I
was thrilled to receive the Hitachi
Magic Wand to review because I had
heard some good things about it. But
when I opened the box I had to take
a moment to adjust my thinking. Not
because I didn't think it was going
to be a good toy, but because it is
a bit imposing. It's more like an
appliance than a toy, complete with
a power cord. Because of the uniqueness
of this toy, I had to use several
sessions in order to adequately preview
this toy - especially since I was
also supplied with two attachments
for it, The
G Cap and the Gee
Whiz.
What
does it look like? It's approximately
12" long with a 2 ½”
bulbous head. The controls consisted
of one button with high and low settings.
The power cord is approximately 48"
long, which was long enough to plug
in near my headboard, and gave me
adequate room for moving around the
bed.
My
first concern was the sound. In all
honesty - it does sound like a buzz
saw. Okay, maybe not quite that loud,
but it is loud enough that I turned
in on, left it on my bed covered with
the quilt and then went to the kid's
rooms to see if I could hear it. In
my case, I could not hear it from
there, but I still think the noise
might be enough of a distraction that
you should probably check it out ahead
of time so you won't have to worry
complaint calls from the neighbors.
Usually
I will use a lubricant with my toys,
but I wanted to try this first without
it. This toy is not designed to be
directly inserted; it is used primarily
for clitoral and vulva stimulation.
The vibration this toy offers is intense
- extremely strong. I appreciated
the fact that I could choose between
high and low. Manipulating the controls
were as easy as sliding my finger
from one side of the switch to the
other. Maneuvering the Wand itself
though was a bit oxy. I found that
standing it on end and using a blanket
to help hold it upright allowed me
to move my hips against the vibrating
head. However, that meant that the
sound from the vibration was transferred
to the bed, which made it sound even
louder.
I
will admit that my first orgasm from
this toy was a shock! It was so intense
and happened so fast that it took
me by surprise.
The
next time I took it out for a drive,
I used a lubricant, and I found that
it still offered great sensations,
but they were not quite as intense.
I was able to hold it more directly
on my clitoris without having to pull
it away because of the intensity.
But make sure you don't have any lubricant
on the hand that you intend to use
to hold the Wand though, because the
body of the Wand is smooth, and with
lube on your hand it's difficult to
hold onto.
I
did find that the strength of the
vibration sometimes caused me to become
numb, which isn't exactly what your
objective should be. It makes reaching
orgasm a bit more difficult when you
cannot feel anything. But if you hold
it on the clitoris for a bit, then
moved it around before coming back
to the clit that it worked a lot better.
The
two attachments the G Cap and the
Gee Whizz are similar in that they
both fit snuggly over the head of
the Hitachi Magic Wand and have appendages
that are designed for insertion into
the vagina. But that is about all
they have in common.
The
G Cap is the less expensive of the
two attachments. It is made of firm
yet flexible rubber. The part that
is intended for insertion is approximately
4 ½” long and about 1”
in diameter. Because it is firm it
is easy to slide into position - especially
with a little added lube. Finding
the correct position for optimum enjoyment
with this toy did take a bit of work
because with the attachment on, the
whole toy is heavier on one end, so
being able to put the tip right where
you want it is fairly important.
The
Gee Whizz is made of silicone, and
looks more like a penis. Not a huge
penis (approximately 4” x 1 ½”).
It’s just long enough to be able
to reach the g-spot. Because this
one is made of silicone, it is softer,
and I found it harder to maneuver
into a position where it did stimulate
the g-spot.
There
is a substantial difference in cost
between the two attachments - with
the G Cap selling for about $15 and
the Gee Whizz selling for about $48.
After testing the two, I found that
the G Cap worked better for me.
What did I like the best about the
Hitachi Magic Wand? No batteries.
Not a one in sight. It delivered a
constant level of vibration without
having to worry about when the batteries
were going to die on me.
What’s
it all add up to?
The important thing to keep in mind
when considering purchasing this toy
is what exactly do you want this toy
to do? Do you want it purely for clitoral
stimulation? It works great for that.
Do you want to use it like a vibrating
dildo? It works good for that too.
Do you want to use it for anal stimulation
- externally without the attachments
or internally with the attachments?
Externally it works very well for
stimulating the anal area, but if
you want to use it internally with
one of the attachments, it might work
easier if you had a partner to help
you.
