I decided I had to tell all of you about this product I purchased since gross feet have been discussed before.

The other night I could not sleep and I saw a commercial for a product name "The Ped Egg". I decided to do some online research of it and discovered some very positive responses.

The product is basically a cheese grater for your feet. It helps remove the nasty dead skin from your feet. The egg shape gives it a place to collect the skin you remove.

I decided to give it a try and purchased one at our local CVS Pharmacy. It only cost $10.00 so I decided it was worth a shot!

I love it! It actually does what it is suppose to do. Best of all, there is absolutely no pain involved. From what I can tell, if you use it and feel pain, you are pushing too hard. The container definitely collected the dead skin. Gross to see and think about, but my feet are so much smoother!

Before using the product, make sure you read the warnings to make sure you would not experience problems with it. One of the main warnings is to not use it if you have Diabetes.

Love it!

I love it, too, Lisa, and it's a lot cheaper than a pedicure!
 
I'm going to find me one of those!
 
Do you have to have really nasty dry feet to use it or can you use it if there is only some spots that are prone to dryness?

My heals are really the only part of my feet that get dry. They really are not that bad. I do not like to see any dry skin on any part of a foot. I just think all feet are icky!
 
This product rocks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
I got one on vacation last month - while a pedicure is definitely better, this definitely helps maintain your rough heels in-between! :)
 
They carry them at Walmart as well for $9.99. Probably Walgreens too.
 
This is too funny, I was at RiteAid last night and saw one on the shelf and decided to try it out. Used it this afternoon and now I find this thread :)

I'm anal about my feet and am always giving myself mini-pedicures, even BEFORE I go get the real deal pedicure professionally. I couldn't stand the thought of someone touching my feet if they were dry/rough even if that's what I'm paying them for LoL. I like mine so far!
 
OK...I saw this but it gave me the heebie geebies thinking about using it. Now looks like I may need to try it out! My heels and side of my big toes need done...eeeewww! I remember looking at my moms feet and wondering just how the heck they could look so bad...then I turned 30 and found out!! lol
 
I get pedicures regularly and between am forever sanding my feet in between! I've heard about this and looked at Target just the other day and they did not have it. I'll have to head to CVS tomorrow! thanks!
 
Us boys get ashy heels too! The egg is great - the only bad thing I found is that everything doesn't go into the egg. Put a towel down when you start scrubbing! Also, if you're ticklish.....
 
eewwwwweeeee!

I think I need to get one of those too. However, it will never take the place of getting a pedi! I love getting pedi's. I could stand to have one right now, but I'm holding out until closer to conference so my little tootsies will be ever so pretty for ya'll. LOL
 
Linda - if you have scaly Georgia clay heels, we're going to talk about you!!!!!
 
Lamar, you will probably talk about me anyhow - but it won't be about my heels!
 
Well, maybe about my high-heels, because I will be wearing cute shoes!
 
I have one too and I just love it!! It's so easy to use and doesn't leave any rough spots.

I agree w/ you!! My gram (I love her to death) has the nastiest feet I have ever seen in my life and b/c of her feet I know have serious feet issues. I can stand to have feet on me, near me or to touch them, other peoples anyhow. I am glad to know that this will work no matter how bad your feet are.
I do have to say...the thought of seeing all of the dead feet skin, makes my stomach churn. YUCK!!:yuck:

:yuck:One comment I read about it referred to the dead skin in the egg as 'DNA Dust'. It really looks like that!
