This nipper allows you to create square-shaped nails and prevent in-grown toenails. In-grown toenails are painful but luckily you can help prevent them by making sure you don't cut the corners of your toenails. When toenails are cut into the corners, toenails have a tendency to grow into the skin. This is why it's important to cut toenails in a square shape. Typical nippers on the market surprisingly don't make it easy to do so. The curvature of this nipper, however, curves away from the nail allowing small precise cuts and the creating of square-shaped nails.
