Trimming finger and toe nails? (self.Blind)
submitted by razzretina
This is a bit of an odd question but nobody ever really showed me so I'm asking you guys. How do you keep nail clippings from getting everywhere when you trim your nails? I try to hold my hands or feet over a trash can or have a paper towel under them, but I get clippings everywhere anyway. I've mostly given up and just sit outside to do it now, but it's winter and I have my limits, ha ha. Thanks for any tips!

I usually do it over the drain of a sink or tub. That way I can turn on the water when I'm done and wash the clippings away.

Take tape to the open sides of the clippers and throw away the tape when done

I have nail clippers that catch the nails but as far as I know, you can’t buy them anymore. They were from the RNIB.

If you do it when your nails are damp, they don’t fly all over.

I do it over the toilet.

I guess none of us have the same approach. I do it in the living room then vacuum when done.
