Special SuppliesEgg 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 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.

Students enjoy these grips. Students that don't have fine motor issues and students with fine motor issues enjoy these.

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 have only had these grips for a week, so this review is based on maybe 20 hours of use so far. I have put these on my pens and pencils for drawing and can see myself putting them on brushes too. If you're an artist and paint digitally though, I would highly recommend these. I have 2 on my wacom pen for digital drawing/painting. I started off with just 1 but the back needed to rest in my hand at a better angle. So I now have one on both ends of my digital pen now. I did have to bring out the drill and make the hole bigger. Just be careful not to drill into your hand lol.I would say making the hole bigger, having a longer one with maybe 1/5th the width taken off would make this thing perfect for digital artists. I have carpal tunnel so using a pen for more than an hour really starts to hurt, but with these on I found myself drawing for 3 hours with no pain. I think for writing it would be about the same. Give them a try, they're only like $1 each.

I have problems with my hands. They go numb within a minute of writing or coloring. With these holders my numbness has almost stopped. Just a little after several minutes of coloring.

I bought these foam eggs specifically to use on my crochet hooks. Because of arthritis pain in my hands, I needed to find something that would increase the diameter of my hooks. I wasn't sure about these grips because I thought that they might be a bit too large, but it turns out that these are exactly what I needed. These eggs work great for me. They're foam, so they're comfortable to use.These foam eggs fit perfectly on size I (5.5 mm), J (6 mm), and K (6.5 mm) crochet hooks. The holes are just a bit too big for an H (5 mm) hook. When I tried using one with an H hook (or any smaller size hook), the egg slipped around. However, I have found a solution to that slippage problem with smaller hooks. I attach a thin rubber band firmly around the smaller crochet hooks first, and then put a foam egg on top of the rubber band. It works like a charm.These foam eggs are very comfortable for me to use, and they help me to be able to crochet for a longer time without my arthritis flaring up. If you crochet and have arthritis, I hope these foam egg grips will work as well for you as they do for me.

Great universal grips! Because it's foam i was able to put it on things with flat handles like utensils and on round handles like pencils

El material es de muy buena calidad! No solo funciona para lápices normales, se puede usar para lápices digitales como el Apple Pencil.Estos soportes son para lápices delgados así que se debe tener un poco de precaución al comprarlos pero en general todo muy bien.

give good grip

Si lo necesitas para lapices delgados perfectos pero yo lo quería para ceras gordas para trabajar el agarre en personas con distinción en extremidades superiores y no entran en el agujero hasta he roto las ceras forzandolas

These eggs are a life changer! I honestly thought I'd never draw and paint again due to tendinitis, and hypermobility in my fingers. I can now hold all of my drawing tools comfortably and with no strain. Yes, the holes could be wider in order to fit the fattest pens but a drill fixes that problem. Maybe a set with larger holes could be produced? Many reviewers mention this. But no complaints from me!
