I’d like to know what rock I've been hiding under, because apparently I haven't been paying nearly as much attention to what's going on in the adult toy world as I thought I was, as I hadn't even heard of the Wahl until just a few months ago. How I could have missed something that is so close to developing as large a cult following as the Hitachi, I still don't know… but I guess as the old saying goes, better late than never, right?

And some of the other reviewers are correct… individuals who have both the Hitachi and the Wahl are falling into two camps, each one representing their favorite. Well, I still love my Hitachi the most, but admittedly a lot of that has to do with the fact that the Hitachi – even as bulky as it is – is still easier to maneuver about than the Wahl is.

The first thing you will notice about the Wahl is how big it is. Bigger than you'd think from the pics… the second thing you will notice is how heavy this sucker is. But you will forget ALL about that the first time you have an orgasm from this thing.

I've never cried before from an orgasm. Ever. I've had over twenty orgasms in a row before during playtime and never shed one tear… So the fact that just one orgasm from this thing had me crying and actually hesitant to play with it again for a few days should have you not even bothering to finish reading this review and just going ahead and adding it to your shopping cart. Don't worry, I won't be offended!

You do have to be careful with this thing, though… I have yet to master the way of using the Wahl without having a slightly sore clit the next day, but damn… it's freakin' worth it!

But don't let that deter you if you are more sensitive than I am. I'm a power queen, so the attachments that have more of a pinpoint – and therefore very intense – sensation will be what I'll gravitate towards. But there are several attachments in the assortment that would offer a much more subtle experience for those who are not in need of stronger sensation. It's for this reason that someone who might have been unable to stand the strength of the Hitachi might want to consider becoming part of the Wahl fan club.

All of the attachments offer a different sensation and you will have to play with all of them to figure out what you do and do not like. And since the same attachment will feel completely different depending on which of the two settings you use, that leaves you with quite a few new and different sensations to experience when you get this massager.

What’s referred to as the “spot application” attachment offers the most extreme sensation, which of course means it's my favorite. The “knuckle joint” (triangle shape) and “deep muscle” (fingertip point surrounded by rings to diffuse the intensity of the vibes) are also great. The “scalp” (spiky one) attachment, although intimidating, is also fun but I find that's its best when used on the nipples. It's the first toy to actually provide me with arousing stimulation of my breasts but that's partly because I like rougher breast play than most, so it will depend on individual preference. Others will enjoy the “general body” attachment which looks like a funnel cup, as it's the perfect shape to surround the nipple, and I also really enjoyed using the edge of its lip against my clit to provide a type of pinpoint sensation that, although intense, didn't leave me a little sore the next day the way my favorite, the “spot” application, does.

Now, as far as the vibrations are concerned… there is nothing, absolutely nothing, out there that I've tried or even heard of that feels the way the Wahl does on either setting. This is really not just another vibe. You know how most of the vibrators out there just offer varying degrees of the same type of vibration? So NOT the case here.

If you are the proud owner of hundreds of vibrating sex toys, but have never tried the Wahl, I honestly do believe that when you do, it will be like using a sex toy for the very first time. Hell, the resulting orgasm you have from this massager will make you feel like you are coming for the very first time. That is honestly how I felt on both fronts.

It isn't just strong, it’s two completely different types of vibrations. One is a high speed surface type sensation that is capable of creating an INTENSE orgasm all on its own, and the second is a very deep, thuddy, pounding type vibration. Switch back and forth between the two in the same session and you'll be begging for mercy.

It may be heavy and bulky and not exactly the sexiest looking thing in the world but I don't care. The Wahl has beaten quite a few of the cutesy toys I've bought in the past. And for the price, no one really has the excuse to NOT give it a try and see for themselves what all the fuss is about.

It definitely gets two thumbs up and a hearty recommendation from me and has earned a permanent place in my favorites.
