A classic personal massager, the Hitachi Magic Wand is certainly magical. With a large head for huge stimulation and a powerful vibration speed (even on low!) the Hitachi is sure to hit the spot, wherever the spot is. It also works well to stimulate your partner's penis; if you are using it while being fucked, he'll be able to feel the vibrations, too.

Because the vibrator's head is so large, it can also be used for anal stimulation, or as an actual massager--use it on your arms if they're tired from too much masturbation!

The hitachi's head is smooth, slightly ripped plastic; but as it's corded and not waterproof, full sterilization can be tricksy. One of my issues with the hitachi is that I used it while menstruating, and was subsequently unable to restore the head to its former pristine white condition. A lesson learned--use a condom over your hitachi if it's gonna get dirty!

And, because it's latex free, those who are allergic don't have to miss out on a thing.

It's large, so it won't fit in an ordinary toybox, but for those who think bigger is better, the Hitachi delivers. The only issue is that if you're using it for solo stimulation for a long period of time, the straight shaft can hurt your forearm--so remember to switch off and give your dominant hand a break!

The controls are easy to use: Low, off, and WOW. Even on low, the vibrations are intense. . . And LOUD. The hitachi sounds like a jackhammer in the bedroom--but it can be muffled under a blanket and a TV show. But the vibrations are serious, so people with difficulty reaching climax may find this toy satisfying.

While some don't like electric--I do; it means that the hitachi is never going to die on me from low battery power when I need it to live on.

The hitachi is easy to care for; the plastic means it's safe for use with all lubricants, and safe for cleaning. Because of its size, I cannot store it in a toybox with my dildos and vibrators, so I make sure it is wrapped in cotton before storage, to prevent anything nasty from soiling it.

It came in a fairly bland cardboard box: I was suspicious and underwhelmed when I first saw it. Looks were totally deceptive.

A fabulous toy that every woman should own; if not for daily use, then for those special occasions where a quick fix isn't quick enough.

I must say that I am the first among my friends to actually KILL a hitachi! My hitachi died, mid-session a few weeks ago, refusing to turn on to its low setting. While I'm saddened that the hitachi only lasted about a year, it was used daily and did its job quite well while it lasted.
