As Seen on TV

AOII Angel · #1 01-12-2009, 11:32 AM

The best "As Seen on TV" product is the Ped Egg!!! I LOVE this product. It really is nothing more than a micrograter like I have for the kitchen, but for people with lots of dead skin build up on their heels, this is a miracle! Beware...use the product on dry skin only (if you soak first, it won't work) and put a paper towel on the floor (you will make a mountain of dead skin and the contraption does NOT catch it all as the makers imply!)

There are "As Seen on TV" stores in malls; and I know CVS has some of the smaller items.

I totally want the Bumpits and Strap-perfect, but I definitely want Smooth Away.

When I was in MS/HS they sold something similar at like Walgreen & such, and it worked great. Maybe i'll wait to see if Walgreens gets it, cause they sell a lot of "As seen on TV" stuff (like the pedi-cure, the green bags, sham-wows, etc)

That's interesting. It's hard to believe that it really works. If it does, I'd be interested. Lol--stuff like this is made for people like us.

The ones I used to use (I can't even remember the name) did work very well. I don't know about the whole "it exfoliates your legs and leaves them smooth" but it got the hair off.

The only problem I had was the fact that I have REALLY dry legs, so the pads would wear out more quickly b/c of all the dry skin it had to slosh off (lol).

I have sensitive skin and tried to use something like this a while back. I had a rash for days. The thing I got was just a strip of really fine sandpaper.

Me too. The hair comes off, but it's because you SANDED IT AWAY.

Double post, but does anyone own the Sham-Wow (the towels that are supposed to be super absorbent). I keep seeing the commercial, and i'm curious to know if they are really that good.

Saw them on display of the window at Bed Bath and Beyond tonight. I swear they have everything that is seen on tv, except the damn hair bumps!

I highly recommend the green bags for produce. They truly do extend the life of your fruits and vegetables, especially bananas. I love bananas but I usually have to buy a couple that are ripe, a couple that are half ripe and a couple that are green to get me through a whole week. The green bags are great for lettuce too. I immediately transfer the bagged salad I buy into those and it stays good much longer! I thought they were pricey but my neighbor gave me one to try and I was sold. I throw out so much less produce now that I think they pay for themselves.

I got about half the Sham-Wow pack from my dad the other week. I was so excited because for some reason, I buy a lot of clothes that are "hand wash only." So I figured, perfect! I can roll my shirts in the Sham-Wow and stop using up regular towels to absorb the extra water before I hang them to dry.

I would like to rename them the Sham-Eh. Maybe it's just me, but they're no more absorbent than my bath towels! And when you buy them brand new out of the pack, they smell horrible! Plus I've only thrown mine in the wash twice, and they're pretty much shriveled to half their original size. I have yet to try them in the kitchen - maybe they'll be better - but I'm not holding my breath.

Really? Yeah I can see how that can happen.

I have a friend who has them, and she loves it. Walgreens sells it (well i know my Walgreens has it) and it's cheaper than the infomercial.

I did something wrong, then, because I looked like my feets had been mauled by lions afterwards! Guess I didn't have enough callouses?

Anyhow, I do NOT recommend using this for the first time just prior to vacation.

My husband and I wondered if that thing really worked!
