How do you keep your nail clippings from getting everywhere?
I don't think I've ever seen anyone else clip their nails other than in a movie where someone is intentionally bad at it. So what do you do when you clip your nails to keep them from getting everywhere?
No matter how carefully I try, I just can't seem to keep them from launching all over the room, just to be discovered weeks later.
My setup:
- I take a handkerchief (I carry a handkerchief will me everyday), and shape it into a bowl on a large surface (like my bed or the carpet).
- Then I try to clip my finger & toe nails into the bowl.
- Then I try to shake the handkerchief out over the toilet.
- This doesn't always work because the toilet bowl is too small of a target, so sometimes I:
- fold up the handkerchief
- Go for a drive later that day
- Open the window a tiny bit

- This doesn't always work because the toilet bowl is too small of a target, so sometimes I:
Alternatively:
I'll just clip my nails outside in a secluded area at the park or in a parking lot while I listen to music or a podcast.
EDIT:
Seems like right after a shower/bath is the way to go. Thanks folks!
