- Have a sturdy frame or free ceiling space
- Are an average weight female (or below 130 pounds)

The Bondage Boutique Deluxe Fetish Spinning Sex Swing features a compact and sturdy design, composed of a steel eyebolt, bar, chains, and a spring frame. The swing is suspended by durable black straps with padding where they contact the skin, aiming to provide both support and comfort. The package includes a carabiner for easy installation, especially for those with non-standard setups like a metal frame. The swing is designed to be easily adjustable, with well-written instructions guiding safe ceiling installation. Though it’s built for durability and stability, the comfort level may be an issue for some users.
First Impressions
This sex swing arrived in a discreet, compact, and well-packaged box. The steel frame, chains, and black padded straps gave an impression of durability and quality and did not disappoint. While the installation instructions included were straightforward and thorough, they are not necessary if you don’t plan on installing the swing in your ceiling. My initial concern about the load-bearing capability of the chains was quickly alleviated after stress testing it with my own weight (close to 200 pounds). Initially happy and excited upon setup, my demeanor changed when I called my wife in to test it for herself.Performance
While the swing’s build quality is solid, the comfort level fell short, especially for longer use or heavier individuals. My wife and I found it difficult to achieve a comfortable position, despite brainstorming various techniques and making multiple adjustments. The padding on the straps aren’t very thick and the metal crossbar isn’t wide enough to provide adequate support. I did appreciate the sturdiness of the swing, but manoeuvrability was limited, particularly for my wife, who couldn’t reach the crossbar when seated – while the chain length is adjustable the primary straps are not making adjusting difficult for the one in the swing.Techniques
We tried various positions with the swing, finding the most effective to be laying with the bottom strap over the back of the hips and the second strap positioned higher up the back for better support. Sitting directly on the strap or using a face-down position was uncomfortable. The stirrups, while comfortable and adjustable, required assistance to utilize effectively.
The swing is aesthetically simple, featuring black straps and silver steel components, which should fit seamlessly into most BDSM setups. While the design is basic, it hits important points for strap adjustments. That said, with a bit more thought put into the design, I would have been willing to pay extra for a few more adjustable points, thicker padding, and a wider crossbar and seating area to enhance comfort. The width of the hanging straps span 19.5 inches (49.5cm) which isn't quite wide enough - always add a few extra inches beyond your waist diameter if possible to move the pressure from your hips to your buttocks. Overall, the current design prioritizes functionality, but sacrifices some comfort and usability for larger or heavier users. The whole package is easy to take down and small enough to tuck away in a drawer or under the bed if company is expected - just don't let their attention wander to the ring in the ceiling.
While it is possible to get seated in the swing without help, it is significantly easier with assistance. The steel crossbar is especially helpful for getting settled but the partner seated in the swing will definitely need help with the stirrups. Additionally, the straps stemming from the crossbar are too long for my wife to reach it comfortably and are unfortunately not adjustable. This swing is not suitable for someone with mobility or grip issues due to its limited accessibility and need for assistance during use.
The swing feels well-made and durable, with sturdy steel components and high-quality black straps that give confidence in their construction. My initial skepticism about the load-bearing capacity of the chains was quickly dispelled after stress testing it at close to 200 pounds and a bit of bouncing to be extra sure. The swing is quiet during use, aside from the extra chain length clinking, which can be easily fixed by securing it with tape. Overall, there are no signs of poor quality in the materials or construction.
At $100, the swing offers good value for the quality and sturdiness of the materials. However, I would have happily paid an additional $25 for improvements such as a wider bar and thicker padding to enhance comfort. While most of the swing is adjustable, the straps hanging directly from the bar are not, which is a missed opportunity for greater flexibility and comfort that likely wouldn’t have added much to the price if implemented. One unique advantage of this swing is that, if it doesn’t fully meet your needs, its parts can be repurposed for future use. The included length of chain, carabiner, spring, and eyebolt can easily be used in conjunction with another swing you purchase later. This flexibility makes it a practical investment, even if you eventually decide to upgrade or try a different model.
While the swing did not meet my expectations in terms of comfort and usability, it may still live up to the promises made on the website for those of lesser weight. The swing is sturdy, and the chains and materials held up well during stress testing. However, comfort was an issue, especially for users over 130 pounds, as the padding was insufficient and the straps lacked adjustability in crucial areas. Maneuverability was also limited, particularly without assistance, making it difficult to fully enjoy the swing's potential.
The swing arrived in a discreet, compact box as expected, with no indication of the contents on the outside. While the packaging wasn’t custom like some larger products from other brands, it was well-organized, with each component fitting neatly inside. All parts, including the chains, carabiner, and straps, were individually wrapped in plastic to protect them during shipping. The packaging was functional and provided clear, thorough instructions for installation.
All materials used in the swing are body-safe, latex-free, and easy to clean with a rag soaked in warm water and antibacterial soap. The pads are covered in microfiber which makes wiping them down simple. The swing does not come with a dedicated storage method but can easily and safely be stored in a sack or bag of your choice.
| Width | Main sitting straps: 19.5 inches |
| Height | Adjustable inches |
| Materials | Industrial-grade steel, nylon |
| Maximum Weight | 330 lbs |
| Fastening | Single hook |
- Sturdy and reliable construction
- Made from high-quality materials
- Highly adjustable for various setups
- Neutral colors that blend into most BDSM setups
- Uncomfortable for people on the larger side
- Pads could be larger and thicker for better support
- Crossbar needs to be longer for better stability and comfort
- Height straps are not adjustable, limiting flexibility
While I was satisfied with the discreet packaging and impressed by the swing's build quality, the overall comfort left much to be desired. This product may be better suited for a lower weight class and perhaps narrower hips, as it did not provide adequate support or comfort for me or my wife. If you are considering this product and intend on being the one in the swing I would recommend being under 130 pounds.
