How We Picked The Products
To make tracking down the absolute best door sex swings money can buy easier for our readers, we found ten of the most popular products (according to online reviews) and had our diverse team of sex educators personally test each one of them.
After a rigorous testing period (it’s hard work, but someone’s gotta do it!), each of our reviewers gave the swings a rating out of 100, based on the following well-defined quantitative metrics outlined by the following criteria. Their ratings helped us decide which products deserved a spot in this review and the title of overall test winner.
- Quality. Being dropped by a sex swing is an undeniably traumatizing experience. Therefore, any products with loose stitching, thin straps, or frayed edges were immediately removed from the running.
- Design. There are only two designs that stack us as being both comfortable and functional. But beyond that, we looked for easy-to-use buckles, comfortable materials, and adequate padding.
- Safety. The safety rating was the most important factor in determining our top choices. Features like strong barbells, handles for extra grip, and generous weight limits all help to make door sex swings feel more stable.
- Material. Nylon with foam padding is the most common material type for this type. However, our luxury product is made from polyester and PP for additional comfort and strength.
- Price Rating. Luckily, because of their relative simplicity, door sex swings are already on the less expensive side. But none-the-less, we were on the lookout for products that delivered the most value for the least money.
- Aesthetic. Let’s face it, beautiful is always better. And though this might not be the most aesthetically pleasing style, we kept an eye out for designs that offered a little more pizzazz than the standard black strappy design.
During testing, we rated each of the toys based on the criteria listed above, starting from 0% (Worst) to 100% (Best). Each score was calculated using different weighted metrics depending on what we deemed most important. Half the total rating comes from Quality (25%) and Design (25%). After that comes Safety (20%), Material (10%), Price Rating (10%), and Aesthetic (10%).

1. Fetish Fantasy Deluxe: Our Overall Test Winner!
Why we love Fetish Fantasy Deluxe Door Swing:
If you’re looking for a straightforward, inexpensive, and well-built, this simple design is going to check all your boxes. Though it’s not equipped with any bells and whistles, it covers all the bases, providing as much comfort and support as you can expect from this style of sex swing. Folks who are worried about discretion will likely be happy to hear that sexswing.com, our favorite retailer of the Fetish Fantasy Deluxe, ships in non-descript brown boxes. Great news considering the original packaging, which features a woman in lingerie mounted in a sex swing, doesn’t leave much to the imagination.
Inside, it comes already assembled (as I demonstrate in the image above), making setup super easy. The only thing left to adjust is the length of the leg straps, but it’s best to wait until after you’ve had a chance to sit in it to see what requires some adjustment The box also includes 5-step directions on how to get started and a “love mask,” just a fancy way of saying eye mask. After checking the straps to make sure everything is well-secured, I looped it over my bedroom door (highlighted in the image below), which has a rounded door handle that locks—two important features for the door you’re considering using since they protect you from accidentally opening your door and tumbling to the ground.
The simplicity of this Fetish Fantasy product is such that you can loop it over basically any door that closes. And since it packs up to be quite small and lightweight, popping it in your suitcase to surprise your partner on vacation is a fun option for potential uses. Comfort-wise, the Fetish Fantasy is far less relaxing than sex swings or slings, which are designed to cocoon you, thus alleviating all the pressure from your bones and joints. But that’s to be expected with this model since it’s more so designed for an easy setup and to be used in spaces with limited room than to be comfortable for hours of play.
The middle strap’s foam core helps cushion the body, which was well-appreciated by me since it’s the strap responsible for taking the majority of your weight. However, I still found that situating a pillow between my back/shoulders and the door made a big difference since it alleviated the discomfort of pressure between my body and the door. Though not the most sexy, this technique did work and I didn’t find it getting in the way at all. The Fetish Fantasy Deluxe was also reported as being the most comfortable of all the products tested by our plus-sized panel members. Since sex, especially standing, can put undue pressure on the bones and joints, causing it to be more tiring and even painful, I was happy to hear that this swing helped bring longer, steamy sessions within reach.
I will add that even after repeated uses, there were no signs of wear or tear, and one of our testers has been using the Fetish Fantasy for several years and still says it’s as good as new! This made all the difference in our decision to dub it as the best over-the-door sex swing.
Minor issues we found during testing:
Door sex swings, unfortunately, don’t give you the same level of freedom as other sex swings, which you can maneuver more easily and freely since you’re not forced to work around a door.
Therefore, this isn’t an issue with the Fetish Fantasy Deluxe as much as it is with this style of swing in general. But if you’re looking for a weightless feel and the option to take advantage of all the unique positions they have to offer, you may want to consider shopping for hooked sex swings instead.
Why Fetish Fantasy Deluxe is the best door sex swing:
- Quality: The experience of having an over-door sex swing break under their weight is not-so-uncommon among our plus-sized community. I’m happy to report that even our heavier testers had no problems with the Fetish Fantasy stretching or tearing during use thanks to the high-quality nylon build and sturdy stitching.
- Price Rating: Coming in at the very budget-friendly price of $67, the Fetish Fantasy is an absolute steal of a deal and comes with a “love mask” to boot! Though comparable in design to other products on the market, the price was, ultimately, what helped it seal the #1 spot and an average 93% rating from our sex experts.
If you want to see what the Fetish Fantasy Deluxe looks like and how to use it, please watch our unboxing and demonstration video below:
Features:
- Material: Nylon and foam
- Hooks: None
- Weight Capacity: 300 lbs
Pros:
- Comes with a free eye mask
- The foam-core seat is more comfortable than nylon straps
- Easy to adjust
- Very budget-friendly considering its quality
- Lightweight and packs up small
- Extra sturdy for plus-sized users
Cons:
- Not as comfortable as hook sex swings
2. Sportsheets Door Jam Kit: Our Runner-Up!
Why we love Sportsheets Sex Swing Door Jam Kit:
As far as door sex swings go, the Fetish Fantasy Deluxe model and this Sportsheets Door Jam Kit are highly comparable. But I thought I would include it, as it’s sold through my (and many others) favorite sex toy retailer, Lovehoney. Sometimes it’s best to stick with what you know! Made with the same metal rods equipped with acrylic covers to prevent unwanted wear and tear on your door frame, setting up the Sportsheets Door Jam Kit is as simple as looping it over a lockable door and adjusting the straps to your ideal height.
Just like the Fetish Fantasy Deluxe above, the door Jam sex swing is made from high-quality nylon. But, unlike the former, the Sportsheets set has a neoprene cover over the middle strap, which I did find to be slightly more comfy, though the difference is pretty negligible. In terms of use, it’s more or less the same, and I still recommend tossing in a pillow where your body meets the door to provide some extra cushion—especially during rough play. And since this model is fully adjustable, allowing you to perfectly position yourself at the height of your partner’s cock, I can almost guarantee things will get a little wild.
Despite having near-exact designs, which include two supporting rods, a seat, and holders for your arms and legs, the Sportsheets Door Jam kit is around $15 more expensive than the Fetish Fantasy pick. Although this isn’t a huge amount, considering this is a relatively budget-friendly accessory, to begin with, the extra savings can make a difference and were the deciding factor in this product taking the #2 spot instead of the title of overall test winner.
Minor issues we found during testing:
Aside from being less comfortable than regular hooked sex swings, both because of the size of the middle strap and the tension of the side straps putting pressure against the hips, neither I nor my team had any real issues with the Sportsheets Door Jam Kit.
The Door Jam Kit is incredibly well-built and the designers did an excellent job coming up with a product that more than delivers despite having to work around some obvious limitations.
Why Sportsheets Door Jam Kit is the runner-up:
- Design: Since our top two picks in this review had the same design, it’s safe to say that our design choice was spot on! But small details like acrylic covers on the metal rods to protect your door frame, hand grips for lessening the pressure on the main strap, and foot stirrups for better maneuverability didn’t go unnoticed during testing and helped it earn an overall rating of 91%.
- Quality: With a maximum weight capacity of 325 lbs and thick nylon straps, even our larger testers, who wear a size 10-12 found the Sportsheets Door Jam Kit easy to use and had no issues with tearing during use.
Features:
- Material: Nylon and neoprene
- Hooks: None
- Weight Capacity: 325 lbs
Pros:
- Highest weight capacity
- Made from high-quality and durable nylon
- Sold through Lovehoney
- Easy to set up
- Can easily hold plus-sized users
Cons:
- Not the most comfortable sex swing option
- $15 more expensive than the previous pick
3. Bondage Boutique Soft Over-The-Door: Our Budget Pick!
Why we love Bondage Boutique Soft Over-The-Door Sex Swing:
Whether you’ve already tested out one of the previous options and are looking for a new thrill or are simply working with a limited budget, this pick from Bondage Boutique packs a mean punch despite its uncomplicated design. After looping the acrylic barbells over the door of your choice (hopefully something sturdy), you’re fully set up and ready to rumble! Unlike the previous two designs, I didn’t struggle at all with the straps rubbing against my butt or hips since any pressure from your body weight is drawn into the leg straps instead of pulled down toward the center of the swing.
If you’re confused about how exactly to get into this one, don’t worry. It’s easier than it seems! Simply put one of your legs through the harness before sliding it all the way up to your groin. Then using your hands to hoist you up, your partner can slide both the leg straps into position. That being said, having some upper body strength to pull yourself up will be important. But you can also place a stool underneath you and lift yourself into position by standing on it if all else fails.
I was worried that, with only my thighs to support me, using the Bondage Boutique swing wouldn’t be very comfortable. But the cushioned fabric of the leg straps alleviated any discomfort that could be caused by having the majority of your weight supported by just your thighs. I imagine that using a small blanket or pillow would also be a nice addition to longer sessions, though personally, I was fine without it. The feature I most appreciated about this model (aside from it being very budget-friendly) is how well it works for kink play. The hand loops are basically begging to be adorned with a pair of handcuffs, and since you can’t escape the swing without assistance, the feeling of helplessness you feel while fully suspended is pretty intoxicating.
Your partner is more or less free to move you where they please, position you perfectly to meet their cock or toy of choice, and can keep you suspended until you’re thoroughly exhausted. With this in mind, expect any sessions involving this swing to be long ones!
Minor issues we found during testing:
Although the leg straps are made to provide the perfect amount of cushion and protect your skin from possible nylon friction burns, the handles are undeniably rough. That means if you spend too much time holding onto them or struggle to hoist yourself up immediately, you may feel it afterward.
Otherwise, the only drawback is that, because of its leg-looped design, you can only use it for one position—though even that’s enough to keep you more than busy.
Why Bondage Boutique Soft Over-The-Door is our budget pick:
- Price Rating: Obviously, the door frame sex swing we chose as our budget pick will have to offer the most bang for your buck! And despite being only $43.99 (low enough that you won’t blink an eye at only using it once should you decide it’s not for you), the Bondage Boutique is made from high-quality nylon and is built to offer infallible fun.
- Design: Heading into this review, I wasn’t sure how comfortable this swing was to be due to its design. But I was very pleasantly surprised by, not only how comfortable the Bondage Boutique is, but also how much fun I had using it! It deserves every point of its 91% rating.
Features:
- Material: Nylon and cushioned fabric
- Hooks: None
- Weight Capacity: 308 lbs
Pros:
- Budget-friendly price
- The design was surprisingly comfortable
- High weight capacity
- Leg loops are nicely cushioned
- Easy to set up
Cons:
- No padding for the hands
- One-position pony
Other Good Alternatives
This Shots Door Swing is a good option for plus-size people thanks to its extra-cushioned thigh pads and whopping 661-pound weight limit. Just like our previous picks, set up is as simple as looping it over the door, and since there is nothing holding the two halves of this swing, you’re welcome to place them as far apart as needed to comfortably accommodate any body size. Another feature that plus-sized users will appreciate is the additional padding on the hand grips, which allows you to comfortably grip and squeeze them while hoisting yourself up—no chafing necessary! Despite being only $38.99, Peep Show Toys also decided to throw in a blindfold, perfect for any folks interested in exploring BDSM play.
CalExotics Scandal Over The Door might be more expensive than our previous two options, but after unboxing it, it’s easy to see why! Made from polyester instead of the usual nylon with foam inlay, the loops for your hands and thighs are noticeably thicker and more comfortable. Not to mention, on the side that faces outward, the straps are adorned with an ornate pattern that is a nice reprieve from the conventional black nylon of most door sex swings. Undeniably, this is our most luxurious and premium pick. If you have a few dollars extra to spare ($12 to be exact) or are ready for an upgrade, it doesn’t get better than this product from CalExotics.
What Is A Door Sex Swing?
A door sex swing is a fun accessory that suspends a swinging partner off the ground via a strap under their butt, and, depending on the design, arm and leg straps for added support. Simple in design, this style is designed for quick installation in a door frame and doesn’t require a cumbersome stand or ceiling hook.
For kinksters that love the quick install feature and the added versatility for sex positions of door sex swings, but aren’t a fan of being suspended, you can always opt for a close alternative which is sex pillows. Here are the best sex pillows on the market in case you’re interested.
But Why Should I Buy One?
For most people, the selling feature of a sex door swing is the fact that, unlike its counterparts, they don’t require a ceiling mount or sex stand—which can be as wide as 7 feet across. This means that they can be stored more easily in between uses, set up even in relatively small apartments, and won’t require you to explain to your in-laws why you have a hook dangling from your ceiling.
But if you’re comfortable displaying your collection out in the open, getting a piece of sex-related furniture would be the ideal choice. If that sparked your interest, you can consider some of the best sex chairs we ranked and tested in this roundup.
Otherwise, sex swings can be handy for accessing new sexual positions that you can’t access laying down or standing, and have the added benefit of thoroughly supporting the body, thus alleviating pressure off the bones and joints.
How To Use A Door Sex Swing?
Improper use of your new sex toy swing can result in broken door frames, dangerous falls, and even injury. For that reason, it’s important to take swing setup seriously. Don’t worry though, we tell you everything you need to know below.
- Start by giving the straps on your swing a good clean. While straps made from leather and those that don’t detach from their metal hardware should only be wiped down, most models are made from nylon or polyester, which can be tossed directly into the wash.
- While your straps dry, crack open the instruction manual that (hopefully) came with your swing. In it, you’ll find information that’s essential to safe usage, such as a detailed setup guide, weight limits, and other disclosures.
- Once you have a solid understanding of how your swing works, give all the detachable ends a once-over to ensure they’re well pieced together before setting it up in a fitting doorway.
- Using a doorway that doesn’t get much action or waiting for an empty house before testing your swing is a good idea since you don’t want anyone opening the door while you’re hoisted in the air.
- Once you’re in the clear, give it a solo test run, starting with set up, which includes only throwing the metal handles over the door before closing and locking it (yes, it really is that easy).
- You can then practice getting in and out gracefully, find a comfortable position in the swing itself, and adjust the leg straps as needed. If you’re worried, try placing thick pillows and blankets underneath to cushion your fall.
Still not sure you’re ready to crack into the world of sex swings? You can check out our full guide for more information on how to get the most out of your new toy.
How To Clean A Door Sex Swing?
Every few uses or an especially messy session, it’s important to give your door-mounted sex swing a thorough clean. Luckily, door sex swings are one of the easiest types to clean, and we will go through a simple step-by-step below.
- Machine-wash your sex swing in cold water to prevent shrinkage, and with either laundry detergent or antibacterial soap.
- Once clean, you can tumble-dry it on low heat until it’s just about fully dry before hang-drying it, or hanging it up straight out of the wash.
- After allowing it to dry completely, store it in a box or bag—somewhere where it won’t collect dust or lint.
Each sex toy and adult accessory has unique washing instructions, which can greatly extend the life of your product when followed correctly. Our full guide will tell you everything you need to know.
