hi friends, i use nail cutter for cutting my nails, i have seen so many people bitting his/her nails, when they will be in tension mood they use to bite their nails, and when they watch movie, talking to somebody else they will start bitting their nails, is it not good habit, and very bad also for them. hey don't mistake me my friends, it was just an opinion. ok, friends do you cut your nails with nail cutter or with your teeth.

hi neelimaravi, I cut my nail with nail cutter then i also use clipper to cut the edges then trim shapely curving from side to side. I never cut my nail or bite it with my mouth as it is unsanitary to do. I remember, I also have the habit of pulling my loose nail in my feet when the nails is slightly damage then I pull it until it is remove and sometimes it bleed but still never stop to pull under I finally take it out. I also observe like my sibling they have also the habit of thumb sucking by putting their nail on their mouth when they are watching television or any time they are not busy which I always see to it that they look funny but they would not stop doing it as they are already get use to the habit of sucking.

Hai, what a nice discussion? I hate people biting their nails in public. I get nausea feeling to see that. I will cut my nails only with nail cutter. Since my nails are harder, I cannot cut with small nail cutter. I need the ordinary nail cutter, the image of which you have uploaded.

Hi neelima, Bite our nails is considering as a bad habit and unhealthy too. But many famous personalities are doing the same because it is an unconscious habit for many people. In other words many people don’t realize that they have the habit. Once they realize it they can take measures to avoid the same. Nail bite and cutting nail by teeth are different terms, I think. One is doing purposely and the other is doing absent mindedly. I am using nail cutter to cut my nails. I don’t like to use my teeth to cut my nails.

Hi neelima! I also invariably use nail cutter to trim my nails. I dislike biting my nails, as it could be a unhealthy practice and advice the same to my kids. I have inculcated a habit of cutting nails at regular intervals in my kids and they follow it scrupulously.

When I was a teenager I had that bad habit of biting my nails. Thank goodness I grew out of it. Yes, you are right it's a bad and nasty habit because our nails have alot of germs and its just not good to be biting down on them. I use nail clippers each and everytime since I grew out of the bad habit.

I use my finger nail clippers to cut my finger nails and have a bit nail cutter that I use to cut my toe nails. When I was growing up I use to bite my nails and my mom would yell for me to stop bite my nails and use the finger nail clipper. It was just a bad habit when I got older I quit biting my nails.

I used to have a terrible habit of biting my fingernails. I think that it started when I was a teenager and my father was in the hospital in a coma and the stress was getting the better of me. I did continue that habit for a long time, but now I am making a conscious effort to not bite my nails and to use my nail clippers instead. Since I've quit biting my nails as often, I feel like my fingers look better and I'm not hurting my teeth as well.

I don't bite my fingernails. I cut them with nail clippers. The fingernail biting habit has some psychology tied to it. Some say it's anxiety or nervousness or some uneasy feeling. For me, I wouldn't bite my nails because I don't like to have jagged edged nails. They look unsightly.

Never had develop a habit of biting nails when I was still young. And I see to it that my kids never does develop it too. That is why, I make it a habit for them to cut their nails every week to keep them from growing and tempted them to cut it using their teeth.

I used to use clippers. Then I discovered that is not healthy for the nails. Now I file them on a regular basis. My nails are healthier and stronger now. They do not break, chip or split like they used to. I just file and buff.

I use just about anything to cut my nails! I often like to pick at them, but use nail clippers and files when I'm feeling proper. Sometimes I bite them, or if I have a hangnail and am really desperate, I'll use scissors. It's interesting you bring up this topic today, as I had been growing out my nails and two of them broke this afternoon! So frustrating!

I personally bite my nails when needed and only when needed. My lady friend who just happens to be Vietnamese tells me that I should use a nail cutter to cut them and I've read that it's unhealthy because of stuff in your nails that can transfer to your mouth. But I'm a clean person and a religous one at that. I wonder what Adam and Eve used?
