This product is a sleek, black, heavy duty swing. Its fully adjustable padded straps are surprisingly comfortable and have multiple positioning options. You can wear them under your back, butt, shoulders, chest or legs to complement your desired position and let the swing take the full weight of your body. The leg stirrups provide extra support in a variety of positions, while the detachable wrist and ankle cuffs give extra versatility. It is strong and trustworthy with heavy duty metal spring, frame, chain, 360º swivel and hook attachments included.
Installation
It may seem boring, but it really is an important thing to cover with sex swings. The swing came with a heavy duty screw eye for screwing into the ceiling. Alongside this was a chain, connected with two karabiners at each end and a heavy duty spring. If you’re like me and already have a wall mount installed then just hang the first karabiner with the spring and you’re good to attach the swing straight away. My wall mount already has a 360º swivel, but it’s a nice touch that the swing has one installed in it too! If you don’t have any mounts previously installed you’ll need to install the screw eye. If installing into a standard ceiling ensure you find the wooden joists/beams first. You won’t be able to just screw this anywhere as you need to ensure the location is load-bearing. You can use a metal screw detecting device to help you better locate the beams. Use the installation manual provided. If in doubt, get help from that friend who’s usually good with this sort of thing. Just make sure they know what they’re doing!Practicalities
Well as expected there’s a bit of fiddling around with the strap lengths, position of the padded back and butt straps and how you want your legs to be. So although you can just jump in and get straight to it, you may want to just have a bit of a play around with the swing first time round and explore your options. Thats what I did at least. I found the padded straps very comfortable, they didn’t dig in to my body at all as I thought they might. However I found I would have preferred more back support. I also would have liked something supporting my head/neck. Long term sessions in a swing that has no support in these ares is not ideal, in fact for me it’s just not possible. I’ll be having to limit my time spent in the swing in any given session which I must admit I’m disappointed about. Which is why I’ve recommended those with back or neck problems looks for a sex swing better suited to their needs. I found that putting on my leather collar and leash and attaching it to one of the swings D-rings sort of helped give me some neck support, but it was a quick fix and won’t be a long lasting solution. I even tried putting a blanket across the two support straps in the hope it would offer my lower back some support but that idea was unsuccessful.Play time
Well I won’t go into all the juicy details, however much you might like me to 😉 but I must say I am SO pleased I have a sex swing. Despite the above mentioned, this is clearly a great product and one that I’m still able to use and have plenty of fun with, albeit in small bursts. I loved holding onto the straps when I was in the Dom role and really having a strong grip to pull my sub into me, rather than having to rely solely on thrusting. Or better yet do both, pull them in whilst thrusting to get that extra impact on penetration. I liked the feeling of dominance and power I felt having them strapped in and cuffed up whilst I threw them around in the swing at my will….. On the flip side I loved being sub in the swing too. That feeling of weightlessness coupled with swinging around in any direction with no control was invigorating. Being chained up by the ankles and wrists at the same time, unable to move or get away was sooooo thrilling. I found that the height of the swing had to be changed between types of penetration. Anal needing to be at a different height with the support straps in slightly different positions on the body to get the correct angle. But it is really great in getting that perfect position for hitting the prostate.Final Thoughts
All in all I must say I’m impressed. I was pleasantly surprised when I first opened up the packaging and found the swings quality and durability exceeded my expectations. Despite my disappointment at the lack of support in places, they’ve done a great job with the design. I especially like the versatility of the wrist cuffs, with three different locations of where to attach those bound wrists. Whatever your sexual orientation or sexual preference might be this swing can assist in a multitude of sexual positions. If penetration isn’t your thing then there are still multiple options for oral positions. Either way, the switch and sexual explorer in me loves this swing!
It looks and feels great. The 'Deluxe' in the name lives up to its expectations. I like the design of the swing aesthetically and am impressed with what the swing offers. However, practically I do have a couple of issues. Even though the support straps are wider and more comfortable than I thought, they could have gone further. Even wider straps would offer even more comfort and support, which would enable longer lasting play sessions. Alongside this, no head support was a problem for me and my play partner. There was an element of straining and not being able to fully relax the muscles. I can't spell for vaginal sex but when it comes to anal you want your muscles to be relaxed as possible.
All in all it's easy to use. On first use we realised we had put the wrist and ankle cuffs on inside out, meaning the padding was facing out, not in against the skin. Once we figured out our error and switched it you could really feel the comfort that you're supposed to with this product. Alongside this it may take a bit of exploration to find the position of the butt and back straps that are comfortable for you, depending on the type of penetration/oral sex you want to engage in and what sex position you desire. There is no adjustability in the straps for the height of the swing off the ground so just adjust via how many of the chain links you have hanging from the karabiner. In my opinion it's not quite as easy to use as sex slings are. Swings are more complicated with having different straps that require experimenting and adjustment. Sex slings on the other hand require less experimenting, you can just climb in, feel supported, and get straight down to what's important. On the other hand, sex swings are more versatile and have multiple functions. So it all depends on what you're wanting.
The DOMINIX Deluxe Fantasy Bondage Swing is fantastic quality, very professional, looks and feels great. Very sturdy, strong durable connecting chain and spring for absorption. Cannot fault the quality of this product!
I would say this is great value for money. Yes, it is one of the more expensive swings offered by Lovehoney, but there's good reason. If you splash out the cash and add this to your collection you won't be disappointed.
The swing performs well and does as advertised and it did indeed exceed my expectations. I do agree that this swing is comfortable, but as previously mentioned they could have certainly gone further in providing comfort across all bases. Performance wise this product won't be easy for most people with disabilities or any physical problems relating to back/spine/neck etc. The weight of the swing alone could be an issue. I'm not saying it wouldn't be possible, but be aware that this product does not appear to be designed with those less physically abled in mind.
The swing packaging itself was just plastic cellophane. The shipping box was reinforced with extra cardboard to ensure durability during transport, and the spring was wrapped in padded foam for protection. It comes with an installation manual. Safety first, don't destroy all the fun by being a DIY 'cowboy' and installing it incorrectly, no-one wants a broken coccyx! Follow the manual accordingly and then have some great sexy swinging action!
All materials are high quality. I would clean this as I would any plastic/nylon based harness, with a damp cloth or wet wipe. Ensure product is dry before putting into storage. Be aware this swing is heavy! Due to the size and weight you should take time to consider storage options before you purchase. Fortunately my wardrobe has a strong enough clothing rail, and width wise it just fits in there. Alternatively you could leave it hanging in location if you don't mind guests seeing it. However, even just the lone screw fitting in your ceiling is likely to prompt curious friends asking questions. I have a chair hammock I hang from mine so no-one gets suspicious ;)
