No I’m serious. I bought mine about a year before starting HRT. It was about 20$, not a real Hitachi one (the picture is the one I have). Even back then, it became my only way of finishing. Not because I couldn’t, back then, but because doing it the “standard way” (ew) was and still is very dysphoric for me. Also, using a wand is just affirming? It feels that way at least. It was legitimately one of the best purchases ever.

Now that I’m actually on HRT, it’s literally the only way I can finish. Doing it the other way is just dysphoric af for me and also it literally hurts, because the skin is thinner and more sensitive now. I cannot finish that way, no matter how long I try for…I just end up hurting myself, so I’ve given up on that method a looong time ago. Also, I may be wrong, but I’m at least 90% sure that the wand is one of the reasons I can have long, full-body orgasms. Vibrations feel gooood lol

I didn’t think it would work on me (pre-OP) when buying it. Well…I was pleasantly surprised 😆. I’m almost convinced that a magic wand will work well for anyone, regardless of gender identity or anatomy. I really, honestly think that.
So please…no matter if you’re a woman or a man (or NB!), cis or trans, on HRT or not, pre-OP, no-OP or post-OP…get yourself a wand. It’s the best investment I’ve ever made in my life, no joke 💜

    I got a cheap wand and an authentic wand, both 240V, and the authentic wand is so much better you can’t imagine. It’s also more than twice the price even on sale: 5x bigger RRP. I do reccomend the really good ones.

    Witchcraft 101: everyone needs a wand

    They actually do give good massages too, especially in those hard-to-reach spots if you don’t have someone around to do your back for you.

    Fun fact: Hitachi almost killed the magic wand because they thought accidentally inventing the world’s most popular sex toy would reflect poorly on their brand

      LOL!

      They do, funnily enough. Great on the back and shoulders!

      Yeah, I heard. This is probably racist but…that’s such a Japanese thing to do, lol /s
      I’m glad they didn’t kill it. It’s a miracle toy

      I totally believe that. I’m planning to get a corded one in the future. No charging and it’s also cheaper than wireless.
      Mine is wireless, and the battery only lasts like two hours and I take a looooong time to finish 😭

        The detachable cord ones have a tendency for the port to break cause of the vibrations.

        Get corded. Trust me… I speak from experience.

          Huh, I have yet to run into that. I got the one with the detachable cord after my cat was about to chew on the original cord version.

      Omfg, I just got hit with the MASSIVE YMMV that is life, lol. I’m sorry to hear they don’t work for you!

      Also, suction cups are amazing! Being able to prop them up on walls, having fun anywhere…it’s amazing!

      NSFW, TMI

      My favorite is mounting a toy on the shower wall and just totally going for it, fucking myself silly with a silicone dildo. I used to do it a lot!
      Just something about getting penetrated in the shower is extremely hot to me. It’s even better with a partner! 🤭
      Getting bent over against the shower wall and railed hard is probably one of my favorite pastimes. Well…any wall works, really 😆

      Also, if you’re just using a wall-mounted toy, hearing the sounds of your wet, fat ass slapping against the shower wall is just…affirming? Strangely enough? At least, that’s my case. And the slapping sounds different now, better. That definitely means my butt got bigger! Definitely :3

      And you can also turn on the warm water and feel that on your skin while going at it! Omfg, showers are the best place for sex EVER 🩷

        Haha, I’ve definitely had shower fun often enough. Lately I’ve been turning my wood chair around and using the back as a lever to rock the chair up and down on two legs. That can get intense 😅

        Also, i have a tall bed so it’s near perfect to get bent over on.

          I believe you. Sounds like good fun :3

          YES
          On the bed :3
          Anywhere really…getting bent over is the best 🩷

    I love mine. I have a Hitachi cordless. It just vibrates way better, more thump and less buzz than others and it’s durable and the battery last a long time still. I had bottom surgery before I started using one though. I had some complications and lost most of my clitoral tissue, so it is one of the only things that can get me off these days.

      Damn…I’m really sorry to hear about your complications. That sounds really rough and losing most of your clitoral tissue…holy shit girl 🥺
      I’m glad the wand works for you, at least…

    Get the real one from a reputable seller. I can imagine with the price tag and ease of getting a similar shell, these are frequently counterfeited. So go to a long lived Internet toy shoppe with a good reputation.

    They never go one sale because of agreements with the resellers. So if you see one on sale past the usual price tag ($129, $149? I don’t remember) it’s not real.

    The cordless lasts 4 hours and can be used plugged in. I would highly recommend that one. I used to have ye olde, branded, 120v, mains powered beast, and the cordless is just as good.

    It fits great in a curling iron bag.

    Work up something to cover the buttons if you’re throwing it into a backpack. There is no way to disconnect the battery without a screwdriver.

    The only downside is that they are not waterproof.

      I’m planning to get one! Once I have the money, that’s what I’m getting. I’m totally getting a corded one tho.

      It fits great in a curling iron bag.

      LOL, that’s such a girly thing to do tho, hiding your magic wand in your curling iron bag 😂
      No offense, I respect and understand that.

      The only downside is that they are not waterproof

      Nyooooo 😭

      Thanks for the recs! 🩷
