Left handed products

I admit it, I am a southpaw.  Being left handed, the whole world seems to be on the wrong side.  As a child, I rremember that some items like scissors and some sports gears must be ordered from the store.  As time goes by, it is getting easier to get some products more adapted to us.  Of course, there are a few things that I use that are more right handed than left handed.  Think can opener.  I use an electric can poener and it is a bit easier tu use even if I am left handed.  The non electric manual can opener is a pain in the behind for me.  I go very slow and my right hand hurt after so much effort.

From my experience, left hander must be creative.  There is a market for being left handed and for sure, it show a lot of creativity.  I would had found useful to have an hand guard when I learned how to write.  I am sure I had seen one in the past but it does not seems to be available.  I found a left handed store (https://www.leftyslefthanded.com/) and one in Azmazon.ca (https://www.amazon.ca/s/?ie=UTF8&keywords=left+handed+store&tag=googcana-20&index=aps&hvadid=232470673860&hvpos=1t1&hvnetw=g&hvrand=15144966106202280547&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=p&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9000376&hvtargid=kwd-317310773941&ref=pd_sl_5xc22qy070_p)
The problem is even with all the good intention, does all those products works good?  I think it is not the first time I would like to see some test drive on some objects before using them.  Of course, there are some items that look a bit too frivolous.  I think of things like spoons.  It goes a bit too far for me.  I am okay using a normal spoon. it work well for both side of handedness.  There are notesbooks that can be unsed backward as a left handed.  Less useful when it comes to engagement calendar.

I do have found an engagement calandar that work (https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/1449483526/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1)  It is a weekly one.  It will have to fit even if there are a few busy day in the year.  I came to that engagement calendar as a try.  It was a good trial and error.  In this case it was a trial that ended up in a success.  I was lucky for that one.  I can not always rely on my lucky star.  What I find out being an left handed: it is quite a wild ride.  It is also fun to be outside the mainstream, even if it is not always visible.
