Review: DAYUM!!! IT WORKS!!
Beauty product: 5 Stars
After shredding the heels of yet another pair of panty-hose I finally surrendered and went out and bought a Ped Egg. I figured that for $9.99 it's almost as cheap as another pair of pantyhose, and if it's as good as they say it is, it might save me from ripping up a few dozen more pairs in the long run.
How it works: The Ped Egg is shaped like an egg that's flattened on one side and it's about four inches long, small enough to fit into any purse. The round side fits comfortably into the palm of your hand. The flat side -- the business side -- looks like a mini cheese-grater and works on pretty much on the same principle. Rub it over your heels and the graters pulverize the dry skin painlessly into so much powder. The powder is trapped inside the Ped Egg, but as you change its position on your feet while you use it, some of the dust will fall out through the holes, so put a towel or a paper towel or a newspaper under your foot to catch any residue. The Ped Egg comes with two oval-shaped emery pads to rub over your feet after you finish using it. (The emery pads have an adhesive backing to adhere to the bottom cover of the Ped Egg.) Slather on a lot of lotion at the end, and your heels will feel softer than a baby's butt. No kidding -- this thing really does work.
Once you've got your feet in shape with the Ped Egg, weekly maintenance (or twice a week in cold, dry weather when cracked heels are endemic) should be all that's required. Unless you've got actual scales on your feet, using it every day shouldn't be necessary. You can buy replacement emery pads, but actually any emery block that you pick up for a dollar in the nail care section of your local drugstore should work just as well. One caveat: I've read some reviews that said people have tried the Ped Egg to smooth their elbows. If I were you, I wouldn't. The skin on your elbows is much thinner than the skin on the soles of your feet and your heels, and abrading your elbows with a Ped Egg blade could be painful at best and possibly do some serious scarring. You can try rubbing the emery pad over your elbows; I did this, and it worked fine. Just don't overdo it on the elbow grease (pun intended) or you'll wind up with some sore elbows. And slather on the lotion afterwards.
With normal use (two or three times a week), the Ped Egg blade should last you from six to eight weeks. The replacement blades come three to a pack, and unlike the Ped Egg, the replacement blade box gives instructions on how to remove the blade to empty the egg and/or replace a new blade: hold the top cover by the sides while you squeeze the blade cartridge on both ends, and pop out the cartridge one end at a time. After a few tries you get the hang of it.
All in all, the Ped Egg is a great little gizmo that lives up to expectations. I expect to save a minor fortune on panty-hose.

Review: DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY!
Beauty product: 1 Stars
I saw this advertised and thought what a great way to save money on pedicures!!! WOW!! Was I ever WRONG??!!! This product is a BIG waste of money!!! It made my heels look terrible. I had to put so much lotion on them to try and heal the roughness that it caused. PLEASE DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THIS PRODUCT!!!! INFOMERCIAL IS SO DECEIVING!!!! Review: Did Most of What it Said it Would
Beauty product: 3 Stars
I haven't had a pedicure in months and the bottom of my feet were very rough. I used the ped egg and it took all of the dead, dry skin away. It made my feet so much smoother.
The only thing that I did not like was that the shavings fell out of the Ped Egg during the shaving process. The shavings were all over my floor and comforter (I was sitting on my bed during the process). I shaved the way the directions instructed me to, but the shavings still managed to fall all over the floor.
Other than that, I thought the Ped Egg worked very well.
Review: Disappointed with Ped Egg
Beauty product: 2 Stars
I saw the Ped Egg on an infomercial and it looked like a neat concept. I searched for it on Amazon.com and purchased it. When it arrived I was eager to try it right away. While I was using it I noticed that some of the dry skin was going on the floor rather than into the Ped Egg container. When I finished filing my calluses I held the Ped Egg over the garbage pail. It was extremely difficult to open because it was on so tight that when it finally opened it flew out of my hands and the dry skin went all over the floor. What a mess! The Ped Egg does do a good job of removing the calluses but then again so does any callus file. The reason I bought the Ped Egg was to eliminate the mess of filing calluses and it did not do that. Sometimes things are just too good to be true.
Fortunately for me, Get Organized, the company I bought it from refunded my money and said I could keep the Ped Egg or discard it.

Consumer beware and save your money. The Ped Egg leaves the skin rougher than before use!!!
