Buy It And Try It: The Ped Egg

The Ped Egg claims to be like having a spa treatment in your home, so
let's see if that's true.

Linda Robertson of Sacramento is on her feet a lot, and it's taken its toll.

"My feet get very rough, if I wear nylons, they snag," she said.

Callouses form and make the situation worse. To get rid of them… "I
use a pumice stone, sometimes a hard file, sometimes a lotion."

Pedicures are too time consuming and expensive for her. Enter the Ped Egg.

The Ped Egg says it gently smoothes your feet while being easy to use.

"It looks like a cheese grater," she laughed. She's concerned it's
going to cut up her feet.

You're just supposed to gently slide it back and forth over the dead
skin. You can see the dry skin flying off her foot, and after a few
minutes, it's very smooth.

And, there's no pain. The Ped Egg collected a large amount of dead
skin, which Linda dumps into the trash.

"I would tell them it works, and it's worth the money," Linda said.

I paid $10 plus shipping and handling, and bought it online.
