Problem: Article: Washing your hands and feet regularly with warm water and soap (including washing your feet at least once a day when you have a shower) helps to keep them clean. This, in turn, minimizes the chance that a fungal infection will grow on your nails. Make sure that you wash between your fingers and toes, as well as over the nails themselves. Regular and thorough washing is one of the best things you can do for prevention. It is important to clip your nails regularly to keep them short. This minimizes the surface area upon which fungi can grow, and it also decreases the moisture and dirt that can get trapped under long nails. Regular trimming increases the hygiene of your nail environment, hence reducing the probability of developing a fungal infection. As much as nail polish and artificial nails may seem aesthetically appealing, they trap additional moisture in your nails and actually increase your risk of developing a fungal infection. Avoid nail polish and artificial nails if possible. Also, if you attend a nail salon for regular nail maintenance, ensure that it is a reliable one that keeps their instruments very clean, so as not to increase your chances of infection in any way.  If you are concerned about nail fungus but want to still go for a pedicure or manicure, it is okay to do so. The cleaning and trimming of your nails can actually be beneficial. However, you are advised to forego the nail polish at the end. Your nails can still look nice and presentable after a pedicure or manicure, even without nail polish. Also avoid artificial nails or any artistic decorations on your nails. Therefore, if you have developed a fungal infection on one nail, it is important to wash your hands whenever you touch that nail to minimize the chances that the infection will spread from one nail to your other nails.
Summary: Wash your hands and feet regularly. Trim your nails regularly. Keep your nails natural. Be aware that fungal infections can spread from one nail to another.

Problem: Article: Slip on the loose pair of jeans, zippering and buttoning them up as usual.  This is the only method in which you must wear your jeans as you shrink them. Since you will be shrinking your jeans as you wear them, the jeans will shrink around your legs, create a perfect, snug fit. You should begin this process on the same day you plan to wear your jeans. If this is not possible, then use this method to shrink your jeans a day or two before you wear them. Do not wash the jeans after shrinking them, though, since doing so could cause the fibers to relax and ease back into their original, loose position. Fill the tub with enough hot water to cover your legs and waist completely.  Make the water as hot as you can tolerate. Obviously, you want to avoid burning yourself with water that is too hot to handle, but lukewarm water will not be able to cause the fibers to contract enough for sufficient shrinkage. Test the temperature of the water with your hand to gauge how hot it is. Slowly ease yourself into the hot water while still wearing your jeans. Remain in the bathtub until the water cools to room temperature.  If you made the water sufficiently hot, it should take at least 20 minutes for the water to cool. Make sure that your jeans are completely submerged under the water. If your legs or part of your waistband remain above water, add more hot water to the bathtub until these exposed portions are submerged, as well. Air dry your jeans so that they conform to the shape of your legs.  If possible, sit outside in a sunny location to do this. Make sure to choose a hot day to prevent yourself from getting sick and to help the jean fibers continue to contract. Sit in a plastic or metal chair. Avoid absorbent surfaces that may soak up the water from your jeans. You may need to turn yourself as you sit or lie out in the sun. Otherwise, the tops of your legs will dry while the back will remain wet. It can take several hours for your jeans to dry.
Summary:
Put your jeans on. Fill the bathtub with hot water. Get in the bathtub. Sit out in the sun until dry.
