Are your regular, battery-eating vibrators not doing it for you anymore? Want something a little (or a lot) more intense? This, my friends, is the vibrator for you. The Hitachi Magic Wand plugs into the wall (bye-bye, costly batteries!) and revs up a major dose of buzz! With vibrations so intense, some people report having to use it through a pillow. This is the only vibrator that gets me off (and it's not from desensitization from using this toy; I've always been a difficult customer). The Hitachi also doubles as a great massager (who would've thought?) - especially on those PMS-won't-quit days or if you're sore from orgasming so much because you used the Magic Wand in the Netherlands.

Be aware, though: This vibrator is obviously not waterproof and difficult to clean which are problems that are easily solved by covering it with an extra-large condom, and it overheats after about 20-30 minutes of use (if you make it that far) which is a problem solved by keeping an extra one handy! Admittedly, though, I've never had a problem with the non-waterproofness of this toy, and I am a big time gusher when this baby has me in its grips. I've had mine for four years now without a problem.

The texture of this toy is smooth overall. Personally, I like it just the way it is, but anyone who is unhappy with the size or the texture will find that this is easily remedied by purchasing one of the many varying attachments on the market. You can get ones that are even smoother, bumpy ones, ones made to hit the G-Spot, or triple plays, etc. The material is somewhat easy to clean though I find that mine has picked up a few stains along the way (likely from other toys in my toy bag).

The Magic Wand is an intimidatingly large toy. The head is about the size of a baseball which some people may not feel comfortable using. If so, please remember that there are attachments that fit on this to adapt it for different uses. Obviously, this is not an insertable by itself, but there are insertable attachments that fit over the head. I personally like the size of this toy. I've used a few different attachments and just can't get quite satisfied like I can when using it naked. This is a large toy overall and not very easy to hide, but since it is marketed as a massager, it is somewhat easy to explain away.

Have I mentioned the super-intense buzz factor of this vibrator? Oh. My. God. Seriously. If you don't already own one of these, I bet you have never experienced such a mind-blowing orgasm. This toy is so unbelievably easy to use. You just plug it in and turn it on (it has two settings, earth-shaking and earth-shattering, also known as low and high, respectively). Obviously, you cannot use this in water, but you may want to use it in the tub to catch any fluids that will result from the intense orgasms brought on by this toy. It's very simplistic, but sometimes it's best to keep it simple. This toy doesn't need any bells and whistles to be amazing.

My first, biggest, and best piece of advice is to use a condom with this toy. Seriously. A regular condom will fit, but I recommend an extra large condom slipped over the head and down the handle. This will help protect your Magic Wand from bodily fluids and make it easy to keep clean. If you prefer not to use a condom or forget, baby wipes are the best way to go. They are not wet enough to cause any damage, and since they are made for using on very sensitive areas, you know they are not going to leave any residue that could cause irritation or imbalance. If you ever plan on sharing this toy though, use a condom because it's very, very difficult to sanitize this toy. Be careful when storing this toy because it likes to pick up stuff: be it dust, dirt, or residue from other toys.
