Unboxing

The Bahamian Thrill arrives in a plain cardboard box. There was some additional duties and handling charges, around $40 CAD, which is reasonable given the size of the package and consistent with any packages I've imported from Europe. While it is always a good idea to be cautious cutting through tape on shipping boxes, Inside, the swing is safely packaged within a second box, so there’s no risk of damaging the product itself. Once the cardboard box is open, you are greeted with the actual Lonesome Dragon branded box. for a family owned business, I was surprised with how professionally put together their packaging is. 

The box has two tabs that lock the lid in place, and with care, you could likely use it for continued long term storage if you needed to. Inside, there is the swing itself, storage bag, trapeze bar, instructions for set up and use, a visual guide on how to use the swing, and a thank you note. The storage bag can easily hold the swing and all it's accessories and takes up less space than the box. It fits easily in our Ikea dresser drawer, laying quite flat.

We also ordered the ceiling mount kit which was located inside the main box. While not specifically stated in the product listing, we also received an adorable Lonesome Dragon keychain. Thank you Lonesome Dragon!

Materials, Durability, and Safety

Stitching and Fabric Strength

The Bahamian Thrill is stress-tested to 150 kg (330 lbs), a suitable range for most couples. Load-bearing seams use triple stitching, which distributes tension across multiple lines. This is a meaningful distinction from many budget models that rely on single or double stitching, both of which are more vulnerable to long-term wear.

Hardware Quality

The product comes with a stainless steel carabiners and trapeze bar. Both components are substantial in weight and finish and are a significant step above novelty swings. Adjustment straps for the footholds are reinforced and easy to manipulate. Over repeated use, they maintained tension without slipping, tearing, or stretching.

Maintenance and Care

Per the included care instructions, parachute silk is machine washable at 30°C once hardware is removed. After air drying, the material is touted as regaining its original smooth texture without stickiness or residue. The quick-drying nature of the fabric supports hygiene and convenience, particularly important for a product that functions in both intimacy and fitness contexts. I haven't needed to run it through a full wash yet, but spot cleaning and rinsing have had no issues or effect on the materials.

Warranty Support

Lonesome Dragon backs the Bahamian Thrill with a 5 year warranty. In an industry where many products come with limited or no warranty coverage, this provides an additional measure of long-term security. They are also willing to work with customers on repair or replacement of damaged parts per their FAQ.

Who is this for and What is it like to use?

Couples looking for ways to expand their intimate experiences often turn to tools that combine support, novelty, and comfort. The Lonesome Dragon Bahamian Thrill is marketed as both a sex swing and an aerial yoga trapeze. Unlike entry-level swings that hang over a doorway or large pieces of intimacy furniture, this is designed to provide a balance of stability, discretion, and versatility.

In our testing, several specific types of people came to mind for who would see the best results using this swing. Right away, couples who have recently had a child and are trying to get back in the swing of things. As a toddler parent, I find that we are often tired at the end of the day, don't want to hit the gym, maybe struggling with body confidence changes, and sex is usually pushed to the backburner. We found that using the swing let us relax and focus on each other far more than when in a bed. It helped us reduce the amount of exertion and let my partner relax her pelvic floor a lot more (huge for post-partum recovering partners). In testing, sessions tended to last 5–10 minutes longer than average vs. in bed likely due to reduced fatigue and greater comfort. My partner has also used the swing to just relax and read a book after we put the tiny one to bed. After laying in it for the first time, my partner said "I could sleep here". 

My partner and I also have over a foot of height difference and found that suspension resolves alignment issues that can limit positioning. Not having to worry about limitations and having the quick and easy adjustability for the swing height again, let us focus more on being present in the moment instead of focusing on distractions or semantics. Lonesome Dragon does offer a pulley system  to safely adjust the height of their swings to whatever height worked best. This is a huge benefit for couples who have large height differences or very high ceilings.

The Bahamian Thrill is designed for those who want to combine acrobatics with intimacy. My partner has started incorporating Ariel Yoga as part of her weekly wellness routine. This is great on it's own, but also inspires ideas for later in the evening.

People with limited space. Unlike bulky furniture that can't be easily hidden when guests arrive, the swing installs with one ceiling point and stores discreetly, making it practical for apartments or multipurpose rooms. Ours is mounted in a fitness area of our basement, and it fits perfectly for our purposes.

A quick note: After consulting with the owners for recommendations, for those with physical limitations or joint challenges, Lonesome Dragon offers their Private Euphoria. It offers a flat, supportive surface for complete relaxation without active muscle use, redistributing body weight to reduce strain on knees, hips, and the lower back.

Comparisons and Context

Vs. Budget Swings

Most low-cost swings ($50–$100) rely on over-the-door mounts or thin straps. These tend to limit motion and create concentrated pressure on the body. In North America, most of us have hollow core doors, and might be at risk for damage with these type of swings. Some designs have a risk failure if a door opens unexpectedly. Compared to these models, the Bahamian Thrill offers significant upgrades in comfort, safety, and versatility. I will consider reviewing other swings in the future for a fair comparison, but those door mounted ones will likely be off the table.

Vs. Intimacy Furniture

Furniture such as benches and chairs can provide ergonomic support but come with drawbacks: higher cost, lack of portability, and the need for permanent space. The Bahamian Thrill, by contrast, is compact, removable, and discreetly stored in its original box. It achieves many of the same support benefits without the spatial commitment. We do have a multi-use leather bench with built in storage. We love it, it fits our aesthetic, but it's also 48"x18"x18" and takes up significant space compared to a swing.

Dual-Purpose Use

Unlike most dedicated intimacy equipment, the Bahamian Thrill doubles as a yoga swing. For users who already practice aerial fitness or want a relaxation tool, this dual-purpose functionality increases its long-term value. We've already found ourselves using it for relaxing and reading in our down time.

Limitations and Areas for Improvement

Learning Curve

While installation is straightforward, using the swing effectively requires practice. Entry, exit, and position transitions can be awkward at first. This is a common trait of all aerial-based products though, so be kind to yourself while you figure it out. We tried it fully clothed first to make sure we could get in and out safely. Because of our height difference, the swing sits high enough that my partner needed a step stool to safely get in the first few times. Whatever you need to do, make sure it works for you, and is safe!

Like yoga or rock climbing, using a swing like this is a skill that is built over time vs simply reading a guide or manual.  Classes, books, and online tutorials are the best way to explore positions safely and effectively.

If you are unable to install a ceiling mount, Lonesome Dragon also offers an A-Frame swing stand that holds up to 440 lbs with two anchor points. At just under 91 inches tall, it’s designed to fit comfortably under standard 8–9 ft (96-108 inches) Canadian ceilings, where many other aerial yoga frames start at 9 ft or higher. This makes it a more practical option for apartments, rentals, or home setups where ceiling installation isn’t possible.

Recap and Long-Term Value and Recommendation

The Lonesome Dragon Bahamian Thrill occupies a distinct position in the intimacy equipment market. By merging the structure of an aerial yoga trapeze with the intent of a sex swing, it fills multiple needs in one go and adds versatility especially when compared to a door mounted swing.

Its single-anchor design makes installation simpler and less conspicuous. The use of parachute silk with triple stitching and professional-grade hardware provides durability and safety. The ability to rotate freely enhances versatility, while the supportive sling body improves accessibility for a wide range of users.

The main drawback is the learning curve, which could be addressed with better instructional support. However, once mastered, the Bahamian Thrill becomes a reliable, comfortable, and multifunctional tool.

For couples looking for equipment that supports both intimacy and wellness, and for those who want an option that can be stored discreetly when not in use, the Bahamian Thrill is a strong candidate.

This has been a new adventure in mine and my partners sex lives, and we have been grateful for the experience to review the Bahamian Thrill.

My partner has enjoyed this review more than our other couple toy reviews. She's already asked that we start saving for their Private Euphoria swing for Christmas or Valentines Day next year, so we may be able to bring you yet another swing review in the New Year!
