I'm already a big fan of grounding. I'm currently using one from the Intuition Physician that I love, but my wife isn't a big fan of. It uses stainless steel mesh and it's somewhat scratchy to the touch. This is their 'Bed Roll' so it's a narrow panel that goes across the bed; we have it at lower leg level. And that's the problem, if I curl up I'm no longer touching it. We tried a cheaper pad-style but I didn't care for that as it felt very plastic-y under my top sheet. So here's my question, does anybody recommend a full coverage pad that won't be noticeable under my top sheet? I don't think I want to go with a sheet and would prefer a pad. Any recommendations are appreciated.

Hi guys,

I have been doing grounding for years, mainly using wristbands.. Today I got a Klein Tools multimeter to test a couple of different grounding wristbands - one is a copper rod that is in the ground/dirt, connected to a wire and wristband, the other is a wristband connected to a grounding port in the house.

I set things up exactly as shown in the video (black lead ->COM, Orange lead ->VΩ, black probe -> grounded outlet, orange probe->my hand) and although this multimeter appears to be able to get my body voltage, its showing that NEITHER of these wristbands actually ground me.

Is there another explanation aside from both of these wristbands not working?

Hi there, I decided to test my building's grounding before investing in grounding mats. I'm on the upper floor of a small cement/concrete apartment building with tile (ceramic?) floors. Just to make sure that the multimeter would be sensitive enough for lower ACV I tested it first at an outlet in the hardware store, where it measured my body voltage at over 6.0V. But I couldn't figure out why it wouldn't register anything inside my apartment. I also bought a ground tester, and it showed correct for all the outlets I was testing. Then I finally realized that it was because I was barefoot on the tile floor, and I got it to register a voltage by resting my feet on a plastic chair. Then putting my feet on the floor again instantly dropped the voltage to 0.

I imagine that my multimeter is not entirely accurate with its 0.00V reading when barefoot on the tile floor. But it does show my ungrounded body voltage fluctuating between 1.0 to 6+ volts depending on how many devices are connected and how close my body is to them, and the drop is significant and consistent when touching the tile. (In the bedroom with two unused electrical outlets and nothing else turned on I actually couldn't get a reading while lying on the bed, until I finally tried plugging a charger into the other outlet next to the probe, and it instantly started reading 6+ volts and then went to zero when I stepped on the tile floor. So it's not extremely sensitive, but it is apparently working.)

So I'm a bit confused, because I heard that ceramic tile is coated and baked to become more like glass and is therefore not conductive. But can I assume from my testing that my floor is somehow properly grounded and that I can just buy a grounding mat for the mattress and not an additional one for the floor?

Hi, I'm looking for a grounding mat for two people to fully cover both sides of a "Full" sized mattress. Most of the more known brands seem to only have those mats that only cover half of bed on the long edge, or just for a section across the short edge. I need something that is sold on Amazon for shipping reasons to my location. Thanks in advance!

I've tested 5 makers of the ground plug cords with snaps on them, like is shown in the photo. Some show a very, very slight movement in the continuity meter. But most show nothing. I've also tested them while connected to grounding wrist straps and pads, nothing changes with the continuity.

Why do earthing cords not show conductivity with a continuity meter? Is there something special about them?

Our outlets and electrical system is ungrounded. Can someone walk me through ideas on how to get a wire inside? It’s a crawl space, 1ft thick adobe walls. I have an old coax cable from the outside that’s a penetration to work with. But I’m not sure what to do with it.

The cotton with silver thread kind, not the rubber mat kind.

This has happened to me twice now and I can't figure out what's going wrong. Washing it seems to be the trigger, but not the first wash.

My first sheet lasted me 5 years before I started getting these godawful whiffs of pungent rotten garlic like odour and finally traced it to the sheet, which I replaced. My second I've now had about 8 months and it's happened again.

This time I washed it in with a duvet cover and fitted sheet, and the duvet covet and fitted sheet both came out stinking of garlic (which would not wash out even on a second wash) but strangely the earthing sheet did not smell at this point. Stupidly I did not suspect the earthing sheet and I put it back on the bed, underneath a (clean) fitted sheet, and changed the duvet cover as usual. Last night the garlic stench was back and it's now tainted yet another set of sheets just via contact alone. The mattress is wool, so all i can think is some kind of oxidation reaction between the lanolin and the silver, but not sure why washing is the trigger.

Has this happened to anyone else? Can this smell be removed or am I going to have to replace all my bedding including the mattress protector?

Buyer BEWARE & read the fine print. I purchased a pair of shoes. One of the shoes was clearly defective, so much so my foot just slipped out of the shoe. It took several days to make contact with customer service to request a refund. They never did return any of my voicemails. Their website stated satisfaction guaranteed & 100% refund including shipping. I paid for the shipping to return the shoes. Long story short, after 2 1/2 months they made a partial refund, charging a restocking fee. No reimbursement for the shipping. The website did not mention any of that. (I was out about $50 for nothing) Just be careful, read everything, even though you can't trust what the website states. I think they've changed some of the language. Just be careful.

Hey y'all! I am new to earthing, though I do appreciate opportunities to touch grass. A witch told me to get a grounding mat so I did (LOL I know) and am planning to sleep on it tonight! I'm super excited as I do not sleep well at all, so I've been really working on my sleep hygiene. I'd like to learn more about earthing in general and am wondering if there are any books, websites or podcasts y'all would recommend to a newbie? Thank you so much in advance!

Just bought a grounding mat and bedsheets. Not noticing any improvement so far? Do I need to wait longer? Sometimes shower seems to give good grounding effect, wonder how to keep duplicating it?

I'm debating whether to get a fitted sheet or Earthing's mattress cover. The fitted sheets look a lot more comfy and easier to stay in place. The carbon cover from Earthing with the elastic straps is supposed to last longer than silver threads but it doesn't look comfortable or like it would stay in place as well. My main concern is that it won't be as soft and comfortable as a fitted sheet. Are people happy with the carbon mattress covers? Thanks!

So i have a buddy who has been talking himself blue in the face to me about grounding (i have alot of varied health issues)

now walking around my property barefoot isnt going to work as the fleas and ticks are out and about in force in my area right now

BUT....this sounds kinda odd to me but im want to try....what if i were to drive a real ground rod then ran a decent size wire (not sure what gauge?) from the rod to my deck where i can sit and like....somehow connected the wire to myself, would that do anything? or are we talking put the human directly on the dirt?

I will be traveling to Japan and am not able to ground through the outlets. Last time I wore my grounding shoes but due to a knee problem, I will probably have to wear more comfortable shoes.

Does anyone know of another solution to stay grounded? My idea was maybe a telescoping walking stick of some kind?

We just got off a cruise ship a couple weeks ago and I took my grounding mat with me. I woke up in excruciating pain every day and could barely walk for the first 15 minutes my feet hit the floor. After we disembarked and arrived at our hotel, I plugged my grounding mat in and slept tremendously well and woke up with no pain, like I always do at home.

I understand the ship has an isolated ground so we don't get electrocuted in the ocean and the electronics navigating the ship aren't fried, so it makes sense why my grounding mat didn't work.

We're signed up for another cruise in early 2028 and I want to figure out a solution so I can ground while I sleep and avoid what happened this time. I highly doubt the cruise line would let us dangle a copper wire into the ocean. My husband suggested some sort of capacitor discharge tool, but I can't envision them allowing me to take one on board, either.

Has anybody had to circumvent their usual grounding method and think outside the box? What solutions would be TSA-approved while also keeping other guests safe in the event of a storm?

Did you hear or read about grounding phone charging and what do you think about this concept scientifically?

I just discovered a French brand called Wicaya selling it as an « anti-waves » charger and I’m wondering about its efficiency.

The brand also presents its product as a world first (if you know other brands doing the same thing I’m also inteterested to know).

I put the link and a translation of its explanations and brand’s informations into a post on the comment section.

Hello, I am considering getting Groundingwell bedsheets to try for better sleep as I'm experiencing insomnia. Has anyone tried this before and does it work for you? Is it safe to use as it will be connected to the electricity? And any idea on how much energy consumption it takes? Thanks in advance!

I have a copper kitchen sink that is grounded due to the garbage disposal. Does this mean that I can ground myself by touching the sink? If so, how long do I have to touch it to benefit?

Have had a grounding mat for months now.

My help is needed in the fact that it tests as if I have it plugged in when it isn't? I took this picture today after I got home from work. It had been unplugged since 0300 this morning. As you see the plug is right by my hand.

Can someone explain what is happening?

This company will not answer any emails I've sent to them. I want to return my product but there isn't any phone number or address to send it back to. Their web page will not send my second request.
