> [@AwSnappity](#): > > I wouldn’t be opposed to recommendations or advice, although I would feel bad about hijacking the thread. I’ve read “help me orgasm!” threads in the past, and tried some of the stuff (vibrator, fingers + handheld mirror + diagrams, loving and gentle partners…) And none of it worked, huh? At risk of further hijacking the thread I’ll only ask, have you tried the HItachi Magic Wand? Other vibrators just don’t compare. ---

I bought this one: [http://www.babeland.com/page/TIB/PROD/DG215790](http://www.babeland.com/page/TIB/PROD/DG215790) because I didn’t have money for the Hitachi Magic Wand. Those suckers go for over $50 these days. I figured with this one, I had the G-spot, clit, and anus covered. It’s rated #2 on the Toys in Babeland “best sellers” list. (The Hitachi Magic Wand is #3, incidentally.) I’m still not there yet. P.S. I disabled the link so that you have to C&P to access it. NSFW obviously. Hopefully I’m still on the mods’ good/ambivalent side…? **belladonna** : This will be a totally weird question, so don’t feel obligated to answer it. If you don’t want to, I understand. But your period lasts for more than a day, right? So do you just wear the same underwear for however many days in a row? Do you wash it every night? ---
