Sometimes the level of vibration that feels good on my clit amazes me. I mean, it's incredible! I'll touch a vibrator to my fingertips and it feels crazy strong, but going down there with it feels divine. I get to thinking that sometimes with my more pedestrian vibrators. The Hitachi, however, is in a class of its own.

In this toy you will find, arguably, the strongest deepest vibrations of any other toy on the marketplace. Most vibrators you can feel in the skin around where you press them and maybe a few inches inside. With the Hitachi jammed against me I can feel the vibrations in my bones. Its vibrations are penetrating and it gets right to the core. And if you're using the Hitachi for clitoral stimulation, this can be a great benefit! The part of the clitoris that you can see at the peak of your pussy lips is actually just the tip of the iceberg. As a whole, the clitoral organ continues on for several inches inside the body, continuing along the inside of the vagina and giving the G-spot its pleasure producing properties. It's a tiny button with a big boom behind it. Because the Hitachi's vibrations are so penetrating, they shake up a lot more of that inner juicy clitoral stuff than a typical vibe would.

Now in practical terms the Hitachi will not work against naked skin for every woman. It's just that strong. That said there are ways to dampen the vibrations if you find the Magic Wand is knocking your socks off in a bad way. One of my favourite ways to do this is by using the Hitachi on top of my clothes or even on top of the covers while I lay underneath. Using it through the bedding can be especially effective as you can choose how many layers of blankets you'll let the vibrations travel through. You can also try placing the toy somewhere near but not directly on your clit. Many women find placing it on top of their pubic mound very pleasurable. Finally, you could do something like place the vibrator on top of your hand and then touch yourself with that hand to combine softer vibrations with delightfully dexterous fingers.

For gals who love really strong vibrations though, the Hitachi is where it's at. A lot of folks call it an instant orgasm machine. I find that it only takes a few minutes of straight use to come from the Hitachi. For this reason it makes for a great quickie! It's also a great toy to turn to when you are ready to come NOW. Because it has no vibration patterns, I also use it to tease myself sometimes. I'll press it into me for a second and then take it away, repeating until I can't take it anymore. Speaking of pressing it in, if you are someone who likes to grind into toys the Hitachi is great for that.

For use with toys or a partner, the Hitachi is quite versatile. First, you can press it against the base of an insertable toy to feel the vibrations travel inside you. This works especially well for silicone and glass dildos. Don't forget butt plugs! There are also many different Hitachi attachments available, whether you want to add an appendage or just put something on the head to make it a bit prettier. There's even a special Liberator pillow made for holding the Hitachi so you can grind against it. For partner use, the Hitachi is a bit bulky but there are ways to work around it. For instance you can lie on top of the Hitachi while your partner works you from behind. You can also find positions where there's a bit more of an angle between your two bodies so the Hitachi can fit between. And don't forget that sex and orgasm is not just about PIV sex. Get creative!

The Hitachi only has two settings: Low and High. I'll just say that the High setting doesn't get used all too often. The Low setting is strong enough for almost every woman's taste. There is a button that moves in one direction for High and the other for Low. When the button is in the middle, the Hitachi is off. This toy is powered by a cord that plugs into the wall. If you find that cord is not long enough, you can get an extension. Some people think that its a hassle having a "wired" toy, but that's why the Hitachi is so strong! Also with a wall-powered toy you never have to worry about batteries or recharging. You also can't take it camping but hey, what are you going to do?

Materials and Care

The Hitachi is made of plastic. The handle is hard plastic and the head is of a softer variety. If you like you can wipe the Hitachi down with a damp cloth and a little soap after use. Unfortunately it can not be sterilized. If you want, though, you can buy a new head made of sterilizable silicone such as the Off With Their Head. For easy access, you can store your Hitachi already plugged in. Believe me, it is really annoying to try and search around for a wall socket in the middle of the night when all you want to do is buzz away. The Hitachi is quite large so you'll want to take that into account if you have to be discreet about your toys. That being said it is technically meant to be a body massager for stiff muscles. That excuse is not going to fly with anyone who's even heard of a sex toy, though, because the Hitachi has been an iconic sex toy for decades.

I'm giving this puppy a 5 star rating. She's been around the block a thousand times and gets the ladies off in a snap.

This is my go-to vibe for a quick and easy orgasm. It's vibrations are unlike any other I've experienced. They are so penetrating that sometimes nothing else will do. That said, they're too strong sometimes. What a classic!
