to be a bit horrified at the thought of a Ped Egg

[crazylizzy]

...and they way it shaves your foot

Even more so the fact you have to empty all the dead shaven skin out

I emptied mine (for I think it twas moi who started the original ped egg thread-that's hard to say )out of my roof window only for all the ashes to blow back in my face. That will teach me.

I hadn't heard of a Ped Egg until this thread

I opened the thread assuming it was something to do with paedophiles

oh morningpaper where have you beeeen??

I got one. It's ok but no way is it worth £9.99. It's no different to any other foot grater. (Grating hard skin turns my stomach too, but I make myself do it)

Doesn't it hurt though? My feet are terrible, but I'm a wimp for pain.

It does not hurt in the slightest. You are not shaving your feet. It feels the same as any foot file. But works miles better IMHO.

Well,I bought one after perusing the mn thread and have to say,its fab.It has transformed my manky feet.

wrinkly, me too. The horrible skin has stayed away too.

I just ordered one, on the strength of all this recommendation. It had better be good, or I'll come back here to complain.

Complaints are only accepted in writing.

Just bought one and I must admit I am somewhat surprised at the contents of the egg (keep having this urge to look inside half way through the grating session!). I really didnt know what to expect but it looks just like talcumn powder.

It doesn't really collect it in the egg though does it? I had to sweep up after I'd finished!

I am very pleased with the results and all for £3 on ebay.

Its fab, I love it.

Mine collects about 99% of the shavings. I do it over a towel that is about to be washed anyway, so anything that doesn't get caught goes into that and then shaken into the bin.

Ped eggs are rubbish! Wot a rip-off. You have to grate away for half an hour to get a tiny bit of dust.

why in the hell do you shave your feet?
omg!

MamaL - mine isnt actually a ped egg - its a copy from a market stall. Can you suggest anything that will do the same job but quicker as I agree it does take quite a while?

Dosent Boots sell something that you just soak your feet in and it just dissolves the hard skin away? Or am I imagining this? Anyone know?

Imho I think Newtons Foot Sponges are better.

(Usually sold in chemists for a couple of pounds) I think they do a quicker and better job. You use them in the bath when your feet are wet and the skin is softened, not on dry skin.

I've seen those Newton's foot sponges recommended all over the place, but can never find them in the shops.

They tend to be found in independant smaller chemists rather than big chains like Boots I've noticed.

I hold my feet over a bin to collec the excess shavings because PedEgg does not collect them all.

Tis great though. Even my DH is using it!

Another vote for chiropody sponges.

You just wet them, put soap on them, give your feet a quick rub and you've got a beautiful pair of newborn feet at the end of your legs, even if you can usually walk barefoot on gravel.
