| Use Toenail Clippers Properly to Help Avoid Ingrown Toenails |
| |
Toenail clippers are used to trim and clean toenails. It’s important to use toenail clippers correctly to help avoid conditions like ingrown toenails.
But don’t get too overzealous when trimming your toenails with toenail clippers! Ingrown toenails occur when the edge of the nail grows directly into the surrounding tissue of the toe, causing pain and discomfort. Using toenail clippers to cut toenails TOO close may result in an ingrown toenail.
The Podiatry Institute recommends trimming your toenails carefully, straight across, with specially designed toenail clippers.
- Do not gouge into the corners.
- Leave toenails slightly longer than the tips of your toes.
Many toenail clippers are available on the market today: big toenail clippers, small toenail clippers, even toenail clippers designed specifically for pets and animals. Footsmart offers precision-crafted, hand-inspected toenail clippers that meet exact design and quality specifications. Our toenail clippers are made of the finest materials, and are fully inspected to ensure exceptional performance.
