I desperately need to stop biting my fingernails.?

Question

I'm a guy, and I bite my fingernails way too much. They are really short. What can I do, or what can I use, to stop biting them so much?

Answer 1

Perhaps you could try wearing gloves.

Answer 2

In most drug stores you can buy stuff meant to stop babies from sucking their thumbs.  It is harmless (citric acid) but had a very bitter/sour taste.

If you brush some on your fingernails it will remind you not to bite 'em.

Below is a link to a site that sells the stuff.

Answer 3

i'd say wear bad tasting nail polish, but ur a guy....

i had thata problem too. think about how gross it is.ew

Answer 4

pick your toes whenever you get the urge.

get something nasty on em' you would never want to get into your mouth.

or a less drastic way..

wrap'em up with clear band aids to keep you from getting to them.

without other people noticing the band aids on.

Answer 5

I'm not sure the exact name, but there's this stuff you put on your fingernails... i guess kinda like nailpolish... it doesn't shine or anything so as a guy you could totally use it. It tastes DISGUSTING and so you pretty much won't be able to bite your nails without gagging..
