It's no secret that my Hitachi is my best friend (my dog is second, and my brand new husband is third...but he knows that). I own a lot of toys and vibrators, but nothing comes close in terms of giving me mind-numbing orgasms as a Hitachi. The only downed is that it needs to be plugged into a wall and it has a short cord. (I actually brought along an extension cord along on my honeymoon). Of course, it's the electric power that gives this thing its punch. A battery-powered vibe as good as a Hitachi would be my dream toy. Here's my question to any female who owns or has tried an Hitachi - have you discovered a battery-powered vibe anywhere as good? I'm sure there are a lot of good vibes out there but I'm really only interested in comparing what's out there to the Hitachi.
