The MicroPedi - Does it really work?

Today I will be talking about something a little new and a little different. The MicroPedi is a new electronic handheld device for removing hard skin from the feet. I will admit, I am not a big fan of anything to do with feet, so I was a little dubious trying this product.

When I first opened the box, my first impressions were that it looked very like a ladyshave. There are two rollers contained in the box – the blue roller - for extra course skin, and the pink roller for course skin.

The Micropedi is such a strange sensation on your feet and not one that I would have expected. It is very gentle and feels like a tickling sensation – much gentler than I anticipated. You can only use it for 2- 3 seconds in each area, but boy does it work! I started out using the pink roller first and immediately I could see the dead skin coming off my feet (gross right? – but oddly satisfying), I then switched to the extra course blue roller for the harder skin on my heels, and even after the first time I used it, I could feel they were noticeably softer. I was very pleased with the results and with continued use, I will have baby soft feet in no time. When you are finished just pop out the rollers and rinse the head of the Micropedi under the tap.

This product comes with excellent easy to follow instructions – that even I could understand! The only disadvantage I would see is that the batteries are not included. When you tear open the box, all you want to do is use it and then searching for batteries (like a new toy on Christmas day!) is a minor inconvenience. That said, they are the standard size AA – so there should be some lying around in some old remote somewhere! Retailing at €39.95.
