Ha
[edit]Ha... Wow:
Wartenberg wheels are a popular BDSM toy, proven by its constant presence on the bestsellers list of BDSM retailers. Similar in appearance to a pizza cutter, this wheel of prickly little pins is rolled over a person's skin, generating a unique, tingly sensation which many people really respond to. The pins are pointy enough to feel quite stimulating wherever they go but are not sharp enough to puncture the skin unless excessive pressure is used.
Many people "really respond" to it? The pins "feel quite stimulating wherever they go"?
I'm not sure whether the problem here is NPOV or Original Research.
Honestly. Search for a children's television series and this is what you find... The rabbit in the suitcase 22:36, 25 March 2007 (UTC)
- Well, you DID search on the Internet, you wascally wabbit. Haven't you got the filter? You really responded and seem quite stimulated, I'll be amazed if this is your first such surprise. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.200.159.231 (talk) 02:06, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
Rarely Used?
[edit]Neurology in the US uses a Wartenberg wheel often. Although cited, I didn't find the claim in the source. For cost effectiveness, a bent paper clip is often used to induce a sharp sensation. 108.8.11.201 (talk) 06:59, 7 March 2014 (UTC)
Hygiene Concerns
[edit]"Because of hygienic concerns, these devices are rarely used any more" -- It's unclear which device, the metal one or the plastic one, both? Is this even true, the metal ones could be sterilised like any other medical equipment and the plastic ones are likely single use much like other plastic surgical implements/equipment. Anyone have a reference for this statement? 106.70.217.198 (talk) 10:11, 3 March 2016 (UTC)
