I chose this attachment to try with the Hitachi as an anal toy. I stretched it over the Hitachi’s head, put a condom over it entirely, lubed it up and inserted it anally. This was difficult. The beaded protrusion is way too short to fit comfortably between my butt cheeks let alone be long enough to really go into my anus past the sphincter muscles. On top of the shortness limitation, it was too flimsy and squishy to achieve successful penetration. Anal beads themselves can pose a problem with inserting them anally because they are squishy, but this attachment was a real pain in the ass (hah) to insert because I also had to hold onto the heavy, bulky, corded Hitachi while doing so. I felt that it wasn’t worth the struggle, and it was seriously a struggle. I looked ridiculous trying to do this, as you can surely imagine. This would be easier to insert into someone else’s anus.

This beaded wand attachment was less disappointing with vaginal insertion because it was easier to operate alone. It was still not very pleasurable; the fact that I could insert the small beaded shaft into my vagina more easily did not provide me with any notable pleasure. Its flimsiness and size did not significantly enhance the experience of using the Hitachi. The attachment’s protrusion had limited functionality.

However, one feature I found useful was that I used the beaded shaft to move my vaginal juices up to my clitoris. This was extremely useful for reapplying lubricant to my labia, which is  great because if I do not lubricate well enough, the irritation my genitals experience is really quite painful. Additionally, I found that pressing the beaded shaft against my clitoris was also better than using the Hitachi alone, because it dampened the vibrations just enough to delay irritation.

This was a success, albeit a small one that can be achieved by other wand attachments too.

This beaded wand attachment is said to have the following features:

• Material: Thermoplastic rubber
• Insertable length: 4 inches
• Product length: 6 inches
• Circumference: 8 inches
• Submersible in water
• Flexible
• Latex-free and phthalates-free

Because I thought this product was silicone due to being mislabeled, I performed a flame test to determine if this toy was 100% silicone. I did this by holding a flame at the base of this toy to see what the reaction was. Because this product melted, it is not a food or medical grade silicone, meaning it is porous to some degree. This remains true being TPR: it is a porous material. Due to this finding, if you own this attachment, I would recommend using condoms with this product to ensure maximum safety. While you can wash this toy with soap and water, it cannot be disinfected. Often materials that are porous can also be toxic, but this isn’t always the case. Because this beaded attachment doesn’t have an odor or an icky feel to it, I think it is non-toxic.

As you can see, the material melted along the rim.

One of the reasons I want an attachment for my Hitachi is because the Hitachi head is also porous, meaning that it can harbor bacteria over time and can pose a health risk in the future. As this attachment is also porous, then it poses the same problem and same health risk.

The packaging for this toy was a Lovehoney white cardboard box, which I liked. It was not offensive, excessive or tacky. No storage container came with this beaded wand attachment.

I received the Hitachi Magic Wand as a gift from a lovely reader out in the interwebs. Talk about a wonderful surprise! Thank you!

I have known of the Hitachi for a few years now, and while it has been gushed over by many folks (pun always intended), I admit, I was skeptical at first. My long track record of clitoral orgasms have been vastly accomplished by my hand rather than any toy, vibrator, or other person.

Be warned: the Hitachi is powerful–it runs on electricity. It has two settings and even its LOW setting is at least twice as powerful as most battery-operated clitoral vibrators or other massage wands out on the market. While this power is also its identifying feature, I warn you that it can be harmful as well. The Hitachi can, and in many cases will, irritate your genitals.

My first encounter with the Hitachi resulted in pain. The irritation caused me to seriously freak out. No joke. I did not use the Hitachi with any lubricant on my vulva, and I did not place any towel barriers in-between my genitals and the Hitachi as padding protection. Lube up, and then lube up some more. This will help protect your vulva from getting irritated as quickly by the sheer intensity of this wand. If your clitoris is sensitive, then try using bath towels as barriers.

My follow-up encounters with the Hitachi resulted in milder pain (irritation) at times, but mostly incredible, crazy-intense pleasure. I don’t even use the Hitachi for more than a minute or two, and once it hits, I just want more. But then I get so hyper-sensitive that I can barely stand to use the wand for any longer. And then I still hang on for a few more seconds, because I am a glutton for punishment.

The Hitachi is very simply a tool used to get off, and it’s great at what it does. If I need a powerful orgasm, I use it, then put it away for a week or two. It’s good that the orgasms are quick with the Hitachi, because the longer you use it in one go, the more guaranteed irritation is going to happen. I don’t recommend maintaining genital contact for over a few minutes straight, if you can help it, and especially if your genitals get irritated.

Getting worn out is guaranteed from the sheer strength of the orgasms, and the more frequently you use it, the more desensitized your genitals/clitoris may feel. This is a temporary reaction, and the same can be said for masturbating in general too much. If it takes longer for you to orgasm, take a break from it–be it a few hours, days, weeks–and then have at it again. If you wait a few days in-between rounds using the Hitachi, your clitoris will respond more readily to its vibration.

For me, ideal usage would be at MOST weekly. While the Hitachi warrants a certain level of awareness, I am certainly not surprised when I hear that it helps many people achieve powerful orgasms, regardless of their usual masturbatory methods or preferences. I prefer using the Hitachi in conjunction with a dildo inserted vaginally; I like having both the G-spot and clitoris stimulated simultaneously.

Here’s the details:

• Dimensions: 9 inch handle, 2.5 inch head, 6 foot power cord
• Material: Plastic and Vinyl.
• Safety: Non-toxic; head is porous material
• Free of phathalates and latex
• Not waterproof
• Cleaning: wash detachable head with soap and water

Functional dislikes: I hate that the Hitachi needs plugged in. The cord isn’t long enough. I wish the Wand came with more modern packaging and a storage sleeve to cover the head. The Hitachi is large and bulky with limited functionality–it is for external use only unless you purchase an attachment. The head is porous, so it can harbor bacteria.

Heed my warnings, but do I think it’s worth trying a Hitachi Magic Wand? Yes, I do. Have I had as intense orgasms through other means of stimulation? Yes I have, but they have taken much longer to achieve.

Tell me–what have your experiences been like with the Hitachi? I’d love to hear about how you use this beast of a vibrator. xoxo
