Great for Filing Down Damaged Toenail
I use this to file down a thickened, damaged toenail. The glass file broke on my first use because it's very, very brittle. Luckily, it didn't result in small shards of glass everywhere, it just broke in half. It almost seems acrylic, but I think it is glass.<br /><br />The main filing blocks are clearly labeled and easy to use. They're pretty big so easy to grip--I'm a man with medium sized hands so if it's easy for me, should be easy for most women. I can't attest to how long these will last, but the filing blocks are made of seemingly rigid foam. I'll report back if these break.<br /><br />As for the surfaces of the filing block, they really are varied, unlike what some reviewers claim. So you do have different steps to do your nails in. What I use to file down my damaged big toe is soak in warm, epsom salt water (helps kill bacteria), and I dry off with a towel right before filing. After filing a bit off, I re-dip my feet into the soaking solution, and repeat this process. My toenail looks fairly normal, but you must also remember to be careful in filing, I suggest a circular motion because if you go too fast/hard/deep you might bleed.
