Personal grounding kit
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. 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.
There are three different types of grounding band available:
| Type | Colour | Width | Circumference range (unstretched) | Circumference (fully stretched) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Standard | Blue | 2cm (3/4") |
12cm to 20cm (5" to 8") |
36cm (14") |
| Wide | Orange | 6cm (2") |
15cm to 25cm (6" to 10") |
30cm (12") |
| Long | Orange | 6cm (2") |
30cm to 55cm (12" to 22") |
80cm (32") |
The Standard band is the most lightweight option. The Wide and Long bands are wider and include a stainless steel plate on the inside of the buckle, for improved conductivity.

Washing and care instructions
It is good to wash your Earthing product. It will not be harmed by washing, in fact it is beneficial. Washing strips body sweat and natural skin oils from the silver keeping it conductive.
DOs
Wash every week or two if in daily use
Wash in a washing machine with warm water (40°C / 105°F)
Use a liquid laundry detergent
Line dry or dry in a dryer on low (up to 65°C / 150°F)
DON'Ts
Don't wash with bleach
Don't wash with fabric softeners
Don't use whitening detergents, oxi-detergents OR detergents with oils like lavender or coconut oil
Don't use dryer sheet fabric softeners
Don't dry clean
Bleach, lotions and oils can tarnish the silver rendering it non conductive. Fabric softener builds up on the silver and also ruins its conductive properties.
It is advised to wait one hour to use the product after applying lotion to the skin.

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.
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.

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.
