Some low-wattage electrical items like radios, cd players, etc. do not need to be grounded and can be plugged directly and safely to the bottom 2 holes of a 3 pin socket. To do this successfully you have to first insert a flat screwdriver or something into the upper pin which is the ground and carries no current with it. Press down the screwdriver to open the two lower pins and it is then that you can insert your plug. Never force it.
For two-pin high-wattage appliances like microwaves, heaters, etc. that need to be grounded (they have a fat round plug with two metal strips at the side), it is better to buy a special adapter with a ground (costs QR11 at Carrefoure). Your 2-pin plug should fit in perfectly and firmly, if it is the right adapter.
