Everything about Wartenberg Wheel totally explained
A
Wartenberg wheel, also called a
Wartenberg pinwheel or
Wartenberg neurowheel, is a
medical device for
neurological use. It was originally designed by Dr
Robert Wartenberg to test
nerve reactions as it glided across the
skin. A Wartenberg wheel is generally made of
stainless steel with a handle of approximately seven inches in length. The
wheel, which has evenly spaced radiating sharp pins, rotates around as it's rolled across the flesh. A disposable
plastic version is available.
Non-medical use
Wartenberg wheels are a popular
BDSM toy, proven by its constant presence on the bestsellers list of BDSM retailers. In practice, it's often rolled over a person's skin, generating a unique sensation. The pins are pointy enough to be felt, but are not sharp enough to puncture the skin, unless excessive pressure is used.
