The Ped Egg!!!!!!
Has anyone seen the TV ad for the Ped Egg? It looks icky and painful right?
Well, it is so amazing!
I went ahead and purchased one after reading some recommendations on the MUA nail board. It is basically like a callus "grater" and is shaped like an egg. The dead skin is accumulated inside the grater, and then when you're done getting your feet smooth, you simply dispose of it.
Now yes, it sounds disgusting, and yes I was skeptical at first, but I don't regret it one bit! I am going to save so much money of pedicures, it's insane.
Here's how it works:
Your feet are supposed to be dry. You hold the Ped Egg in your hand and gently scrape your heels with it. It is super gentle, and doesn't hurt one bit! You simply have to go back and forth, and all the dead skin comes right off and goes inside the Ped Egg. When you're done scraping, you file them with the emery board that is provided in order to get everything smooth and evened out.
Finally, slather on some foot cream, and voilą! Perfectly smooth, soft as a baby's bottom feet!
I cannot rave about this enough! It works so well and is so cheap! I payed mine 15$ CND and it will last me a super long time.
If you guys ever come across the Ped Egg, I say get it! It's such an investment!

Re: The Ped Egg!!!!!!
Definitely works great. I've had one for a few months now & whenever my heels get a little dry I use it. It's a keeper. The shavings kinda gross me out, but it's still a keeper.

Re: The Ped Egg!!!!!!
Ok, I don't want to be the party pooper on this thread...but I've been using the Ped Egg on/off since Valentines Day of this year. My mom got a set for herself & me from QVC or HSN (I can't remember), it's the Ped Egg Platinum. It's a black egg and it came with 5 of the sticky-sided buffer things that go on the outside of the egg.
At first, I was so happy when I used it. My felt felt amazing and I hadn't even applied lotion to them. After applying lotion, they felt even better. I was super impressed. However, the next morning, my feet looked somewhat rough & were not as smooth as before.
I find the ped egg is perfect for quick fixes...I mean you're going somewhere and wearing cute shoes that show your heels and they might be in need of a good buff/scrape. Other than that, I find that my feet don't stay soft for very long. Shame, because I love how it makes my feet feel, but it just doesn't last for long. I'll just stick to using my callus shaver, even though that is more annoying and takes more time, but I find the results last longer with that.

Haha me and my mom call that "foot" When she files her feet, and the powder gets everywhere, I say "Mom, you're getting foot all over the place"
I guess I'll try this....Does anyone else have a problem with the results lasting? Maybe I should get my mom one...

Re: The Ped Egg!!!!!!
LOL Damn
I just looked up the commercial on YouTube and I was all amazed until they dumped it out. Ya'll should have seen the look of sheer disgust creep onto my face.
It does look like a cool product though. My feet are always dry and rough, so I'm going to pick this up if I see it around.
