Wartenberg pinwheel - bdsm kit by The Stockroom - review by imp

I love sharp and pointy play and anyone who’s perused this blog knows I like needle play. There’s another essential toy for the kinky toy box that I totally recommend … the Wartenburg Wheel or as I affectionately call mine, the Evil Pizza Cutter, not that I’ve tried it on pizza. It’s perfect for a medical scene or sensation play and is a versatile wee toy. It can be unbearable or tantalizing depending on the driver of the wheel. Being bound and helpless and having this little guy running all over your body parts can drive you wild.

It’s also known as the Wartenburg Pinwheel or the Wartenburg Neurowheel because in actuality it is a medical device designed for neurological use by a Dr Robert Wartenburg to test nerve responses on the skin. It’s stainless steel, roughly seven inches in length and at one end has a small wheel about 30mm in diameter sporting twenty two 5mm spikes. It’s packed with sensory delights, from light tickling pressure to firmer, more intense painful sensations. It has a tingly sensation that tickles and the pins are pointy enough to create an intense sensation but unless you use extreme pressure the spikes will not pierce the skin. For added sensations you can use icy cold water or hot water and incorporate temperature play and to heighten the sensations combine with a blindfold.

I love the anticipation the Wartenburg Wheel gives me when waiting for the sadist to roll it across my skin. When blindfolded switch it between a blunt knife blade and the wheel and make the submissive guess which one you are using, if they get it wrong well, you decide the consequences.

You can use it over more sensitive areas like nipples and even around the labia and clitoris for a little fear/trust play. If you are really devious you can adapt it to work with a TENS unit for electrical play to heighten the sensations of the pins on the skin but do your homework first, Google is your friend.

It comes packaged in a simple vinyl sleeve but if you want something more sturdy and something that will protect it a little better use a funky toothbrush container or something similar. To clean you can use hot soapy water but make sure you towel dry it straight away as it can rust if you don’t care for it well. The wheel turns extremely easily but if for any reason it doesn’t a little WD40 will fix the problem. You can also sterilize it in an autoclave or a bleach solution but again make sure it is completely dry after cleaning. Because there is a risk that skin can be pierced make sure you keep it sterilized or keep it as a one person toy.

This is one toy that everyone should have in their arsenal.

I freekin love mine!
