OT. what are cuticle clippers for?
OT. what are cuticle clippers for?
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01E4YM6MW I've always thought they were for cutting off the little piece of skin that is sometimes at the right or left end of a nail. But it fanally occurred to me that I only have that once a year or less and even then I think it's becauase I do bad things with my fingernail, things most people don't do. My mother had a pair of them and I know she never mistreated her fingers. So do you or your wives have one of these things; how often do you have a use for it? Is it just for that little stub of skin at the front corner of a nail? |

Wow. What a silly, maybe horrific thing to do to oneself! Pushing the skin at the root of the nail back. Why? Is there a need for that? Does someone want to erect an office building? A shopping center? What benefit does 0.5 mm. of extra nail do anyone in place of the skin that is already there? I thought I "mistreated" my nails by not use nail trimmers regularly or properly, but in my entire life, I've never had the need to mess with anything but those front corners (and them rarely). All ten look fine. And my toes too. Am I just lucky? Are women plagued by RSGC, rampant skin growth of the cuticle? Does it make it hard to type? To put on finger rings? I just googled the RSGC Foundation, and it says this is mostly a problem in 3rd world countries, but there are cases in the USA. Now I feel guilty that I've been callous. My heart goes out to all those with excessive cuticle formation (ECF). |

They are NOT intended as a way to avoid ever having to do your own research. You REALLY need to learn to look things up BEFORE you post. If you can't find an answer to your question after some well thought out searches, THEN ask you question here. It gets really tiring seeing all the stupid inanities you post here every time anything crosses your "mind". You might even find you can get a better answer FASTER. "Daddy, why does the ...?" |

OT. what are cuticle clippers for? No idea https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cuticle#Human_anatomy https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01E4YM6MW I've always thought they were for cutting off the little piece of skin that is sometimes at the right or left end of a nail. Never needed to do that. I do get some long thin bits of the nail that come off the side of the nail, but when I mentioned that I might be getting that a little more often to the GP, all I got was a blank response and I didn't bother to say any more about it. Normal nail cutters cut them off fine. But it fanally occurred to me that I only have that once a year or less and even then I think it's becauase I do bad things with my fingernail, things most people don't do. You should go to your room, boy. My mother had a pair of them and I know she never mistreated her fingers. So do you or your wives have one of these things; I do. how often do you have a use for it? I have used it for cutting the fingernails but not for the thumb nails or the big toe nails. Those nails are too solid for it. Is it just for that little stub of skin at the front corner of a nail? Never for me, I don't get any skin there that does ever need cutting. |
