Guide Review - Hitachi Magic Wand

The Hitachi Magic Wand is a classic vibrator that is usually listed as one of the top selling vibrators by higher end sex toy stores. It is designed as a full body massager, but it has a soft head about the size of a tennis ball, and is great for sexual stimulation.

Out of the box, the Hitachi Magic Wand is made for external stimulation only, but several companies have designed attachments that fit over the head of the toy and can be used for penetration (they are all safe for vaginal or anal penetration).

While some people are intimidated by the size and power of the Hitachi Magic Wand, as you begin to use it, it feels neither unwieldy nor too strong. Even the sound, which at first seems loud, melts into the background as you begin to use it. For people who need to build up to the power, you can put a towel between yourself and the head of the massager. It’s also recommended to start using it all over your body, and slowly bring it to your more sensitive parts.

For more ideas on using the Hitachi Magic Wand, the small book The Good Vibrations Guide to Vibrators is highly recommended.
