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
Whiz is made of silicone, and looks
more like a penis. Not a huge penis (approximately
4 x 1 ½). Its 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.
Whats
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.
