Has anyone tried the Ped Egg?

Aurora · Marc Jacobs

I have one! I bought it a few months ago and have used it once. It feels like you are rubbing a cheese grater on your foot if you want me to be honest with you. I also found it "stirred" my feet up to the point that I just gave up, rubbed some lotion on, and put socks on to cover up the heels of my foot. I probably should try it again but I haven't gotten around to it yet.

I got one after the ladies in my office raved about it, but honestly I thought it was a total waste of money. It didn't do anything for me. I also agree with Aurora, it seemed to just make my feet worse, and I gave up.

My MIL raved about hers and made me try hers. I didn't see what the big deal was. She did say you have to use it a few times to get results, though, and I only used it once.

I've tried scrapers like that before (just without the egg-catcher thing). To me, non-professional tools in the hands of anyone else besides a professional will just never cut it. Plus, I would rather the thing not collect the scrapings. I'll do it either outside or vacuum after myself.

Scraping your feet is also really dangerous - I mean it's so easy to cut yourself accidentally. What's wrong with an old fashioned foot scrubber thingy (I forgot what it's called, rough surface) in the shower? I just scrub my feet occasionally while they're damp in the shower and pretty much never have a problem.

Yeah, I had a callous scraper until I cut a sizeable chunk out of my finger one day when I was trying to change the blade.

XtinaStyles · Marc Jacobs

I have it - It is pretty much like using a cheese grater on your feet but Ive never found it too be too rough or to cut me. Its basically like a callus wand but a lil tougher. It wears them down but then the surface is very uneven so you have to follow up with the smoother side, or use a pumice stone. Overall, I like it but I HATE how they make it look like the egg part traps in all the shavings bc it really DOES NOT. I get dead skin all over my floor when I use this. I think its good to have in the house "just in case" or if you want to save money and forego a pro pedicure.

Has anyone seen the ad where they use it on a balloon? No way the balloon wouldn't pop!

I'm so glad you posted this. I bought one 2 weeks ago, after hearing that it's the most amazing thing ever, and personally I think it sucks! I was expecting it to do wonders for my feet, and really it didn't do much. I am so disappointed and would definitely not recommend it.
