Hitachi Magic Wand

We’ve talked about the Hitachi Magic Wand before, but I don’t think we’ve ever really given it the attention it warrants.  I mean, this is THE vibrator that all other vibes inevitably are compared to before being deemed a lesser product!  If you google “Hitachi Magic Wand,” you’ll find legions of women who praise this toy.  It even has it’s own facebook and twitter accounts!  Of course, some of you many need a little more convincing, so I’ve done a little research for all of the skeptics out there.

While there’s no doubt women were using this to get off from the day they hit the department store shelves, the Hitachi owes a lot of it’s popularity to Betty Dodson.  She’s been a champion of women’s sexuality longer than I’ve been alive and basically responsible for teaching women to masturbate in America.  She’s so important to women owning their sexuality that I can imagine women 50 years from now visiting her hitachi shaped grave stone on some sort of pro-sex pilgrimage.  You can (and should) check out her website, but here’s a little excerpt about this vibe:

This vibrator is sold as an electric body massager. Although there are many electric vibrators on the market now, the Wand is my personal favorite. This sturdy and reliable machine is great for relaxing and soothing sore muscles throughout the entire body. The therapeutic vibrations bring a new supply of blood to any area being massaged including the genitals. Once I discovered how great this vibrator was for sexual pleasure, I started buying them by the case to share with the women in my original Bodysex groups. Since the early seventies I have recommended the Magic Wand without being paid for my endorsement.

Of course, Betty Dodson is just one woman, so let me talk about one of my favorite porn stars, Nina Hartley.  She’s been in the adult industry since the early 80s and an advocate for women’s sexuality almost as long.  If you’ve seen any of her amazing instructional videos, I’m sure you will agree with me when I say that she’s a very knowledgeable women when it comes to getting off!  Well, Ms. Hartley is such a huge fan that she took the time to write a love letter to the Hitachi Magic Wand, describing it as “the durable workhorse of pleasure.”

If two women who have dedicated their lives to making sure every day ladies like myself have better sex swear by the Hitachi Magic Wand, who are we to question them!

5. Athena Waterpoof Mini Massager – This one is proof that good things sometimes come in small packages! You may have seen it mentioned on Oprah, who apparently is all about sex toys now… This one is great because it’s powerful and portable.

Hitachi Magic Wand

With an operational life of one to three decades, depending on who you ask, no batteries required and the ability to bring pleasure over and over again, the Hitachi Magic Wand is not a typical sex toy.  But it’s longevity and design make it greener than most.  From Vibratex:

“For over 30 years, the Hitachi Magic Wand has set the standard for personal hand-held massagers. The soft spherical head gives a soothing massage, operated by a two speed switch located on the Wand’s slender handle.

Unlike cordless style massagers, the Magic Wand’s strong electric motor is powered using a standard cord/plug, providing a constant power source for those extended massage sessions.

Operation lasts about 25 mins with 5,000 vibrations per min. on low and 6,000 vibrations per min. on high. 20 Watts Please note that this product cannot be shipped to counttries outside of the United States because there is risk of harm in using it with voltage converters.”

So go green for St. Patrick’s day with an eco-friendly sex toy that you’ll enjoy for years to come.
