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.

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.
