Spikes Double Finger PinwheelBest Finger Pinwheel Our Rating: 4.9/5 Why We Picked ItWe added the Spikes Double Finger Pinwheel because this is an interesting take on the classic Wartenberg pinwheel. Instead of the classic pinwheel on a handle, the Spikes Double Finger Pinwheel features two spiked pinwheels that attach to rings worn over your finger. It makes the pinwheel an extension of your finger, allowing you to more easily engage in sensory play with your partner. The pinwheels rotate freely, and because these are attached to your finger, you can “caress” your partner’s most sensitive areas with prickly sensations. While the all-metal design looks perfect, we found that the inner diameter of the rings may be too small for people with very big fingers. Who It's ForThe Spikes Double Finger Pinwheel is an excellent choice for experienced BDSM practitioners who enjoy playing with different sensations and want to have a Wartenberg pinwheel at the tip of their fingers. Reasons to Buy✓ All metal construction ✓ Finger loop ✓ Dual pinwheels ✓ Durable design Reasons to Avoid✗ It may be a tight fit for some users

Key Things about BDSM Pinwheels
Because the BDSM pinwheel is a medical device, it is most often made from stainless steel, and it looks sexy and devious. We have a detailed guide on how to choose a BDSM pinwheel, which you can read in our blog, so here we’ll only list a few basics you need to know when shopping for a pinwheel:
- Material – We favor stainless steel, but you can also opt for a model made from hard plastic. Metal pinwheels are more effective, more durable, and easier to clean and maintain.
- Wheel – you can get a model with a single spiked wheel or a model with multiple spiked wheels. Regardless of the model you choose, be cautious about how you use it, as excessive pressure can cause skin damage.
- Design – there are models with handles and models that have rings that go over your fingers, allowing you to caress your partner with the spiked wheels.
