Magic Wand Original - massager by Vibratex - review by erppie

I knew about the hitachi long before I even contemplated buying it. Sex and the City character Samantha Jones had a hilarious encounter in the Sharper Image and the Hitachi wand became forever branded as "the" vibrator. Still, I was reluctant because the Hitachi qualifies as machinery. It's big, it's corded and sounds like a lawn mower. After searching day and night for a replacement for my eager beaver, a customer representative on Eden's recommended the hitachi. It was the probably the best suggestion of my life.

The hitachi is multi-purpose. It may have originally been intended to be used as a back massager but now it's probably indiscreet just because it's infamous. It's great for solo and couple play, and the optional attachments add to the fun. Without an attachment, the hitachi is an extremely powerful clitoral stimulator. With an attachment, it's a powerful dual stimulator.

Functionally, the hitachi has two controls. High and low, or airplane engine and lawn mower. Seriously, the motor is ridiculously strong. After turning it off, I can still feel the vibrations in my fingers. It's a pretty lengthy toy at 12 inches, but none of it is insertable. (at least for the non-adventurous) The body is plastic and the head is a hard, foam material.

In regards to cleaning and caring for the hitachi, I advise avoiding water. There's really not cleaning involved and taking care of the hitachi is like taking care of any electrical appliance. If you choose to buy attachments for the hitachi, like the gee whiz or gee whizzard, consider the material before your purchase. The gee whiz and gee whizzard are both made of silicone, so easy to clean and care for.

For all the hype about the hitachi, it's magic lies in its ridiculously strong vibrations. Its impossible not to get off. That being said, it's so quick, it's almost not fun. Even for someone that's multi-orgasmic, it's so good, it's almost too good. The hitachi is my last resort, special day vibe. It's a little too heavy duty for use all the time. Still, it's a guarantee every time. Another reason why it might not be your all-the-time toy is the noise. It really is quite loud, I've heard that attachments diffuse the strength/noise, but it still feels like there's a lawn mower between your sheets.

Nevertheless, I love the hitachi and I'm glad it's a part of my arsenal. It's well-made and it feels like a solid piece of equipment. It also gives great back massages.
