Q. Does grounding work through clothes?
A. Grounding works best with direct skin contact. However, it can also work through natural fiber clothing or cotton sheets, though the effect may be less pronounced. Damp clothing or body moisture can enhance conductivity.
Q. How do you feel after grounding?
