The Hitachi Magic Wand Vibrator is the ultimate powerhouse. I think that this stems from the fact that it is still one of the few corded products available. The best uses I think are for super- fast quickies when you want it, and want it fast. This would also be helpful for those whom have trouble having orgasms. This thing above all will make you come if nothing else on the shelf will. The vibrations may be too strong for some, even on low, if you are sensitive. Most times I have used it and was attaining orgasm within 20 or so seconds... it is that powerful.

When using it with a partner, both can feel the strong vibrations and can make a penis seem magical during intercourse. I have tried using it alone on my partner and he says it is a bit strong to be helpful. My hubby is super- sensitive in this aspect. For other men I think this can indeed be something drug out over and over... it just works.

Upon inspection, the unit is heavy for its size, and can be a bit awkward using since it is also long. The tip is rounded with a bit of texture that makes it nice for stimulation. The tip is very large, (about the size of a tennis ball,) and I wouldn't consider it a penetrative option. Indeed this is all that it lacks in my opinion is a bit smaller size to at least titillate at times. There are many attachments to enable this job if your are so inclined on this website. In the end it's only main function is to vibrate, and it does this extremely well.

To me there is no discernible taste or smell to the product which I find great in the era of super cheap jellies. Perhaps a hint of rubber, but not so much to be offensive.

It is big, long, and relatively noisy when compared to other personal products I have used. This is good in some ways because length ensures that I can reach every nook and cranny without strain. Beginners would like this because it does not depend on precise control to be effective; anywhere it touches will be aroused. I have often used this as a overall massager on my neck and shoulders, my feet and my lower back. The toy is extremely durable in this aspect, you would really have to do something major to break it. I have owned mine, without much babying, for five years now and it is still as strong as when first purchased.

I do consider this a hard to hide item on it's size alone. This is shadowed because of the sheer performance. I don't think this would ever be a factor in my purchase alone because I know of its quality.

The functions are blissfully simple: low and hi placed right on the handle easily within reach as to not disturb "your groove" so to speak. The toy is noisy enough to be heard outside the room if it is relatively quiet in the house. This is NOT waterproof.

My only problem with the Hitachi is that with most vibrating toys I own: the more I use it, the more I tend to desensitize over time. In this respect I would not use it everyday, but often enough to get your bang for your hard earned buck!

It is virtually maintenance free. After using, I simply clean it with toy cleanser and allow to dry. You could also stretch a condom over it as well which I do often, just for cleanliness sake.

The toy is packaged securely with instructions at a minimum. I mean come on, hit the switch and apply. What else is there to worry about? Simple and genius!

If I had to choose out of ALL the products I own, which is surmountable at this point, this is the one I will always have around.
