I ve been using the full sized Magic Wand Rechargeable for 6+ years but always found it leaving me numb due to how strong it was I preferred using it when the battery was near dead for less strength, and it was also so heavy that it left it hard to use in any position other than lying down it was nearly the length of my thigh and the same width as my arm! I just got the mini and I m loving it, I could even go for a smaller size (they should make a micro lol) it fits in my hand and is super light. It only has 3 speeds but it s plenty. It also doesn t have the other modes such as pulsing, which I honestly don t miss. This is WAY better than the full sized Magic Wands. I ll be reaching for this one over the full size way more than I even expected. I m smitten.
