Sex Swing Buying Guide

0:00 Welcome to the buyer's guide for SexSwing.com. SexSwing.com has you completely covered, we have so many swings to choose from, and we're gonna break down each part so we know that you're getting the swing that's the best for you. Now, it comes down to three key components, and that is comfort, installation and safety.

0:20 A special note: when you go to SexSwing.com and you go to any product we have, you just scroll down a little bit, we have all the product specs. So we've gone through each individual product and we've taken measurements, we know what kind of foam they're using, we've done all different things with each one, so you can go here and know what you're getting under the specs. So that's a really important feature, and we are going to kind of highlight some of those specs right now.

0:55 Let's go right to the top. And for that, we have a single point swing, or a single hook swing, and what that means is that the location it mounts in the ceiling is in one location. The benefit to a single hook swing is that you can get a swivel hook and it can spin. A couple swings do come with swivel hooks, most don't. The other option is a dual hook, and it has two springs, no bar over your head, and the advantage to this is that you can have it as wide as you want. This does not spin, though, so that's a little bit different between those. The single hook works with two of our seven mounting options, and the dual hook works with all seven of our mounting options. You can find it right there.

1:51 A huge comfort factor in any sex swing is the width that you have at the top, and for a single hook it is determined by the bar. Now, bars range from 14 inches, like this one, up to about 24 inches, and 14 inches is really narrow. So what happens with a bar is that it limits the distance you have up here, so you're gonna end up with kind of a V shape happening, and that's gonna dig a lot into hips, especially with certain swings. I'm gonna sit in this just so you can see. See, I'm already pinched in here, and the straps are just like that. This is a narrow bar that is sold, just keep that in mind, but for a good example you can see what's happening.

2:42 Let's contrast that with a dual hook. The dual hook, your weight is actually dispersed over two different locations, and you can make the distance as wide as you want. So say we wanted it maybe like 30 inches or so, right? And that, you can see, is not going to pinch up your arms and crowd you up in a dual hook.

3:08 We are going to cover straps. You have a main strap that goes on your butt, and a back strap. There's four different components that make up a strap. First is webbing, you can see all these have webbing. Then the strap length, the strap width, and the strap material, like the foam inside. These four have 2 inch webbing. Now, there are some swings on the market that I do not sell or endorse that have less than 2 inches of webbing. That is not safe, and I would not put that on my site. We only do 2 inch and above. These have 2 inch, this one has 4 inch.

3:49 And the length of your pad is really important. You can see here, I have them all lined up at the bottom, some of them might even be off the screen frame here, but this one is very short, which means when you sit in it, the webbing is going to be pushing into your thighs. Now, the longer straps you get, that's not so much the case. These three down here are very long, the straps are about 28 inches long, and that's not gonna be digging into you.

4:20 The other thing that we need to cover is the width of material that you're sitting on. You can have pretty narrow foam, or in this case neoprene, but padding that you're sitting on, obviously the wider pad that you get is more beneficial. And then the type. This is a neoprene, think of like a wetsuit, it has that feel to it. It's a little bit thicker, it's about a quarter inch, but it's pretty flimsy. This is about as cheap crap as you can get here. This is, I don't even know, it's really, really, really weak foam. And so what's gonna happen with a swing like this is when you sit in it, it's going to curl around this 2 inch webbing, and essentially in this one and in this one, you're just gonna be sitting on two inches of webbing, and that will not be fun for very long.

5:16 Then you can go into some more dense foams. This is the Wild Side and this is a WhipSmart, and these have some really good foam. They're gonna be really comfortable for your hips, they're not gonna pinch you. This one is definitely the most foam out of any swing on the market. These are both wide, they're comfortable, you're good. Then you go over down here, this is a Screamer. This one has 4 inches of foam on 4 inches of webbing, so this is gonna be super comfortable. Think of sitting on the swing sets when you were a kid at the park. They were all about 4 inches, they were solid plastic, for the same idea, where it's a solid piece that you're gonna be sitting on.

6:05 So we are going to move on to the strap system and the stirrups. Now, there are two options with straps: there is removable and non removable straps, or detachable and non detachable straps. This swing that I am in is a non removable strap system, and you can see what that means is everything is sewn together, all as one unit. This makes this swing impossible to wash. And when you're in situations like this, where your butt is hanging off, if you're doing some back play, whatever, this strap is just kind of in the way. Like, you can't remove it, you can't do anything with it, it's just kind of hanging on your back and it's in the way. As well as the stirrups. Like, if I'm down here like this, I don't need the stirrups here banging on my arm, right? But I can't remove it.

6:52 So let's go over and look at one that we can remove. Right here is a swing with removable straps, and everything comes off of this carabiner area right here. You can put things on, you can take them off. It works really good with any of the attachments, like squatting attachments, where you can't use squatting attachments unless you have individual straps. Okay, so this swing, I can't use it here, like when my butt was hanging off that one. If I did that in this swing, not a problem, there's no back strap in the way, nothing like that. This is a really good system, especially if you're gonna get really creative with positions.

7:37 And speaking of being creative with positions, let's talk about stirrups, 'cause this is really key as well. So this is very small. Maybe you can get your calf on it, but that's about it, right? And it doesn't really adjust too far out, it's in an awkward adjusting position because it's all sewn together. With a removable strap, this strap is really big, and that depends on the swing, of course, but this strap is huge. You can put it on your thigh, put it wherever. This strap removes, so what's really fun about this is that you can take this and you can clip it up really high, you can make it short, you can make it really long. So when it's clipped up higher, it's going to rotate the pelvis, and that's gonna give you really great deep penetration, where with this one you're not gonna be able to do that pelvic rotation.

8:32 Also, I get asked a lot about doggy style or other creative positions, and with a swing like this one, the stirrup is just too small. The spec for stirrup sizes is in our descriptions, but it's just too small, you can't put your thigh in it. You can't kind of do this, like, see, I can't even get it over my knee with this stirrup. Because this one is so large, I can lift it over my knee, and I can lean into this, I can really get into it. So way more comfortable and practical, because you can't do that with the other swing.

9:09 So we are going to add some more fun, creativity and comfort with your swing. The first one I wanna go over is the handle set. Now, this is a Screamer Dual Hook up here, and handles do come with this swing, but for the most part handles are not included in swings. So if you want handles, and I find them really useful to pull you up and adjust you, or just grip onto in a moment, handles are a really good accessory.

9:40 The other thing is, every swing that you purchase from SexSwing.com comes with a free headrest. So I clip it in, so you can see, I'm clipping it in, right? Like the handles, you can put this in anywhere, it doesn't have to be right here, this is just where I have a spot. So the headrest is amazing. What it's gonna do is it's gonna take so much strain off of your neck and your abs, and so you can just lay back, let it ride, enjoy the moment. This is included, that's how important I think a headrest is for any swing.

10:15 The last one I'm gonna share is the squatting attachments. Now, these are essentially bungees with O rings on each side, and each set will lift up about 50 pounds of weight, so she's not having to lift all that up. If she is over 150 pounds, get two sets, so you end up with four. Under 150 pounds, one set is adequate. And these just clip up here, and then the stirrup clips in the bottom, and you put the stirrup over your thigh and you can bounce. So this is a super popular add on. All these can be found under the accessories tab.

10:58 Okay, let's talk springs and safety. So this is an extension spring, and it works basically like the name says: it's going to extend, so it'll be like, whoo. It'll take a lot of force to do that, so it's not like, don't put a car on it, right, kind of thing. It's rated to 200 pounds. This is a spring that most sex swings will come with. This is a drawbar spring, and what happens with this spring is that when you put tension on it, this spring, like, center will compress into basically a solid piece of steel. This is rated to 300 pounds. This is really, really safe. This is the exact spring that comes with the Screamer Dual Hook and the Screamer Twist, and this is also the spring that we sell under the accessories tab as an add on. So if this is not the spring you want, this is one that you can upgrade to.

11:52 Some of the manufacturers will say that a swing is rated to 200 pounds, and then they'll say, oh, also 350 pounds without a spring, or something like that. No, no, no. Don't use your swing without a spring.

12:08 And that goes to the second safety point, which is your mounting location. Now, when you're mounting your swing, say in a ceiling with an eye hook, you're actually putting the eye hook in a joist, in wood, right? So your weakest point in your swing is wherever you're gonna mount it. If it's a stand, if it's a spring, if it's a chin up bar or whatever it is, that's where your weakest point is. And when you don't have a spring, all that force of movement and bounce and swing is all being directly forced right on your mounting location. So using a spring is vital, like vital, to making sure that you're safe in your sex swing. So always, always, always, always, I'm stressing, use a spring, and if you want, upgrade to the drawbar spring.

12:58 Also keep in mind, when you have a dual hook swing, what this does is it divides the weight that you put in the swing in half. If you put 200 pounds in it, each spring, each load location in your ceiling or in your mounting location, the load on that point is only 100 pounds. So dual hooks are a really good option for that, and especially with a spring like this.

13:24 Washing and storage. Both of them are very common questions, and important when you have a sex swing, 'cause sometimes things might need to be washed and stored. This is a storage bag for the Screamer Dual Hook. Also, the Screamer Single Hook comes with a storage bag. They are the only two that come with a bag, and I find this super amazing, especially when you're traveling or you need to tuck it away. This is how every other swing is gonna come, there's no storage bag. You can hang it in the back of your closet, which does work. I've had closets full of swings.

14:03 So anyway, washing this one, you're just gonna spot wash it. It's all attached to the bar, nothing comes off, so you know, rag, spot wash, hang to dry. If you have one that has removable straps, that is easier to wash. All you're going to do is take a laundry bag, you can get them at Walmart or the dollar store, whatever, like a garment bag, throw your straps into it, and wash it on cold on a gentle cycle. You can tumble dry on cold, or you can just hang to dry. You don't wanna have too high of a heat, especially with metal or plastic hardware. The metal can melt the webbing, or too much heat can jeopardize the plastic integrity of the swing. So you don't wanna do that, but air dry is fine, a tumble air dry, light, something like that.

14:57 The specs of every swing are listed on the individual swing page. And I'm gonna just throw in my little 2 cents here. I do tend to favor dual hooks, like not having the bar, just relaxing, headrest free with purchase, and just really taking it in. Plus, I like the ability of the straps to be removable. I like that because I really like attachments, and one of them is a squatting attachment, where you can be your own porn star, which I'm a big fan of. That is fantastic for attachments. And I like that the handles can be moved, I like the fact that the stirrups can be put really high for rotating the pelvis, for deep penetration. And so, yeah, I'm just a big fan of this style. But hopefully we gave you a lot of options to choose from, to find the best style for you and your needs.
