Do toe nails stop growing once you are an adult?

Or slow down, at least? I remember having it done a lot more often as a child but I am sure I only do it once or twice a year now! Or maybe I just go longer without noticing/seeing my toes so it just gets overlooked.

Ok, follow up question, how regularly do people cut theirs? What is a 'normal' amount of time? 😕

@Emele Additional info: exposing your feet to the sunlight as often as possible will lead to increased nail growth, because the Sun is your best source of vitamin D.

@helenS That makes sense as to why it might feel like a long time since I last needed to do it! Having been in the long dark winter months

@Emele Lack of sunlight (because we wear socks and shoes) is one of the two main reasons why toenails grow more slowly, compared with fingernails. The other one is gravity. Honest, true.
