Have you ever used a ped-egg?

Yes I love it. Matter of fact my husband who gave me one of those looks when I brought it home basically has claimed it for himself. It works great, and I feel was worth the 10 bucks.

I forgot to also ask: How long does one blade last? Thanks

Yup. It’s good.

I must have gotten a bad egg. Mine didn’t work at all.

Carla What don’t you like about it…? It made no difference?

My mom has one and loves it. My sister has been threatening to swipe it jokingly, but now plans to order her own.

It didn’t do anything, The blade was dull and didn’t take anything off my feet unless I scaped so hard that it hurt my hand. I was really bummed. I took their basic idea and bought a micoplane at a housewares store. It works great, I just us a paper towel under my feet to catch the scrapings.

@Carla I wouldn’t be so concerned about the whole “capturing” of the stuff in the egg myself. I just want the darned thing to work…..and they seem expensive for what they are…..

maybe your skin is already in such great shape there is nothing to scrape?

—LoL! I wish, I have very calloused heels from wearing no shoes most of the time.—

I have terminal flip flop feet from living in AZ despite biweekly pedicures, vix vaporub nightly, pumice etc. I used the egg and it was fine but didn’t work as well as a Tweezerman product that is basically a two-sided pumic stone with a handle. I use it every day in the shower and it works much better than anything! I bought it in Walgreens for about $20 and it’s really worth it.

wait, you put vaporub on your feet?
wha…what?

@baseballnut….vaporub!!???!! I’ve never heard of that before…for feet, that is!

I have a Tweezerman tool, I love! It has the microplane on one side and a file to smooth things out, on the other.

I think I’m too grossed out by the commercial; however, I’ve wondered if it works. the part where they are dumping it out, I don’t know, it just grosses me out! I know that is what happens, but ew. I do have a low tolerance, though!

No, but my friend’s mother has a pedo-file. Worst product name choice imaginable. I’m sure someone lost their job over that one.

Holy Carp!! That is a horrible name! I can’t believe it made it through test marketing!

or…maybe there wasn’t any test marketing!

Or maybe it was just test marketed to members of the clergy…

rofl….........oh….I probably should just stop here.

I’m still laughing though…very good, shockvalue! :)

Do you see what I did there?

Haha, oh god. I’m going to hell for that.

I bought it, was so excited, and the damn thing doesn’t work at all! What an effing disappointment!

@shockvalue (non-practicing Catholic…for so many different reasons!)

I’ll be there with you!!! According to my Aunt, (who sends me books on becoming a Catholic, again.) I’m doomed and I will burn in hell!

You just know our family reunions are so much fun!

I’m just hoping my family will get into the whole Jehovah’s Witness cult. Now that would lead to some…interesting conversations.

What, no Scientology? At least, with them, you get to wait for the mothership!

I know…what about creating your own cult? I mean, really…with your wit, you’ve got to strike upon a great cult idea!

Yeah, but with Scientology, I utter one word against it and I’ll get sued!

Muahaha! Now I’ve got to decide if I should use my charisma to make you drink the Kool-aid…

OH YEAH!

Only if it’s fruit punch or cherry. There isn’t enough charisma in the world to get me to drink the orange or lime…or any other really funky flavor!

maybe you can whisper about Scientology…wait, nope…Tom Cruise is probably listening. I’m going to get sued.

nah, Tom Cruise is in the closet and he’s not coming out any time soon. He likes it in there, it’s cozy!

Back from the airport and on to the Vix question. My pedicurist swears by Vix Vaporub (or the generic cheaper stuff) as a night treatment for feet. She tells her clients to use a pumice stone, then slap the Vix on and cover with loose socks. I’ve actually started to enjoy the smells and it seems to work. I’ve also tried creams by Creative Designs that both work AND smell a little more socially acceptable. Try it and let me know what you think

I know that when you are sick it actually works better when you put it on your feet. Really!

Q: How did Frankenstein know he was built upside-down?

A: Because his feet smelled and his nose ran!

… Seriously folks. Vix on yer feet? This is madness!

It has more to to do with absorption than smelling it. Crazy huh.

I’ve used Vick’s on my feet when I’m sick, but not for smoothness.

I love, love, love my Ped-Egg. I use it then put on Curel foot lotion and socks. I abuse my feet by going barefoot all the time, and this has made such a huge difference.

@baseballnut You might want to try Amlactin cream. Availble over-the-counter and less stinky.
@cooksalot/BarbieM. Um….Respectfully, it is the smell that was supposed to do the work….so putting it on your feet when you are sick really wouldn’t help. Even so, they have now decided that it doesn’t even work as a nasal decongestant by inhaling the aroma of camphor and menthol anymore…...Vicks is no longer marketed as a decongestant.

OK….Looks like some people love the thing and others don’t…..I will have to look around the store tonight and see what else there is…...THANKS!!!

LOL! I just like the smell when I’m sick.

@cooks….OK that stuff smells ICKY! blech! blech! blech!
:)

Actually, I put it on my feet because it smells to strong for me if I put it on my chest. Believe me, I still smell it from my feet, as do my poor husband and cats.

So I did my biweekly Sunday visit to the pedicurist today and she thinks the whole reason Vix works is that it’s super-greasy and keeps the newly-exfoliated feet moist. She thinks Crisco would work just as well. I’m not even going to suggest to anyone here that they get in bed with Crisco….maybe I will switch to Creative Scentsations.

@baseball. I would agree w/ your pedicurist. Vaseline petroleum jelly would work just as well and be whole lot less stinky…..

I used it and it made my feet worse: rougher and just plain nasty….I threw it away. I use a foot cream made by Arbonne, and it works better than anything I have ever tried. ;)

Yes, I love it. It works and no mess.

The commercial made me feel a bit sick. My mom has one though.

its very good
i love it

I have one – I like it, but I prefer a pedicure. As for the Vicks debate – it does work. I find it works better than Vasoline – but it might just be a preference issue.
