I contemplated which wand massager to buy, a Hitachi Magic Wand Original or a Fairy Wand Massager for quite a while; I decided on the Fairy. Power-wise, it's as strong as a Hitachi. The materials and size are the same. Where I believe the Fairy is better than the Hitachi is the scroll wheel. The Hitachi has a switch with two speeds, "high" and "higher". The Fairy has a nifty scroll wheel so the speeds are incremental — I love this feature. The Hitachi tends to make me numb, not so with the Fairy. I can start slow and work my way up to supersonic!

Similar to the Hitachi, the Fairy is a plugin toy with a 6-foot cord. The Fairy's made out of food-grade materials, which is free of latex and phthalates. The head is about the size of a tennis ball and is slightly bendy. Apparently, the Hitachi accessories will fit the Fairy wand as well; I have not tried this, but I imagine the accessories would work as the vibrators are practically identical in all ways. Both of these toys are strong, very much so. I have heard that the motor is identical in both the Hitachi and the Fairy. While I'm not sure if this is accurate, I must say I believe it! One does seem just as powerful as the other.

I love the Fairy even though it does have some drawbacks. The first is the size; the Fairy, like the Hitachi, is big, heavy, and slightly cumbersome. It also tends to get hot during extended play (so does the Hitachi). It is also loud, but that's the point as the Fairy is made for power (it can't be noiseless).

All in all, I love the Fairy and would buy it again. It costs slightly less than the Hitachi, yet they are almost identical but the Fairy has a better controller. The Fairy is a great toy for solo or partner play.
