Wartenberg Wheel Tips

Ready to roll into the world of tingling delight? Let’s talk about the Wartenberg wheel. This small tool of torment might look like the evil cousin of a pizza cutter, but it’s actually a great gizmo for sensory heaven. First thing’s first: even though it looks pretty menacing, this prickly device is more about teasing than torture. So ease up on that pressure, tiger! 

Exploring Erogenous Zones With A Wartenberg Wheel

We’d recommend starting your journey on the less sensitive areas like the arms or legs. When you and your partner get comfortable with things, you can venture out to more thrilling areas. The back, inner thighs and even the belly are pretty darn responsive to the pin wheel’s gentle prickles. For the brave, try a light trail along the spine. Thank us later. 

You can shake things up by using it with other sensations. You can follow its path with a light feather for a contrasting touch, or even an ice cube for a hot-and-cold experience. This will truly have your partner squirming. 

The Wartenberg Pinwheel: More Than Just A Solo Act

While you can use it on it’s own, this spiky sidekick also goes great with a host of other sex toys. For even more of a sensory experience, pair it with a sexy blindfold or a bondage hood. This will seriously amplify the whole feeling. Your lover won’t know where the next tingle is coming from! 

For the power play lovers, think restraints, handcuffs and mouth gags. These all add extra anticipation and vulnerability to your sessions. That’s what it’s all about, after all! There’s tons more where that came from though. You can mix and match with pretty much anything you please, from vibrating cock rings to inflatable butt plugs. That’s the beauty of BDSM play. 

A friendly word of warning, speaking with your partner is crucial. Always check how they feel about the pressure, and always, always clean your pin wheel thoroughly after each use. Check out our range of sex toy cleaners which has some great options to keep your prickly pal in tip-top shape.

There you have it, our quick crash course in Wartenberg wheel wizardry. Whether you’re just buying your first bondage kit or you’re a seasoned vet, this little device can add a whole new dimension to your fun time. 

What Is A Speculum?

The speculum, the curious contraption that kind of looks like a duck’s bill that’s been met by an eager engineer. This medical marvel, sometimes linked with an awkward visit to the doctor, has wriggled its way into the bedrooms of some kinky souls who’re looking for new thrills. 

But what exactly is it? At the core, it’s a tool made to open and hold open a body cavity, either for inspection or play. They’re normally made from metal or plastic and come in different shapes and sizes. Each made for different uses and body parts. 

In the real world, they’re used for vaginal and anal checkups. But in the lovely world of kink, they’ve become gateways to new forms of pleasure and discovery. Some of us find the exposure and vulnerability thrilling. While others like the visual aspects, or even the feeling of being opened. 

How To Use A Speculum: A Journey Inside

Now that you know what they are, let’s get into the nitty gritty. Whether you’re exploring vaginally or anally, the steps are pretty similar, but there are some key differences to note. For vaginal use, start off by getting super comfortable and relaxed. Some candles, a glass of wine, some chilled music. A little foreplay also goes a long way here!

Next, add a liberal amount of lube to both the tool and the vaginal opening. Then, gently insert the closed vaginal speculum, and once in place, slowly open the bills using the mechanism. We’re being serious here, go slowly. And there you have it; you’re now gazing into the great unknown! 

Using an anal speculum involves a little more patience and prep. The anal sphincter is a shy little muscle, so be sure to take your time. Use loads of anal lube. Seriously, go wild here, and start off with a small size. Like the above, putting it in should be very slow and gentle. This allows for the muscles to relax. Open the speculum bit by bit, and take plenty of care to any discomfort. 

Either way, communication is super important. When using with a partner, always talk about any discomfort and feelings. Remember, and we can’t stress this enough, slow and steady wins the race. We wouldn’t want anyone having to take an embarrassing trip to A&E after all! 

Safety First For Speculum Use

Before you get stuck into bodily caverns, let’s talk about safety. Whilst these are super sexy and exciting, they require serious respect and care. Like most sex toys, hygiene is vital. Be sure to sanitise your tools before and after each use. 

As mentioned already, it’s crucial to use lots of lube. Friction is not welcome here, people! Water-based lubes are a general go-to for pretty much all speculums. If you hadn’t noticed already, we’re trying to drum into your heady to go slow and steady to begin with. Rome wasn’t built in a day, and neither should your speculum adventures! Listen to your or your partner’s body, and respect its limits. 

Never, ever force it open wider than is comfortable. Always talk with your partner and don’t do anything unless its fully consensual. If you’re using a metal one, you might want to consider warming it up first. Nobody likes a cold, jumpy surprise when it comes to those sensitive areas! 

Lastly, know when to call it quits. If anyone starts to feel any pain, bleeding or discomfort, stop right away and seek some medical help if needed. 

Speculum Playmates: Toys That Play Well Together

You can pair them with anything you like really. For some internal massage action, you can use a classic vibrators or g-spot vibrator. A lubed up realistic dildo or squirting dildo can provide some thrilling visuals when inserted. A warm or cool glass dildo can be an amazing experience too. 

You can also use anything from anal beads, to strap ons and love eggs. 

And let’s not forget about good old flashlights and inspection mirrors, for those who want to truly see into the abyss. Don’t get this confused with fleshlights though. 

So there you have it, the ins and outs (pun intended) of these weird and wonderful medical fetish toys. They’re a truly unique way to delve into new depths of pleasure. Just remember to always be safe and gentle. 

What Is A Dilator?

You could call these the unsung hero of the sex toy world! They’re like personal trainers for your privates, helping you stretch and strengthen in ways you never thought were possible! But what exactly are they, and how do they work?

In a nutshell, they’re tube-shaped tools made to gently and slowly stretch the vaginal or anal openings. They often come in sets of increasing sizes, so that you can progress at your own pace. Each size is like taking a step closer to your goals. 

A set of dilators are a little like a choose-your-own adventure book for your body. Vaginal dilators smart small, normally like the size of a finger, and go up in size steadily. Anal dilator sets follow a similar patten, but should have flared bases for safety. No one wants to get one of these bad boys lost inside! The beauty of these is that you can really go at your own pace. Start small, go slow, get comfortable and move up when you’re ready. Like levelling up your character on a video game, but way sexier and exciting!

They also have quite a few uses. From actual medical reasons, like helping with vaginismus, to more leisurely uses like prepping for large toys like a huge dildo or double dildos. Or purely to try out some new sensations. In other words, they’re practical, versatile and always there to lend a hand (or a shaft in this case). 

They’re usually made from body-safe materials like silicone, stainless steel and glass. Some even come with vibrating features, because why not add a little buzz to your stretch? Take a look at the rest of our vibrators for more. 

Dilator Dynamics: How To Use Properly

The method is quite similar whether you’re using them for the vaginal or anal regions. Just like the speculum, for vaginal dilation, you need to be calm and relaxed. Being aroused is a big bonus. Foreplay or masturbation is also great here. Why not try a wand vibrator or bullet vibrator to really get you going? Just remember to use lots of lube! 

Again, anal play requires a little more care. Don’t skimp out on the anal lube, and insert as slowly and gently as possible. It’s a marathon, not a sprint, so only increase the size and movement when you feel comfortable enough. 

If you’re using a dilator set, start with the smallest size, inserting slowly and gently. Breathe deeply and relax your muscles. You can either hold it in place or move it around slightly – just do whatever feels best for you. As you progress, you can try the larger sizes and test out different thrusting motions. Before you know it, you’ll be able to handle all kinds of dildos, rabbit vibrators and butt plugs! 

In any case, always listen to your body. There’s no rush, and progress isn’t always so evident. Some days you might feel extra giddy, and others you might want to stick with the smaller sizes. Just remember, it’s all part of the journey!

Safety Tips for Dilators

The same rules apply for dilators as they do speculums. Let’s summarise: Be sure to always keep your intimate toys nice and clean and hygienic. Always clean before and after use, and invest in some special sex toy cleaners so that they last the most amount of time possible. 

Lube is your best friend here, be sure to get your hands (and bits) on some good quality ones. Water-based are your best bet here, and won’t damage your tools. Don’t ever force anything inside, especially if there’s any pain, or worse, bleeding. Always listen to your body. If there is any serious pain or discomfort, you may need to see a doctor. Don’t say we didn’t warn you! 

They’re designed for prep for sex, or if you want to try out any other sex toys. This means you can really use your imagination where you want things to go. Why not get your partner to put on a penis extender? Or if you’re really ready to step things up, check out the Great American Challenge. The possibilities are endless! In essence, they’re a great way to expand your horizons… literally. Just remember to use safely and responsibly!
