When I worked in a file room I had hang nails like mad!

I took Dermicel tape (sp?)- the plastic tape that use in ER/hospitals-and used that. Because you can peel off the width of the tape that you need? I could take 1/4 inch strips-about three inches long- and wrap them around my my fingers mid-nail.

It left me with enough 'feel' on my fingertips and protected my hangnails from getting worse.

As the day goes on the end of the tape begins to 'fray' -the tape is perforated so you can just peel off the end and toss it.
