Why Does Everyone Love the Magic Wand?

Wand vibes are the dream for clitoral stimulation and the Cordless Magic Wand delivers them better than any other. According to Amovibe , 78% of people admitted they felt more satisfied in their sex life after using a sex toy. Aside from satisfaction, there’s also improved libido, increased chances of orgasm, and simply greater overall sexual pleasure. 31% of women also said that the use of a sex toy helped them to achieve orgasm during solo play. We discuss our 7 favorite wand benefits here.

Vibratex took over distribution for the Hitachi Magic Wand in 2013. They soon revamped it and created a cordless Magic Wand. You can check out the full product details on our Amazon store here.

Both the Magic Wand Original and the Magic Wand Rechargeable have incredible power and deep rumbly vibrations. By dropping the cord and going wireless the upgraded model offers much more flexibility and freedom of movement.

The rechargeable has 4 vibration speeds and 4 pattern settings, from a low key tease all the way up to a whopping 6300 rpm. This, combined with the soft silicone head, make it perfect for both sensual and intense play. The original Hitachi massager only has 2-speed settings, both are fast and powerful which isn't as beginner friendly. For a full breakdown and comparison of the pros and cons of each wand, see our in depth review here .

Ok, back to the tips..

How to Use the Hitachi Magic Wand for Masturbation

Masturbation is a normal and healthy way to understand your body and discover what rocks your socks and what fails to get you going. Pleasure and wellness go hand in hand, adding the Magic Wand Vibrator to your solo sesh can help you achieve new levels of both.

Battery Life Check

The cordless Magic Wand has a 3 hour battery life when fully charged. If the indicator light is flashing red then it's running low, and no one wants it to run out of juice mid sesh.

It takes around 3 hours to fully charge, however you can still use the 6ft cord if you want to plug and play so you can always get your wand on when needed.

It's worth noting that the wand has an inbuilt safety feature that shuts it off after 20 minutes of continuous use. This is to prevent it from overheating and is pretty common with massagers. It isn't something that causes much bother anyway as it's soon ready to switch back on and 20 mins is more than enough time for the wand to work it's magic!

Clean The Wand

We've put together an in depth guide on how to clean your Magic Wand here so we will only give this a quick mention now. Popular sex toys like the Magic Wand are made from body-safe materials. It's still easy for bacteria to spread if you don't keep a clean regime though.

Take a moment to prep your wand by cleaning the head with a anti-bacterial wipe or use a clean damp cloth and mild soap. This will also get rid of any airborne bacteria or dust particles that have landed on it. Once you finish your wand sesh it's important to clean it afterwards as well to keep it fresh for next time.

Lube at The Ready

Everything with the wand feels better when it's friction free. Before you turn it on and get started apply a decent covering of water based lubricant to the wand head.

Water based lubes are absolutely the way to go as they are safe to use with the Hitachi Magic Wand range. Silicone based lubricants aren't recommended as they are potentially damaging to wand head, and other sex toys in general.

When it comes to using a wand we want it to easily glide across the body and sensitive areas. The wand head is soft and slightly spongy which makes direct contact with the skin comfortable and sensual, with a bit of lube applied it can travel across the skin more easily.

Solo Wand Vibrator Tips

Beginner Wand Use

When you're just getting started the two lower speed settings are your friend. Turn on the wand, start exploring and build from there.

The high power settings can be a bit intense for beginners so it’s always best to go low and slow at the outset.

Begin by holding the wand against your vulva, clitoris, or other areas that make you feel aroused. You can work up from the inner thigh towards the vaginal opening, then lightly circle the clit and start to apply some direct stimulation. You can start experimenting with the different vibration patterns and settings. You’ll soon find the right spots and intensity level to reach climax with ease.

When you're using the wand for the first time is better to take a slow approach. Powerful vibrators can be very intense at first, so use the lowest settings to get comfortable and don't rush.

Towel Method

As you get more comfortable with the wand vibes you may want to test out the stronger vibrations the higher speed settings offer. Warning, full power can lead to intense orgasms!

To bridge the gap and avoid becoming overly sensitive you can place a towel over your vulva and clitoris. The vibes are plenty powerful enough to stimulate the clitoris through the towel while avoiding direct contact and excessive sensitivity.

It's all about experimenting and finding what works for you. The towel can help tame the strong vibrations until you're ready to try without.

Best Position for Using The Wand

Everyone is individual and will no doubt have their favorite position, however, a great starting point is lay on your back at a slight incline.

The wand is weighty at 21oz. It's 13 inches long and the head is 2.4 inches wide.

Lying on your back on propping up your head and upper back makes controlling the head of the Magic Wand easy. You can see exactly what's going on and let the wand head glide between your legs with minimal effort.

This position puts you in complete control and makes it easy to relax, which is key to experiencing orgasm.

Pillow Possibilities

Just a regular pillow or two can really help when it comes to experimenting and positioning your Wand.

Betty Dodson talked of the pillow grind technique. Simply place the wand in the middle of your pillow and straddle over it while it's vibrating.

Gentle rock back and forth with your pelvis and control the movement of your clit over the wand head. It will take a bit of practice to get the angle and pressure right but it's important to let the deep vibrations do the work.

Another awesome pillow tip is to use them for doggy style masturbation. If you pile two or three pillows under your hips and lie on your stomach. Prop the wand up against the pillows and lower your clitoris onto the wand head. This works a treat with partnered play as well as you get both internal stimulation and external stimulation at the same time.

Magic Wand Attachments

There are plenty of Hitachi Magic Wand attachments on the market that come in all sorts of shapes and sizes to suit your preference. Attachments add a new element to solo play as they transform your wand into an internal vibrator. look for attachments that are made from body safe silicone and are shaped to target the g-spot. By carrying the vibes right the way through to the tip this allows the power of the wand to work it's magic on two fronts. Both externally and through penetration.

You can get so much from the wand without them, but if you like to switch between different types of stimulation attachments are well worth trying out.

How Can Couples Use A Wand Vibrator

Adding a Magic Wand massager into your love life can unlock new levels of intimacy and excitement in the bedroom. Here are a few of our top tips on how to use the a vibrator with your partner -

Massage Please

We care, we really do. But after a busy day we don't always feel like our partner's request for a massage is entirely reasonable!

This is where it's important to remember that the Hitachi Magic Wand is not just for when we're horny. It's an incredible back massager in it's own right, and is perfect for relieving sore muscles. Whichever parts of your body are causing bother, grab your wand and let it work out the knots.

Magic Wand Foreplay

Foreplay is about getting in the mood and relaxing before getting down to it. The Magic Wand is a fun and exciting way to get things started.

The low and mid settings are perfect for teasing your partner or having them tease you. Our top tip for foreplay with the wand is to have your partner gently explore your erogenous zones with the wand.

Letting the wand vibes stimulate your senses is a great way to get started. Try adding a blindfold into the mix for a bit of extra fun when experimenting.

How to Use The Hitachi Magic Wand During Sex

The Magic Wand is incredible when having sex with a partner. The combination of internal g-spot stimulation from your partners penetration combined with the deep external vibrations of the wand are mind blowing.

When you're using your wand during sex it's important to get into the right positions. Once you get it right the possibilities are endless and it's a surefire way to reach multiple orgasms.

Some of our favorite wand sex positions are:

Missionary Position - The classic with a wand twist. Similar to the solo tip up top we need a pillow or two for this one. Simply put a pillow under your hips when lay on your back. This will tilt the pelvis slightly and make it easy for your partner to penetrate you and give plenty of room for you to use the wand on your clit at the same time.

Doggy - Lie on your stomach with 2-3 pillows under your hips, lean the wand upwards so it rests against your vulva when you lie down. Make sure you've got it on a higher power setting so as your partner enters you from behind you get all the pleasure of the vibes from the front.

Spooning - It's super easy to use the wand while having spoon sex. While lay out your side lift your top leg and rest it on your partners leg. This creates an enough room for the wand head to pulse between your thighs. Either you or your partner can control the wand during sex to create an orgasmic experience every time.

The key to getting the best out of the wand with a partner is communication and experimentation. Make sure you let your partner know what works for you and what doesn't. Practice makes perfect when it comes to getting the best out of it, however we think it will have you weak at the knees in no time.

The rechargeable wand is a must-have when it comes to leveling up your love-life. Just remember to take time to get used to the power, build into it slowly and most importantly have fun and experiment and you'll find your own wand-style tips in no time!
