for any angle you could conceivably want to use it in. They helped me keep a proper ergonomic hold on the pen so that my wrist wasn't bent all funky too.One con is that the opening of the egg is quite small. I was using an Amazon Basics Colored Pen Fine Point Markers set for my journaling (which I also recommend) and it took a wee bit of wiggling and elbow grease to get the pen in and out. It would not work for larger pens, pens that aren't close to a number 2 pencil size diameter. I suppose if you had a Dremel or a sander you could open the hole wider, at least on a few of them since you get 12 in the package, but for my purposes it worked with some finagling. I'm not a strong lass any longer, so unless you're the strength of a small child, you should be fine.
