CalExotics Scandal - Over-the-door swing, arms and thighs
Only 2 left in stock
Careful not to confuse this one: it carries body weight. It is not a restraint system but a swing, fitted over a standard or oversized door, suspending the person by arm and thigh straps. The CalExotics Scandal Over-the-Door Swing states 38 centimetres of cuff length and 76.25 centimetres of leg circumference, in double-padded red and black polyester.
Why choose this model?
- It suspends: the only one on the shelf to carry body weight, which separates it entirely from the door cross.
- Standard or oversized doors: the fixing suits both, with no drilling and no permanent anchor.
- 76.25 cm leg circumference: the measurement is published, so fit can be checked before buying.
- Double padding: the thickness spreads the load at arms and thighs, where all the weight concentrates.
- Safety hooks: release needs no tools, and remains the only quick way out.
How to use it
- Check the door first: it must be solid with sound hinges. A hollow door will not hold suspended weight.
- Lock the door from the far side or block it: a door opened during suspension releases everything at once.
- Hang a dead weight first, for several minutes, before loading it with a person.
- Set the straps to spread the weight between arms and thighs, with no single bearing point.
- Stay present throughout and keep the hooks reachable from the suspended position.
The door cross fits the same way but suspends nothing: it immobilises upright, against the door. The restraint collar stays on the ground and offers three levels of restriction. See also starting BDSM safely and choosing an accessory for two.
Care and precautions
Polyester wipes with a damp sponge and dries flat. Check straps, stitching and hooks before every session, without exception: on a suspended accessory, wear is unforgiving. The manufacturer publishes no maximum load: refer to the instructions supplied and never exceed the figure they give. Never suspend anyone without continuous presence, keep something to cut with within reach, and check the colour and temperature of hands and feet regularly.
Frequently asked questions
Is it a swing or a restraint system?
A swing: it suspends the body. The door cross immobilises without carrying any weight.
What load does it take?
No figure is published. The instructions supplied govern and must be read before first assembly.
Which doors suit it?
Standard and oversized doors alike, provided they are solid and the hinges hold.
What are the dimensions?
38 centimetres of cuff length and 76.25 centimetres of leg circumference, according to the manufacturer.
Does it need drilling?
No, the fixing sits over the door with no permanent anchor.
SoPigalle tip: put a key in the lock on the far side and turn it. The real danger with a door swing is not a strap failing, it is someone opening the door without knowing what hangs on the other side.
