The Hitachi works great for clitoral stimulation, especially for those who have never experienced an orgasm before. This baby is packed full of power and will rock your world. Combine it with a dildo or an internal vibrator that doesn't have a clit attachment and you can have some of the strongest g-spot & clitoral orgasms ever. There is nothing better then when you can experience both at the same time and the Hitachi is great for achieving this.

You can also use the Hitachi with a partner. I have found this works best in the doggy style position. If you hold the Hitachi with the handle going up towards your tummy and hold the end down towards your clit it works quite nicely. It could be more of a hassle in many other positions though, but definitely worth trying if you have difficulty orgasming during sex. The Hitachi could be your dream come true.

Also, maybe not as common a use but it can also be used to stimulate the anus. It can be kind of obnoxious to get it at a good angle and because of its bulky size there are other toys that would work for this better, although if you like vibration anally the Hitachi feels pretty good. Even though it's not used internally the vibrations are so powerful they can still be felt throughout whatever area you press it up against.

And as many of you may already know the Hitachi's original purpose was to be used as a muscle massager, which I imagine would work quite well with its powerful vibrations. It can help with increasing blood flow to pinpoint areas and help ease tension in the muscles.

The Hitachi Wand is made out of plastic. The head of this toy is somewhat porous and does have a slight texture to it so should be washed thoughrouly. The texture on the head is so subtle that it cannot be felt during use. The handle is just made of a hard plastic which isn't slick or hard to hold on to. I would say the Hitachi is pretty much odorless. If you hold it up to your nose you can smell a subtle plasticky smell, but not much.

The design is not very appealing to the eye. It really doesn't even look like it should be used as a sex toy at all. It is designed so the neck of the Hitachi (where the head & handle are connected) is a bit flexible so you do have some give to it when in use but not much. It is quite large and I would guess that it weighs about 2 pounds. The bulky size and weight can make it a pain to use this vibrator. Your hand can get tired and/or sometimes it's difficult finding a comfortable position to hold it in. The Hitachi does have an attached cord as this toy does require an outlet to be used. Due to the Hitachi's bulky size I would not recommend it for travel.

Even though the Hitachi looks like a back massager and that was its intended purpose, it's also been a very popular toy used for masturbation. If you leave it out when friends or family come over there is a good chance they may be aware of what you use it for. If you are worried about this I would keep it hidden to avoid questions.

There are only two functions: Low & High. "Low" feels much more like a high to me and "High" feels like a SUPER intense high. In fact I only ever really use mine on low as high is just way too powerful and intense for me that my clit goes numb within seconds. If you have a clit of steel and love very strong powerful vibrations you should own this toy as I have not encountered anything more powerful and strong than the Hitachi Wand. It truly is an amazing toy in that aspect.

It is definitely loud and rumbly sounding. When turned on it sounds like you might be mixing dough for cookies with an electric mixer, so don't plan on using this in a closed room and expect no one to hear it cause they probably will. Not even sure music would help drown it out unless you had it turned up very loud.

For some the Hitachi could definitely be TOO strong. If I turn mine on to just the low setting and go to grab the head of the toy with my fingers they start to vibrate off the toy and my fingers get all tingly and numb. On the high setting it literally almost bounces and slides my fingers right off the toy if I try to grab on. Obviously the Hitachi wasn't made to use on your hands/fingers, I'm just trying to give you an idea of how strong this vibrator really is. It is so strong that it can also temporarily desensitize and numb your clit. Some people believe it can do permanent desensitizing but let me tell you I use my Hitachi nearly every day and it hasn't done any damage to my clit thus far. Not to mention I have no trouble having orgasms with my partner still or in other ways.

Overall the performance of this wand is out of this world amazing! I love mine so much it sits at my bedside already plugged in ready to go.

This toy is not the slightest bit waterproof so when cleaning, it would be best to get a damp cloth with some soap or toy cleaner on it to wash the head with. As for the handle just a damp cloth to wipe it off now and then would suffice. For storage the Hitachi is a bit large for a storage bag unless you can find one that's a good fit. I just keep mine in one of my dresser drawers or just laying on my bed since I use it so often.

This is by far my #1 used toy out of everything that I own. I sometimes use it on its own but more often then not I combine it with an internal toy to achieve an over the top leg shaking orgasm. I know that when I go to use my Hitachi I WILL have a strong orgasm, no questions asked. It has never let me down yet and it gets used on a daily basis.
