KinkLab hit the ball out of the park with this infamous plaything. This thing is quite synonymous with BDSM, and I think when most people think of bloodplay or medical play, this pops into mind, as well. I've been waiting awhile to invest in one, and I couldn't be happier about this one. The Wartenberg Pinwheel- Shiny. Sharp. Stabby. Wonderful. Titillating. Absolutely fantastic! It came packaged in an odd little cylindrical cannister, it was extremely hard to open and I'm not even really sure how my husband got around to opening it, but it proved a task.

This toy is a great introduction to bloodplay and a great tool for those who love sensory play. It comes in a lovely leather (or leather-like) pouch which lets you easily keep it with the rest of your toys and prevents you from being terrified of being stabbed everytime you reach into your treasure chest, whatever that may be (a drawer, a tote bag, a real chest, who knows! Y'all get pretty creative with hiding your adult toys~)

This pinwheel is made of metal (a 9 on the EF safety scale), therefore it should be taken care of a little differently than most sex toys. For example, it needs to be dried completely after washing, to make sure it doesn't rust. It should also be kept up in a safe location away from innocent bystanders such as kids and other roommates, because, you know, it can stab ya and such. It's a little under 7", which I would say probably puts it right at 7" in it's pouch. That's totally easy to hide, if you ask me. And because of the small pouch it comes with, nobody will really realize what it is. They will probably want to open it and then they will totally know what you do in the bedroom if they don't already.

Although I haven't used it for temperature play yet, the unforgiving metal is perfect for just that. I would never suggest putting toys in the freezer or microwave for something like that, though. Instead, get a bowl of warm or cold water, and let the toy rest in there for awhile. But make sure to keep it dried off so that it doesn't rust, like I said before!

Now as for using it with lubes, I wouldn't really suggest that. It may get up in the wheel, and it also may be hard to keep control of what kind of pressure you're putting on the skin while using it, not to mention, it would probably cause quite a bit of slipping.

I fell in love with this as soon as I felt this in my hand. Now, I'm not the one who wields this type of stuff in the bedroom, but trust me when I say that it leaves delightful little marks wherever you put it. It can provide many pleasant sensations, from tickles to pain. This toy is quite versatile and I absolutely adore it.
