How does a thigh sling work? A thigh sling is a positioning aid for lying on your back. A cushioned rest sits behind the neck, and a strap runs from each side of it down to a padded loop. The loops go around the thighs, or the feet sit in them like stirrups. The weight of the upper body balances the weight of the legs, so the legs stay raised and apart without anyone holding them. Shortening or lengthening the straps changes the angle.
Saffron Thigh Sling keeps legs up without effort
The Saffron Thigh Sling from Sportsheets supports the legs in a raised position so neither partner has to hold them. It consists of a soft neck pillow connected by straps to two padded leg rests. Slide the leg rests around the thighs, or put your feet in them like stirrups. Your own body weight keeps the legs lifted.
The straps adjust quickly. Pull to bring the legs higher, release to lower them. The maker notes that the support helps people with limited strength or mobility hold positions that allow deeper penetration.
Best for: For couples who like legs-up positions but find them tiring to hold, and for anyone with limited strength or flexibility who wants support. It leaves both partners' hands free. No hooks, doors or furniture are needed.

How to use
Lie on your back on the bed and place the neck pillow behind your neck, with one strap running down each side of the body. Bend your knees toward your chest and slide a padded rest around each thigh, just above the knee. Alternatively, put your feet into the rests. Pull the straps to bring your legs to a comfortable height, then relax and let the sling take the weight. Start with a gentle stretch and shorten the straps only as far as feels easy. Release the straps to lower your legs if your hips or back start to ache.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need to attach it to anything?
No. It works with your own body. The neck pillow sits behind your neck and your body weight balances your legs through the straps.
Can I use it on my feet instead of my thighs?
Yes. The padded rests can go around the thighs or hold the feet like stirrups.
Is it adjustable?
Yes. Pull the straps connected to the neck pillow to raise the legs and release them to lower the legs. The straps adjust for a variety of positions.
How does it differ from the Door Jam Sex Sling?
The Thigh Sling is used lying down and only holds the legs up. The Door Jam Sex Sling hangs from a door and supports a seated partner for standing positions.
What sizes does it fit?
The product listing gives no measurements, weight limit or materials. The straps are adjustable.
