Why Use Ball Gag in Bondage？

Ready to add a spicy sex toy in your BDSM play? Or do you want to kindly and consensually stop your partner from talking? Whichever, this tiny device can help you kick things up a notch. Meet our new sexy toy: BALL GAGS.

What is A Bondage Gag?

A ball gag is a certain type of gag toy. It is a sphere made of either silicone, rubber, or plastic. The ball is connected to two leather straps that wrap around the wearer’s head. It is usually secured in the wearer’s mouth behind the teeth, keeping the wearer’s mouth open yet restraining them from talking. If the gaged-partner tries to make a sound, they will drool.

Additionally, the ball gags can show the power dynamic in a relationship. The gag-wearer is considered the submissive partner, while the ungagged one is the dominant partner.

How to Use A Ball Gag?

While ball gags are easy to use, there are some important safety tips to help you use them successfully:

Establish Clear Expectations

Initiate an open discussion with your partner about your desires and comfort levels. Agree on the sexual activities you both feel comfortable engaging in while using the ball gag.

Set a maximum time limit for using the gag, starting with ten to fifteen minutes. Have the wearer try the ball gag to determine the comfortable tightness.

Choose a Non-Verbal Safe Signal

In BDSM scenes, a safe word is common, but with a ball gag limiting speech, opt for a non-verbal signal. This signal could be a hand gesture, a tap on the back, or an audible cue like squeezing a squeaky toy.

If the wearer is unable to use their hands, a vigorous head shake accompanied by grunting can serve as a safe signal.

Never Leave gag-wearer Alone

If physical restraints are in use, it might be challenging for the wearer to remove the gag on their own. Never leave a partner alone while gagged, ensuring someone is always nearby to assist if needed.

Consider Health Conditions

Avoid using a ball gag if you have a cold, sinus infection, or any condition hindering breathing through the nose. Breathing through the mouth is restricted with most ball gags, making it important to prioritize respiratory comfort.

Expand Your Play

While a ball gag alone can be a great introduction to BDSM play, consider incorporating other toys as you become more comfortable. Explore items like blindfolds, handcuffs, spankers, or nipple clamps to enhance your roleplay.

Maintain Hygiene

Thoroughly wash your ball gag with soap and water after each use to prevent bacteria growth. Periodically disinfect the gag for an extra layer of protection against germs.

6 Types of Mouth Gags

In the realm of BDSM roleplay, a ball gag is just one variant among several mouth gags. Here’s a breakdown of the primary types to help you choose the one that suits your preferences:

Ball Gag

The classic ball gag comprises a rubber or silicone ball attached to an adjustable leather strap around the head. It induces drooling and prevents the wearer from speaking or breathing through their mouth. For beginners, a small, breathable ball gag is recommended to allow ease of breathing while adapting to the sensation.

Bit Gag

Bit gags replace the ball with a horizontal bar between the teeth, offering more breathability. Available in various materials like silicone, wood, and metal. Silicone bit gags are advisable for those new to mouth gags due to their comfort.

Lip Gag

Featuring a plastic mouth expander, lip gags keep the wearer’s mouth open. The design includes a hole in the mouthpiece for breathing and producing audible noises. Ideal for individuals interested in engaging in oral activities while wearing the gag.

O-Ring Gag

Constructed with metal O-rings serving as a mouthpiece, restricting mouth movement. Allows the wearer to breathe and engage in oral activities.

Spider Gag

Consists of a metal O-ring in the wearer’s mouth with four extending metal spires. Makes it challenging for the wearer to manipulate the ring, fostering a submissive experience.

Penis Gag

Leather straps secure a small dildo at the back of the head, simulating an extended fellatio experience. Provides a unique sensation for the wearer while being gagged.

Exploring these mouth gag variations allows individuals to customize their BDSM experiences based on their preferences and comfort levels.

How to Choose A Ball Gag?

Everyone’s encounter with gags is individual, and finding the right fit for your desired experience is crucial. Here are some recommendations based on different preferences:

Mouth Fit:

• Decide whether you want your mouth filled or just held open.
• Filled or Held Open: Ball gags provide a full feeling, but larger sizes can be challenging to keep in for extended periods. Small-sized ball gags offer a sense of fullness without extreme jaw strain.
• Ring Gags: These hold the mouth open while leaving ample space inside.
• Bit Gags: Positioned towards the front of the mouth and on the cheeks, offering a different sensation.

Jaw Comfort (TMJ):

If you have jaw pain, consider a bit gag as it doesn’t stretch the mouth too far. Having something to bite down on can alleviate jaw pressure. Small ball gags are also suitable for those with a very small mouth.

Drool:

Classic ball gags are effective in inducing drool as they fill and immobilize the mouth completely. Ring gags and bit gags can also contribute to a drooly experience.

Mouth Access

If you want your partner to be gagged while maintaining mouth access, choose a ring gag. The open ring allows for hands, tongues, food, drinks, or other agreed-upon activities. Consider the inner diameter of the ring for potential phallus compatibility.

Strap Fit:

Most gags attach from the mouthpiece around the back of the neck, but this can be uncomfortable and may loosen during movement.

Selecting the right mouth gag involves considering factors such as mouth fit, jaw comfort, drool effect, mouth access, and strap style to ensure a personalized and enjoyable experience.
