Of course I had to get a Hitachi, how could I live my life not knowing what these earth-shattering orgasms were like? I balked a bit at the price but ultimately bit the bullet. First of all, it's massive. I could hit a baseball with this thing. And it is LOUD. And it has an actual cord you have to plug into the wall like a blender. And this was before I had gotten it anywhere near my body! Intense? Yes. Like a mechanical bull, I think I lasted less than 7 seconds with this thing in direct contact with my clit. Make sure you lube up first, and go very light and very easy and on the low setting. Laying the wand against your thigh and just edging against your clit is a good way to start.

There are only 2 settings, high and OMG OMG OMG. I eventually bought a lamp dimmer to use as a power adjuster so I could dial the intensity down to manageable levels, and have since enjoyed it a lot more. Before that, I was only using the Hitachi on low, and even then only in short spurts before I was "done".

The danger with using a toy as powerful as the Hitachi is that you gradually desensitize yourself to finger stimulation and gentler vibrations, requiring more and more intensity to get you over the edge, so I make sure to alternate my Hitachi usage with other milder toys. There are also a host of attachments you can buy to use the Hitachi more as a vibrating base with an insertable, which makes the vibration tamer as well. There are also seats that can hold the Hitachi so you can ride it like an affordable Sybian substitute.

My very favorite way to use the Hitachi is to have my man use it on me in a BDSM setting for "forced" orgasms. It is stellar for this, but be sure you have a safe word and that your partner understands exactly HOW powerful this tool is.
