Woop, Ive just been into town and bought mine - will update tomoro.. how sad it is when this is going to be the highlight of my evening, that and watching Ugly Betty recorded from last night!

smellymel · 25/06/2009 14:14

ebay has one on a buy it now for 99p with £1.35 postage. bargain!

The skin shavings come in very handy when you're out of parmesan.

Reporting back.

Mine arrived this morning, and as I thought, it did indeed give me the shivers but I persevered and I'm fairly impressed. I wouldn't call it miraculous just yet, I probably need a few more goes, but there is a definite improvement in my heels.

Not bad at all for £2.59 for the Ped Egg plus a free gift of some weird sandpaper for your legs buffer gizmo.

FFM reporting back....
I've come home and tried it, and then lavished my little trotters with Boots Intensive Foot Cream, wooo, what a difference. Why havent I tried the Ped Egg before? Highly recommended! Yay. Sparkly sandals here I come. Oh yes, one thing, I did find the erm parmesan shavings still managed to go all over the floor as well as in the egg. Maybe it was just overload....!

Tidey · 25/06/2009 17:03

FFM, my shavings managed to escape onto the floor as well. I'm not sure if I was being too enthusiastic, using it wrong, or if I just have revoltingly large amounts of dry skin. Eww.

Everyone was raving about these in the staffroom yesterday. The thought of them really makes me feel queasy. I was so glad I'd already finished my lunch.

mrsmaidamess · 25/06/2009 17:27

hocus, don't knock it till you've tried it

It's also the word 'egg'. A food word used for the production of foot shavings. It's not pretty.

I just got a Scholl contoured hard skin file today and its bliss.

Hulababy · 25/06/2009 18:49

I am hoping they are as good as people say on this thread. Have just ordered a pink one for me and a white one for DH, who has also been complaining since he started wearing his Birkinstocks again this summer.

mrsmaidamess · 25/06/2009 19:27

Ooh, his n'hers!

Hulababy · 25/06/2009 20:25

shhhh · 25/06/2009 20:52

SoupDragon · 27/06/2009 19:02

My Ebay version arrived today. the grater may not burst a balloon but the plastic packaging has sliced a chunk out of my finger!

I also bought one for a friend... do you think she'll be offended?

TwoToTango · 27/06/2009 19:21

Had been wondering if they were as good as they looked - have just bought one from Amazon - £3.75 with free delivery.

Lilyloo · 27/06/2009 19:35

laumiere · 27/06/2009 20:28

Thanks MrsM it's fabby , my toes are really smooth

triffictits · 30/06/2009 22:05

MrsM, you have a lot to answer for....I genuinely can't wait until Saturday when I can get to Boots and buy one of these!

I dont have cracked heels, but they are very dry and white skin if you know what i mean. I have tried everything and nothing works so I am hoping that this is the miracle
