On my quest to branch out into different types of dating apps, I came across FabSwingers. Despite looking like it was from the dark ages, I loved the 'fun, free and fabulous' description , especially the free part!! It has forums, clubs and livestreams so there's def more than meets the eye.
What is FabSwingers and who is it for?
FabSwingers has been around since 2006 and is an online swingers dating site aimed at meeting physically IRL. Most members are 25-50 years old, primarily in the UK with a good number of US members in big cities. Available in Australia, Canada, Ireland, New Zealand, UK, and USA.
Best for: Couples looking for fun with other couples, adventurous singles wanting to be the third/fourth, threesomes and casual hookups, those OK with verification.
Not for: Monogamous couples, those seeking long-term serious relationships, swingers not open to IRL connections.
How does FabSwingers work?
Quick signup via the homepage form. Browse members, customize search preferences, use chat rooms and forums. Send winks, messages, add to hotlist, or invite as friend. Most features work with a free account! There's also member-to-member verification , others vouch for your authenticity.

Yes! The thorough photo verification process (hold a sign with "FabSwingers.com" and your username) helps cut down on fakes. Members also validate each other, and the site has been around since 2006.
Is there a FabSwingers mobile app?
Unfortunately no. You'll have to use the mobile version of the site, which looks pretty outdated and clunky.
