Personal grounding kit - Standard
Our most portable grounding/earthing solution.An inexpensive and convenient way to get the benefits of an Earth connection while indoors. Can also be worn while sleeping (generally on the foot or ankle for sleep use).
This kit contains an elasticated fabric grounding band, a 6m (20ft) coiled cord, and the connection option of your choice. It comes in an organic natural cotton bag for convenient travelling.
The silver coated fabric band is lightweight, comfortable and hypoallergenic. The band is 2cm (3/4") wide. Its circumference is adjustable from 12cm up to 20cm (5" to 8") unstretched, and will stretch up to 36cm (14"). It should be worn on bare skin.
The conductive coating on the inside of the band connects to a snap stud on the outside to which the lightweight coiled cord connects. The cord is approximately 1.8m (6ft) long when unextended and stretches up to 6m (20ft). The cord is then connected to ground via the connection option of your choice.
Note: To adjust the band, you need to pull the fabric part firmly through the buckle. The buckle does not open.
Care instructions
The grounding bands may be gently hand washed occasionally in mild soapy water. Avoid over-washing, or using harsh detergents, such as those containing bleach, oxi-whitening agents, or strong fragrances (either chemical or essential oil based).
If in daily use, we recommend replacing grounding bands yearly to ensure optimal conductive function.

Connection for North America
The supplied cord fits directly into the 'Ground' pin of a North American type socket, used in Canada, the United States and Mexico. It can also be used in Central America, the Caribbean, northern South America (Colombia, Ecuador, Venezuela and parts of Brazil), Japan, Taiwan and Saudi Arabia.
Since it is not uncommon for sockets of this type to be missing an Earth connection, this connection option includes a socket tester to verify correct socket wiring. You only need 1 tester per household, so you can choose the "without connection plug" option if you order additional products.
Note that not all outlet sockets of this type have a 3rd pin for Ground. Sockets with only 2 pins cannot be used for grounding, and so a grounding rod must be used instead.

UK: Bahrain, Bangladesh, Botswana, Brunei, Cyprus, Ghana, Gibraltar, Hong Kong, Iraq, Ireland, Jordan, Kenya, Kuwait, Macau, Malawi, Malaysia, Malta, Mauritius, Nigeria, Oman, Pakistan, Qatar, Singapore, Sri Lanka, Tanzania, UAE, Uganda, United Kingdom, Yemen, Zambia and Zimbabwe.
US: United States, Canada, Mexico, Central America, the Caribbean, northern South America (Colombia, Ecuador, Venezuela and parts of Brazil), Japan, Taiwan and Saudi Arabia.

Australasia: Australia, New Zealand, Fiji, Argentina and Papua New Guinea.
Switzerland, Italy, Brazil and USA.
If you have any doubt about whether your mains system is properly earthed, and especially when travelling, we advise using a socket tester to check. The Socket tester (Europe) can be used with this adapter set to test any socket.
Grounding rod kit
If you don't have a properly earthed mains outlet (for example some European houses or a pre-1960s house in the United States), then you can instead use a grounding rod kit to make a connection directly with the ground outside.
The kit consists of a 0.3m (1ft) stainless steel rod with a 12m (40ft) cord. The rod is pushed into the ground outside, which makes a good electrical connection to the Earth. The cord is only 2mm in diameter so it can usually be run through the edge of a window frame with the window closed.
