Ped Egg.

[Maddy McCall]

Yeah, let's talk about the indelicate topic of filing dead skin off of feet.

Just in case you're wondering, it works.

Anyone else buy one? I have never bought an "as seen on TV" item in my life (well, I take that back...I bought a Ronco Rotisserie at Big Lots several years ago). I picked up a Ped Egg at Walgreens last night for ten dollars...five minutes with it, and then some lotion, and I'd swear I'd had a pedicure.

So, if you're wondering if they work, they do.

[Midlodemocrat]

1. My God it works unbelievably well.

I couldn't believe how great it works. Bought it at CVS figuring that if it didn't work, I would just have tossed out $10, but holy cow.

My heels are smooth for the first time in years. Sure beats the hell out of using a pumice stone standing on one foot in the shower.

[Maddy McCall]

3. Same here.

It does everything it's advertised to do. And oh does it beat pumice stones or any of the assorted other Dr. Scholl's stuff I've now trashed. :)

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

2. My wife uses my orbital sander.

:shrug:

[Maddy McCall]

5. I'd thought about using my dad's table grinder...

thank god it didn't come to that.

:P

[KatyaR]

4. I bought one Sunday.

My feet were like a cheese grater, they were awful. The darn thing worked miracles, I tell you. It's amazing how smooth your feet feel after you use it.

It's definitely worth the $10 bucks, and it sure beats the pumice stone in the shower.

[Maddy McCall]

6. My heels needed help terribly...

I go barefoot way too much in the summer...

My feet look like I've had a pedicure this morning.

[Midlodemocrat]

7. Mine, too. I wear flip flops all year long.

and my heels were disgusting. sniffa would not have approved. LOL.

[Maddy McCall]

8. I do, too.

And...shhh...don't tell anyone...I wear Crocs, too. Terrible on the heels.

[Midlodemocrat]

11. Psst. Maddy, over here.

So do I. :rofl:

[Maddy McCall]

12. So you know what I'm talking about!

Heels from hell! :D

[bicentennial_baby]

31. Third!

On both the flip flops and the Crocs. :rofl:

[Phillycat]

41. All I wear - Rainbow flip flops and Crocs.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

9. thanks maddy, i was wondering.

[Maddy McCall]

10. If you buy one...

you won't be disappointed.

[Schema Thing]

13. Is it gentle enough for a man?

:hide:

[Maddy McCall]

15. Men use them.

Just go easy!

[I Have A Dream]

62. ...but it's made for a woman.

;)

[Orrex]

14. They also work wonders for grating your parmigiano-reggiano onto a salad

Just don't tell your guests!

[Maddy McCall]

16. Gross.

But why use the cheese? Just dump the foot filings on the salad...they'll never know the difference after cocktail hour.

[KamaAina]

48. Um, are you sure that's file in the gumbo, chere?

:scared: :scared: :scared:

[Connonym]

17. Is it better than the callus removers (please see pic inside)

like these ? I use one of these with pretty good luck, is the egg even better than that? If so I'm buying one today.

[Maddy McCall]

18. I *had* one of those. Just like that.

I threw it away.

The Ped Egg is 100x better.

My heels were scary...and the callouses are gone.

Here...look at this video:

[Connonym]

22. sweet!

I'm going to have to stop at Walgreens this afternoon! thanks :)

[LynneSin]

44. What's nice is the dead skin end up inside of the egg

so you just dump it out when you're done!

[DeposeTheBoyKing]

19. They do work - yes indeed

My problem isn't calluses - it's just little dry pieces of skin that stick up like hangnails. I know it's gross, but it's good to get the things off!

[Maddy McCall]

21. Like Midlo said above...

flip flops and crocs torment feet. I'm amazed at how soft my feet are after one session with this little thing.

[DeposeTheBoyKing]

24. And that's practically all I wear - the Croc flip-flop!

No wonder I'm having so many problems!

[Phillycat]

20. Holy crap, I am SO buying this!

I have the pumice stone (useless) and the razor thingie (terrifying) and my feet look horrible because I haven't been able to have a pedicure since I sprained my ankle.

THANK YOU! :hi:

[Maddy McCall]

23. You can get them....

at Target, WalMart, Walgreens, CVS, Rite Aid....

Most chains carry them.

And you don't have to pay shipping. It's the best little footcare thing I've ever used.

[Bake]

25. You can get the same result with a cheese grater and a palm sander

Just go easy ...

Actually, Mrs.B got the Egg and LOVES IT!!!

Bake

[Maddy McCall]

26. Nuh-uh!

:D

:hi:

[Bake]

27. Confession time.

I HAVE actually used the orbital palm sander on my calluses. Terrifying but true.

:hi:

Bake

[Maddy McCall]

29. Don't do that drunk!

:D

[Shakespeare]

28. I've been wondering if that really worked!!

I'm a barefoot person, too, so I've GOTTA get one of these.

And I've just exposed the SO to the pleasures of a nice pedi (by me--don't think I'll get him into a salon for one anytime soon), and he needs the ped egg worse than I do.

[Maddy McCall]

30. See the video in this post.

Works great, even on this guy's really bad callouses.

[ceile]

32. Oh cool.

I've been thinking of getting one, but I never trust that "seen on tv" stuff. I think I'll stop and pick one up on my way home...

[Maddy McCall]

34. Report back, ok?

I'm not doing free advertising for Ped Egg...I'm trying to save DUers some money on pedicures, when they can do the worst part at home. :D

[LadyoftheRabbits]

33. I finally found mine again!

After moving, I couldn't find it for a while... it's the only thing that'll work on my nasty feet. :P

[Maddy McCall]

35. Yep...

I'm still amazed. I WON'T misplace mine. lol.

[RedShoes]

36. yup, but I needed to wear safety glasses...

because it didn't all go into the egg. ewww

[Maddy McCall]

38. LOL.

And a face mask?

:rofl:

[RedShoes]

68. practically. I must have some really nasty feet.

:rofl:

[NewEnglandGirl]

37. I love it too

it makes your feet baby soft and it is better than the one that qvc sells (microplane), even though that one comes with this yummy cream that reminds me of an orange creamsickle.:thumbsup: :)

[Maddy McCall]

39. I need to go by Bath and Body and get some lotion...

Orange Creamsickle sounds scrumptious.

[AwakeAtLast]

40. I will consider buying one - thanks for the review

However I love spa pedicures - it is the one small luxury I splurge on every now and then.

[Maddy McCall]

45. You're welcome.

:D

[MonkeyFunk]

42. sorry, those commercials are disgusting

I don't need to see it "emptied" like a big pile of parmesan foot-shavings.

[Maddy McCall]

46. In reality...

it looks just like the commercial.

:D I hope I didn't make you gag.

At least I didn't discuss my beautiful petals. :P

[bicentennial_baby]

54. ...

:rofl:

[Genevieve]

59. . . .

OMG!

:thumbsup: :rofl:

[LynneSin]

43. I love my Ped Egg

I like to keep my feet soft & supple!

[Maddy McCall]

47. Supple...

that's a word you don't hear very often to describe feet.

:D

[bbernardini]

49. There's a suit against the company, you know...

http://consumerist.com/tag/great-moments-in-commercial-history/?i=5019940&t=pedegg-ads-scam-suit-alleges

[Shakespeare]

51. And I love the responses; lots of "so what, it really works!"

I've gotta get one.

[Maddy McCall]

52. Has nothing to do with the way the product works, and it works as advertised.

[Kali]

50. hmmm might give it a try

never had a pedicure (not my style) and I go barefoot ALL the time. Used to just go wading up the sand wash when the rains came and that usually did the trick for the year :rofl:

but 10 years of drought and my lazy ass equals not so much walking anymore.

[Tektonik]

53. My mom has one, and they do work

It's neat that one can also buy blade replacements.

[SPKrazy]

55. A thread about exfoliating...

:puke:

blech

I thought it was like an easter egg thread :P


:rofl:

:hi:

[Skittles]

56. aw THANKS Maddy

it's one of those things I see in the store but I'm skeptical until I hear testimony. Preach it sister!

[Connonym]

57. OK I went and bought one today. Who else did?

Haven't used it yet but already all the womenfolk in my household are coveting.

[Maddy McCall]

63. Hurry up and get to filing!

And report back. :D

[malta blue]

58. that is great to know...I was wondering

if it worked.

I will have to go get one now. I am so tired of balancing in the shower with the pumice stone.

[Fran Kubelik]

60. Oooh - thanks for the endorsement

I am so going to get one. :thumbsup:

[carlyhippy]

61. My kid bought one of those

they do work, according to her. My other kid asked why not get the cheese grater? It's the same thing.

[PBS Poll-435]

64. Fantastic Product

And the filings might make a good revenge material.

:shrug:

[mcctatas]

65. I bought one...

it took of a nice little chunk of living pink flesh! I'll stick with the loofah from now on...

[Connonym]

67. you must not have hoof feet

I don't think I have any living pink flesh on the bottoms of my heels. I think I just ruined my dainty image (hahahahahahah)

[Eurobabe]

66. I keep seeing ads for them

nice to know you can buy them at Walgreens. I am getting one before I go back across the pond. make that 2 of them, my husband needs some serious footwork. LOL.

Glad to hear they work. :hi:

[CatWoman]

69. Maddy - I bought one a week or so ago

and you're right -- it works great.

:hi:

you can also use on elbows and other places rough spots may appear :)
