I have the nastiest heels ever. I used it for the first time and it is incredible! My heels look like they belong on a human instead of some sort of alien/goat/alligator hybrid. :bow: Ped Egg!
http://www.pedegg.com/creamindex.html?directLoad&uid=E2C3C140931EFBC297B63F04A4C1121F
I found mine at Walmart instead of ordering it from TV though.
-
A friend of mine swears by hers!
I keep forgetting to pick one up......she got hers at WalMart a month or so ago and loves it.
She's also the one who told me to use Monistat cream (yep, that stuff) on badly cracked heels.
I was having a problem with almost the entire bottom of my feet.....I thought it was just cause it was so dry during the winter. I felt like I was snagging the sheets they were so rough. And lotion wasn't making a difference. :o
Anyhow, bought the stuff and used it 3-4 times.....went and got a pedicure and the guy used one of those razor thingies on my heel....my feet are back to normal.
It's a type of fungus.....almost like athlete's foot. She said her feet actually were cracking....her's have cleared up too.
Just buy the Walmart brand.....it's cheaper than the label brand. ...The one I bought is Equate...miconazole 7 dose treatment cream (can't remember if that's the Walmart or Kmart brand)...but you want it in the tube...not the pre-packaged doses. It's also cheaper than the stuff made for "women's athlete's foot" ::)
A little bit will cover the whole bottom of your foot, then put a pair of socks on.....I used it before going to bed....you will notice a difference after the first time.
-
I have never seen that before.... I may have to get one myself.
-
okay, I live in a small town....can see the rumors now about the incredible crotch rot I must have to be buying massive tubes of that stuff :rotf:
-
I cringe everytime I see the PedEgg commercial. It looks like you are grating your heels, which I guess is the point. But it seems painful to me.
-
ok, i havent heard of that before.. but i gave up cheap flip flops and that helped immensely. i cant tell you why, but i think a good vitamin helps.
and monistat for cracked heels??? wild.. :-)
-
checking in and checking out.

I have one.....works well.....they are not just for "girls" :-)
-
I've seen them at the local CVS, I thought about getting one.
I religiously use a pumice stone on my feet during my showers.

Very true. Guys get callouses and they hurt -- they also snag socks, etc.
A few minutes with that pedi-egg works like a champ.
WARNING: It does NOT keep the callous dust inside the unit -- when I use it there is a cloud of dust over my foot. Take it outside.
-
I used it outside as well. The ground was covered in white gross foot particles. The egg was also half filled with gross foot particles too though. I think you are supposed to hold it kinda right side up to keep the stuff in. I just went crazy with mine though, damn the consequences! My BFF's hubby uses it too, however I must disclose that he also wears crocs. :gay2:

OMG! On another board I belong to (but hardly ever visit any more) there is a 47 page thread entitled "the ped egg makes me puke". BWAHAHAHAHA!!!!
I hate feet. I don't let anyone touch mine. Forget a professional pedicure. I do my own. I'm also pretty obsessed with having smooth, nice feet and painted pretty nails since the ones I see in public gross me out!! I'm just completely disgusted by feet for some reason. Especially unkempt feet. Sorery!
This is one of those train wreck subjects for me. I can't look but I also have to at the same time! I think the ped egg is disgusting. But I own one.
*runs!

I LOVE mine. I take good care of my feet with a pumice stone, lotion, etc. but after I used the PedEgg for the first time, my feet were sooooo smooth I even made my husband touch them to see, which is a big deal because NO ONE touches my feet, ever. I was skeptical at first but it really does work.

I know it sounds ghey, but you haven't lived until you have had a pedicure (while getting an arm and shoulder massage makes it Heaven!) When you travel as much as I do, you need to pamper yourself if you have longer layovers.
And I think feet are disgusting, also. Mrs. FD doesn't understand why I don't like to touch her feet -- I will rub them if she is in real pain, but she knows I hate it.

Massages are one thing. I love massages. But pedicures? Nope. I've tried numerous times. I even went to a relative's salon and had her do it. Still can't stomach it. Manicures are just fine. But I don't spend the money on them anymore since I'm pretty good at doing it myself. I also have gotten pretty good at pedicures. I'll pass on soaking in the foot soup bowls in the salon though. There isn't enough Scrubbing Bubbles in the world or enough time in an autoclave that can kill my squeamishness.
My SIL is a massage therapist. I love when she visits!

Might have to try one of those out!!

I am particular about both hands and feet also. I do my own as well. I share your issues dear, Dixie. Imagine that! Us short peeps and our issues. :cheersmate: :-)

I used to be on my feet for 16 or more hours, often wearing not so comfortable slip resistant resturant shoes. (Do you want to not fall on your butt, or do you want comfort, it's hard to find both in those shoes, even the expensive ones)
Calouses would often crack on the side of my heal....then your day at work gets really long...my feet would be so sensative, I would not let anyone touch them....then when herniated back disc flared up....bottoms of arches were very painful if touched...but that is getting better now....
Now living here in a more dry climate, I still have to pay attention to my feet, plus I love to take long walks.
I don't mind rubbing someone's feet....usually with a sock still on....but if I really like the person I go all out :)

how can you NOT love a pedicure?? :mental:
God sent us tiny Asian women to rub our feet .. its his little gift to us! :-)

Heck , Even I get that thick dead skin on the soles and heels of my feet.....
Course I use a orbital sander loaded with 200 grit paper to remove it. :-)

I love pedicures! I said I give them to myself. I cannot stand for someone else to do it. And, I can't stand nail salons. I've seen too many disgusting feet go into those little chairs with the jacuzzi at the end :-) Not enough scrubbing bubbles in the world nor enough sterlization for those instruments. Even if I brought my own tools, the thought of another person working on my feet ooges me out! I'm pretty good at doing it myself now since I've been at it for over a decade. In fact, my friends beg me to do theirs. Yeah, that'll happen! :-)

I have actually heard of more then one "nail shop owner" say that the Asians put them out of biz....
I think it's just more of a competition thing....the Asian shops on every corner just made it more affordable for those that never had used the services in the past....it's all good.

yeah, i hear ya on the footbath basins. they put this blue powder stuff in the scalding hot water here to rinse out the last person's stuff... and the Asian ladies here all wear latex gloves. as for the tools, yeah, those are a death trap :-)
as for the massage though.. i might be pretty good at that, but it never feels as good as when someone else does it. :beer:
now, 'ooges me out' is a new term to me... i think i shall steal it. :popcorn:

my husband has this idea that there is some nail salon monopoly somewhere that only hires asian women and sends them around the country to staff the places. here it's like Starbucks, every strip mall has a nail place..
-
I guess I don't understand this thing with you ladies.
My wife is always going to the pedicure, manicure, lip wax bikini wax, etc.
She's paying people to do this.
Why?
I have a belt sander, duct tape and a hot glue gun. We could save a lot of $$.
hey, we're doing our part to keep this economy rolling :-)
-
Another trick: use that vaporub stuff (Vicks or generic) on your toenails if they are brittle and hard to clip. It softens the nails. I have no idea why. I suppose it would work on fingernails, too.

my MIL told me Vick's Vapo Rub will also quiet a cough if you rub it on the soles of your feet at night, put on socks, and crawl into bed.
i havent ever tried it, so who knows.... but apparently vapo rub has many more uses than we know.. :-)
-
Or at least below the ankles too! :-)

I think your husband might be right!
I know my mother found the Asians take alot of short cuts, so she went back to a lady that is five bucks more expensive that she can understand!
-
Vicks VapoRub is best kept above the waist.
Don't ask me how I know this.
i hated that stuff as a kid... my mom would leave it about an inch think on my little chest. i swear to God, I though it would burn a hole thru me at times... i'm pretty sure i've never seen it again since I left home :-)

they are definitely cheap. all the white people around seattle are 200% more, but the servies and spar are plush. i'm not going to spend 90 bucks no matter how good the foot/leg/hand massage is! i'll take listening to that terrible sounding language for 30 minutes so i can do it every week. :-)

I can think of alot of things small Asian women would be good for........none of which involve pedicures.

Oh God, speaking of that AND feet at the same time....(Stop reading here if you're easily grossed out.)
I developed a fungus on one of my toenails for the first time in my life. I've seen worse, but this is ugly, thick and trying to curl up so much it hurts. I was told that Vick's Vapo Rub is a great toenail fungus remedy. I went to the store to buy it and chickened out for the paint-on stuff. If the store-brand stuff doesn't work, does anyone have experience with Vicks for that purpose?
-
Came to this thread late, but I own one myself and they are the greatest thing since sliced bread.
My heels are GORGEOUS! ;)

I have ACTUALLY used a belt sander on my feet. It has the little button that will lock it to the "on" position. One MUST exercise a little caution when using it. Worked like a champ for me !!! Who NEEDS a PedEgg?? :rotf: :rotf:
-
Now they have one just for men!

I purchased one a couple of weeks ago. I love it!
And because of me, I've had like 3 or 4 friends buy one too.

-
I used mine yesterday. I find that my left foot gives off about 50% more dust than my right foot. I think it has something to do with the fact that I am right handed. I think that should be a federally funded research project.

You should be able to get at least a couple hundred thousand for a year of research. :-)

I can happily report that I finally got around to taking the advice of monistat crean and the PedEgg for cracked painful heels. Took about one week but now I have new feet and I am :blowkiss:
-
After reading this thread, I'm going to go to the closest Wal-Mart and get one of those ped eggs. It will be a lot cheaper than a pedicure. Thanks, everyone, for the endorsements.
