Trim fingernails during bathtime to minimize cleanup

Jenn's practical bathtime hack:

The other day I had the kids in the tub and upon closer inspection, saw that they needed their nails clipped. I decided to trim their nails right then and there, in the tub. Not only were their nails softened by the water, but the bits of trimmed nails went right down the drain. No cleanup!

The only potential problem I can see here is that the fingernail clipper could get slippery. This Safety 1st clipper is nice and grippy and looks easier to handle.
