I got this as an assignment, and I understand the whole point of it and everything, and I really thought I'd love it, but I just don't. Any tips or tricks to help me like it more?

Get a different one?

I have the other wheel offered on the site, and it's an enjoyable and very intense experience. I don't think it would be as much with the design of the one that you have.

Have you tried having your partner use it sensually while you are blindfolded?
We like it after a relaxing muscle rub to sort of wake up the nerve endings and also as a counterpoint to wax play. I've found that if you combine two sets of stimulation when using the wheel it makes it more enjoyable.

I know I enjoy hot/cold play with it. I like to dip mine (which can be submerged in water if I dry it off well) in cold water or hot water before use. Also, I agree using a blindfold makes it more exciting.

I'd have to say I agree with this sentiment. I recently ordered a pinwheel, and decided against that one because it looked like it wouldn't provide as much sensation as the other on the site.

I second the blindfold suggestion- helps you concentrate on the sensation. Also the massage suggestion- creates good contrast. It's great for waking up nerves and muscles and making them more sensitive. It's also a great substitute for the sensation of a blade.

But it's not for everyone. If you found it lackluster, that's what your review should reflect.

I wouldn't give up completely based off of that one Wartenburg Wheel. Try out some other styles and see what you think of those. Or it may just not be your thing at all, but either way, at least you'll have tried. Good luck!

Rawhide mentioned it being a substitute for the sensation of a blade. maybe that is why it doesn't do anything for me. We used to actually cut each other during foreplay, and maybe this just seems like the PG version of that, and isn't as exciting?

There are some sharper ones that can actually draw blood. Ive read that this onein particular is pretty dull. I have it set for my next order so I'll be able to testt this one out too. You're best off with a sharper one.

Have you tried using it on your partner instead?

I would agree with others, using it with a blindfold would heighten the experience. My wife and I just ordered this and that is how I'm anticipating using it on her.

^^That sounds like a great idea - thanks!

I definitely suggest trying the other wheel or using it on your partner. The sensation that the wheel provides isn't everyone's favorite to experience, but you might enjoy wielding it and watching your partner squirm!
