Choosing a Sex Swing for Couples with Disabilities

For interabled or disabled couples, finding new intimate positions and options during sexual encounters can be a challenge. Incorporating sex swings or other sex accessibility and mobility aids can help. However, not all swings for couples with disabilities are created equal, and which is best for you and your partner can vary depending on your abilities, goals, and lifestyles.

Types of Swings for Disabled & Interabled Couples

With so many types, models, and constructions of swings available, it can be difficult to decide which make is best for you and your partner as you explore new intimate positions. While making your decision, keep these considerations in mind:

• Budget. It can be tempting to choose the lowest price point, but it’s better to make an investment in a quality device. Cheaper options may break sooner, be uncomfortable, or cause injury to you or your partner.
• Storage Space. Certain configurations of swings for disabled couples are permanent installations, others are heavy, and some may be difficult to relocate.
• What Works for You? Always choose the best option for you, your partner, and your shared physical mobility. Make sure your selected model can hold your weight and function within your physical parameters.

Wheelchair Hoists for Intimate Positions

While most wheelchair hoists are designed for purposes outside of disabled intimacy, some models can be a useful tool in your sexual arsenal. Incorporating a swing for couples with disabilities or in an interabled relationship can be a straightforward way of exploring your intimate options.

Pros of Wheelchair Hoists for Intimacy	Cons of Wheelchair Hoists for Intimacy
You may already own one, saving on cost Sturdy constructions Proven safe for wheelchair users Multiple swing options available	Can be expensive to purchase new Not explicitly built for disabled intimacy May have weight limits May have movement restrictions

Ceiling Mount Swings

Ceiling-mounted swings for disabled and interabled couples are a sturdy option for those with space restrictions. Always follow all manufacturer instructions and guidelines when installing a ceiling-mounted swing for intimate positions. Failure to do so can cause damage to your home or result in serious injury to you or your partner.

Swings with Adjustable Straps for Disabled Intimacy

Most swings are available with or without adjustable straps. When you or your partner have mobility limitations, adjustable straps can open a whole new world of experimentation and options for intimate moments. When shopping for swings with adjustable straps, evaluate each to make sure they are safe, cleanable, and within your budget.

Pros of Swings with Adjustable Straps	Cons of Swings with Adjustable Straps
