Frequently asked questions
What is a Wartenberg pinwheel?
A Wartenberg pinwheel is a small spiked rolling wheel originally designed for neurological testing that has become a popular BDSM sensation play tool — rolling the spiked wheel over skin creates a distinctive tingling stimulation.
How do I control the intensity?
Pressure controls sensation — gentle pressure creates light tickling; firmer pressure creates a sharper, more intense sensation.
Is it temperature play compatible?
Yes. Aluminium holds temperature well — cool in the refrigerator or warm in warm water before use for additional thermal sensation play.
How should I clean it?
Sterilise with rubbing alcohol or by boiling in water. Sterilise thoroughly between uses or before sharing with another partner.
What areas should I avoid?
Avoid the face, eyes, open wounds, broken skin, and mucous membranes.
