I previously reviewed the Original Magic Wand (formerly the Hitachi) – the “personal massager” by day, and sex toy by night. The all-powerful Hitachi was supposedly in a class of its own, with intense vibrations that seemed unmatched… until I met the Doxy vibrator. Like the Hitachi, the Doxy massage wand is not a wand for the faint of vagina. In fact, it may be better compared to a power tool than a sex toy. It’s larger than my forearm and vibrates more than any other toy I own. It’s definitely the kind of vibrator meant for quickies and over-the-pant orgasms. If you think there’s no such thing as an “over-the-pant orgasm”, then clearly, you’ve never meant the Doxy or the Hitachi for that matter). Introducing perhaps the only massage wand to rival the “vibe to rule them all” – the Doxy vibrator… my new favorite toy under my bed (because it doesn’t fit in my drawer) – and for many ladies, may be the best massage wand out there.

Doxy Massage Wand vs. Hitachi
The Doxy vibrator is similar to the Hitachi – the type of massage wand that you plug in and press against your clit to deliver intense, rumbly, brow-sweating, knee-buckling, body-shaking orgasms at a moment’s notice. It’s the kind of vibrator you reach for when you’ve gone through all your strongest vibrators, and still want something more powerful. It’s the kind of vibe that they use in forced-orgasm porn, because you literally cannot escape its vibrations or mentally/physically prevent yourself from having an orgasm within a few minutes of it resting against your clit. It’s fucking insane.
The Doxy toy is a bit larger than the Hitachi – with a slightly longer head, body, and cord (by about a foot, so a bit easier if your outlet is out of the way). It is also slightly heavier. It’s designed to be an external vibrator, unless you really like the idea of putting a vibrating tennis ball inside you. You plug it into the wall, turn it on, and it vibrates. Pretty fabulous for a personal massager – except for my one pet peeve.
The head of the toy was once made of PVC (a non-body-safe material), but is now, after this review was initially written, the head is made of body-safe silicone, a major upgrade! Silicone is long-lasting, easy to clean, and is not porous, so won’t harbor bacteria. You can easily wash it with soap and water or your favorite toy cleaner. Just be sure to use a water-based lube instead of silicone-based, as silicone could degrade the material.
Is the Doxy Vibrator Stronger than a Hitachi?
The Doxy vibrator claims to be 30% more powerful than the Hitachi. I’m not really sure how you measure that, other than doing a blind-clit-test, which I was happy to give a try. I sat down blindfolded while my man put each one against my vulva/clit area (through panties, because I didn’t want the material to give away which was which). The two vibrators were clearly different, but I don’t think the Doxy wand was more powerful. It does seem to have more vibration speed, but not necessarily more vibration intensity. The Hitachi is rumbly and strong, while the Doxy massager is less rumbly, but faster. So, which is stronger? It really comes down to interpretation. If you think that speed = strength, then the Doxy vibrator is stronger. If you think that rumbly = strong, then it’s the Hitachi. It’s really a toss up… but I don’t think it can really accurately claim to be 30% more powerful. Both are monsters when it comes to strength. The differences are noticeable, yet so subtle that it doesn’t feel like one is “better” than the other.
Both are powerful, but I much prefer the controls of the Doxy massage wand over the Hitachi. Rather than having two speeds – high and HIGHER – the Doxy has a variation of 20 speeds, ranging from low to high. The lower speeds are deep and rumbly, while the higher speeds are faster and only slightly less rumbly. You can control them using easy “up” and “down” buttons to find the perfect speed. I love the variation, and gentle easing up from lighter to more intense with each click. Like the Hitachi, desensitization is a total myth. At its highest speed, it’s slightly less loud than the Hitachi – and at its lower speeds, it’s about as quiet as my other 4 or 5 bee vibes. It could definitely be heard through a door, but it doesn’t make you go deaf when using it. It’s not nearly as loud as one would expect!
Pros & Cons
Pros
- Better than the Hitachi
- Very strong, with more speeds and patterns
- Easy to use
- Never loses its charge
Cons
- Made of body unsafe materials
- Pretty expensive
Is the Doxy Vibrator Worth it?
Honestly, I’m a bit conflicted about the Doxy toy. I really do prefer the Doxy vibrator over the Hitachi. The vibrations are much more pleasurable for me, especially because I can set it to lower settings before going all the way with its highest intensity. I think it’s a fabulous sex toy for someone that craves power, but also wants some more variety than a simple two speed. I can’t say it’s more powerful than the Hitachi, but it’s definitely more pleasurable for me. I haven’t tried all the massager wands out there – but this is definitely one that will stay up there in my favorites for a long, long time! That is unless it starts leaking… If you have the cash to spare and love some powerful vibrations, the Doxy massage wand is a wonderful choice!
