I ran into the dollar store yesterday and passed this in one of the aisles. I need somebody to explain this to me.
No more “bending to clean your feet”? What in the foot car wash hell is this?
**Use of the word lazy has been edited as many folks have now explained the value of this product. Thank you all for enlightening me. Happy Friday. -The Management
Okay, allow me to look at it from this perspective…
My grandmother, who lives in a nursing home, needs assistance to bathe. So I am sure something like this would give her a little freedom in the shower so she doesn’t have to ask someone to wash her feet. And the built in pumice stone would even allow her to feel that she was getting a little pampering.
See…now you’re gonna make me feel guilty for saying WHAT THE FUDGE?!?!? LOL
Sixty, you mean you haven’t seen the commercial yet?
Well allow me: https://www.buyeasyfeet.com/Index.dtm
Enjoy!!
Who knew? WOW!
Yes, you’re late. That commercial runs all of the time!
Man, I’m late too! I’ve never seen these in store or heard the commercial. Wow!
Me either! LMAO
LOL! My six year old begs for these.
My boys (and their lazy bathing selves) would love this. Ha ha ha ha!
I was going to comment that you might appreciate this when you are 80, but I see someone beat me to it. And, yeah…I think you should re-think the sensitivity factor. Just sayin’…
Leah, I passed it on a shelf and could not fathom for the life of me what they were for. After reading Babs’ comment, I can absolutely see them being useful to an elderly person or anyone with a disability that might hamper their range of motion.
However, I also don’t see a use for the snuggie, pajama jeans, chia pets or any number of items sold on infomercials despite them selling millions.
I don’t think questioning a product’s usefulness (especially one that I have never seen before) makes me insensitive to someone’s needs but thank you for also pointing it out and like I said, I can totally now see that there is a market for it.
This was more of a “what the hell is this and what does this do?” type of post.
Leah…I saw on your blog today you made the statement that “you love idiots”. Don’t be alarmed, I am not going to ask you to re-think the sensitivity. I see the humor in what you’re writing and understand that you had no malicious intent against idiots…some of whom are my closest friends (and family).
Foot car wash!?!?! ROFL!!!!!!!!
Sorry. It’s kinda creepy to me. Just like pajama jeans.
P.S. That doesn’t look like an elderly foot, so I would NOT have made that connection. I totally understand where you were coming from. lol
pajama jeans, smh.
The irony is the fact that they modelled a “skinny” foot as if the product is generally needed by the masses. lol. 100% a HOTT mess! lol.
Babs has a valid point but I don’t think many elderly persons would have the motor skills and strength to use that…my 90 year old grandfather can bathe and do other tasks himself…his feet need extra attention but I can’t see him using that properly I think you’d still need to apply enough pressure to get the pumice stone to work and slide your feet back and forth with out sending the shoe flying…I am clearly overanalyzying…I guess its better than nothing though. I haven’t seen the commercial though….I guess I need to see it in action…It gets a wth from me:)
I had the exact same sentiments. I didn’t think about the uses of them for the elderly and/or disabled, but I surmised they would be convenient to use as shower shoes in dorms, etc. *shrugs* Idk, lol.
Saw this in the store today and chuckled. And I came up with another use- pregnant women! I could barely shave my legs at nince months, let alone wash my feet. Fortunately for me, I just went and got pedicures when my feet need attention.
