Why do my nails bother me when i do dishes?

Answer 1

When doing dishes, your nails get softer as they absorb water and adapt to the conditions of the water, similar to how your fingers get pruney when you have your hands in water for extended periods of time. Nails get soft and weak, especially if they are already thin or weak, so that would be why your nails feel a bit strange or frail when you are doing dishes.
