The Magic Wand Rechargeable is surprisingly quiet! I was expecting it to be a jackhammer of some sort, but it's really not that bad (at least not yet). After that first round, I figured it'd be a good idea to test if it could be heard. I propped it up against a pillow on my bed (so the head wouldn't touch the mattress - as that makes it *very* loud, and unlike what it sounds like against my nethers), and ran it on each speed.
First strength, couldn't hear it 10m away - I couldn't even get to the door.
Second strength, couldn't hear it 10m away, just like the first strength.
Third strength, could just barely hear it 10m away - I had to strain to be able to pick the sound up
Fourth strength could barely hear it 12m away, at my door.
After that test, I couldn't help myself and decided to indulge in this lovely "Cadillac of Vibrators", as they call it, again. And I realized a few things. Pressing it against myself for extended periods of time (30min+) with a clothing barrier of some sort will terribly irritate my skin. It got to the point where my skin had gotten itchy(?), and it was more of an annoying experience than pleasant. Even 15min after removing the Magic Wand Rechargeable from myself, any movement/walking (which caused underwear to rub against irritated skin) was almost painful. This has not happened to me (yet) when using it directly against skin.
Another thing to note is that every ~20 minutes, the wand shuts off - the manual claims it's to keep it from overheating, but the handle barely becomes warm at best, so I tend to just turn it back on. I messed around with the patterns, of which there are 4, but I didn't find them to be too favorable. They don't deviate from any of the standard patterns one would find on a vibrator. I just tend to stick to the steady vibration, but they're below in the Vibration Map section if you need to know what they are.
The Magic Wand Rechargeable is big. And heavy. My wrist gets tired if I hold the toy at an awkward angle very quickly. It's also a wonderful 'general' massager for sore muscles - excellent on the back, shoulders, and neck area - just be careful not to get your hair caught in the movement. I do not use any lube in conjunction with this toy -- that just makes me think it'll be more difficult to clean - if, however, you choose to add lube, make sure it's water-based, as the head is made of silicone. I clean this wand with a damp paper towel, as I currently don't have any toy cleaner (besides, I don't believe in that stuff). I hope to one day get a few attachments for this wand, as I've heard many reviewers singing praises for them. If you happen to have any favorite wand attachments, drop them in the comments section!
@Leil@: thank you for the wonderful compliment
