This massager is the best for those of you who can handle a stronger, more powerful vibration. This is not for those who may need more gentle stimulation or something quiet. This wand will get you to your peak as quickly or slowly as you like, but I must give you fair warning, it is quite loud! If you have a roommate, this may not be a great massager for you if you're trying to keep your personal activities to yourself or just don't have a lot of time alone at home. This is best for those who either live by themselves or are not ashamed of and/or actively hiding their sexuality

Only have a quick 5 minutes? Turn it on high and get straight to business. Have a bit longer? Keep it on low and let the good times roll. It only has two speeds, but they are noticeably different in the best possible way. One is low enough to keep you on edge for as long as you please, the other high enough to send you straight into oblivion!

The handle of the wand is a smooth, hard plastic, but is shaped well for easy gripping. The head of the Hitachi is a soft, firm, almost foam-like material that is detachable and very easy to clean. I find the switch to be in a very comfortable place for the way my hand holds this massager. Not so high that you can't reach it easily, but not so low that you're bumping it with every move you make on your climb.
This is my favorite large massager to use. My one complaint is it's size... it's too large to use during sex very practically. You almost have to invent a new position in order to use the Hitachi during sex, but if you're going solo, it's perfect. No reaching around at awkward angles! No worries of your hands or fingers slipping and losing your orgasm, unwarranted.
