Is the Hitachi magic wand dead in the EU?

[Shaun__]

I was reading an article about a vibrating alarm clock for women and learned the Hitachi has been outlawed in the EU. I was wondering if European models are planning to buy on the black market or just switch to Lovehoney's Magic Wand Vibrator instead.

Lovehoney's Magic Wand Vibrator

This is uncivil. Vibrators dont kill people. Horny women with no hitachis kill people.

At the risk of sounding ridiculous ....

Never use your Hitachi (or other house-voltage vibe) in the tub.

I heard the Hitachi wand has been totally discontinued (because Hitachi don't want to be associated with a sex toy... bit late lol)
I have 2 now though so I'm good

I have the love honey version and it's just fine :whistle:

Before anyone shoves an alarm clock up their twats, don't forget that sex toy companies actually do make vibrators, not just tractor builders. :-D Personally I prefer the small vibes that don't look like I'm masturbating with a giant marshmallow. :lol:

It was a hard three weeks but the results were worth it.

AedanRayne might have some leftover Jet Puft from her infamous show a few weeks ago that she could be willing to share. Dip your Hitachi into the stuff and let us know how it worked.

this product is NOT banned in the EU. as you see everybody can buy it even @ amazon, with the hint on the special purpose of it... it was originally designed as a massage-thingie for stressed muscles, so i lol'ed hard as i saw one in my friends house - he is a football-player (REAL football, no hand-egg) and got some muscle-problems a while ago and his doc told him to get that thing. i googled and found out that this device MAY have been banned somewhen in 2006 but now is perfectly fine to buy.

just to set things right^^

Being for sell and being legal are two different things.

The Hitachi Magic Wand is available only in a 110-volt version for American domestic supplies. As the electric motor is contained in the head and is cooled by airflow through the gap between stem and head, this design is difficult to modify for double insulation according to European CE standards, and remains electrically dangerous, just as most handheld powertools.

at least in germany it IS the same... you are not allowed to sell stuff if it is banned somehow. otherwise amazon would sell some dolls which are perfectly legal in japan in EU and US also, but they don't. especially amazon is very cautious with those things.

"The Hitachi Magic Wand is available only in a 110-volt version for American domestic supplies."

where is the problem? therefor the device comes with a converter which transforms our 230V into the needed 110V. there is no danger in that at all.

It did not meet the requirements to be double insulated, and that means they could not get the little sticker that says they are safe to use. The article also said the 50 hertz frequency used in parts of Europe was unsafe to use with the variable speed controller that was designed for 60 Hertz as well. I also translated the page and it was not Amazon selling it but a third party.
