I am not a worshiper at the Shrine of the Hitachi Magic Wand.  I know scores of people who love it, sing it’s praises, cannot live without it, etc.  I am not one of those women.  I tried to love the Hitachi; gave it a fair shake, I think.  Just couldn’t get into it.  But when I saw the Acuvibe Mini, I thought perhaps this is a larger massager/vibrator that is more up my alley.

First off, I was so excited to open the box to discover that I’d received a pink Mini.  But if pink’s not your thing, Babeland also sells the Acuvibe Mini in blue.  The Mini is a lovely massager made by Human Touch that comes in a nice box with an instruction manual and the charging unit.  Yes, the Mini is rechargeable!  This is a plus for me as one of the things that bothered me about the Hitachi was the cord.  I’m all for toys that don’t require batteries.

The size and shape of the Mini?  Perfect!  It has a good heft to it but nothing that will cause my hand to be fatigued.  The massager head of the Mini is soft and has a great little curve to it that helps it nestle right in where I need it.  I was also pleased to find that the vibrations that transfer through the unit don’t bother my hand.  I don’t want to have to worry about my hand going numb while I’m working toward an orgasm!

Speaking of the vibrations…  I would compare the power of the Mini to the low setting on the Hitachi.  For me, that is quite a bit of oomph.  But it seems that the size and shape of the Mini help me better control how I experience the vibrations.  Thus, I know I’ll be more apt to use the Mini more than I ever would have used the Hitachi.

I’m thrilled to say that I can’t find one single thing about the Acuvibe Mini that I don’t like.  If you’re looking for something Hitachi-like but with the perks of being cordless, rechargeable, and small, I would highly recommend the Mini.  This toy is one of Babeland’s Staff Picks and is well worth the $60 price tag.
