The Hitachi magic wand is a versatile vibrator that was originally designed to be a powerful back massager. This back massager was eventually used down below the waist and took off as a powerful sex toy for most women and some men. The magic wand is great for working out the kinks in your neck and back and works wonders with achieving an eruption of orgasms. This vibrator is great for clitoral stimulation and can be used to stimulate men's testicles, though even on the softest setting the vibrations may be too powerful and cause pain to the scrotum. This product is best used externally as the head is a bit too large to fit inside of the vagina or anus (I highly recommend against using this product anally). If you decide to use this to stimulate the g-spot or p-spot, I suggest investing in an attachment that has been made to fit the head of the magic wand. Since this toy needs to be plugged into the wall during use, this is a bedroom only type toy. Do NOT use this in the tub, shower, or pool as it can electrocute you if you're not careful (and not the fun kind of electrocution).

The magic wand is made of plastic, though the texture of the head differs from the texture of the handle. The head of the hitachi is a bit spongy feeling, though it is not porous. The head rests on a blue piece of plastic that allows the head to flex while in use. The fact that the head is flexible makes it easy to use if you are massaging the muscles of your shoulders or your back. If you are using this product to pleasure the clitoris the flexible head makes it easy to use alone and not worry about if the head is positioned properly along the labia. Trust me, the vibrations are insanely powerful and you might not want to place it directly on the clitoris, so the flexible head can help with positioning the vibrations to where they are not completely overwhelming or overpowering. If you are new to toys and have heard a lot about the magic wand, I'd be cautious and wait a bit before purchasing one of these. The vibrations are insanely powerful and you might not find enjoyment out of it the first few tries. For those who have been using toys for a while, if you have been using toys for a while and are not overly sensitive to strong vibrations I highly recommend the magic wand.

If you suffer from sore muscles and can't find a back massager that is strong enough to help work out the knots you may have without having to consult a massage therapist, I highly recommend the magic wand. On the highest setting, the magic wand is able to work out the kinks and help alleviate back pain as well as shoulder pain. I use my hitachi more for a back massage than I do for clitoral stimulation, though it's quite interesting to use below the waist. If you do suffer from sore muscles, though, I highly recommend the hitachi.

The design of the hitachi, with the flexible head and easy to grip plastic handle, is wonderful for those who often struggle to keep a hold of vibrators while using them. The long handle also aids in keeping your arms from stretching too much when using this as a back massager. The hitachi is a bit large, though, and is far from discreet, so if you keep it out it is not inconspicuous. If you decide to travel with this product it is easy to store in a suitcase beneath some clothes. I will advise that if you are traveling with this product internationally you are going to want to invest in an outlet converter so that you do not blow a fuse or ruin the motor in the wand. Again, this product is definitely for more advanced users and those who are not overly sensitive to rather hard vibrations.

The hitachi is easy to operate and the controls are not hard to find. Along the plastic handle of the hitachi that connects to the power cord is a blue panel with a black switch like button. Before turning the hitachi on, make sure to plug it into the wall. If you don't plug it in, it won't work. To turn the hitachi on and activate the vibrations, slide the switch over once for the lowest setting or twice for the highest setting.

There are two settings for the magic wand, the low setting and high setting better known as "Oh my God" and "HOLY SHIT BATMAN!" The lowest setting is about 5000 rpm and the highest setting is 6000 rpm. That's a lot of power, ladies and gents. Unless you have a clitoris of steel or are a robot you're going to feel these vibrations and they're sure to shake, rattle, and roll your vagina bits throughout your play session. Once you've found the vibration setting you are comfortable with you'll notice that the vibrations are located solely in the head of the hitachi. The handle vibrates a slight bit while the hitachi is in action, but that's to be expected from such hard vibrations that course through the head. I advise against placing the head directly against the clitoris as it can be a bit painful during play, especially on the highest setting. If you place the head along the labia and against the hood of the clitoris you'll reap the benefits and rewards of such a wonderful product.

If you have a roommate or live at home you're not going to want to use the magic wand until you're alone. It is loud and can be heard through the walls. Another thing to remember is that this is not a waterproof toy so don't take it with you for some underwater adventures. If you do, you might be met with a shocking surprise.

After you've done some magic in the bedroom, clean the hitachi with a warm, wet washcloth and some antibacterial soap or toy cleaner. Make sure not to get the shaft wet down near the power cord. After cleaning the head, dry with a towel, and place it in your dresser drawer or a box to store. When storing, make sure not to bend the cord near the base of the handle as the cord could eventually break and fray, causing the hitachi to no longer work. I'd wrap the cord around the handle for safe keeping just to be sure. Since the head is made of plastic you can use either water based or silicone lubricants with this product.
