PED EGG

It's an infomercial in a category of its own. You want to turn from the TV screen, but you can't stop staring at, well, the cup of foot "shavings" getting dumped into the waste basket.

Not a pretty thought, but such a simple idea that could prove to be helpful.


  • As stated by my brother after falling victim to another pedegg infomercial:

    "Why couldn't they use an orange peel to demonstrate this same process??"


    Product Promise: "Safe to touch, Ergnomic Design, Traps Shavings--no mess."

    My stand, on the foot issue: I am not ok with foot care anywhere, but the bathroom--that's clipping, smoothing, filing or as mentioned above (cringe) "shaving". I've had many different bathrooms, most of which are not really the "spa" environment conducive to ergonomic-no mess foot care. Could the ped egg help me with this?


    Cost: about $12 (they have them in stores now)

    Concerns: the judgemental looks I will most likely receive for this purchase, having to dump the ped egg--no longer being disgusted with the model on TV, but with myself.


    Trial:
  • the ped egg definately helps to smooth my feet....it also has an emery/file to use--nice, but no ideas of how to keep that foot dust out of the air.


  • I'm not so sure about the ergonomics of it..yes, the "egg" fits nicely into the palm of your hand, but you still hav to bend down to reach your foot.


  • not wanting to lean over any longer, I have a genious moment, and decide to put my left foot up on my knee ---one problem--this meant I was holding the file on the ped egg downward...... it dumped out.

  1. I have a ped egg! I thought it was really cool, and it worked really well. I've had it for...a year? Although it was super awesome at first, I just noticed the other day the blade has become really dull. I also had a problem with it "leaking". Overall, I think it was decent product, not over priced and accomplished the job it advertised.
