I wonder if Hitachi knew what they had done when they first made this massager. Yes it was originally intended to be used as a massager or so they say. We love it as a vibrator though. This thing has been on the market for some time now and it doesn't appear to be fading out of production anytime soon. It packs a serious punch and will continue to do so for years to come.

Its main use for us is for clitoral stimulation and it does this fantastically. My wife uses it often alone or during foreplay. The length of it is good for reach and she can get a firm grip with both hands. It has two speeds which she normally prefers the low. It gets the job done in mere seconds and always more than once. It's a great way to get her warned up before a romp in the sheets. Occasionally we use it during intercourse but it can be cumbersome, during sex she likes to use it when she's on her back to put pressure on her abdomen sending vibrations to her g-spot. There are attachments that offer g-spot stimuli as well. We use it during oral, anal play and with dildos also. Pretty much this will heighten any stimulation she's already experiencing.

I've heard the head is detachable for easy cleaning but we have always used disinfectant wipes to clean ours. The bulb is made of a soft plastic so it's not very porous and is relatively safe. The head is on pretty good so I think removing it too often may compromise its durability. I think cleaning it with toy or disinfecting wipes is the best idea. I have seen videos where people use a condom over the top as well. Also like I said there are attachments so the massager itself might never actually come in contact with your skin if you prefer using one of those instead.

I got this for my wife as a Christmas gift about 7 years ago and boy are we both glad I did. It's definitely passed the test of time. It's by far her favorite toy. We never leave for vacation without it. I even bought a 12 volt cigarette adapter for the car so we can use it on road trips. I love watching her use it. It sends her body into convulsions every time. We use it often to warm things up and it makes her super sensitive afterward. Best product ever!
