Hitachi Magic Wand Review
Today’s review is a special one, folks! It’s near and dear to my heart (and other areas of my body) and it’s been one of my favorites and easily one of my go-to vibrators when I’m not reviewing any toys.
Today’s review is about a toy that belongs to the upper echelons of the sex toy hierarchy because it has revolutionized the way the world sees sex toy usage.
From a historical sense, I don’t think it’s an understatement to say that this toy is a staple in the fight for body positivity, destigmatized sex in society and definitely female empowerment.
What toy am I even rambling on about, you might ask? I’m talking about the one and only, tried and true vibrator: the Hitachi Magic Wand.
For starters, you might be surprised to know that this vibrator is pretty pretty old, but has aged beautifully.
It was first released in 1968, but advertised as a "personal massager," which is pretty hilarious considering what it’s used for today. It definitely can be used as a massage item, sure, but the reason you’re reading this article is because you’re trying to take care of your body’s other needs, which are infinitely more fun than the aches and pains of sore muscles.
Anyway, with its long and storied history, it comes to no surprise that the Hitachi Magic Wand eventually found other, and much more enjoyable, uses below the waist, giving women some clitoral based release after years of crappier sex toys. Over the years, Hitachi has redeveloped the Magic Wand many times, dabbling in lighter materials, more durable construction, stronger motors and different appearances. As technology evolved, so did the Hitachi Magic Wand.
In this review I’ll take a look at our vibrating little friend in terms of what it is and its design and measurements. I’ll walk you through how to use it and let you know my own experience and findings while using the vibrator. To cap it all off, I’ll give you a pro and cons list about it because I know you’d rather be doing the nasty with yourself instead of just reading about the damn thing!
About the Hitachi Magic Wand
Started as a personal massager and now we are here.
Regardless of what Hitachi’s original intention was, the Hitachi Magic Magic Wand has emerged as a titan of industry within the vibrator sex toy market worldwide.
With a simple click of a button, you can have the vibrator’s soft head vibrating intensely against your clit, giving you deeply satisfying orgasms in no time.
Being a completely compatible vibrator to use during sex or just as a solo masturbating session, it is definitely multi-purpose and has the potential to give you that one orgasm that you need to make it through the day or the entire week.
I mean, I guess you could use it as a personal massager too, but that’s entirely your call.
Hitachi Magic Wand Design and Measurements
The Hitachi Magic Wand will definitely bring out your inner, sexually-fueled version of Hermione Granger because of its wand-like appearance and the sexual magic that it provides.
If you’re being more literal, it resembles a mix between a microphone and a wand--it has a straight body and a rounded top, with a thin section in between the two to make sure that the vibrations are felt only at the head.
In terms of length, the Hitachi can be a bit much, but it definitely does its job magnificently and depending on the context of its use, the length can be a huge help, which I will elaborate on later. The entire vibrator is 12” long, so you know it means business--no subtly or hiding here!
Its head is 2” tall and 2.5” wide, giving you more than enough room to vibrate along the entire exterior of your little kitty cat.
The large head is great for all types of play, whether you want only your clit to be rocked, or if you want to rest the Hitachi along the entirety of your vag, the vibrator’s head is large enough to completely suffocate your happy spots and leave your body shaking even after you’re done using it.
Along its straight body are 3 simple buttons. Some vibrators can get very tricky to use, but the Hitachi Magic Wand’s design makes sure that you can get your big finish (or finishes) without getting too confused by any off-putting technological difficulties. You really can’t go wrong here, as there is a button for higher intensity, another button for lower intensity, and finally the on/off power button.
Attached to the bottom is its six foot long power cord, which you would simply plug into an input to make the toy ready for you. Because of its cord, you will never have to worry about battery power or any annoying recharging times--all you have to do is plug it in and start your journey to O-town.
Using the Hitachi Magic Wand
I mentioned earlier how the Hitachi Magic Wand is meant for external play only, but don’t get discouraged because with a little creativity and imagination, it can be used in tandem with a penetrative toy, or during sex.
So, say you’re just chilling and the thought of something really hot just comes out of nowhere. You’re suddenly in the mood and you whip out your Hitachi. What do you do next?
Before even starting your masturbation session, make sure you lube up your Hitachi and that you’re warmed up yourself, whether it’s from naturally being wet or using lube or saliva on yourself.
Now that it’s well lubricated and you’re ready to go, to begin, simply plug your Hitachi into a wall outlet or power bar. Because it doesn’t run on batteries or Bluetooth connectivity, your vibrator will be ready to use once you plug it in. Turn it on and get comfy.
When it’s on, you’ll notice that the entire head rotates around pretty freaking fast. You can adjust your speeds by playing around with the intensity buttons on the Hitachi’s shaft, and then you would hold it with the vibrator’s head faced down and against your clit, labia or both.
Once you’ve found a comfortable position and that your Hitachi is right where you want it to be, you can easily hold it there and increase the vibration speed if you so desire.
When it comes to cleaning, the Hitachi is pretty simple, as all you will need is warm water and your standard sex toy cleaner for the head. If you’re a squirter or had a particularly wet session and the Hitachi’s body needs some cleaning, don’t submerge the entire vibrator under water as it can lead to electrocution. Instead, get a damp cloth and clean the desired areas. To dry your Hitachi, you can air dry it or use a lint-free cloth to gently wipe the vibrator.
Hitachi Tips
Keep in mind that the Hitachi is an industrial-grade vibrator, so its motor is really, really strong. A good tip is to keep the toy moving around so that you can avoid that feeling of vibration numbness well after you’re done using the toy. I love starting at my clit, slowly moving down my labia, slowly moving back up and then returning to my clit. It’s a great way to tease myself a little and to avoid that post-nut numbness.
While on the topic of really strong motors, if you have a really sensitive clit or are brand new to vibrators, you may find the Hitachi to be less enjoyable than others--but fear not, there are ways to help yourself out!
Obviously, you can lower the vibration settings, but if that’s still too strong, you can use some fabric as a barrier or buffer. You can put on your sexy panties and use the Hitachi over that, or you can be rustic and use a blanket, shirt, or any type of clothing.
I mentioned earlier that the Hitachi’s bigger size isn’t always a bad thing. Sure, it’s harder to conceal, but if you live alone, with your partner or you just don’t care who knows what you’re up to, you can hold your vibrator further up on its body, away from the head, so that you can use another toy while using the vibrator.
I loved keeping my hand farther away from the head because I could freely introduce another toy into the session without my arm getting in the way. If you’re using your Hitachi while having sex with a partner, you can easily give the toy to them and let them take over.
Again, with its long body, you or your partner can easily hold it closer to the bottom of the body so it won’t get in the way of either of your movements. I found it easy to be in doggystyle, holding the toy against my clit, and getting railed from behind--I could still rest my arm on the bed and hold the toy against my clit, instead of my arm getting tired.
Post-Cum Clarity
The Hitachi Magic Wand is easily my go-to vibrator for whenever I’m not reviewing any other toys. I love how versatile it is--being able to use it during sex or as a combination with other sex toys--and I appreciate the fact that I don’t have to worry about batteries or recharging. Admittedly, it can be a bit of a bummer to only be within sex feet from a plug--sometimes I wish it was wireless so I could use it wherever I feel like it.
Using my tips mentioned above, I could really enjoy the Hitachi. Sometimes I’ll get carried away and keep it directly at my clit, giving me the post vibration shakes for a few minutes, but that’s pretty standard for most vibrators.
I found it to be a bit on the noisy side, but as mentioned earlier, this vibrator is meant for business, not for concealment or secretive pleasure. All things considered, this vibrator is indisputably an amazing purchase.
