I have noticed in different videos and talks the wand comes up a lot. I have a fair amount of toys but the wands are a bit pricey so I never got one. Recently saw them referred to as the cadallic of vibrators. I have been really thinking about getting one. I usually shop at adam and eve online just because there is a store 20 minutes from me also so I can go see the product in person. On their sight the body wand is almost double in price but it has different speeds so may be worth it. They both have good reviews. That store doesnt sale attachments and looking online I can find specific Hitachi ones but none made for the body. However lots of things that are supposed to fit "most" wands so I am not sure if that would matter. Added bonus is these are supposed to be legitimately good used for deep muscle massage. Was thinking of the BF and the fact he gets serious knots in his lower calves which are a pain in the ass to work out. If anyone happens to have any experience with any of these products or one similar I would love to know which one and how you would rate it. Interested in things like how long they last .If I am paying $100 are they going to last awhile. How loud are they(not to be confused with how loud you get when using them)? Would you choose the model you did again and if you would not why?

haven't looked into it fireserpant, but it's a great question & i'll be watching here to see what others have to say about it.

I don't know anything about this either but thought I would bring this post back to the top of the list in the hopes that you get the answer you are looking for. :)

I know that I love my Hitachi Wand! I recently ordered an attachment for it. I'll let you know if it does the job when it comes in. lol

This wand can be used for sore muscles too.

Sorry, though I most likely would like to know more about this wand, alas, I have no one. I do however have a suggestion, look into reflexology for the relaxation of your bf's calf muscles. Lots of pressure points throughout the body that can an will alleviate many painful areas.
Good luck on the Hitachi.

Is this the same "Hitachi" that makes power drills, sanders, and skill saws? Because if so, I'd highly recommend the Hitachi Wand. No question that thing will run long and smooth. And knowing Hitachi, you'll probably get two batteries for the price of one AND a free rechargeable flashlight.

Other suggestions: I used to get leg cramps a lot. I was told to stand barefoot for a few minutes on the cold tile bathroom floor and it helps. Also increase your Potassium by eating a banana or drinking some orange juice.

@Okie The Hitachi Wand plugs into an outlet....no batteries needed but a flashlight might be fun. lol

I bought a mini wand that i saw at a shop i was in cause it was cheap and the big one is pretty expensive . I gotta say it was definitely awesome, but the batteries died pretty quick , and this one takes watch batteries 5 of them. They cost $12 for a.pack of five.. I did go and get new batteries for it but when i got home and put them in the damn thing didnt work anymore..guess its cause it was so cheap, but with a tad bit of embarrasment i will admit that i break all of my toys..or they just break on me. Do have a tendancy to buy the "eggs" and "bullets" and they.are all relatively inexpensive, so maybe thats why. Its getting frustrating though...just broke my last one last night

f***, i am missing the band wagon here. I'm so damn hard headed that i refuse to get one until i can share it with a partner....try to make sense out of that one, will ya ?

@Lisa- It helps to stand on a cold surface if you have leg cramps? Sorry to highjack the thread fireserpent but I wanted to just ask...
What does your BF get these cramps from...or does he not know why he gets them?

LisaACOA 02/23/2013

@Struggling I can't remember who told me to do it but yes it does help standing on a cold floor. I have had leg cramps so bad in the past that my toes would curl and not in a good way. lol

deleted_user 02/23/2013

I agree with Lisa, standing on a cold floor works well for leg cramps. I was told that by my ob/gyn when I was preggo with my first son 31 years ago. I get them on/off now and I know my potassium level is low when I start getting them and it's back to eating a banana or two every day.

On to the Hitachi wand, can't help you out Fireserpent. I love our sex toys and devices but we're not fans of toys that vibrate so never got a wand. If it helped with sciatica I would get one but I haven't found much that helps with that when it's flared up.

MsViv 02/23/2013

No no on the cold floor to leg cramps for me... I get calf cramps from standing all day at work.. Fetal position, heating pad (but now my beloved heating blanket) and some pain meds will help...

Also lots of water and potassium. Did you know cantaloupe has a very high potassium content? http://www.livestrong.com/article/31934-list-fruit-high-potassium/

Sorry I can't help out on the wand thing....

Here, I bumped for you

If the girls on MFC are to be believed, it's worth the price.
