    Important fact. Cutting nails regularly decrease your chance to infections.

    So how to make this process easier?

    1. Soften the nails, attempt cutting nails after a bath or shower.
    2. Choose the tools, including a nail file, decent toenail nipper or regular toe clipper will be perfect tools to do so.
    3. Technique. Cut your nails straight accross as possible. Avoiding "V" shape will prevent ingrown toenails.
    4. File rough, sharp or not even edges.
    5. Moisturise your cuticle and nails. This will increase the nails flexibility.
