For those looking to try something new in the sensory play department, the Fetish Fantasy Series Wartenberg Wheel is a great tool to try. It does not have needles so there is little chance of puncturing skin and its small size and light weight makes it easy to manipulate. Add in the included blindfold and your journey to a new fetish will be well on its way.The Fetish Fantasy Series Wartenberg Wheel has a handle made from red plastic. The shaft and wheel are made from stamped medical grade stainless steel. The construction should hold up to all but the heaviest of play. The included blindfold is made from vinyl and has a elastic band to hold it on.
The handle is 3 1/2" long and tapers from 5/8" down to 1/2" diameter. This makes it comfortable to hold and will give you plenty of control. From the handle, the shaft/wheel extends 2 1/2" and is formed as sort of an oval cup before narrowing back in to the wheel. The wheel is 3/4" diameter from point to point and riveted to the shaft. Each 'tooth' or pin is 1/16" tall.
The weight comes in at 8 oz. so it is light and easy to control.
The included blindfold is made from vinyl and has a elastic band to hold it on.
When I first tried to use this the wheel it did not like to move freely if I applied any significant amount of pressure. There was no obvious reason for this, it just seemed to be binding on the axle (rivet) and wheel. Well, metal to metal contact never works good without some kind of lube. I put two drops of silicone lube on the wheel and now it works wonderfully. Whether the pressure is light or heavy the wheel spins freely.
With a light touch it will feel like a ladybug crawling on your skin. Push down hard and it feels like a blunt knife sliding across the skin. Put a blindfold on your partner and you can have an even more fun time.
You may need to reapply a lubricant if you are using it for extended periods of time. Although, if used with a massage oil or lotion, you should not have to.
Due to the plastic, the Wartenberg Wheel can not be boiled, although if you have a heavy leather glove or tongs you could hold the wheel portion in boiling water for 5-10 minutes. You can use a 10% bleach solution if needed for sanitizing. If you do use bleach, do not let it soak for very long as it may etch the stainless. A good anti-bacterial soap and water will do nicely for general cleaning. The hardest part will be cleaning the wheel/axle area. The best way to do this will be to apply the soap or bleach solution and roll the wheel a few times. Do the same while rinsing.
Dry it off before storing. The handle is hollow so you may want to prop it up on the wheel so the handle can drain.
The Fetish Fantasy Series Wartenberg Wheel comes in a small box with a picture of it on the front. Aside from "Fetish Fantasy Series" printed on it it is pretty discreet. The box is the size of a small tube of toothpaste so it could be stored fairly easily. Inside is the pin wheel and a blind fold to help with the fun.
It does say that "Colors may vary" and I have seen it pictured in black.
I'll admit that I am not into pain so when I saw this in my assignment cart I was a bit leery to accept it. After talking with a couple of contributors about it, I took the plunge. Glad I did. It is something that I think everyone should at least try out once.
I did not like it around my genital area but it was nice everywhere else. Stomach, nipples, back and neck were all great places to roll it across. With light pressure it really felt like a small bug crawling across my skin. Firmer pressure felt like a pin-point massage.
The only problem is when the wheel stops rolling, it then 'bites' into the skin. I think that is why I did not like it around my manly bits.

Interesting for sensory play.

I have this one and it's perfect for me. It's not too sharp and not too dull. This is good for beginners
nice
Ha, Ha..something EVERY medical school student has in their pocket.
Whenever I'm able to afford this, I'll make sure to surprise my boyfriend. =D
The other one looks better.
Might try it, I wonder how the sensation would compare to a traditional pinwheel.
interesting
I know this sounds silly, but I really like the red handle - gives it a vintage 1950s style, which I find to be very appealing.
i like the looks of this onw
Oh the fun that can be had with these
It's a major let down.
hmmm...
I like it.
I think the other one is a lot better.
Super good!
Looks scary.
something different for me
This looks very interesting!
This one's a cheap thrill!
Be careful with your moms tracing wheels! Theyre not the same, those are sharp needles. This wheel is slightly rounder and shouldnt cut you.
cute
cool
wow
My mom has something similar in her sewing box for transferring patterns to fabric, I wonder if it would work in a similar fashion...
doesn't look as good as the other wheel, I hope the other one comes back in stock soon
I'd love to know how this one compares to the other WW on EF!
i love the pinwheel, i have to order this one!
Now it looks like a baby pizza cutter to me. I am curious as to how it feels on the skin.
Sounds fun
it creeps me out
i love this I'm ordering one tonight, cant wait to get one!
Like bringing the kitchen to the bedroom...
This had reviews at one point.
What a teeny wheel!
I'm sorry that the tool is not available for purchase =)
This looks like something my acupuncturist would have used on me after my car accident.
