some people use scissors in cutting their fingernails and even toe nails!!!

What is the matter with finger nails with you? You seems to be after them, they have their own life. Do let them live!

Scissors? Well, I wouldn't be able to do that. It would drive me nuts. :) LOL! I use the nail cutter. BTW, how come so many nail discussions today? Cheers and happy Mylotting

One of the best all-round exercises for older people is biting their toe-nails off. My toenails are always neat and tidy. Sometimes I even wash my feet first, but if you change your socks several times a week this is not always necessary. If you look at my avatar (which is me) you can see that I'm just getting ready to do my weekly pedicure.

I've tried using scissors one time to cut my fingernails and it doesn't work very good, let alone your toenails, I think it would be harder to do because generally your toenails are harder than your fingernails. I guess it would be better than biting them, but I think I would try to find some clippers somewhere, they aren't that expensive..ha.

Yes I did; experienced cutting my nails w/ scissors. My mother did it when we were kids as nail cutters were not common that time hence doing it w/ the scissors but am doing it w/ clippers now, it's more easy and convenient of course.

I've seen some people cutting their nails with scissors and I think they reason is maybe because there is no clippers available, lol. I haven't tried to cut my nail with scissors and I will not try because you said it is harder, lol.

I always use nail cutter to cut my nails, I can't imagine I will be able to make it with scissors...

With my luck I'd end up cutting off a finger or a toe using scissors like that. I'll just stick with clippers and be happy with them. [b]~~AT PEACE WITHIN~~ **STAND STRONG IN YOUR BELIEFS**[/b]

Hello Bebs. I use clippers to cut my nails instead of using scissors. I feel more comfortable using clippers and I think that it is safer. But of course, if I have to use scissors, I can also handle it.

I have not tried cutting my nails with a scissor! I have always used the clippers because I have found that very convenient. And I do not bite my nails ever.

I guess they want jagged nails. Scissors are not made for trimming your nails, they are not rounded so if somebody wants to trim their nails that way then stay out of the way.

Yes, I do see some people using scissors too and they are mostly oldies. And I am amazed they could do it. I can't even do that myself. I always use nail cutter or course.

Hey Bebs! I would never use scissors to cut my nails! It isn't even a good idea to do that! I always use nail clippers! You get a better cut with them! It is safer and healthier to use nail clippers! That's what they are made for! I don't know why anyone would use scissors! They are dangerous and don't cut the nails correctly! You have to be very careful when you are cutting your fingernails and toenails or you could get a bad infection!
