Liberator‘s Axis Hitachi is seriously one of the greatest things I’ve ever reviewed, if not the greatest. The Axis Hitachi is a Liberator Shape product with a foam core in a trapezoidal wedge shape. If you unzip the cover, you’ll find it’s actually made up of a top and bottom half, and the top half is cleaved down the center almost all the way to make room to wedge a Hitachi inside. There is a hole to one side of the cover to allow the cord to exit, and a clear plastic window to view and control the Hitachi’s settings on top. The inner portions are protected from moisture with a nylon barrier, and the colorful outer part is machine washable.

Carnivalesq’s Illustrated Axis Hitachi Positioning Guide

I drew the images that are to follow. I hope you enjoy them, I hope they illustrate what I’m talking about, and I hope no one is offended by the nudity. I made some effort to portray a range of body types, but I openly admit the images are not all that diverse. Liberator has an instructional video of a straight couple showing off positions using the Axis Hitachi, and I wanted to do a dyke version, complete with irreverent position names. Enjoy!

Figure 1. “Call me up whenever you wanna grind.”

I can’t tell you what this did to me, but my body will never be the same. In all honesty, I really like this position. It’s easy to use your feet and grip onto the Axis to keep it in place, but it works best if the Axis Hitachi is anchored against a pile of blankets or the wall to keep it from sliding away once you really get going, or you’ll find yourself creeping backwards on the bed to keep up. I’ll get to talking more abour knees later, but this position puts minimal pressure on my knees and I’m able to grab pillows to lean on if my wrists start hurting.

Dildo Compatibility: There’s potential for being simultaneously penetrated in this position if you have a partner with fingers or a hand-held dildo behind you. Solo, no penetration is possible. Epiphora commented that “the Hitachi takes up like the entire vulva,” and therefore wanted to know “if I have to like buttsex to have it work for partner play.” I argue that the Hitachi does not take up the whole vulva, but recognize that I may, in fact, be super human. Either way, I’m going to say that with everything oriented as seen above, penetrative strap-on sex would be a challenge because whoever wields the cock will have some potential trouble finding a place for their legs, depending on the stance you like. If you’re a wide-stancer, you may love this (but you may still find other challenges, such as height, angle, etc.). By the by, buttsex might be easier here.

Figure 2. “Holy Potentially Hazardous Orgasms, Batman!”

Second verse, similar to the first, just turn around and don’t lean forwards. My knees aren’t great, and I’ve probably got a few pounds on the gal in the picture, but regardless, the Axis Hitachi makes this position easier/possible. This is a position I rarely accomplish during sex because I get afraid I’m gonna hurt my partner and/or wanna lay down. I am also the laziest wanker on the planet, and never like to masturbate standing, kneeling, or even sitting in a chair as the enjoyment factor goes down when I am less than horizontal, but for this? For this, I willingly, happily and readily make the sacrifice hop on.

I like to press down on the cushion where the Hitachi is underneath to keep the Hitachi in place and prevent it from shifting as I move on it, so that I can grind firmly on it. The wide upper part of the cushion I’m straddling helps to support my thighs so this position is not as taxing as simply kneeling, thus maximizing the amount of time I can perform magic. If you have bad knees, this might not make this position suddenly ideal for you. Listen to your knees. It’s not really ideal for me, but it’s definitely do-able and with less strain than there would be in kneeling for ten minutes without the Axis Hitachi, so I, pun intended, come out on top.

Dildo Compatibility: In this position I can wedge the base of the Ridgeback dildo under the Axis Hitachi right between where the gal’s calves are in the picture (dildo not pictured). The end result was the same basic position as above, but each time I moved downwards I was riding the dildo. If you do this or manage similar, you will find it impossible to make facial expressions other than the one shown in Figure 2.

Figure 3. “Putting the BAD(ass) in Tribadism.”

Tribadism is basically just scissoring, vulva to vulva sex, and something no one wants to do with me. I don’t know why. Regardless, I can see that the Axis Hitachi would help lift the bum of the upright partner and provide intense vibrations for the entire floor of your house, so I suggest you give this a shot. Gal with the bad knees goes on the bottom, them’s the rules.

In case you’re wondering, yes, it does appear that the girl on top is performing a breast exam on the gal she’s perched on. Not too sure why, but it’s a good healthy practice to get into!

If you don’t have a second person you can just lay against the Axis Hitachi like gal on the bottom is doing and use your feet to keep it close and anchored. This is an excellent solo position, and one of the easiest to maintain for an extended period of time.

Dildo Compatibility: If you are determined to be penetrated every which way, you could do so here by anchoring the low end of the Axis against the wall to keep it from moving, and then hold a dildo against the Axis beneath the head of the Hitachi, and move forwards onto it. The zippers of the cover come together here, so you could try unzipping them a bit, put a flared base dildo in, and zip up again close to it to help keep it from moving around too much. Just be careful not to hurt the zippers.

Figure 4. “Kickass Doggy Style.”

If I have to explain why this is kickass, then you obviously aren’t paying attention. Foam cushion, lifted and readily accessible rear, the amount of energy produced by a small atomic bomb focused against your clit… I’ll take fifty.

Dildo Compatibility: See Figure 4 for details.

Figure 5. “Ground Control to Major Tom, commencing countdown, engines on…”

My intention, with this image, is to give you a “before the position” pose. In approximately one minute, the red-head will shed her lingerie and hop on. Her bum will be supported by the Axis and the vibrations will stimulate both partners. Here’s to hoping that when she orgasms she doesn’t fly off like a freaking rocket.

Dildo Compatibility: See Figure 5. In case you are wondering, Mohawk Boi is wearing a Joque Harness in the color “Winter Blue.” Yep, I’m that much of a nerd that I drew a specific harness on my cartoon person.

More Thoughts and Findings Regarding the Axis Hitachi

• Other things can be put into the Axis Hitachi aside from a Hitachi. Scandalous, I know. So far I have successfully seated my Dangervibe Mini and the LELO Iris into the Axis. These are biggish toys, but smaller than the Hitachi, so there’s the potential for them to shift around a bit because the design of the Axis accounts for space for a Hitachi to be anchored inside, rather than the shorter more slender vibes and toys the Wing caters to. The Iris worked best because the silicone bits gripped against the interior nylon casing and kept it from moving too much. The Iris can be oriented curve up or curve down to change the way it touches you. Awesome!

• It’s loud. It’s not just that the Hitachi that’s loud, or that the vibrations of the Hitachi as they spread through the Axis and your bed make it sound as though your bed is an airline runway busily launching small planes, but it’s also the fact that it’s physically impossible to ride the Axis silently. You try, you will fail, and there’s no smoothing over the insane sounds that will accompany the most blindingly intense orgasm you’ve ever experienced. That kind of thing is best done without witnesses, so I only play with the Axis Hitachi when the house is empty. I have mapped it out so I know exactly when that will happen so that I won’t miss a single precious second of… STOP! It’s Hitachi Time.

• The Axis Hitachi lets you do things you didn’t know could be done, namely the effortless, hands-free use of a Hitachi for masturbation or sex. I like that the vibrations can be felt in the whole pillow against my thighs and legs, which makes me feel like I’m engaged with the vibrations in a different way. Holding the Hitachi I always end up pressing it too hard against myself which means I often have to stop before I’m satisfied because I’ve bruised my clit or gone numb down there. With it mounted in the Axis, I am able to spread my labia and lean against it slowly, rock against it and let it just barely brush my clit, all of which is so much more intense and doesn’t make me go numb.

If you have a Hitachi, you need the Axis Hitachi. You will not regret the purchase. Will not. Seriously, if you’re considering getting it, get it. If you are really wondering if it’s worth the cash, know that it absolutely is. This is nothing you can get from pillows, as they do not have the density of Liberator‘s foam. The support and versatility are top notch. Liberator really thought this one out well. It’s perfect, and as soon as you get it, you’ll start coming up with your own fabulous positions to get into with it. Best thing ever.
