Wand Various ArtistsThe Hitachi Magic Wand, now known as the Original Magic Wand, is an AC-powered wand vibrator first marketed in the United States in 1968 by the Japanese company Hitachi. Originally intended for muscle relaxation, it gained prominence as a sex toy, particularly popularized by sex educator Betty Dodson during the 1960s sex-positive movement. The device is recognized for effectively aiding women in achieving orgasm and is noted for its design, featuring a rubberized head and substantial power. Despite its initial health-oriented branding, following changing societal views, Hitachi ceased its production in 2013 but continued under the new name, attesting to its lasting cultural significance and commercial success.
