A swing perfect for your adult playground!
This is a really cool accessory for any adventurous couple to try! It does require some planning and patience however, once you get into the "swing of it" you will look forward to playtime.Published: February 20, 2009
Pros:
Durable and fun with no limit to possible positions.
Cons:
Does require some practice to get good at it.
We looked at swings for a couple of months and then one night as we were shopping online for sex toys and getting excited we purchased the Topco Love Swing. It came in a sturdy cardboard box with a typical sexy model couple on the outside. Inside was the swing, which looked intimidating at first, with a giant coil spring, a mount for the ceiling and a couple of hooks. The hooks have spring loaded latches on them so nothing will slip off which we think is a nice safety feature. First order of business was finding a discrete place to put it up because the ceiling mount is an "eye hook" which is pretty much permanent. At first we checked out door ways but we were afraid the confined area would take something form our experience. We eventually decided to put it in the middle of my husbands home office which is just off our bedroom. The eye hook is next to a ceiling vent and isn't so discrete after all. There has to be a better way to hide the mount when not in use...
Once we got it all set-up there is a bit of adjusting required. There are numerous straps. Bottom strap, back strap, and two leg straps. The top of the swing is a curved piece of metal and has a padded bar across it which is nice to holding on to and lifting yourself while the straps are adjusted to fine tune your position. We found the padding to be OK however, a bit thicker and wider would be nice. To supplement my comfort I like to put a hand towel on the strap I might be resting my butt or lower back.
Our first use didn't go all that well. We were extremely horny and all the adjusting as well as getting in and out was a little bit frustrating. As funny as it might sound, I would recommend getting all the adjustments done before you actually intend to have a swing sex session. After the first use we began to enjoy it and tried a few different positions that were illustrated in the directions that are sent with the Love Swing. We found it especially great for oral sex! The "receiver" while being helplessly suspended can be accessed from many angles. My husband also bought a piece of chain so the Love Sex Swing can be positioned closer to the floor so he can lay on his back and penetrate me while being completely suspended above him.
Storage is a bit tricky. The box it came in didn't work so well for storage so we simply keep the swing in an old suitcase when not in use. We think this product deserves 4 stars simply because we honestly think it takes getting use to because the straps you balance on could be wider.

Follow-up commentary
3 months after original review
So we have been "swinging" for a few months now... that is with the Love Swing, and not that other kind of "swinging” which I have no problem with if that's your cup of tea! My hubby and I are becoming a fair bit more skillful in the art of “trapeze lovemaking”, and consider the chance to use the Love Swing as very exciting and special. If you had read my initial review you might ask “so what changed?”
First of all we decided to eliminate the giant suspension spring. This eliminated the issues of trying to manage our motion and balance as we became use to the swing’s idiosyncrasies. The second improvement we did some “testing”, to determine the ideal height adjustment for the various positions and activities we are trying to perfect. Now we have a little “cheat sheet” that we use to determine what height (how many links on the chain) we hang the swing at, depending on who is in the swing and what we are doing to each other.
This might sound a bit too “in-depth” for sex, however, the actual height difference between my husband and I is significant enough that it has to be taken into consideration. (Pun intentional on the in-depth!) I still maintain 4 stars approval but after a few more massive orgasms on the swing I will consider it a 5 star investment.

how to keep this decreet

how do you hide your sex swing from others
-
I say you should let people see them. It's a good way to keep relatives out of your business.
-
I don't have one but If I did I would have it in my living room near my pole. If my family sees it I wont care, its my life and Im a grown woman and don't need your permission so why bother to hiding it.

sex swing

i would like some input from some people who have tried this
-
We have this one, and it works well. I hang it from a better mount than the eyebolt that comes with it. Check out this thread link to see what I'm talking about. I also have a heavy duty spring instead of the one that came with it.
These swings can be a lot of fun. There are positions you can try that would be very difficult anywhere else. All in all, I'd have to say I like it. -
I have not tried this swing. We have the pleasure swing. Also with a heavy duty spring. You can check out my review for more info on mounting the hardwear and materials used.

chocolate77How easy is the taking down of the sex swing when rhe swing is not in use -
Quote: How easy is the taking down of the sex swing when rhe swing is not in usePretty easy! We just unclip it and leave the hook up for later. Just keep in mind that if you have it in your bedroom some of your friends may wonder what the hell that big ass hook is for, for that matter they would prob think that no mater where you hooked it.

Thank you for viewing Love swing – sex toy for couples review page!
How much weight did it or will it support?
Once you get into it how comfortable/secure do you feel? Rated, say, on a scale of 1-5?
The instructions state "You can use the spring when the weight applied is less than 200 lbs." Without the spring it says there is a maximum weight capacity of 400 lbs! It's not only a love swing it's suitable for a bunch of loving "swingers!"
Comfort with 1 as low to 5 being the luxury of my bed.. I give it a 3 - 4 depending on the position. It's high on the kink factor and a new approach to spice things up but we don't find it a necessity for having sex.
200 lbs per partner? Or both partners? In a position that requires both partners to be in the swing 200 lbs just doesn't sound feasible.
The instructions say the swing can be used with the spring for a maximum weight of 200 lbs. As this reads I would assume that is an absolute total for each partner. This would only apply if each of you use the swing to completely support your weight. Without the spring it has a 400 lbs capacity. Without the spring, it's the same swing however, you just lose the "bouncing effect." For us we have not been able to "master" many positions where we each are completely suspended by the swing so the weight limits are no big deal for us.
Nice review!
