History of the Hitachi Magic Wand
Did you know that during the Victorian Era women were sexually repressed? While that may come as no surprise, the fact that women's sexual arousal was called a "disorder" may. Yes, it was medically termed Hysteria, and became an epidemic among white, middle-classed women during the 19th century, as a chronic and recurring disorder. One must remember that in those days, society was seriously uptight about sexuality, and even went so far as to cover the legs of their tables for prudence sake. God forbid a gentleman see the wooden ankle of a table leg and become aroused in mixed company!
Hysteria was rampant among women 15 to 30 years and was "the most common of all diseases except fevers." Its "symptoms" were many, including anything from irregular breathing, flushed cheeks, and muscle spasms, to a violently beating heart, excessive lubrication of the genitals and sexual fantasies. Passionate women were even more vulnerable to the disorder. No-one suspected that they were really just horny and sexually frustrated!
Treatment for Hysteria
Doctors were clever enough to come up with a temporary treatment however. It involved manual genital massage to encourage the patient to reach "hysterical paroxysm" or orgasm. Paroxysm would result in the "breaking of the fever" as well as the pressure and congestion in the womb which would release as fluid from the vagina. However, treating women by hand, could sometimes take hours, and was much too time-consuming, not to mention the carpal tunnel these doctors must have suffered from!
So a "miracle" cure was invented: a medical device called the vibrator; an amazing time-saving contraption that could relieve their patients' symptoms in just a few minutes. Soon, ads in Sears and Roebuck catalogs marketed vibrators covertly, praising them for providing "30,000 thrilling, invigorating, penetrating, revitalizing penetrations per minute" so all "the pleasures of youth will throb within you."
Enter the Hitachi Magic Wand
While the Hitachi Magic Wand was not the first vibrator to be invented, it is certainly the oldest one that is still being used today. It first appeared on the market during the 1970's, and like it predecessors, was promoted as vibrating muscle relaxer, "for soothing and relaxing sore muscles and nerves, and relieving tension."
Lovingly nicknamed the "Cadillac of Vibrators," the Hitachi Magic Wand remains the most powerful clitoral and vulva sexual massager on the market today. And, while it could never be called sexy, and doesn't sport cute bunny ears, what matters most to the women who swear by it, is that it works.
Betty Dodson, a feminist and sexologist, defied patriarchal notions of female sexuality during the 70s and encouraged women to masturbate using the Hitachi Vibrator. Since then, thousands of women have been singing the praises of this modest looking sex toy, in loud orgasmic voices.
This is because seventy percent of women orgasm via clitoral stimulation, and don't climax from penetration. An estimated thirty to forty percent of women can't climax at all. Many sex counselors promote the use of the Hitachi Vibrator to women who have trouble reaching orgasm, or find it hard to get sexually aroused.
For the modern sex savvy girl, the Hitachi is really where it's at. While all the innovative sex toys on the market are interesting -- from pleasure objects to pocket rockets -- none can truly compare to the Hitachi Magic Wand when it comes to power.
The Hitachi Magic Wand has two speeds: Intense and Ultra Intense. It is the most powerful intimate massager I have ever tried. I have used several other plug-in massagers as well as rechargeable ones, none of which can match the Hitachi. For many women, like a very good friend of mine, it may be the only vibrator that will get them off at all.
Yes, it is heavy, it plugs-in, is loud and not too pretty. But, for the ultimate in vibrating intensity and dependability, the Hitachi Vibrator is the Queen of female orgasms. That is why after 40 years, it is still the best selling plug-in sexual massager on the market.
So, ladies, if you haven't tried the Hitachi Vibrator yet, it is time to step out of the dark ages and find out what the hype is all about for yourself. Vavoom!

One word....,
Amazing!!! Definitely a girl's best friend.
Best vibrations ever!
By Dental Diva
I bought the Hitachi several years ago (along with the g-spot attachment) and it continues to be my favorite vibrator ever. The power behind this toy is AMAZING. No penis vibrator could possibly compare. Just thinking about the vibes that this thing puts out is making me wet... The only thing I would mention, is that this is NOT discrete. Don't think that you can get away with using this baby without letting your roommates know exactly what you are up to. The noise level is pretty high. But, if that doesn't matter to you, then I would ABSOLUTELY recommend this massager.
Best GIFT EVER
By Logan74
Got it as a gift for a friend... let's just say she LOVES it. Now I'm just worried about the spike in her power bill. Folks, this "magic wand" was first introduced in the 70's and has stood the test of time! How many toys do you know have their own Wikipedia entries?!?
Great for Men Too!
By The Sweet Honey Pot.com
I originally bought this for my wife, then she had the idea of using it on me. WOW!! The sensation of it vibrating around my head and tip made me cum again and again! Great product even for men! A must buy!!
Must have
I love this toy! I ordered it online a little over a year ago and it's still going strong. It can be a bit on the noisy side but I've learned that there are certain ways to use it that make it less so. Above all, it's got serious power and can never be replaced in my book. I'll never need anything but this and highly recommend it to anyone. It's good solo and with a partner, various positions. It's five stars all the way around.
Magic Wand is THE BEST! you never need anything else if you get this!
By Miss Mandi
So I got this because I saw videos of other women using them. I was really really (did I say really yet?) impressed with the results. I wear vibrators out like nobody's business and batteries just go flying out the window for me. So, I ordered it when I made an order for Miss Mandi's. I was so excited that as soon as I opened the packaging box, I ran to the bedroom! I literally ran! Hah! The Hitachi Magic Wand was created 25 years ago for the purpose of relaxation and rehabilitation after surgery. Today it is one of the most popular vibrating hand-held massagers on the market. It is considered the Rolls Royce of all personal hand held massagers. There is no doubt that this is the best electronic personal massager. The Hitachi Magic Wand Massager has two speeds, 0 – 6,000 rpm and 0 – 5,000 rpm (rotations per minute). Both are great. For my parties I like to turn it on both settings and just press it into the table I am working off of. I get a lot of "OMGS!" on lo. Then I get even more when I do it on Hi. The cord is very short, but an extension cord takes care of that if need be. But because it is so powerful it can overheat in 25 minutes and takes 15 minutes to cool down. It has a good grip and feels good in your hand; it doesn't feel like it would slip out of your hands with normal use. The handle is well designed and has a slight contour which gives the user firm control. Now the Good and Bad about the Hitachi Magic wand. Good: Super powerful on Lo Great for women and men Really does work well as a massager for your back and other tired and sore muscles Super soft head that is also large to cover the entire area, not just part. In case you didn't know, the area is actually larger than just the small little nub, the more of it that you massage, the more intense the orgasm. You can buy a variety of attachments to cover the head. Can be used over clothing if you are in a hurry Since it is essentially a body massager, it is discreet and if you forget to hide it and someone finds it, don't worry, nobody will know. Bad: It is heavy! On the good side it is large, but that is also not a good thing too. Plug in cord is short Can be cumbersome and get in the way when using during couples play Can be overly powerful if you are super sensitive down there! Only has lo and hi settings, but you can buy an adjuster (sold separately) if you would like to Since it is so powerful it can overheat and does need time to cool off. Which is expected when you have such power in a relatively small package. Overall, I think its great for many reasons and uses. I have really bad tension in my neck and shoulders and use it to loosen that up. It can be used to massage your feet after a long day. I just love my Magic Wand and is my go-to when I just can't get myself to enough arousal.
Why, hello there, my name is HV-250R, but you can call me Magic Wand.
By Constance&Eric
The Hitachi Magic Wand (HV-250R) is a dual speed, duel purpose devilish device of delights. This frisky friend from the east first appeared on our shores in the 1970s. The stated use of the Magic Wand is for soothing and relaxing sore muscles and nerves, relieving tension, and rehabilitation after sports injuries. The box even shows all sorts of leotarded lasses using it's 2.5" head to sooth the muscle aches of a vigorous aerobics class. Sounds nice right? Well, it gets better, much better. Imagine if you will the sweet middle aged couple in middle America, white picket fence, station wagon, 2&1/2 kids, dog, the works. Perhaps he is the neighborhood mailman and she works part time in an office and they are both involved in the PTA and bake often. Softball games, cookouts, Sunday mass, Tupperware parties, you get the picture. Now, imagine you just happen to be lost in "that" part of town ( because we know you would NEVER venture there on purpose ;) and you pass the couples club that is only spoken of at night in hushed tines behind closed doors. Imagine your surprise when you see Mr & Mrs Apple Pie walking out the back, her hair in tangles, mascara running, and puffy lips, Mr AP is sporting a way too tight pair of leather pants, mysterious black duffel bag in tow, and they are both dazed and grinning ear to ear. That is the Hitachi you don't see on the box. By and large, the Magic Wand's #1 all time most popular use is as a sex toy, and what a sex toy it is. With vibration rates of 5,000 and 6,000 rpm, the rocker control switch let's you go from " hold on, lemme get used to it" to " HOOOOLYYYYY SHIIIIIIT!!!" with just the flick of a thumb, coaxing out even The most stubborn of orgasms. It has various aftermarket attachments including a penetration sleeve and a forced orgasm belt which locks the device in place (on ONE of our wish lists). The plug in feature means no one will ever suspect your little secret when they go to change the TV channel and find a battery-less remote. It gets better, the Hitachi Magic Wand is also doctor approved! Many physicians speak of it's benefits as a genital sensitivity enhancer and a marital aid, it even holds the Betty Dodson seal of approval. So go out, get yourself a magic wand, and find out how this little split personality "massager" got it's name. Best of luck uncurling your toes! XOXO, Constance & Eric
TOTALLY ORGASMIC, March 25, 2011
This is, by and far, the best sex toy ever invented. It has two speeds, moaning and SCREAMING YOUR HEAD OFF!!! And it's not just the women that scream their heads off when this machine delivers mind-blowing orgasms, us men can definitely benefit from this product. I use this every night on my cock and I have to cover my face so my neighbors don't hear me scream at the top of my lungs. The orgasms are mind scrambling! If you want the best orgasms of your life, this is the machine for you.
good to go, March 19, 2011
By Lee
This is a powerful "massager". There are 2 speeds - it is a little noisy. I bought an attachment that goes over the head (sold separately) and am quite satisfied with it (that's what she said :) )
Amazing!, March 19, 2011
By K&V
This product is great and is shipped to us really fast. We were so excited when we got it and used it right away. It's so strong, stronger than anything I've ever felt before. I can only really handle the low setting right now, it gets me super sensitive and I cum really fast. Also I put it on my man's gooch and he got hard so fast. He loved it when I gave him head while doing this. It's fun for both, really worth the price.
It'll Be Your Best Friend!, March 18, 2011
By Talianna
My last Hitachi Magic Wand finally died after nearly 6 years of consistent use back in December. My husband had to take it from me and throw it away because I was trying to figure out how to rewire it. I cringed at spending that kind of money with Christmas coming up and bought a little cheap-o one. BIG MISTAKE! With the magic wand, I rarely ever needed to turn it to the high setting, and within just a few minutes, I'd be on my second or third orgasm. Now, after several months of frustration with the cheapie knockoff, I'm about to order a new magic wand. I won't be without one this long again!
Yes Sir!, February 7, 2011
By Lea
This is a wonderful vibrator. It has two speeds, strong and super-strong. For those into a bit of BDSM, this is a must-have for all parties involved. This isn't just for the females, but requires great care in using on the males in the group. The strength of the vibration can be too much too quickly for the penis, but using behind the balls with a gentle pulsing pressure is sure to drive a guy over the moon. We love ours. And really, all the comments about a short cord? Just be prepared with an extension. Nothing battery powered has this kind of power, so I'll happily put up with a bit of cord inconvenience. Totally worth it, and you can get attachments, too.
The Queen of the Vibrators, December 30, 2010
By EssinEm
This is not made for first time vibrator users, or those that like just a little hint of sensation. However, if you are like me and prefer the weapons grade sex toys, then I say full steam ahead for this vibrator. As I tell people, it has an "orgasmic" function and then an "earthquake" function. It's AMAZING. I have one for home, one for travel, and one in case one breaks. You can't go wrong!
My favorite vibe ever. Period., December 26, 2010
By V.T.T
It's big, loud, clunky and isn't the prettiest vibe on the block...However, the Hitachi is a powerhouse that seriously blows all other 'massagers' I've ever used right out of the water. It is truly a tried and true favorite, definitely my go-to vibe for everything. There are no batteries to replace since it plugs into the wall (plus the cord is nice and long.) It has two speeds, super strong and holyfuckthatsstrong. Not to mention it is rugged, I think I'll have this for years to come and it sees A LOT of action. This is the vibe to end all vibes and I LOVE IT.
Orgasm in 60 SECONDS!!!!, December 9, 2010
By Nasti Girl
This is hands downs the best vibrator made. If you are a clitoral person, invest in one of these. I ALWAYS have a orgasm when I use this toy. It also works well as a back massager. My boyfriend even enjoys using this toy on me and he is not even into using toys!!! Buy it!!! I guarantee you will LOVE IT!!!!!
Very Fast Vibration But a Little Too Big, May 4, 2010
By cazee
The speed of vibration is much faster than an average vibrator. It is a little big and bulky for my taste, but if you want to vibrate a larger area with a fast vibration-this is your toy!
WOW, March 1, 2010
By Del , (Louisville)
I was curious when I read the reviews so I decided to try it out for myself. I blind folded my wife and gave it to her on LOW. When she came close to orgasm, I switched it on high. She came so hard, she knocked over the lamp and kicked me in the head! Beware, it's not so quiet and you may sustain head injuries! WOW a definite buy!!!!
Love it!, December 4, 2009
By Jack Smith
Great product.
Awesome, October 21, 2009
By Staff Pick - Deanne
Hitachi Magic Wand is the unparalleled, ultimate vibrating massage wand. It's ultra powerful with two modes of vibration; one low and one high. The low is good speed for beginners, as the high is in a stratosphere you need to graduate to over several sessions. Plugs into the wall so you never have to fiddle with battery replacement issues. Use it solo or with a partner. The vinyl ball head is flexible, soft and will most likely become your best friend when your lover isn't around.

This is a fantastic product. One of my fans bought it as a replacement for one that broke. It gives me mind numbing orgasms!!! Soooo hot!
Review of Hitachi Magic Wand, April 12, 2009
Let me tell you, this massager is a mind scrambler. Works for both women and men. When I first used it, I had an orgasm unlike any I have ever had. And it still delivers incredible orgasms. Absolutely worth every dollar and cent I spent.
Review of Hitachi Magic Wand Vibrator, April 11, 2009
This is a replacement. I use it only and miss it on vacation. It is definitely worth the price. Even if you have never used a massager before you will get comfortable with this one extremely fast.

It was very strong, but it didnt do a thing for me. I was expecting amazing and I got...well, numb. XD
Review of Hitachi Magic Wand Vibrator
Too noisy to be discreet, however definitly gives a buzz. Gets hot after using for too long, but thats just physics. Would be nice to have more than 2 speeds. I like not having to worry about the battery dying!!!

By hornyoahucpl4u
ItÂ's hard to find superlatives that match this toys performance. We met Sue when they were visiting from Canada. Sue has a very hard time reaching orgasm. Not anymore! We introduced her to Mr. Hitachi! She had more screaming orgasms in the next half hour then she had in her 40+ years! My wife loves it and uses it every week. Her friends love it as well! It gets a regular workout when we throw a party as well! Best toy in the chest by far! Feels pretty darn good on me too!
Review of Hitachi Magic Wand Vibrator
By Kimberly Wu
This toy gives stuperfyingly intense orgasms. I even chipped a tooth as I tensed and clenched my jaws so hard with the extacy I was feeling. Its worth much more than the $50 price tag. I use the vibrator in different ways but a favorite that may be of interest is on my stepping machine with it tucked down the front of my leotard. The head nuzzels on the top of my area and moves when I step. A twenty minute workout and an orgasm makes me feel great.

By richylick
I bought this for the gf about three months ago. This is by far the most effective orgasm giver we have. An unexpected treat was when she used this on me. It felt great on my cock, balls and perinium, but it blew my mind when she used it on my asshole. What a fantastic toy for both!!!!
