holy crap!
I troubleshoot HVAC for a living...
I work with electrical power every day! 5v-12v DC and 12v-600v AC, single and three phase.
you do realize that 220-240v single phase is made of two lines of 120v. there are adapters that people can use to adapt that voltage down to 110-120v.
canceling one of the legs and having a leg for common (off-site ground) or on-site ground (earth) will do this.
you can take one wire of 208/230/240v single phase and piece metal stuck into the actual ground (earth) and using a multimeter see a 110/120 bolt signal.
also, I mentioned a step down transformer which would be a safer way to do this.
the Xbox one brick is a AC power converter to 12volts DC. I never said to take that out of the equation.

note: stinger leg may show different results.
the original op, do what feels safer for you. I'd recommend getting a power brick for the region eventually.
Don't bring a voltage converter. You won't need it. Every laptop and phone charger can run 110-240V. Also, don't bring any device that requires a voltage converter (e.g., kitchen appliances, a blow dryer etc.). Just buy new stuff here.
FYI: A voltage converter is a big, heavy device that plugs into the wall. An adapter is small and just changes the plug. You can buy adapters in Korea for 2,000 won or less.
Buy a converter like this one: https://www.amazon.com/Voltage-Converter-220-240-110/dp/B001ES8YY6 or just Google "220V-120V converter".
You basically just need something like this to plug into your wall outlet transformer. Plug that into the outlet (likely won't require the adaptor), plug the toy's cord into it, and voila. You should be able to pick one up at a hardware or electronics shop.
I can't comment on the toy itself, I'm an odd creature who isn't overly enthralled with vibrators in general. Everyone I know who owns one loves it, though.
> higher the output wattage the more expensive they get so this would only be suitable for relatively low power devices.
When I moved to England ~1983, I bought three 1.5 kilowatt step downs to run my items. Including a waffle iron I loved. I found them used but even new they are not that much. You should only need one of that size for things like heating appliances. 250 Watt one are fine for most computer/audio/video use.
Look to Amazon or Ebay. And the safest ones are real transformers. Not the switch mode ones suitable only for heaters.

This won't support 15 amps though
Not really, live in Europe. There must be converters i guess? https://www.amazon.com/Voltage-Converter-220-240-110/dp/B001ES8YY6 for instance?
