I bought this originally because I was very scared to cut baby nails, however there is definitely a learning curve in using this product also. It wasn鈥檛 as easy as I was hoping. That being said, once you get the hang of it, it is a little more intuitive. The motor will stop if there is too much pressure so you can鈥檛 hurt your little ones tender fingers. There are different papers for different nail thicknesses. The storage case is convenient and ergonomic. It isn鈥檛 loud so it won鈥檛 startle baby.
