What Sets Hitachi Magic Wands Apart from Other Wand Vibrators

There are many magic wand vibrators on the market today, but the Hitachi Magic Wand is the original inspiration!

  • Invented back in 1968, this device was originally marketed as a massager, but thanks to sex advocate Betty Dodson, quickly became known as a Hitachi vibrator.
  • Referenced often in pop culture, the Hitachi wand has an iconic look that nearly everyone can recognize.
  • Of course, it’s known for more than its looks: the Magic Wand toys are all capable of running at speeds of up to 6,000 RPMs.
  • Another fun fact? These powerful wand massager devices are also listed as medical devices, according to the FDA!

 

Corded vs Rechargeable

If you’re looking for a powerful wand massager then Hitachi has four models for you to choose from that are split into two categories: corded and rechargeable.

Corded:

The corded models (Original and Plus) offer 6-6.3k RPMs, require a wall outlet to use, and both include a 6-ft. wall outlet that should give you enough room to work with. Since they don’t have an internal battery, you can expect to enjoy years of use from these models!

Rechargeable:

For rechargeable models, you can choose between the Mini and the Rechargeable, the latter of which is a larger model. Offering up to 2.5 and 3 hours of battery life on a charge, these models combine power with portability, but—since they rely on an internal battery—likely won’t outlast their corded alternatives.

 

Special Warning: Very Powerful!

Some people will be satisfied with the up-to-6,300 RPMs that the Hitachi wand can provide. However, many women actually find this powerful wand massager to be a little too powerful. If you’re the type of gal who’s happy using a lightweight bullet vibrator then the Hitachi might be overwhelming, especially on the higher speeds. Don’t believe us? Well then, we’d invite you to read out tester’s review of the Magic Wand Rechargeable.

A Closer Look at the Magic Wand Rechargeable

The Magic Wand Rechargeable is a cordless version of the Magic Wand Original, with a few tweaks to the design. It features four levels of intensity, four patterns, and sports a comfortable silicone head.

No need to worry about power, either. It may not be mains-powered, but still delivers a bone shaking 6,300 RPM of pure vibrating pleasure!

The cordless model adds the convenience of a plug-and-play feature – if you forgot to put it on charge last time, you can turn it into a corded model, and it’ll work right away.

Pros

  • High-powered
  • Rechargeable
  • Plug and play when the battery runs out
  • Easy to control
  • Silicone head

Cons

  • Very loud
  • Too powerful for some
  • Not waterproof
  • A lot of contraindicated health issues

What it is: Buzzy vibrators have a high frequency that stimulates the surface (like a high pitch).

What it is: Rumbly vibrators have low-frequency vibrations that stimulate deeper into the tissue (like the bass in music).

My verdict

This is by the best Hitachi Magic Wand for anyone who wants the full power without the restriction of being tethered to a plug!

And it is full power! The four intensities range from 2,700 – 6300 rpm so this toy is one for those who crave intesne broad stimulation. For that reason, I also wouldn’t recommend this as a beginner’s toy! All this power makes it pretty loud as well!

Our tester, a seasoned sex toy expert, found the Magic Wand Rechargeable too powerful for their liking, so it’s also just a matter of taste.

I really love the plug and play option, so if you do forget to charge your toy, you can still use it while plugged in!

You should buy the Magic Wand Rechargeable if you...

  1. Prefer rechargeable toys
  2. Love broad stimulation
  3. Want a high intensity toy
  4. Prefer a silicone head

You should not buy the Magic Wand Rechargeable if you...

  1. Want something less bulky
  2. Prefer a mains powered magic wand
  3. Are looking for something discreet
  4. Prefer gentle stimulation
  5. Have any of the health issues listed in the manual

A Closer Look at the Magic Wand Original Plug-In Vibrator

All hail the OG of vibrators! The Magic Wand Original helped revolutionise pleasure and normalise vibrators! And you can still experience it in its original form!

The Original Magic Wand has two powerful speeds to choose from — strong or extra strong, 5,000 or 6,000 rpm to be precise! Unlike the newer models which have buttons, the original has a flick switch to change the power settings.

This is a corded vibrator but with a 6 ft cord, you’ve got plenty of freedom!

Pros

  • Original design
  • 6 ft cord for freedom of movement
  • Powerful vibrations
  • Simple and easy to use

Cons

  • Head is made of vinyl
  • Not as powerful as the rechargeable model
  • Only two speeds and no patterns
  • Loud
  • Has to be plugged in during use

My verdict

While the Magic Wand Original is an icon in every sense, I don’t think this is the best Hitachi Magic Wand you can buy! Unless you have your heart set on the owning the original design, the Magic Wand Rechargeable is going to be a better option for a few reasons.

First of all, the head of the Original is vinyl which is not only porous, but it can also contain harmful plasticizers, whereas the Rechargeable model uses silicone, which is a body-safe option!

Next, the Original only has two power levels, while the Rechargeable has 4 intensities and 4 patterns to play with.

Lastly, the Original has to be plugged in to use, but the Rechargeable can be used with or without mains power!

You should buy the Magic Wand Original Plug-In Vibrator if you...

  1. want to experience the original Magic Wand design
  2. prefer corded vibrators
  3. enjoy powerful stimulation
  4. don't mind a vinyl head

You should not buy the Magic Wand Original Plug-In Vibrator if you...

  1. prefer non-porous sex toys
  2. want the freedom of a cordless design
  3. want more than two power levels
  4. enjoy having vibration patterns

A Closer Look at the Magic Wand Plus Extra Powerful Plug-In Vibrator

The Magic Wand Plus provides super intense vibrations of up to 6300 rpm wherever you choose to use it! It also has four speed settings to choose from, which is a step up from the Original’s two settings.

Never worry about charging again with this mains-powered toy that’s always ready to go when you are. The 6 feet long cord ensures you can enjoy the vibrations no matter where you are and is removable for easy storage.

Plus, the head is made of body-safe silicone and has a super-flexible neck for targeted control.

Pros

  • Four speeds
  • Body safe silicone head
  • Powerful
  • Flexible neck

Cons

  • Can get hot with extended use
  • No patterns
  • Mains-powered
  • Not waterproof

My verdict

The Magic Wand Plus is the middle ground between the previous corded Original and the Rechargeable. It has four speeds, but it’s mains-powered. It’s silicone, but there are no patterns. It’s about as expensive as the Magic Wand Rechargeable, but it does less.

If you are looking specifically for a corded Magic Wand, I would recommend this over the Original. However, I would still the Magic Wand Rechargeable is the best Hitachi Magic Wand vibrator overall.

You should buy the Magic Wand Plus Extra Powerful Plug-In Vibrator if you...

  1. Want a mains-powered toy
  2. Enjoy super-intense vibrations
  3. Don't care about patterns

You should not buy the Magic Wand Plus Extra Powerful Plug-In Vibrator if you...

  1. Want something for long sessions
  2. Prefer a shorter handle
  3. Are worried about noise

A Closer Look at the Magic Wand Mini

All the pleasure and power of the Magic Wand Original, just in a compact model!

The Magic Wand Mini measures in at a very manageable 9.6 inches, making easier to manoeuvre and much more travel friendly!

The soft silicone head sits on a flexible neck to help you get all the right angles.

Plus, this rechargeable wand vibrator boasts up to 2.5 hours in battery life, so you can get plenty use between charges!

Pros

  • Compact model is easier to manoeuvre
  • Travel-friendly
  • Rechargeable
  • Silicone head
  • 3 vibration intensities
  • 6 ft cord

Cons

  • Doesn't feel as strong
  • No attachments available

My verdict

If you want a taste of the Hitachi magic but struggle with the weight and size of a full-sized magic wand, then the Magic Wand Mini is a great alternative! The smaller size also makes it a little easier to position and manoeuvre during partnered sex.

Although the Magic Wand Mini is said to have the same vibratory power as the original (6000 rpm), our tester was a little underwhelmed with the vibration power. However, if you enjoy more moderate or gentle stimulation, this might suit you better.

Another thing to bear in mind, is that some users were disappointed they couldn’t get wand attachments to fit the smaller head size. If you love attachments, you are better off going for a full sized wand.

You should buy the Magic Wand Mini if you...

  1. struggle to hold the full-size model
  2. want a travel-friendly option
  3. prefer moderate intensity vibrations
  4. prefer rechargeable sex toys

You should not buy the Magic Wand Mini if you...

  1. crave very intense power
  2. prefer the long handle of the original design
  3. want a corded vibrator
  4. you want to use wand attachments

A Brief History of the Hitachi Magic Wand

Been there, done that, bought the vibrator. But how did we get here?

"Hysteria"

"Hysteria"

The origin of wand vibrators is thought to stem back to the 1800s, when doctors would diagnose women experiencing almost anything with a condition called ‘hysteria’ (Greek for ‘uterus’) and prescribe manual stimulation of the clitoris as a cure.

However, research by Hallie Lieberman has since cast a lot of doubt on these claims. Vibrators were however used therapeutically for a lot of things at the time, so it was only a matter of time before people discovered their other applications!

The Hitachi Magic Wand was originally manufactured and marketed as a muscle massager by Japanese brand Hitachi in 1968. It was made to soothe away muscular aches and pains: on your calves, shoulders, back, neck, pretty much anywhere on your body that needed attention!

Fast-forward a few years to the mid-70s. Betty Dodson, an American sex educator, learned from a friend of the magical uses of the Hitachi Magic Wand. She pioneered pro-sex feminism through workshops that encouraged women to explore their sexuality through self-pleasure using the Hitachi Magic Wand.

It wasn’t long before the Magic Wand became widely known for its use as a sex toy, but Hitachi refused (and still does) to acknowledge what the wand was actually being used for. That’s why, when they stopped manufacturing them altogether in 1999 (gasp!), US sex toy company Vibratex took the reins.

And here we are. The magic wand has had several makeovers, with ‘wand vibrator’ becoming its own category of sex toys, and many, many companies hopping aboard the train. Thank goodness for that!

Lube up!

We say it in every article, and we’ll keep saying it. Lubes are essential to any sex toy experience, and it only makes it that much more fun! Lube both your toy and your vulva to stop any friction that might cause pain or irritation, and make sure to only use water-based lube for silicone toys.

Play with patterns

Play with patterns

While there aren’t any patterns built into the Hitachi Magic Wands, many wand vibrators will have settings for different patterns and speeds, or even app connectivity with user-made patterns. Try this wand from Le Wand, which has 6 thrilling patterns and 10 levels of intensity! You can simulate this with the Hitachi Magic Wands by raising and lowering the speed manually to create your desired pattern!

How to clean a Hitachi magic wand

Like with all sex toys, your Hitachi Magic Wand needs cleaning after (and ideally before) every usage to prevent harmful bacteria building up, and to keep the toy in good condition. Hitachi Magic Wands are not waterproof, so you should never submerge it or hold it under running water. Instead use a damp cloth and mild soap or sex toy cleaner to clean the head, making sure not to get any water inside the toy. You should also make sure to remove all of the soap residue and dry it thoroughly.

Porous
materials

Soft plastic, hard plastic, jelly, rubber, Cyberskin are all porous materials, meaning that small particles and bacteria can penetrate the surface. This makes it impossible to completely clean these types of materials.

Therefore, it is recommended that you use a condom with these types of toys, especially if you are sharing them. Clean these toys with mild soapy water and dry gently with a towel. These materials are more easily damaged, so be sure to be gentle and make sure your toys are completely dry before storing.

Non-propous
materials

Silicone, glass, stainless steel and some hard plastics can all be washed using a mild soap (like you would use on your body) and warm water. Just be careful if your toy contains electrical parts.

Silicone and stainless steel toys without any electrical parts can also be boiled for sterilisation.

The toys with electrical
components

If your toys contain electrical components, be extra careful when cleaning them and always check the instructions provided with the toy. You can use a gentle cloth and soap to wipe or sex toy cleaner or cleaning wipe to down your toy, making sure that no water comes into contact with the electrical parts.
