Need Help: Shaver Socket Outlet Question?

Question

Hi there! I recently moved to Hong Kong and the bathrooms in my building have these funny sockets. I want to use it for my electric toothbrush but its not your standard european shaver outlet.

It is a clipsal shaver socket outlet with three holes and says 115 v and 240v on the front.

How do I plug my toothbrush in? My toothbrush would normally plug right into something that looks like this: http://www.flatbatt.co.uk/electrical/sha... (it has the two small round pins).

This has been quite frusturating. Anything you can do to help would be great!!!

Thanks.

Answer 1

You need to purchase some electrical converters. Some examples are at the link below but these are travel-specific; check your local hardware store or electronics store for ones that are designed for long-term use. Different countries use different ways to produce and deliver electricity, and the electric that makes it into your home may have different voltage/amperage than in your former home country, hence the different adapters and sockets.
