What does a positioning sling do? A positioning sling holds the legs up and back so the wearer does not have to. Straps run from the shoulders or neck to the ankles or thighs, and the wearer's own body weight keeps everything in place. That takes the strain off the hips, thighs and core, so a position that normally tires the legs in a minute can be held comfortably for much longer. The Pivot adds a wide pillow behind the head and neck and extra straps under the thighs.
Pivot Positioning Partner: legs up, no strain
The Pivot Positioning Partner is Sportsheets' new take on its Sex Sling designs. In place of a narrow neck pad it uses a large, flat pillow that cradles the head and neck. Padded shoulder straps connect by adjustable tethers to soft ankle cuffs, so the legs can be held loosely or drawn in tight. Added thigh straps support the legs, which keeps them from tiring.
Durable hardware holds each setting and releases easily, so the position can be changed in the middle of a scene without starting over. That matters, because what feels right at the start of a scene often needs loosening or tightening later.
Best for: For couples who like legs-raised positions but find them tiring to hold. It suits people with limited flexibility or stamina, anyone who wants a light restraint element, and those who found neck-strap slings uncomfortable. It packs away between uses.

How to use
Lay the pillow on the bed and lie back so it sits under your head and neck. Bring the padded straps over the shoulders. Fasten a soft cuff around each ankle and place the thigh straps under the legs. Start with the tethers long, then shorten them a little at a time until the legs are held where you want them. Test the release on the hardware before play so both of you can open it fast. Loosen the tethers if anything pulls on the neck or lower back.
Care
- Spot clean the pillow, straps and cuffs with a damp cloth and mild soap.
- Let everything air dry fully before packing it away.
- Do not machine wash or tumble dry it unless the label says you can.
- Check the hardware, stitching and tethers before each use.
- Store it loosely folded in a dry place.

Frequently asked questions
How is the Pivot different from a standard sex sling?
The maker describes it as a new approach to its Sex Sling designs. The main changes are the large flat pillow for the head and neck, padded shoulder straps and added thigh straps that support the legs.
Can it be used as a restraint?
To a degree. The adjustable tethers between the ankle cuffs and shoulder straps can be left long for freedom or shortened for a tighter, more restrained hold. The hardware has an easy release.
Does it need to be attached to a bed or door?
No attachment point is mentioned in the facts available. The pillow sits behind the head and neck, and the straps connect the shoulders to the ankles and thighs, so the body holds it in place.
What sizes does it fit?
The tethers are adjustable, but the facts available give no strap lengths, cuff sizes or weight limit. If you need exact measurements, check the packaging before use. The adjustable tethers give some range.
