Hi; I just ordered the Universal Travel Adapter from the site, which includes adapters for US/Australia, UK, and European outlets. What I'm confused about, though, is how you plug your device into the adapter? I've been assuming that for, say, a UK outlet, I would plug that adapter into the UK outlet and plug my device into the adapter. But I don't see any way to plug in my device. Am I misunderstanding how these are meant to be used? Thanks for any insights!

Are you perhaps looking for a USB port?
I don't think it has that.

Isn't there a plug on the opposite side from the prongs into which you can plug your US plug? Perhaps you've not received it yet. The photo on the online shop doesn't show that side of the adapter.

Here's an example of one with photos showing both sides of the adapter.

Thank you, all, for your input.
The adapters have a pattern of holes on the other side that I was unable to plug anything into.
I just tried again--turns out I wasn't pressing hard enough! I got the plug for my laptop to plug into the UK adapter. So, all seems well.
Thanks!

Don’t forget to flick the switch on the wall socket in the UK.

Thank you!
And also for the point about flicking the switch on the UK plug. :-)
