Most people don't believe urine cures athlete's foot. A few people do, although those few people include Madonna (which I think ends up working better for the non-pee side). But no one has ever espoused the theory, that I know of, that urine somehow helps soften and/or shine up dry and scaly foot flesh... until now.

Because now the Japanese have created the FootPee! Pack. Basically, these are two foot-bags that you can pee into, and then stick your feet into. So they soak in pee. Your pee. Which might help them in some way. Also, some kind of lotion is involved, but frankly, I'm horrified enough that I don't need to know any more. "Easy & Surprise" indeed. (Via Tokyo Times)

You know I have a hard enough time peeing into the little cup at the doctor's office, I can't imagine trying it with a flexible plastic baggie.

At least they don't come with urine included.
Imagine a factory full of Japanese people, peeing into baggies for the ¥771.38 an hour.

Kerasol, an OTC foot cream, lists urea as an ingredient, so it's not so far-fetched. But I'm still not putting my feet in piss, mine or otherwise. Save it for your dentures.

It certainly will make you think twice about giving someone in Japan a flat tire.

I don't see anything on the package that would indicate that you pee in the bags. The first step just says to cut open the bag containing pre-packaged lotion with scissors. The second says to keep them in the lotion for 1 to 1 and a half hours, then rinse and dry them. The third gives a detailed description of how the skin will improve over the next several days, and that in about two weeks you should be done.
The name of the product is... unfortunate, but there's no actual pee involved. Unless that's the secret ingredient in the lotion...

I agree with Marissa. I've read the package and there is nothing on it to indicate that you pee in the shoe-like thingees. I think the the name is supposed to indicate its fun line whoopee kinda thing.

Hi, stop further remarks on this thing. It's clearly a miss print of 'peel', definitely not 'pee'. In Japan, they do have footcare packs peeling off horney layers of sole, but main ingredients in the packs are lactic acid from plants extract, not urine. It's really a shame for them to make such a printing mistake!

As someone who can read Japanese, I agree with everyone above who says this has nothing to do with peeing into a bag. You shouldn't fabricate stories based on an image if you can't understand the language. Pathetic

Well, gee... I wonder how non-Japanese speakers could have gotten the idea that pee was somehow involved... Hmmmmmm... could it be the big FOOT PEE PACK label? Just a guess.
We may not understand Japanese, but clearly the Japanese have no problem mangling English words for their own products.

I am American, I used many different brands of medical creams for the Athlete's foot and some how it got worst. One day I couldn't hold it any more and I peed in the shower and I have notice that my feet got better, and everytime I get the fungus again I pee on my feet and it does make it go away, it may not cure it but I can tell you it does a better job than the creams and powders. So I wait about a minute or two and wash the feet...

I can read Japanese.
While you don't actually pee into the bags (as other commenters have said), the ingredients list for the lotion does include both lactic acid (乳酸) and urea (尿素).
I'm pretty sure the name is supposed to be a bad pun on "Whoopee" (フッピー can be read both as "whoopee" and "foot pee"), but Japanese people aren't very good at making English puns.
That being said, urea is a pretty common ingredient in dermatological products. It does make your skin nice and soft!
