Trimming your toenails is an important part of maintaining good foot hygiene. Long or thick toenails can be uncomfortable and can lead to problems such as ingrown toenails or fungal infections. Using a toenail clipper is the safest and most effective way to trim your toenails.
Toenail clippers come in a variety of shapes and sizes, but they all have the same basic design. They have two blades that are held together by a spring. When you squeeze the handles of the clipper, the blades come together and cut the nail.
