Is the Ped Egg the ultimate foot file? Well, I think so!

I love having a nice fresh pedicure, but it’s increasingly difficult to find a place that meets my cleanliness standards. Before you all jump on me and say, “You know you can take your own tools, right?”

Yes, I know that I can take my own tools, but it’s just just the tools that leave me feeling queezy; it’s the uncleaned basins that make me wonder just how clean, or unclean some nail salons are. Also, working crazy hours means that I’m not always able to get to the nail salon when I want to.

So, the other night, I thought it would be a great idea to throw a movie on and give myself a pedi. I soaked my feet in very warm water and then used a pumice rock to exfoliate. I don’t know what happened, but my feet were worse off than when I started.  With sandle weather quickly approaching, I figured I’d better make a trip to Sally’s to purchase one of those foot-razor-thingies.

That’s what I did. I got up and went to Sally’s with the sole purpose of purchasing a foot-razor-thingy (no laughing – I don’t remember what they’re called, k?). Anyway, the sales assistant pointed me in the direction and then I noticed something else. I spotted the Checi Nickel Foot & Callus File; it came in medium and coarse and seemed to be a great alternative to the foot razor.

To tell the truth, I had been using the foot razor, until I cut myself really badly and threw it out. I must have been desperate to try it again, right? Yep, I was. I asked the sales assistant if she had heard any feedback on the Checi Nickel Foot & Callus File and she said that she had not heard anything, good or bad, but said, “Have you tried Ped Egg? Most of us here own one and love them.”

As she walked me to the front of the store, where the Ped Egg was on its own display, she added that you didn’t have to soak your feet to use it. As soon as she said that, I was pretty sure that I was going to give it a try. However, I still was a wee bit skeptical, because I had already gone through one of those, “As seen on TV” products and was less than impressed.

Nevertheless, I paid for my egg and ran home to give it a whirl.

No water? No soaking? Sounds good to me. I could barely get my socks off fast enough. I assembled my egg and started to swipe back and forth. My initial thoughts were that it was too easy and too good to be true. But, I kept swiping, back and forth.

After several minutes. OMG!! It works!!! It’s like magic. No hassle, no mess, no wet, dripping feet!
