Toenails: How big?

[Evadne]

I always trim them at 3/8" to prevent holes in my socks.

I do mine in metric cos I find it scans better

 

[benjenbav]

The instructions with my Dubarry Shamrocks said to be careful to keep them trimmed but gave no additional detail.

I let mine grow until they curl over...gives a better grip o the deck when barefoot!

I use a pair of pliers, don't have to worry about them for another six months then. Although it takes a bit of practice to get them out in one pull.

Big enough to cover the end of my toe does the trick.

... some miserable git will tell us that the fora aren't here for fun.

I tend to go for about 3mm of free toe nail, so that they don't poke through the holes in my socks.

This could be the solution to Jimi's shoe-wear problem. /forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

A thin coating of Sikaflex on the nail ends prevent wearing holes in socks, available only in black or white, if demand grows may be available in coral pink next year.

Isnt this covered in the RYA Yachtmasters first aid section..?

Anti fouling is better than nail varnish if you have to go by dinghy from the hard - easily applied at the same time as doing the boat, just wear open toed sandals. Stops the carbuncles a treat!

Length depends on how hungry SWMBO is /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Yuk

...It reminds me of Red Dwarf and the Dave Lister method of trimming toenails. /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

Handy for clearing Earwax.
