What is it? A foot file for self-pedicure.

Rating: Works As Advertised

The Ped Egg is made of plastic with a metal insert resembling a fine cheese grater. It’s about the size of a bar of soap and very simple in design. It is comprised of three main parts: 1) the lid, which serves as a container to catch “shavings”, 2) the blades which snap into the lid, and 3) the base which is used both to store the lid and blades when not in use and features an emery pad sticker on the bottom for finishing.

Major Claims:

Over 135 Precision Micro Files – This is true. The blades work in two directions along a single line parallel to the length of the product.

Safe to the Touch – Running ones fingers across the blade wasn’t hazardous, although you can feel the sharp edges of the blades. In use, greater pressure equates to a deeper cutting action. The instructions caution against too much pressure and to stop in the event of irritation or pain.

Ergonomic Design – It fits in the hand easily like a bar of soap. .

Traps Shavings – No Mess. Partly true. It traps most of the shavings, but does not prevent some of them from escaping and falling to the floor (as shown in the ASOTVI video). When holding the product with blades facing up and allowing gravity to take them down into the lid container, it catches them just fine. But when the product is held vertically, shavings are allowed to fall away and are not caught by the product. It might be wise to still use this product in a dry bath or shower, where any shavings that are not caught can easily be washed away. Otherwise, there will be vacuuming to do after use.
