They sold the rights to make the magic wand about a decade ago. No longer Hitachi, alas.

Because Hitachi was embarrassed about their innocent personal massager being used for such unwholesome activities. Literal PR move.

I thought Magic Wands were used almost exclusively for holesome activities.

Actually, it's pretty good for that

Seems like it would be a violent torturous way to make orifices much larger than they're supposed to be 😳

[–] jerkface@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

Violent? That would be a choice. Maybe I'll try it sometime. Anyway, it feels amazing.

Just like TI... They no longer make the famous calculator

Well that makes sense, he had to focus on his music career.

Get off my lawn

Wich turned it basically into an US exclusive product, and pretty much impossible to get outside of there
