Here is what
Sex in Review had to say about the bungee swing:
The makers of the Bungee Sexperience®
Sex Swing
saw our
positive review of the Love Swing and asked us to take
the Bungee challenge. We did, and the Bungee
Sexperience®
was the clear cut winner. Don?t get us wrong, we like
the Love Swing. It is economically priced and is about
the best value for a swing we have seen.
The
Bungee Sexperience swing, while costing about twice
as much, is also different enough to merit the
additional cost. A traditional sex swing, like the Love
Swing, supports you in the air and is exactly that, a
swing. It is suspended from a spring, which does give
you some bounce, but it is a shorter sharper bounce. The
Bungee Sexperience, though, is based on the same
sort of technology used in Bungee jumping. It gives you
a very gentle, longer bounce that is superior to
anything else we have tried. You get much more of the
feeling of floating than of just being suspended. It is
hard to describe the difference, but in side by side
comparison, we definitely preferred the feel of the
Bungee Sexperience.
Another
difference is in the way it holds you. This is based on
mountain climbing gear, so you are held much more
securely than in other swings. When we tested this with
a bunch of people, they pretty much all needed
instruction in how to get into it, unlike with the Love
Swing, which is a little more intuitive. All you do is
sit in it and lean back into the strap. With this, you
need to put the chest harness on the right way and there
is sort of a process to get in. Once you know how, it is
very easy and not at all complicated. When you are in
it, you feel very secure and do not have to worry about
holding on to anything or worry about falling out of it.
The padded chest harness supports your back and
shoulders while leaving your front accessible, and it is
very comfortable. The part of the Bungee Sexperience
that you sit on is also wider and a little more
comfortable than the Love Swing. The adjustments for the
straps that support your legs are also easier to adjust
when you are in the swing. There is a seperate head
support, which I found comfortable but it does block
access to the neck, so using it is optional.
There are
lots of positions you can get into. You can be spread
eagled flat on your back with your feet in the leg
supports, you can have the leg supports under your
thighs with your feet hanging down, you be face down and
put the leg supports under your knees and do a mid-air
doggy style. You can also do something that is not
really possible in any other swing: hang completely
upside down. Since the harness supports your shoulders,
all you have to do is pull your legs up, wrap them
around the cord, and lean back. It?s quite easy.
There are
two versions, which can make it a little tricky if both
you and your partner are divergent in weight. One
version works best for 80 to 160 pounds. The other is
designed for the 160 to 240 pound range. We tried the
first version, and it still worked fine on my 180
pounds. You can also buy an additional bungee cord of a
different weight rating for around $50 so that you can
have both, but this would only be needed if you had very
large differences between the weights you wanted it to
support.
As with any
swing, it must be installed very securely. They
recommend having the connection point at least 8 feet
from the ground. The standard way to install it is with
a heavy-duty eyebolt (not included), which you screw
directly into the ceiling into the center of a weight
bearing beam. I had to crawl around in the attic to
scope this out and find the best place to mount it. It
is not something you should do yourself if you have no
idea what you are doing. For safety reasons, you want to
make sure the eyebolt is installed solidly enough so
that there is no way it can come loose. The easiest
solution is using a swing stand like the SwingTree.
There is
also a Bungee bondage accessory kit that includes two
Bungee straps and two padded nylon wrist restraints.
You will
have a lot of fun with either the Bungee Sexperience
or the Love Swing. If your budget is tight, the Love
Swing is a wonderful choice. If you can afford a little
extra, then we would recommend the award winning
Bungee Sexperience, which we consider the Porsche of
sex swings.
