to ask for a Hitachi Magic Wand as birthday present from my partner?

57 replies

I've heard the most wonderful things about the Hitachi Magic Wand and I'd love to have one but should I buy it myself or suggest it to my partner as a birthday present?

I wouldn't want to make him him feel he isn't 'enough' by making the request, because he's very good in bed actually.

Would I be being unreasonable?

If you've found this page in your search of a wand massager and wand vibator, you might find our guide to the best wand massagerss useful. Hope this helps! MNHQ

I agree with those who say there's no gentle setting. It's too intense. Okay on the back (which I believe is what it was originally designed for), but I wouldn't buy one to use on more intimate areas unless I'd already tried one and knew it worked for me. It does really work for some people, but not everyone. Plus I don't like having to plug it in. I like such things to come with less risk of entanglement or at worse, electrocution.

I'll stick to the weakest 3 settings on the rabbit thanks Shock

AnUnearthlyChild · 30/01/2014 22:04

It's not rated for use in the EU tho is it?

MrsMoon76 · 30/01/2014 22:01

Trust me, there is no gentle setting. Its like being hit in the fanny with an electric sander.

frugalfuzzpig · 30/01/2014 22:01

It looks a bit... Overenthusiastic.

And not cordless? What if you get tangled up?!? :o

"it's just fanny ticklers"

I like having it tickled but if it ends up feeling as if it's been 10 rounds with Mike Tyson, I won't be quite so happy. Shock

Unless this wand has a 'gentle' setting, I think I might try something less enthusiastic.

I thought it was a Harry potter themed remote for the telly ??

Coumarin · 30/01/2014 21:51

Hang in. 'Cord'?? You plug it in?

Coumarin · 30/01/2014 21:50

I thought this was going to be about a fancy remote control. I was quite excited. Sad

But no, it's just fanny ticklers. Meh.

Deste!! Grin

I came on here because I read magic wand and am looking for two for flower girls. Maybe not.

DustyBaubles · 30/01/2014 19:42

Farrow I thought it might be a Harry Potter inspired tv remote Grin I got all excited!

I'd probably buy it for myself, rather than ask for it as a gift.

FlatFacedArmy · 30/01/2014 19:25

Buy an AcuVibe instead, it can be used cordless and holds a decent charge. IMO they have the same power when attached to the mains but the AcuVibe can be a bit less intense when detached from the cord.

The cord on the Hitachi is very short, so it's awkward to get a good position. It was way too intense for me at first but you can get used to it. I have to say the first time I used it, I didn't think it would work at all but it took about 30 seconds and I was wearing all my clothes (too intense at first on sensitive bits, try over underwear or, err, tight jeans...)

I have the Bodywand. I love mine but I do have a large toy collection. I wouldn't buy it as my first one.

MamaPingu · 30/01/2014 18:55

Before reading the thread I thought Hitachi was some Japanese/Chinese kids cartoon and OP wanted a model of a magic wand from the programme and was asking whether that was weird or not Grin

JuliaScurr · 30/01/2014 18:48

what damage?

Farrowandbawl · 30/01/2014 18:43

Thank god it's not just me. Blush

FutTheShuckUp · 30/01/2014 18:41

Farrow- I thought it was some new kitchen appliance I was missing out on

Farrowandbawl · 30/01/2014 18:37

*Hitachi

Farrowandbawl · 30/01/2014 18:37

OMG I saw the name Hitchati and thought it was a new power tool. I even got a bit excited.

The confusing and almost alarming thing is...I'm disappointed you're all talking about a sex toy.

PenguinDancer · 30/01/2014 18:28

WE have one. It's great :o DP bought US it, and that's the difference. It was mutual. He loves me using it, I like teasing him with it. Such fun. They are powerful but you can turn them down.

MamaPingu · 30/01/2014 15:51

Damage to your bits? Shock
Doesn't sound good haha!

Scarletohello · 30/01/2014 15:47

I've got one. They're great! If you don't feel comfortable asking your partner just get one yourself on Amazon...

nickymanchester · 30/01/2014 15:45

As the others have said, make sure that he's ok with sex toys first.

If so, then like thecapitals above I also have the Lovehoney version. I think it's a lot better than the Hitachi one as there's a wheel that you can scroll up and down to increase or decrease the vibrations.

Also, I found it a lot better with plenty of lube

thecapitalsunited · 30/01/2014 15:40

I have a love honey version which my dp loves to see me use and loves being used on him but the only way you are going to know how your do will feel about it is to ask him.
