    Hilariously, not 5 min ago I was laid up in pain from a horrible cramp running up the side of my ankle, preventing me from walking for a moment. And I was thinking “damn I need a massager right now” and was laughing about just buying a Hitachi for it.

      I bought one for my wife thinking we’d use it to lazily pump out orgasms, but 90% of its usage ended up on my shoulders and back. That was their original intention after all. They rebranded it to distance the Hitachi name from sex stuff, because that’s what everyone thinks it’s intended for now.

      Anyway, go for the wireless one.

          I’d just get a real one - “Magic Wand Original” or the rechargeable version. There are a lot of fakes, so I’d avoid any counterfeit that tries to look real, or just get an altogether different massager. Go for a reputable authorized retailer like Adam and Eve or Good Vibrations.

          It melts certain types of headaches too. And yes, you can use it on your dick.

            Lmao thanks for letting me know about its other uses.

            I was looking at massage guns, like the one by arboleaf on Amazon, primarily for how focused it looks like I can be with hitting specific muscles. Being literally unable to walk until this cramp calmed down was terrible.

            But yes, these also all look like a solid wank.

      I bought a different brand of massager, for massaging, and it works really well for loosening tight muscles and easing pain. Highly recommend getting one.

      It did come with some attachments that seem tailored to groin muscles, but those can live in the junk drawer.

      And yes, everyone who sees it in my house makes a joke about using it to whack-off, but I have no problem with that.
