I know it depends on how fast your toenails grow. Some people have toenails that seem to grow very quickly. I think I have to trim my son's every week. However, mine don't seem to grow that fast. How often do you trim your toenails?

i trim my toenails once i get the time to do so and when there's really a need for trimming. i really don't have much free time so i don't get to care much of my nails the way other girls do but not to the point that it looks so dirty though. i still make sure my nails look good and clean of course.

This may sound a little weird but I don't cut my toenails I file them. When you cut them their always so sharp, and jagged. It makes for a nice pedicure, and it's really just as fast as cutting them. I do this about one a week when I do a nice epsom salt foot soak.

I file mine too along with cutting them.

Hello Shar. I trim my toenail every fortnight, I guess. But I trim my fingernail very often, every week. I like my fingernails long. If they are long, I don't feel comfortable, so I always trim my fingernails very short.

As often as they need it. My toenails grow at a reasonable speed, meaning I can keep up with them in this busy life I'm living. They seem to need trimming about twice a month because the bath water seems to make them grow. I use to trim them once a month but twice a month is fair enough to keep from cutting my husband while I'm sleeping. I cut him before and he kicked a field goal. But I think he was over exaggerating about cutting his skin off. My toenails are good to me. No problem. I got it covered.

Oh yes, long toenails in the bed can be a problem.

My toenails grow at different rates and different seasons. It seems in the summer they grow faster just like hair. I usually procrastinate trimming my nails until finally they seem to sharp and then I grab the clippers. I always fee a little better when my toe nails are at a normal length. Take care Shar.

Hi ya Shar19 I probably do mine just once every two weeks and my kids once a week maybe because they consume more calcium than me!

I never even thought about the calcium thing. That explains why my son's grow like crazy. He drinks a lot of milk.
