Hard Toenails

[crosspatch65]

Can anyone suggest something to soften toe nails to make them easier to cut.please

I soak mine for an hour in hot soapy water in a plastic sink bowl !

Immediately after a bath or shower.

As has been said, hot water is probably all that's needed.

However, if you're having difficulties trimming your toenails, I have to ask what are you cutting them with? I used to find great difficulty cutting my toenails with scissors but I found that the purchase of a set of good quality nail clippers was enough to make the task really simple.

Do what I have had to do as I can no longer manage; splash out on a chiropodist.

Do they come to your home jack ?

[Jackdaw33]

I live in sheltered accommodation and a lady comes every six weeks so residents can see her. She is very good and only charges £10. Most chiropodists do home visits but be prepared to pay more than I do.

I'm not recommending this particular product, Cross.....but I have one similar...

I never cut my toenails now......I just use this about every seven to ten days to keep my nails in good condition and shapely.....and it's quite easy to use when it becomes difficult to reach with scissors...x

[Jackdaw33]

A link would be useful, Gness.

[anneasquith]

What is it G? 6 weeks seems a long time between visits jack .

[gness]

That'll teach me to post when I'm listening to the exciting part of a murder play..... :-(

[Jackdaw33]

Six weeks is nothing. I only see her every other visit so I can easily go twelve weeks before my feet need attention.

[pastafreak]

Twelve...or even six...weeks before your toenails are cut? I need to cut mine every few weeks. And toenails are said to grow slower than fingernails.

[Jackdaw33]

Mine must grow very slowly then. Actually it's only the big toe-nails that I cannot manage.
