The Magic of a Body Wand! | Hitachi Magic Wand

Owning (and using) a Hitachi Magic Wand is truly worthwhile for many reasons–from improved sleep to helping us live longer happier lives. We are not talking about your kids favourite fairy wands! We are talking about their adult (ONLY) version. If you’re in a hurry and just looking for where to buy the Hitachi Magic Wand in Australia, you might be keen to get it with fast shipping from Amazon. The ‘original’ Hitachi Magic Wand is not available from Amazon, but there are several other affordable options that are guaranteed to, *ahem*, please! The Bed Geek Personal Wand Massager is an inexpensive, compact and rechargeable option that received a very positive review from Alice at vanillaisthenewkink.com. Also, at that site, check out the Maude Vibe Review–it’s not quite a magic wand, but it is certainly a very popular sex toy that combines elegant design, surprising power and simple controls.

Read on for a little history of this groundbreaking device and more buying options, including other online stores that stock body wand massagers.

Hitachi Magic Wand and the City

Sex Toys have evolved and so has society! While solo use by individuals may have been the end of the story in the past, their use has rapidly become very popular with couples too! We may need to thank the iconic Sex and the City’s characters Carrie, Miranda, Charlotte and Samantha and some of their more memorable episodes. An iconic episode of the groundbreaking series, sees Samantha try to return a body wand vibrator to a store, only to be told that it is not a vibrator and that the store doesn’t sell vibrators!

Since then, vibrator talk (and discussions about their use) have come out of the dark and into the open. No longer stigmatised, sex toys have evolved into desirable, luxury items over the last few years and many of them look nothing like you imagined. And what a good thing that is for those of us with curious kids in the house!

The Hitachi Magic Wand and Other Body Wands

The iconic Hitachi Magic Wand was produced by Hitachi as a massage tool back in the 1970s! In fact, it is very effective for easing shoulder knots and stiff necks, however, its efficiency goes beyond the shoulder. It soon became one of the most effective (and sought-after!) clit vibrators. Indeed, many women who struggled to achieve orgasm came to find the Hitachi Magic Wand to be the most reliable (and sometimes only) way to reach that blissful state.

A Hitachi by any other name…

There’s much more to the story of the iconic Hitachi Magic Wand, and you can read it all on Cosmo. Suffice to say that when Japanese-based Hitachi realised how their body wand was being marketed in the US, they removed their name from the product. This has led to ample confusion, since the term ‘Hitachi Magic Wand’ has become synonymous with body wand vibrators, no matter who makes them.

Will the real Hitachi Magic Wand please stand up?

Another point of confusion in Australia is our lack of access to the ‘Original’ Hitachi Magic wand (now made by American company, Vibratex). It’s not so easy to get this ‘Original’ Hitachi Body Wand in Australia and it is hideously expensive! Luckily, these days there are many Body Wands by other manufacturers to choose from.

Where to Buy a Body Wand — Best Sex Toy Shops

So, where can you buy these magic toys?

If you’re looking for the Hitachi Magic Wand on Amazon, you might be disappointed, or at least confused! The thing is, Hitachi actually stopped putting their name on possibly their most famous product! But just like the ‘esky’, the name Hitachi lives on as the most common way to talk about body wand massagers, no matter who they’re made by.

If you’re after the ‘authentic’ Hitachi Magic Wand, our number one recommendation is the Le Wand Massager–it’s not cheap, but this is the Rolls Royce of body wands!! For a start, it is much more stylish than the original Hitachi Magic Wand, plus it is cordless and rechargeable–no getting tangled in cords in the heat of the moment. It’s easy to operate and has 10 speed settings and loads of different vibration patterns. They also have a range of attachments that can be combined with the wand. Oh, and it won Cosmo’s “Most Powerful Sex Toy” award… ahem, say no more…

A range of less expensive body wands are available from Amazon, and we’ve summarised the best we’ve seen in the table at the top of this article.

For other Body Wand models (and budgets), Adult Mega Toy Store and LoveHoney both have a great range of sex toys at very reasonable prices:

Let the Magic Begin!

Why should you get a Magic Wand?

1. Knowledge and Understanding – The more we experiment the more we come to understand what works and what doesn’t. How could we possibly start to explain to someone else what feels good if we don’t actually know ourselves?
2. Discreet sex toy – Kids have a special talent for finding things they are not supposed to! However, the Magic Wand is ‘officially’ a massage tool (as originally intended) to get rid of shoulder knots. You can’t get more discreet than that! And no, ‘a massage device is not a kids toy’–so I tell my kids in my most assertive tone of voice.
3. Orgasms – Well if that isn’t reason enough, using a Body Wand can help us achieve longer-lasting, more enjoyable orgasms with less time and frankly less effort.
4. Increased libido – Some women experience periods of low libido and a downturn in our sex drive. Using a sex toy can help to pick us up and get our juices flowing again.
5. Rejection risk zero – Unlike humans, the Body Wand is always available!
6. Spice It Up – Introducing the Body Wand and/or other sex toys into a relationship can help make things a little more exciting in the bedroom by exploring and experimenting.
7. Burn Calories – Yes, even with a sex toy you can burn up to 114 calories over a 10 minute period. Is there a better way to burn calories?
8. Convenience – If Sex and The City has enormously contributed to making vibrators mainstream, the same can be said for online shopping! Visiting a retail adult shop may feel a little too daunting for many people. Online shopping is convenient and a lot less overwhelming, and importantly, all the online retailers have discreet packaging.
9. Better Sleep – Well the happy afterglow of an easy to reach climax can send us into an undisturbed slumber.
10. Live Longer – An orgasm a day can add up to four years to our lives.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a wand massager?

Aesthetically, it looks like a wand. That is a long ‘stick’ with a ‘head’, a bit like a microphone. The head vibrates providing a strong deep massage to whatever part of the body it is pressed against. Some people may argue, it could be too strong and unpleasant on certain body parts. Wand massagers are for external use.

What is a magic wand used for?

Well… that’s easy! For magic, of course! Hahahhaha. Okay, let’s get technical. ‘Technically’, it is used for massaging parts of your body: shoulder, neck, etc. It is also commonly used for clitoral massaging and, according to many users, it is magical.

Is the Hitachi Magic Wand waterproof?

The so-called ‘authentic Hitachi’ is not waterproof since it is connected to mains electricity when in use. However, there are many cordless models similar to the Hitachi magic wand that are waterproof as they only need to be connected to power for charging purposes.

How do you clean a magic wand?

As it is designed for external use, magic wands tend to be very easy to clean. Each product is slightly different, so the best thing is to check the manufacturer’s care instructions. However, generally speaking, a good wipe will do the job. For waterproof models, a wet cloth or a washer are also good options.

How does Hitachi wand work?

The original Hitachi Magic Wand plugs into the power outlet on your wall. With between 110v to 240v constantly powering this device, the vibrations coming out of its head are as strong as you can get. The long handle makes it easy to reach different parts of your body such as your back.
