I must say, from day one of learning about this toy, I dreamed of owning it. This is the kind of toy that almost everyone has heard of. Of the hundreds of toys on this website, this is the one that people time and time again come back to and say THIS is the best toy ever. And I waited for my turn to get to have my say on the topic. And I couldn't agree more. This. Is. The. Best. Toy. Ever. The End. But I am guessing you would like a bit more information before you decide if this lives up to all of the hype.

You will love using this baby on your clitoris as well as your vaginal opening. It's so powerful and has such a wide range of settings that no matter what you need, it has it. As a result of being so powerful it is also very loud. If you dare, you can use this bad boy internally as well, though you may consider using a condom since it has a porous material. There are also many "heads"/ attachments that you can purchase to even further the number of uses.

This part seems to be pretty key, some people complained about not liking the texture and to be honest, I kinda sorta noticed it but it didn't really bother me. If you put a condom over the head or use an attachment then even if you are sensitive to it, then it won't be a problem. The head is made from a rubber material and had a slight odor. Make sure to wash this before and after each use because it is so porous. If this is a big purchase for you and you want to keep this amazing toy around longer, you may want to use a condom. I don't use a condom, but thats me.

The handle is made of plastic and can get pretty slippery once you get going. Plastic is much safer than rubber and can withstand germs and bacteria a lot better. But nevertheless be sure to clean the handle before and after each use as well.

The texture of the head is mild in my opinion and would be perfect for beginners who are still learning their body and you advanced folk who know whats what.

This is probably the only part that makes me sad about this toy. I am a color person. My favorite color happens to be blue so I can work with the white/blue combo, but the color and shape and design of the toy are all very important to me. I want to play with something that not only makes me sexy, but also looks sexy. This toy is not sexy. Not by any standards. If it didn't work so well I doubt I'd ever use it. That is one thing I am glad that Hitachi focused on was how it worked and not the design, but I would think that now that they have everything figured out that they could at least come out with some more colors!

Anyways, it looks standard, but it works in magical ways. The size is pretty big and having to plug it into the wall to use is also cumbersome. In some ways I love that because it equates to the power. But its also a pain because I've learned to keep an extension cord handy in case I want to move around. I recommend investing in an extension cord if you don't already have one. This toy is not so easy to hide and if a person stumbles across it, they may not know what it is unless they either have one or are currently drooling over one.

I could probably go on all day and all night about the power behind this. It makes me feel areas of my body I didn't even know I had. There are two settings and thats really all you need. Low and High. If the settings are too high then using something between you and the toy is necessary. Try looking for an attachment that will help absorb the vibrations. I haven't really met anyone who thinks the vibrations aren't strong enough. It's plugged into the wall and really goes! Due to there only being the two settings, once the toy is plugged in, all you have to do is switch it to low or high and you are ready to go. That is a benefit of not using batteries!

The sound to me gets lost pretty fast in what I am doing and I go into my own little world. If you are more of an audio person this might be a lot and if you are somewhere with people nearby this would definitely be heard. Especially if you have kids around wondering what mom is doing locked in the bedroom with a leaf blower on!

Like I said above, the head is porous and made of rubber, so cleaning this toy is extremely important. Keep the toy unplugged when not in use. This is pretty much true of all electronics but more so with the Hitachi. If you want to KNOW that this toy is REALLY clean, you have to use something to cover the rubber, because rubber just isn't going to stay clean. Using a condom or an attachment is going to be your best bet. Keep in a dry and cool area when not in use.
