“After a life of cutting bread badly and ‘making do’ with right-handed implements, a whole new world was opened up to me when I started buying products designed specifically for left handers.

So, as a left hander who has to live in a right-handed world, I thought it would be useful to create a portal where fellow left handers can find interesting information, plus easily locate all kinds of items from online left-handed stores.

This is a newly-launched site, and I intend to add a whole series of new shops and products over the coming weeks and months. So bookmark this site and visit us again soon.

Or, subscribe for free and we’ll keep you updated through our newsletter as and when new stores are signed up. If there is a particular left-handed item you want to buy and you can’t find it via our portal, please let us know and we’ll try to source an appropriate affiliate partner to plug the gap.

We lefties may be in a minority but, at an estimate, there are probably about 660 million of us altogether on the planet.

That’s a heck of a lot of us who have to put up with living in a right-handed world. Let’s hear it for southpaws!”

Carole’s right-handed husband, Alan Bannister, has learned how to live in a left-handed household and is now happily ambidextrous when operating a computer mouse or using kitchen gadgets. You can contact Alan at: alan@thelefthandedsite.com “Until I met Carole, I hadn’t lived with any left-handed people, so the concept of how lefties have to adapt to a right-handed world never even crossed my radar. But I soon realised that left-handed people do things in completely opposite ways when, one day, I tried to use my scalpel to cut some card. Carole had been using it and had made it blunt by cutting with the other side of the blade.

So I hope this site will also be of interest to right-handed people and will act as an eye opener to the ways of the left-handed world.”
