Sex Toy Regret?

I finally caved in and bought the Hitachi with my last order. Before my order arrived, I located a sex toy store in my area that carried the thing so I could see how powerful it was. I think my clitoris literally crawled inside of me when I turned it on. I'm terrified to use it, I honestly think on the lowest setting is entirely too strong for me. So now the Hitachi sits on my desk, unopened, while I debate this weekend seeing if I want to return it. I could always use it for massage, but the two attachments I ordered would be completely useless.

Have any of you ran into this? Thought you really wanted something, and then when it arrived, kind of changed your mind? I guess that's why there are return policies, but I still feel guilty.

HAHA! Yes, it's VERRRY powerful, like it was run on a car battery. I can only have an orgasm once with it because after orgasm my clitoris is incredibly sensitive, if I were to touch the Hitachi against my clit immediately afterwards I'd probably pass out.

I use mine for more than just something to get off with, I use it for my lower back and my legs. Also, there are attachments you can get to have it be a dildo as well so don't write it off just yet!

Er, you know me. I don't like the Hitachi, so I'm on the sidelines trying not to cheer. :x

I've had toy regret, before. When I first got into sex toys, I made all sorts of bad purchases -- buying too big, too small, too weak... I dislike the label "beginner toy" SO MUCH because of that. I bought 'beginner toys' when I was beginning. I seriously thought I was malfunctioning, because they were 'for beginners' and I couldn't get off.

I think specifically? I wish I hadn't bought all the huge toys and the weak toys. The weak toys could never work for me, and the huge toys caused me physical pain. I think I've spent several hundred dollars on sex toys before I gave up for many years on them.

Maybe try an 'inside' attachment for your Hitachi? I'm debating trying that, next, because I know I like intense G spot stimulation -- it doesn't make me come, but it feels nice. (I have to admit, I'm starting to think I'm beating a dead horse, buying attachments for a toy I don't like.)

While the Hitachi is my favorite toy now, I hated it when I got it. I hated it a lot.

However, M was insistent that now that we had it, we had to use it. So what ended up working for me was using it through my pants first. Once I got used to that, I used it through my underwear. And now I can just use it against my bare skin, and it's awesome.

If you want to try it out, definitely try it through jeans first. It really helps the "OMG IT IS GONNA VIBRATE MY CLIT OFF" feeling.

That's what I do when I use a partner's Hitachi: it's through the clothes, or it's a no-go.

Also, I really like it as a massager. My lower back aches a lot, and the Hitachi helps!

Send it back! You haven't used it yet, why waste your money?

Thanks for all of the suggestions. I am debating this weekend.

I had the same reaction to the Hitachi initially--way too strong, never gonna work for me. But, the sex toy shop I was working in then had sent me home with it, so I gave it a go and eventually started to love it. I would agree, definitely start over clothing (or just use a thick washcloth as padding between you and the head), and you might surprise yourself. It's king of the 10 second orgasm, if nothing else.

It took me so long to learn how to use my first vibe that for a long while I thought I'd regret it...
even if the hitachi's too strong for you, it might work well inserted in a liberator pillow while you fuck, if that's your thing.
