Customers are mixed about the grip. Some mention that they like the grip it gives, and it's wonderful to use with smaller pencils or crayons.

Customers are mixed about the size of the teaching equipment. Some mention that it's nice but large for a student's hand, helps hold writing utensils, and is much larger than the average grip aid.

I thought they'd be made of a tougher material, but the dense foam makes for an attractive, easy to grip texture. It's been great for our adult daughter who is dealing with a degenerative nervous system disease and has lost more fine motor skills recently. Additionally, we were able to cut a slice in one side and use them to help put a grip able surface on the syringes our daughter uses for round the clock medication. With the recent loss of more of her fine motor skills, she hasn't been able to dispense medication through her central line as she could before. These grips have given her a piece of independence!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great for writing with an arm cast!

My son is 6 and broke his right arm. He is right handed so I wanted something that would help him grip his pencil for school. He tried writing left handed but that did not work lol. These worked great! The hole is not very big so I’m not sure a thick pen would fit but a pencil fit great and was snug.

5.0 out of 5 stars support for fist grippers
Reviewed in the United States on November 11, 2015
Verified Purchase
In my opinion there is not a perfect grip for every child, but I do like these for some of my students. I work with preschoolers with special needs and for those in the fist grip stage these work great. My other favorites are the crossover and claw grips. I was a little concerned these might be to large based on some other reviews, but they are not. The children's fingers do not curl all the way around, but they do not have an issue holding it. For the children who fist grip this helps them get the beginnings of finger positioning and angling. Without it they wrap their hand/fingers around with the thumb over the fingers, tend to squeeze hard, and hold the writing implement (pencil, crayon) straight up and down. With it the grip relaxes, the fingers and thumb are in a better grip like position and they tend to angle it naturally. If you are just trying to improve finger positioning the claw might work better.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good grip! Hard to attach.
Reviewed in the United States on February 4, 2019

These are something that I've been trying to find for over a year. I have chronic tennis elbow, and I need to have thicker pens to write with. So I've hunted for anything to add to pens I already have in order to make them more comfortable. These are the closest I've gotten to actually finding something useful. There are 2 things preventing this from being perfect. First, the center is so narrow that it's difficult to actually get around any pen that isn't super slim. The second issue I had, was that one of mine (the green one) had some weird company info stamped on it.

These would be great with just a slightly larger center space, and if they came in less child-like colors, so it would be better to look more professional, that would be great.

These would be great if the hole was bigger. It's really hard to get it around a pen and some pencils as well as my paintbrushes I had hoped to use them on. What they are great for is massage! If you roll them under your hand up and down along your arm or hands it is great for spasms. I have arthritis, neuropathy, ridgidity and spasticity. They gave me good control and a different grip. I'm still trying to figure out the best way to hold it and where on the pencil to place it that feels best for me. It's also good for stress and strengthening exercises. Of course my dogs had another idea in mind ;) I would give a higher rating if they had bigger holes or were more flexible to stretch. They are on the firmer side in case you were wondering. They are very soft in texture but pretty solid in density.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Product! For Normal Writers, Art Students, Artists, & for Hand Injury Patients!

My hand was severely injured in incident. After 2 surgeries trying to correct my writing hand, I was having real issues using it. Studying as a college student was hard at times and it would hurt. I ordered various products to put on my pens, pencils, and art products which were different but then I ordered a set of these to try out. Wow. These, I must say work really good and help me. They allow me to hold my art supplies, pens, and pencils with much more ease and alleviate mucho problemas that I have had. I don't have to try to squeeze my hand around bitty space now now that my fingers are really hurt bad. These are winners and are great! They are worth the money too! Great physical therapy items and great for everyday use, especially if you write a lot, take many notes, do a lot of art, and draw or color! If you have hand cramping and other issues you may want to try a set of these out and see if they work. Trustworthy sellers, fast shipping, nice packaging, and overall a great product.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great post hand-surgery.
Reviewed in the United States on June 20, 2016
Verified Purchase
I've had multiple hand/wrist surgeries for trigger finger & Keinbock's Disease. Holding a pencil or pen to write is one of the most painful things left that I still do and haven't found a workaround for. These dont' take away the pain, but they're much more comfortable. They've taken my comfortable writing time from 2 minutes to 15 minutes, which is pretty significant I think. My handwriting isn't as neat with them as without, but still it's a great trade. I'll be ordering more - wish there were more colors so I could get blue to match my work logo colors. Also wish they made some with larger openings so I could some nicer pens.

5.0 out of 5 stars Super thick foam writing pads
Reviewed in the United States on September 24, 2020

These are much thicker than those cheap little ergonomic gel pads you see elsewhere. I don't really find those to add any confirmation at all, but these gigantic foam eggs are amazingly comfortable. Only negative is that, unlike the gel pads, these don't expand much to fit other larger pens and pencils. The gel ones I can stretch around just about anything. These are a foam pad, very little give or stretch to them really. But still, a much better product!

4.0 out of 5 stars Learning to write again
Reviewed in the United States on October 29, 2015

I have a tendancy to push down hard with my fingers when I write so fatigue in my fingers from writing happens kind of quickly. I don't know why it's a thing I do, but it's a difficult habit to break. These are hard egg shaped sponges and I've noticed that, they take all the pressure off your fingers so I kind of end up compensating with my arms, to move my wrist. It's just the wierdest thing. My arm will end up getting fatigued, but because its my arm, it takes longer than if it were my fingers. I am getting used to it and it's easier once your hand gets used to the new motions. It works though and it's helped save my fingers some pain.
