Not the most pleasant of topics I know. Because of my big belly and more importantly my asthma, I find it almost impossible to cut my toe nails. When stretching down, I get out of breath very quickly and with recovery periods can take a whole afternoon just to do one foot plus copious amounts of Ventolin puffer.

Does anyone know where I can get long handled clippers (not scissors as my nails are too tough even after soaking)?

You are not alone with this problem,

try lifting your foot to you rather than stretching down,,

sit on a hard chair and lift your foot onto another chair, this takes a lot of strain out of the posture,

you can get nail softening cream from a chemists

how about the chiropodist at your doctors surgery???? that's what they are there for!!1

Richard, thanks but I entered the site and all I got was a promo for a palm surfer.

Boyo, I already asume that position if you'll pardon the expression, but I will be in Spain for 6 months.

Go to the Farmacia and ask, they have foot care practioners in Spain too, They are usually very helpful.
