However, I looked and they do not have the MagnaPins. One could ask. Demand = interest. There is also a qvcjp (Japan), but I didn't try it. Inside the tunnel that you push your pin through is some substance that grips the pin. The wrapper has instructions to insert a pin shaft into each end of the magnet a few times to loosen it up before you wear it. If you have a pacemaker or defibrilator or other implanted medical device, check with your doctor before using. The MagnaPin is nickel-plated, and may cause a skin reaction to persons allergic to nickel. There is a Web Site where you can see drawings (if you are thinking of making your own) and more useful information. http://www.magnapin.com/index.html Look at all the menu options offered to learn more.
