I want to poop through my feet. Yes, seriously, I do. Not the mamby-pamby pads you stick to the soles of your feet, but a big, hearty, detoxifying dump in a foot bath. You’ll have to wait for the Ugly to see the pictures!
THE GOOD
1. Being told by hubby, “Sure I’ll watch Pearl!”, so I could sneak away for a pedicure and detoxifying foot bath.
2. Having a gift certificate for treatment at a local salon.
3. Having a salon customer cancel, and I fill their spot immediately!
4. Looking cute in my new Isaac Mizrahi plaid Target dress on sale for $17.99.
THE BAD
1. Being told I can’t have the ionic foot bath because I’m pregnant. (I’m NOT pregnant!)
2. Crotchety Mildred taking an hour per foot on my pedicure, and running out of time before applying paint!
3. Not being given a towel for my lap, thus giving the salon an upskirt show.
4. Not having a private room to foot-poop in privacy.
THE UGLY
1. What came out of my feet.
I think, technically, I only peed through my feet.
2. What has come out of other people’s feet!
These are some hearty foot dumps!
• Have you pooped through your feet?
• Would you poop through your feet?

Wow…pooping through my feet. Can’t say I’ve ever done that. Never had a pedicure or any kind of foot bath in my life. Interesting, and kinda gross, and yet fascinating!

Hi Tina! Thanks for visiting.
I was fascinated by foot detox too, but sure wouldn’t want to do it with a salon full of women again. LOL!
Pedis are a nice treat.

Wow, I get a pedicure about every 3 weeks….my feet have never pooped, nor even peed as far as I know. I’m not sure I want to go to the same spa you do; is this real….what kind of chemicals do they use to get this kind of result? The only thing I’ve ever wanted to do is learn to speak Vietnamese, so I can understand the spa gals conversations, lol!!
Comment By: Jean Has Been Shopping
August 8th, 2010 at 6:56 pm
LOL, Deb! Your feet might be peeing!
I never returned to this spa, and can’t recall what additives they put in the water. I’ve heard this could be a hoax.
Boy what I wouldn’t give to understand what they are saying. 🙂

Ok..
You HAVE to explain this too me because either I’ve had too much coffee ( well, that’s a given ) .. or it’s WAY too early in the morning ( nah.. 2:30am is normal).. or I am SO WAY OUT OF TOUCH with anything having to do with being a women except when it has to do with hair dye and shoes… and well, other things but THIS is not one of them!!
What the HELL, Jean!!!!

Leese, it’s not really a girly/pampering type of treatment, but a type of detox. Here is a definition I googled because the science of it is over my head.
“The ionic detox foot bath consists of a tub where you can place your feet in water as well as a part that uses osmosis or electrolysis to break some of the water into positive and negative ions.
The ionizer array is placed in the water with added sea salt and this produces a mild electric current. Metals within the array in combination with water and added sea salt generate positively and negatively charged ions.
The negative ions are then absorbed into your skin and travel through your body attracting positively charged toxic ions (toxins are supposedly positively charged) to them and encouraging natural detoxification of the body by osmosis. The toxins are neutralized because they are attracted by the highly-concentrated ion field in the ionic detox foot bath water. These toxins are then released back into the foot bath water via the thousands of pores that you have under your feet.”

Tony, your comment was being held hostage!
Yes, I should have hooked her and saved myself the displeasure of spending one extra moment or one red cent in her establishment. At least I left her a dirty foot bath to tend to. 🙂

My sister told me about this treatment a few years ago. When I saw it being offered locally, I HAD to try it! Didn’t get the gnarly results I was hoping for.

Hi Lynn. I’ve had pedis too, and no toxins have slipped out during them… that I know of. This was a detox procedure with sea salts and and an ionizer.

Holy detox! I have seen those before and they never cease to amaze me. Ewwww is all I have to say. Do you feel a difference now that you’ve done it? I’ve always wanted to try one of those.

Wow, I never thought those foot detoxifying thingys worked! Again, you stun me with your unending knowledge of things one would never normally think about.
I’m going to try that foot detox thing, but some of those pics looked like those people actually pooped in thier foot tubs! Wholly schmooly

Hi Sherri!
I’m not sure if the foot detox does work. There are some videos on youtube showing how this effect can be achieved without anyone’s feet in the water.
I’m not sure if those disposable foot pads are different, i.e. more reliable.
Yeah, some of the results were nasty!
Comment By: Sherri
August 11th, 2010 at 7:36 pm
yeah, after I read your blog I did a little research myself on the subject. I didn’t wanna ruin your foot poop for ya, but as always you are one step ahead… 🙂

The pics, are quite disturbing… i enjoyed the science lesson above…. i reckon that if that comes out of the feet, what would come outta the rest of us ! and would you feel better from it??
5 years ago in Vegas they had those Oxygen bars, with different flavours, is that still popular? Does that work for detox ?
All the best Gareth

Hi Gareth!
I just saw an oxygen bar in Vegas yesterday! So funny you should mention it. That’s also on my to-do list.

I have never had a pedi, and have only had two mani’s my entire life.
I don’t think I’ll be pooping through my feet. I did some research on this and it appears to be a quack. Something about impurities can’t come out of your feet, that is what your liver and kidneys do. Maybe pooping through your feet is for those who don’t like to detox the old fashioned way. LOL
Either way, I’m sure it was relaxing as long as you didn’t look down at the foot bath. Yuck!

Hi Tammy – It does appear to be quackery, huh? When I was googling to find the science behind it, I saw a lot of sites saying it is a scam. That’s too bad because it wasn’t cheap. I wonder if the salon is still offering it. I never returned.
Yes, it was great to get out of the house for a bit anyway. LOL!
