Cheap steal: Copy of the Ped Egg

I always feel proud of myself whenever I get a cheap deal.

Not sure if you guys remember this product that used to come out during TV commercial breaks. It's called 'Ped Egg'. 

This is a picture to show you how it looks like if you have never seen it or forgotten how it looks. You can easily find this in some of the Guardian stores or 7-Eleven selling for like SGD$22.90.

I've seen some online shops selling it for like SGD$6.90 and SGD$4.90 but I think most of them are either imitations or a copy of the real thing.

Anyway, I got mine for only SGD$1.05. I should be awarded for getting such a cheap deal. This is even cheaper than those sold online.

Of course it looks different from the real Ped Egg but still it does the same functions. I bought this from the Value Dollar shop located at Causeway Point shopping center.

When you open up the package, these are the items inside. By the way, the two oval shaped black stuff you see at the left are emery papers which you used to further smooth your heel after the metal file.

Before your start using, you have to attach the metal part to the foot-shaped casing so that your dead skin can be captured with it. Its quite sturdy when the two parts are fixed together so you do not have to worry that they will come apart when you are using the product.

Please use this only when you are seated on a chair (or standing if you prefer) and not when you are lying down or sitting on the floor. The reason is because the metal part should always face upwards so that your dead skin will be caught in the casing and not flying around (think in terms of gravity law).

This is the amount of dead skin from my left foot. Please don't judge me base on this.

So anyway, the downside of this product is that you have to use a bit of force to separate the metal part from the casing. And there is also the worry of the inside contents flying out when you force open them.

But I rather that it is difficult to open up then the product coming off easily when I am using it. I can just open them up with a newspaper underneath to catch the fallouts, or open them in the sink and wash away the mess.

And also the metal part of this product is not curved like the Ped Egg but it still works fine for me.

Afterall, you can't expect 100%  goodness from a product that is 22 times cheaper than the real thing.
