The Liberator Whirl XT is a bolster pillow, pure and simple. Albeit a very well made bolster pillow that allows to try all sorts of things that you wouldn't think of with a normal bolster pillow. This pillow can help you achieve positions you've never been able to achieve before, and also help make normal positions more comfortable and/or more exciting.

The Whirl XT is made from the same type of foam that is present within all Liberator products. The foam is very comfortable and yet very sturdy at the same time. No matter how many times we've used it, it has not caved in as some foam pillows do, even once. There is some give, but still is firm and supportive. Like with other Liberator products there is a nylon inner cover on the pillow, with a suede cover with a very strong and sturdy zipper that has not come loose even once during our play. The Whirl stands at 24" tall and we have used it as a pillow at times on our bed in addition to its uses during sex. The best part is other than the Liberator logo on one side, no one would ever know it's a sex pillow. We simply prop it in a corner of our bedroom with the logo label down when not using it. Sometimes we use it as a throw pillow on the bed as well, and no one is the wiser.

Different positions can either be achieved or improved upon using the Whirl XT. I'll list a couple that have been achieved or improved upon for us below.

-Woman on top is made much better by simply placing the Whirl underneath the male's knees. By having this under my knees I am able to thrust while my wife is astride me. She has never been too much of a fan of woman on top or reverse cowgirl before this, but by using the Whirl to assist in thrusting she's a believer now.

-Missionary position is great, but spicing it up is always good. Placing the Whirl right around my ankles when I am entering my wife allows me to thrust and roll in and out of her. Simply holding myself by my arms on the side and there is a whole new technique/thrust that can be appreciated and used in this position.

-Doggy-style/from behind is made infinitely better this way. You have two options when going from behind, either have the Whirl beneath the woman's hips perpendicular to her and you can roll and thrust with a lot of speed and very little strain on the body. You can also have the Whirl underneath woman parallel to her body and this allows to almost lie down and be supported by the pillow, but with her body up enough for easy entry.

There are tons of other positions, really your imagination would be the limit. I'm only putting forth what we've actually tried thus far as examples.

Cleanup is easy, as I said, the Whirl can be a throw pillow or tossed in the corner and no one's the wiser. The cover is also machine washable.

We've owned this for several months before I decided to review it, so my thoughts are similar to the initial review. This is a great bolster pillow and has assisted us greatly in different positions. Doggy-style from behind had always been difficult for us, but now it is a favorite position when we use the Whirl. We have washed the cover several times now and it comes out just like new. The foam is very strong and supports you in just the way you need. If you're considering it, buy it. You'll be glad you did.
