Efficient ways to stop biting nails?

Question

I have been trying to quit for three months. Yes, I have used the thing you put on your nails and tastes very bad when you go near it, didn't work. Using something to play with while I have the urge didn't work either. Do any of you have any tips?

Answer

I didn't even realize that I quit biting my nails while doing this, but I stopped biting them when I started keeping them painted basically on a daily basis, because I don't like the idea or texture of nail polish in my mouth. If you haven't already done this, it's worth a try!

Answer

Okay I used to be a really bad nail biter, like I would but them down until they're short lmao My friend told me to paint my nails a pretty colour that will distract me every time I look at my nails to bite them and it worked to make my nail biting habits less bad. Another thing that stopped me is my ex when we were together he said "I don't like girls that bite their nails; I think it's gross", "I won't hold your hand anymore if you keep biting them", etc all to help me stop. And so every time he caught me picking my nails I'd stop or he would hold my hands down away from the other hand LOL After that I tried doing nail art to stop myself from fidgeting and picking at my nails (you wouldn't wanna ruin the art you've worked hard for or paid for right?) So now I don't really bite my nails anymore, I just pick at them every now and then when it breaks off but I'd just file them down 😊💅🏼

Answer

Cut them right down with nail scissors or clippers for a few weeks so there is no nail to bite. It'll break the habit and after 2-3 weeks you can let them grow out

Answer

Get shellac or some type of gel polish on your nails. You arent eating through that! I mean you could... but it would take a lot of effort to do so.

Answer

I'm doing the same, but my trick is to pick one nail that you're going to bite, and you have to leave the rest to grow, it's working well for me ☺️
