Hitachi magic wand vibrator by Hitachi - review by ImABarbieGirl

The Hitachi Magic Wand is great for anyone who isn't getting as much pleasure with a regular vibrator. This vibrator - which is powered by wall outlet rather than batteries - has so much power, that even on low I can achieve climax within minutes. This is a clitoral product; however, there are accessories available to attach for vaginal stimulation.

This toy is for those of us who are having a hard time achieving an orgasm with a battery operated vibrator. Someone who requires more stimulation would benefit from this. This is great with play with your partner or by yourself. It is not the quietest toy in the world, so you may not want to use it if there are guests right on the other side of the wall, especially if you're trying to be discreet.

If used too much, this toy can desensitize you over time. You would want to make sure that you also use other toys in between uses, so that you can get the most from this product.

I have noticed that when you use it for too long in one sitting, the temperature will rise, so you may want to be careful not to use for too long in one setting.

I have also found it is great for achy shoulders/muscles.

The material when first taken out of the box has a slight smell, but nothing that doesn't go away quickly. It's not horrible, but it's not pleasant either. After the first cleaning, I found it went away. I have had my Hitachi Magic Wand for 6 months now and have not noticed any smell. The texture is smooth. I wish it was a bit rougher; I think that could be an interesting feel when using it.

Beginners and advanced users alike would find the material pleasant.

The design could be better, in my opinion. The head is not flexible; I would like to be able to have the head at an angle, that way I can hold it a little more comfortably. I notice that if for some reason climax is taking a bit longer, that it starts to hurt my wrist to hold it in place. I think the added flexibility would be a plus for all users.

The shape of the head is interesting. Some days it works well for me, some days I prefer to use the edge of the top surface. When using the flat top surface, it seems to get an "all over" feel. While some days that feels great, others I want something a little more focused on my clitoris.

The size of the toy is rather intimidating at first. It's pretty large. I wish the handle was a bit shorter, and the head a bit smaller. I tend to only be able to climax off of clitoral stimulation, rather than vaginal. The only position that allowed me to use this while my husband and I had intercourse was doggy with it under me and my holding it onto my clitoris. Being so large an item, it was a bit interesting to get it in the right position. Once there, it is hard to maintain because of how large it is, and again, the handle is straight. If the handle was curved, this would be much easier in any position. My husband did love the vibrations he felt off it when we used it during sex.

The Hitachi has one function - to vibrate. There are two speeds - high and low. There is a big difference between high and low. However, a first time user would be scared even on low. It's very high powered, and on your first few uses low may seem high. Once the Hitachi has been used a few times and my body was used to it, the high function was a new introduction. The switch to turn the product to low/high and off is on the handle. Depending on where you hold it, you could accidentally knock it into a different setting or turn it off, which is a bit inconvenient in the moment. You learn where to hold it after that.

The toy is noisy. Definitely something the neighbors could hear if left the windows open. I prefer to use this when I know that everyone is asleep in the house (well, except my husband), and I can be assured that my son won't hear it.

The is definitely not waterproof! You have to plug it into a wall outlet in order for it to work. So if used in the shower or a pool, you run the risk of electrocution. I find that it holds well with my wetness when I play with it. So far that has not been an issue for us.

The Hitachi is not able to be sanitized. So if you plan on using with a partner (or multiple partners), you will want put a condom over the top of it. Otherwise, after use, just take a clean wet cloth and wipe it clean.

You can store this anywhere that is not damp. It needs to be stored in a dry place. I keep mine in a drawer. I have not used this with other lubes; however, I would recommend being careful, as this product is probably not capable of being used with too much lube. I have used a dildo with this product, but may prove to be difficult when you're by yourself. As this product is so big, I find it easier when I have my husband play with the dildo with me, and I control the Hitachi.

The toy is packaged in an rectangular box that is just as long as the toy, and just as wide. There is a plastic wrapping over the toy and cord. The packaging probably can be used for storage if you have something small enough and long enough to go in there.

The pictures on the package show a woman in a workout outfit using it on her back and arms. So if you are not familiar with the product you would think it was a massager.

I love this product. I use it every once in a while. It is in rotation with a few others. I do not want to become desensitized, so I make sure to not use it all the time. It is definitely not something you want to get for beginners, as it is so high powered. This is something that is good for the experienced user.

While in doggy position, position your arm under your body to hold the Hitachi in place. Your male partner will feel the vibrations, and my husband says that the feeling is good, and helped him out a bit.
