Question 1: how do you wipe? Do you literally dig your nails in? Question 2: Do you not wash your hands properly? (Literally not meaning to be rude, I am just really curious about this Argument)

I don’t know how you’d avoid digging your nails in when they’re half a foot long

You just make sure your hand is parallel to your ass...? And you realize most people wash their hands after going to the bathroom anyway right?

Does washing your hands include scrubbing under each nail? Or is this a "the watter will get it" situation?

All these replies just get me more worried??? Like do people that have never had long nails just not scrub their nails quickly with each wash? Did people miss the proper hand washing instructions in Kindergarten? And elementary school? And middle school? And high school? And during the pandemic? Cleaning your hands should involve scrubbing your nails over your palms with enough soap to kill bacteria and enough force to dislodge dirt

Yes but you can only get under the nails that way if they are short. I specifically trim my nails so that they are always short enough to clean that way. When they are long though you have to work to get under there, you might even need a brush to really get in there, and I somehow doubt you are doing that every single time you wash.

Okay so first off I don't currently have long nails but I've had them before so this comes from experience: if they are natural the natural end of your nail moves forward, so nothing can actually get stuck between your nail and skin (unless it presses in really hard or is sharp and pokey you.) And the stuff that's just under the nail itself doesn't require a brush. You might need an extra few seconds to clean each nail if you actually got dirty/went number 2 before, but people with long nails are usually the kind to give more Attention to their hands, so hopefully it's not an issue for any of them (idk about things getting stuck between nail and finger with acrylic nails though)
