Handy but Heavy
The wahl two speed massager gets the job done with great power and a great variety of attachments. Though its somewhat bulky and can be considered heavy, I Would recommend this massager to anyone that is looking for something to at least try out. Its considerably quiet, compared to most other massagers of this sort. Can be used as an all over body massager or a sexual stimulator.

Pros
price, lots of attachments, multi speed
Cons
corded, not waterproof, bulky/heavy
Most of you that follow my reviews, know by now that I suffer from fibromyalgia (among other ailments). I have scoured EdenFantastys for massage toys. When I viewed the reviews they had made it sound like the pieces were quite flexible. Though this kit does have some "softer than plastic" attachments, they are not soft by any means. Which was somewhat of a disappointment.
Firstly, the massager itself was quite heavy.Secondly, the attachments were quite a bit smaller than I had originally thought. It is corded, so this is not waterproof, nor is it "travel convenient" for those of us that like to have something handy while we're out of the house or away on trips.
The Wahl 2 speed massager is more "top heavy" than anything. Which is good, because that is where you want most of your pressure to be applied is into the attachments. It has two "thumb or finger" ridges (one on each side) to fit your fingers, thumbs or knuckles into for easy gripping. Which I found to be rather nice. To hold it in your hand is quite comfortable. Its not massive, but it is rather clunky or awkward until to you get used to it. It weighs 2 pounds total. This may not seem like much for some, but for me (who has wrist and joint issues, it felt like a beast). The handle is slender and easy to grip. The On/Off switch is located on the handle on the underside. This has become somewhat of an issue for me, as it is touchy and sometimes goes off when I am trying to use the massager if I bump it with my hand/fingers. It has settings for OFF, HIGH and LOW.
The massager is made of a heavy duty plastic, smooth and gray in color, while the attachments are made of a PVC material. The attachments are not "bendable" or very flexible, but they do have some give on the thinner pieces.
I would suggest that someone without a lot of padding or muscle use this on the LOW setting to begin with and test areas before really getting into it. This massager does have quite a bit of power to it, even on LOW, so use caution when testing out areas of the body. This massager does come with a VERY long cord. I would say its about a 6 or 7 foot cord. With kids and a dog in the house, this isn't the best item to use while they are walking about, unless I have it hidden under the chair or something. So if you have a lot of traffic in the home, make sure to take that into consideration.
All in all, I would have to say that this massager is a decently priced, great variety massager. If you are looking to use this as a sexual stimulator, I would say that if you like POWER, go for it! This has a lot of it! With the handles on this massager, its easy to grip from all angles, so that could definitely work for you. The wahl two speed massager can be used with water based and silicone based lubricants. However, I would be very careful not to get the lubricants anywhere near the "inside" where the attachments go and make sure you clean it thoroughly so you do not damage the motor inside or the attachments.
The noise level on this is pretty low, considering the power it has behind it. I would give it a 4 on a scale of 10 for noise. This is something that is great to give as a gift, you can leave it out and no one will think anything of it. The packaging is discreet and advertises the toy as a personal all over body massager, so no worries about any "weird looks" if someone sees it.

Follow-up commentary
2 days after original review
I really have to say that even though the attachments on this massager aren't the softest, this has been a great item over the past week or so. Because of all my traveling (2 hours, one way) to visit family and dealing with them being in the hospital, my back, neck and shoulders were wrecked! I found that this massager works best for deep tissue massages on my thighs and lower back. I still don't care for the fact that it is somewhat awkward and bulky to handle on my own, but that is what hubby is for! Because of the length of the cord too, we found that it sometimes becomes tangled around. A longer cord is good for reach but bad if you don't need it. It bunches and kind of gets in the way. Wishing this one was wireless.
