Editorial Reviews
Wahl body massager corded 2 speed
It has a really nice vibration speed and motion that is a little different compared to most massagers. Also, the rythm really is relaxing for the whole body, not just the area you have the massager directly on.
I would recommend this product but wish they made it a little lighter. The wieght of it is a little cumbersome and could be a little too much for smaller individuals.
The vibe consists of a plastic handle containing the motor, which connect to AC wall power with a cord about 10 feet long (a nice touch - I hate short AC cords!). There are about 8 attachments included for various types of use, including scalp and muscle massage. The attachments press onto a post at the top of the handle. The vibe is roughly pistol-shaped, with the power switch where a trigger would be. The switch has three settings - off, low and high.
The low setting is quite mild, suitable for delicate tissues, while the high setting is more for deep muscle with no joints or nerve clusters nearby. Vibes can be very helpful for massaging various body areas, but one must also be careful to use them correctly. One would not use a hard attachment on the high setting to massage delicate areas of the face, for example. One can damage delicate structures if not careful. Unfortunately, there is not a lot of instruction on such matters included with most vibes.
To address the more erotic applications, I would note that vibrators are usually more fun for women than men (as always, your mileage may vary), due mainly to differences in anatomy. Men usually benefit more from a strong vibe in these uses, and that is why I say that this vibe is something men might be more interested in. Women can enjoy the lighter, battery powered devices much more than can most men (again, that is in general from research, my experience, and the men with whom I've discussed it, and your experience may be different).
Also, using AC power instead of batteries means longer and better performance, although in this case it also means much more heat generated along with that extra power. In fact, I have measured the case temperature at over 110 degrees F after about a half hour's use. Hot enough to make you take notice, but not hot enough to cause a burn. It does seem to loose power when it gets that hot, though, so I switch off with multiple vibes in order not to run them hot all the time. They are inexpensive enough to have several on hand.
It is also fun to have one for each hand - the ladies like that quite a bit. I am thinking about designing a setup with several of these, just for the fun of it.......
There used to be a number of third-party attachments available for erotic use, but lately I have only been able to find one, which is often included in the promotion section of this product's Amazon page. I will deal in more depth with the erotic uses of this vibe in the review of that attachment.
I find that even a strong vibe like this is not enough to take me "to the heights," but will certainly help maintain a fairly constant state of arousal which can go on for hours. This is quite useful for energy and meditation techniques which utilize erotic energy, as it allows one to achieve higher states of arousal without expending large amounts of energy and attention on physical manipulation. (Saves on repetitive stress, as well.) I am experimenting with it in a couple of different practices in that regard. Of course, there is also the element of the strong electromagnetic field generated by the motor to consider, but that energy can be transmuted.
I have used this style of vibe from this manufacturer for decades, and the quality seems to hold up over long periods of time. If you are in the market for a vibe for regular or erotic purposes, this is well worth considering for the purposes I mention above.
The attachments alone are worth what i paid in total.
The instructions are truly amusing - they give directions for all sorts of G-rated purposes, foot massages and such. As if anyone REALLY cares about that stuff:)
And then, the attachment which is obviously most well suited to a very fun spot is labelled as "GENERAL PURPOSE". It made me laugh, it made my teeth rattle - what more can you ask for under $17 delivered?
The power cord is a nice length - not too short and seems fairly durable.
It is a bit noisy, bear that in mind if privacy is limited in your boudoir.
Crank up the stereo first, then see if you can shake a few fillings loose...
I have used the Wahl massagers for 30 years now. This is my third one. Each has lasted over 15 years and has been beyond wonderful...BUT this one is awful. Like many reviews have mentioned...the slow speed is really LOW and the fast is too intense. The size is too large and the color is an ugly gray. So overall, I'm very disappointed and may return it =
This does wonderful work on my feet. It's very soothing on the temple. And it can really dig into the shoulder muscles.
It's solidly made, too. Feels like a real quality piece of work.
Fantastic!
A friend recommended the Hitachi magic wand, but I can't see spending that much, so when I found this one, and it had some very interesting reviews, I figured it can't hurt to try---- OMG... this little baby is so much better than my old one. I figured they were all pretty much the same, but I was so. very. wrong.
If you are debating on whether or not to get it, don't hesitate... the sooner you order this little guy, the better "off" you will be LOL
The ONLY bad part of this toy is the weight... its much heavier than it looks.
There are 5 different attachments that you can use. My parents use the small round one like a spot treatment to target the pressure. The wedge shape one is great for back & larger areas of the body. There's also one that's like a comb that feels great on the head.
Even though it's small and cheap, the high mode was intense enough for their extreme body pains. My dad had tried on a personal massager from Brookstone that was triple the price and over a foot long in size. This Wahl massager is just as effective (with even more attachments) at a fraction of the price & size.
I use the light mode on myself as a relaxing massage. So this product is perfect for relaxing & for deep massage relief.
Cannot be beat at anywhere near the price.
Highly recommended!
They all work good for the feet, except for the knuckle , and facial attachment. The only attachment I don't see much use for is the knuckle one. Well worth the money!!!! Massages are great but are expensive and this will help cut back on those trips.
oh thanks for shipping it fast!..
Okay so I've had it for more than 2 weeks using it as much as I can. I went on a 5 hour hike through Point Lobos Reserve in California and didn't use the massager until late that night. Let me tell you it feels real good on sore muscles..it may take some careful maneuvering at the high setting but eventually my tense and sore feet and calves were able to handle the powerful vibrations. There's no getting around needing lotion or massage oil on bare skin...the rubber attachments do not glide easily (perhaps double the massager effectiveness by using camphor oil or icy-hot). The next morning my legs were easily much less sore than I expected them to be. By the way, the 9 feet cord is perfect length even during my stays at random hotels. I do need to mention though that the massager did get hot after about 30min of continuous use.. not to the point of burning my hands but to the point where I was worried about the longevity of my awesome massager. Bottom line, this is a fantastic deal on a product that should last you years of satisfaction, and, its beginning to be the only product I think about whenever my muscles are sore instead of over-the-counter medicine or topical lotions like icy-hot.
ORIGINAL ========================
First of all, its quiet..like a low, deep "hmmmm" sound. The low speed setting feels underpowered for a massage, definitely not a deep massage feel, but some ladies might find a use for it ;). The high setting feels so much better for tense shoulder and back muscles. It vibrates stronger (not faster) at a more deeper throw cycle compared to the low setting, which by the way feels like an electric hair clipper.
The body feels solid, but I can twist it and it does flex a little. Nicely sculpted at the head (dimple-like indents) for easier hand grip when you need to hold it there. I like the angled-head for reaching the back compared to the magic wand massager. Attachments look like hard plastic but they are really semi-hard rubber - they do flex but provides ample pressure. I agree that the attachments rub your skin too hard without some kind of lotion or massage oil (over clothing is okay).
For the price, 5-stars.
