We have had the Hitachi Magic wand for a number of years now, but it rarely comes out to play unless my wife uses it as a normal massager. As a normal massager, it's fabulous, especially for the calves & back of the thighs. As a masturbation toy, it is phenomenal, the only problem with our use of the Hitachi is that it is just too strong for my wife. On a high setting, she cums very quickly and then sensation on her clitoris becomes painful and our fun is over very quickly. On the low setting it is better, but not much, therefore my wife ends up choosing other toys that she enjoys more.

As for me, the hubby, my wife has used the Hitachi on my penis several times, by running it up and down the underside of my shaft or holding it under the head of my penis. I've not failed to cum yet, and it's quite enjoyable, but I'd still prefer a basic handjob over the Hitachi. Major cons that we don't like are the weight and the cord. It's just too cumbersome and a bit of a hassle when we have toys in the drawer we prefer much more.

However, I would suggest that if you buy the Magic Wand, buy an attachment that allows penetration in the vagina, as the Magic Wand is a clitoral masturbator alone. The various available attachments will turn it into a strong vibrator that you can still move back and forth between the clitoris and vagina, making it a versatile toy. One last word, the head is pretty large, so if you're like my wife and want more focused attention on your clitoris, you will not get it with the Hitachi, and that is why we just bought the medium Lelo Smart Wand, as it has a smaller head, is less powerful and is cordless.

Overall, if price is not an issue, everyone should have a Hitachi Magic Wand, just don't expect it to be your favorite toy, unless you enjoy cumming fast, over and over until your clitoris is aching. Then again, if you're into BDSM and you want to be tied down and sexually tortured with this devil, this is the toy for you!

My wife and I very rarely use this as a masturbation toy as it's too heavy and powerful.

Well, it's time for a follow up review, and I have to tell you, my wife and I haven't touched the Hitachi Magic Wand in the time since I reviewed it. Why? We purchased the LELO Smart Wand medium. I/we still enjoy the Hitachi, but it has its place, and that place isn't visited often. The Hitachi is excellent at what it was intended for, a massager, but as a sex toy... it's just to powerful, and the head is too large for my wife to really enjoy. As a sex toy, it's just too much of a "wam bam, thank you ma'am...hope you enjoyed your rushed orgasm," toy. It's perfect for those into BDSM play who enjoy forcing orgasm after orgasm from their partner, especially if the partner enjoys ending with a sore and throbbing vagina. However, my wife isn't into that sort of play. The LELO Smart Wand medium is smaller, with a smaller head, cordless, lighter, more ergonomicaly pleasing to the hand, and it's just a better sex to for pleasing my wife and slowly drawing out delicious orgasms from her. I'm still happy that I own the Hitachi Magic Wand, but as long as we own the LELO Smart Wand medium, the Hitachi will be used mainly as a normal massager.
