      Hitachi ceased production of the device in 2013 due to concerns about having the company name associated with a sex toy. Vibratex convinced the company to continue manufacturing it under the name “Original Magic Wand,” omitting the Hitachi name. In 2014, the company used the name “Magic Wand Original.”

        To be fair, it’s probably a reasonable marketing decision to not have your industrial and home equipment company best known for its sex toys. I get where that came from.

        On a serious note if you have a really bad cold, the magic wand pressed between your eyes while your face down will drain THE FUCK out of you sinuses and basically instantly clear out your head.

        I suffer frequently from bad allergies bought the magic wand originally as a sex toy. Figured one day while suffering from a head so packed full of mucus that I wonder if it would help

        HOLY FUCK DOES IT HELP
