Having been doing this review thing for a while, I decided that it was time for me to test something that was out of my usual comfort zone. There are only so many vibrators that one girl can own. So I took a chance and ordered the Rachel's Pleasure Sling by Rachel's Pleasures. I had heard that slings are good for helping you position yourself to make it easier to relax during sex. Since I have had issues just going with the flow and relaxing, I thought this accessory would be a really nice addition to my toy chest.

When the Pleasure Sling got here, the first thing I noticed was the packaging. It is FAR from subtle. There is a topless girl on the front all strapped up in it in a sexual position. You definitely don't want to be leaving the box out when your expecting a visit from your Mother-In-Law. Despite the fact that the package screams sex, it was really easy to open which is a HUGE bonus in my book. I was a little disappointed to find that it didn't have any directions as to how to use it. I had read reviews on this toy and others like it and they all say how it enhances several different positions, but what am I supposed to do when I don't know what those positions are or how to use the sling with them. I was hoping for a little bit of a guideline, but there was nothing. So I had to venture out on my own.

The sling is pretty basic to put together. There is one strap that goes behind your neck and two padded straps that wrap around your ankles, with a buckle connecting them. The length is also easy to adjust with just a pull on the strap. Personally I found it more enjoyable when the straps were pretty tight in missionary position, drawing my knees up towards my chest. But really I didn't think it added much to the experience. I have tried it a few times but I have yet to find a position that is truly improved by the use of it. I did appreciate the padding on the leg straps but I found that they start to itch after a while.

Overall, I think I just need more practice and some instruction with this sling. I believe that one can have a fun time with it and that it can make sex better, I just don't know how to use it right yet. It is fairly comfortable and would make a great beginners sling. I am hoping to continue using it and learn more. Maybe I just need to find someone to teach me...
