Reduce mucus and inflammation...
Barefoot on the beach, indoors. A red pin in your outlet's ground hole, a long cord to the bed, and woven copper against bare skin - a belt for the torso and a band for the ankle. Nothing powered.
For people who want both wearables in one box. Waist 20-26 in, ankle 8-10 in. Measure the belly button relaxed and the ankle just above the joint.
- Both Wearables
- Made to Size
- Woven Copper
- Y-Connector Included
- Replaceable Parts
- No Batteries
- No Wall Power
- No Electronics
Why people use it
- Barefoot on grass, indoors. Walking the beach barefoot and clipping a copper band to your house ground are the same idea. This is the version you can do while you sleep.
- Two wearables, one connection. The belt is the large-contact option most people sleep in. The ankle band is the small one for daytime, for a specific spot, or for nights the belt is awkward. The Y-connector serves whichever one you have on.
- What the research has looked at. Published earthing research has measured overnight cortisol rhythm, sleep, pain, mood, blood viscosity and inflammation markers. It supports the body's normal overnight cortisol rhythm, a calmer mood during rest, and normal blood flow. The trials are small and early; all four are in the research drop-down with what each one measured.
- One connection, and it has to be real. The whole kit depends on the outlet's ground actually reaching a ground rod. Test it with a plug-in checker before the first night, and have an electrician confirm it in an older house.
- Built to be re-smoothed, not thrown out. Pinch the copper between your fingers and draw it end to end after each use. Josh gets two to three years out of a band that way.
What's in the box
Five parts. Each one is sold separately as a replacement, so a worn belt does not mean a new kit.
| Part | What it does |
|---|---|
| Red pin wire | A single pin that seats in the lower round grounding hole of a properly wired outlet. Nothing goes in the flat hot or neutral slots. |
| Long black cord | Carries the connection from the outlet across the room to wherever you rest. |
| Y-connector | Splits into two legs that snap onto the two ends of one copper band. It seats one way only. |
| Woven copper waist belt | The large-contact wearable, made to the waist size you order. This is the one most people sleep in. |
| Woven copper ankle or wrist band | The small-contact wearable, 7 to 10 inches. For daytime, for spot placement, or for nights the belt is awkward. |
Only one wearable is connected at a time - the Y-connector serves whichever band is in use. Every part is sold on its own when it wears out: waist belt, ankle or wrist band, red pin wire.
How to use
- Measure at the belly button, completely relaxed, without pulling in. Order that size. Measure the ankle just above the joint for the second size.
- Test the outlet with a plug-in ground checker before the first use. In an older house, have an electrician confirm it.
- Seat the red pin in the lower round grounding hole only. Run the black cord to where you will rest.
- Snap the Y-connector onto both ends of the copper band. It only goes on one way. Copper has to touch bare skin, not clothing. Use one ground source at a time.
- Most people wear the belt overnight and keep the ankle band for daytime. A conductive band worn higher on the body comes off before sleep.
- After each use, pinch the band and draw it through your fingers end to end. It keeps burrs from forming and roughly doubles how long the copper lasts. Unplug the pin wire when a storm is coming.
Sourcing & making
Copper bands are woven and made to the size you order rather than cut from a one-size roll. The red pin wire replaced an earlier molded plug because customers kept assuming a plug carried power; the bare pin makes it obvious that only the ground contact is used. Kits are assembled to order in Conway, Arkansas.
Who it's for — and who it isn't
Good fit for:
- People starting grounding indoors who want both the belt and the ankle band rather than choosing one
- Side sleepers and anyone who has found a waist belt uncomfortable overnight and wants a second option in the same kit
- Practitioners who want to try a grounding accessory with clients and be able to swap the contact point
Probably not for you if:
- You cannot confirm the outlet is grounded. An electrician's check comes before the first night, not after.
- You have a pacemaker, implantable defibrillator, insulin pump, or another implanted or powered device, unless your cardiologist or the manufacturer clears it first.
- You want a medical device. This is a wellness accessory for comfort and rest, not a treatment for any condition.
- Copper against skin has irritated you before.
Setup in five steps
- Test the outlet. A plug-in ground checker costs less than lunch. In an older house, have an electrician confirm the ground before you use the kit at all.
- Seat the red pin in the lower round hole of the outlet - the round one, not either flat slot.
- Run the black cord to the bed or chair. Route it where it will not be walked on, pinched under a frame, or pulled taut.
- Snap the Y-connector onto both ends of the copper band. It seats one way only.
- Put the band on so copper meets bare skin, not clothing. Smooth the strands through your fingers when you take it off.
The research behind the ingredients
Published research on the ingredients in this product, for education. These studies were not conducted on this product.
Copper waist belt and copper ankle/bracelet in direct skin contact, connected to the household electrical ground (earthing)
Grounding randomized trial in massage therapists, 2019
Explore (New York, N.Y.) · 2019 · RCT · n=16
In a 6-week double-blind, stepped-wedge randomized controlled trial of 16 massage therapists, weeks spent grounded while working and while sleeping produced significant increases in physical function and energy and significant decreases in fatigue, tiredness, pain and depressed mood compared with ungrounded weeks.

The Effect of Grounding the Human Body on Mood
Psychological Reports · 2015 · RCT · n=40
In a double-blind sham-controlled pilot of 40 adults grounded or sham-grounded for one hour while relaxing in a recliner, pleasant and positive mood scores on the Brief Mood Introspection Scale improved significantly in the grounded group but not in the sham group.

Overnight grounding and cortisol pilot, 2004
The Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine · 2004 · uncontrolled single-arm pilot trial (no sham group; outcomes partly self-reported) · n=12
In an uncontrolled 8-week pilot of 12 adults reporting sleep trouble, pain and stress who slept on a conductive grounding pad, night-time salivary cortisol was significantly reduced and 24-hour cortisol profiles trended toward a normal circadian pattern, with self-reported sleep, pain and stress improving in nearly all subjects.

Grounding and blood viscosity pilot, 2013
The Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine · 2013 · pre/post pilot study (no sham group) · n=10
In a pilot study of 10 healthy adults grounded for two hours while seated, red blood cell zeta potential - the electrostatic repulsion that keeps red cells from clumping together - rose 2.7-fold, from an average of -5.28 mV to -14.3 mV (p = 0.00036), and average red-cell cluster size fell from 34.7 cells to 15.0 cells, indicating lower blood viscosity after grounding.
Evidence note: What has been published on grounding is early-stage and small. The trials collected here run from 10 to 40 people, the strongest is a 16-person double-blind randomized controlled trial, and several outcomes are self-reported; larger and longer trials are the next step. Readers should also know that Gaetan Chevalier, an author on three of these papers, discloses in the related 2015 Journal of Inflammation Research grounding paper that he is a paid contractor for and shareholder in EarthFx Inc., which sponsors earthing research.
FAQ
How do I know my outlet is actually grounded?
Test it with a plug-in outlet checker before the first use, and have an electrician confirm it in an older house. A three-slot outlet can look grounded with no ground path behind it, and common three-light testers cannot catch a reverse-polarity bootleg ground.
Can I use it during a thunderstorm?
No. Unplug the pin wire and take the band off. The National Weather Service advises avoiding contact with corded equipment and household wiring when lightning is possible, and a surge protector does not stop a direct strike.
Is there electricity running into me?
No. The kit is unpowered and the pin contacts only the receptacle's grounding conductor, never the hot or neutral slots. That is exactly why the outlet's ground has to be verified first - the whole design rests on that one connection being real.
What has the research actually measured?
Overnight cortisol rhythm, sleep, pain and mood, plus blood viscosity in one pilot - that is the ground the published work covers, and it supports normal cortisol rhythm, calmer mood during rest, and normal blood flow. The trials are small and early-stage. All four are linked below with what each one measured, so you can read them yourself. This is a wellness accessory, not a treatment for any condition.
How long should the copper last?
Two to three years, if you smooth the strands between your fingers after each use and store the band where it will not be crushed. Replace it sooner if strands break, burrs form, or the connector ends stop holding.
Pairs well with
- Standard Grounding Kit (Waist Belt Only) — same kit without the ankle band, and it goes up to a 39 in waist
- Waist Belt Replacement — the part that wears out first, in two to three years
- Red Pin Wire Replacement — a spare lead for a second room
Cautions
- The red pin goes only in the lower round grounding hole of a properly wired outlet. Never the flat hot or neutral slots.
- Test the outlet with a plug-in ground checker before first use, and have an electrician confirm it in an older home. A three-slot outlet can look grounded with no ground path behind it, and common three-light testers cannot catch a reverse-polarity bootleg ground.
- Unplug the pin wire and take the band off during thunderstorms. The National Weather Service advises avoiding contact with corded equipment and household wiring when lightning is possible, and a surge protector does not stop a direct strike.
- If you have a pacemaker, implantable defibrillator, insulin pump, or any other implanted or powered medical device, ask your cardiologist or the device manufacturer before wearing anything conductive.
- Stop use if the skin under the band gets red or itchy. Do not use a frayed cord, a cracked connector, or copper with broken strands - replace the worn part instead. Store the copper flat where it will not be crushed, smooth it between your fingers after each use, and plan on new copper every two to three years.
Replaceable Parts
Belt, ankle band, Y-connector and pin wire all sold separately. When one wears out you replace that one.
Made to Fit
Copper is made to the size you order, not cut from a one-size roll.
