How Big Should My Ball Gag Be?

When it comes to finding the perfect size a ball gag, there’s a simple rule of thumb to follow:

If you’re a beginner, you start out as small as possible and gradually work your way up in size as you get more and more comfortable with the sensation.

Keep in mind that a little goes a long way when it comes to ball gag. The difference between a beginner-friendly size and an advanced level size isn’t that big!

  • For complete beginners, I would recommend a ball that’s between 1.3-1.5 inches in diameter.
  • For intermediate users, I recommend anything between 1.5-1.75 inches in diameter.
  • For more advanced users, I recommend anything above 1.75 inches in diameter.

Why I Chose It

“I was surprised at how much it added to my own experience and how sexy I felt wearing it, and I fully encourage you if you’re on the fence to bite the bullet (or gag) and try it out for yourself.”

The was the verdict from our tester, Joseph, after they tested out the Sportsheets Saffron Ball Gag. This big ball gag is made of soft silicone that’s comfortable to bite down on. It’s completely safe to use, and the silicone ball will retain its shape and quality for a long time.

The vegan leather strap is fully adjustable and fits a wide range of head sizes. It has a buckle fastening that stands out for its lockable feature. I own my own lockable ball gag and I know how much of a difference it can make in terms of spicing thing up! This feature is always a win – especially for more experienced users.

Some people might find the ball too big, and others prefer a ball gag with breathing holes in it for their first forays into gags. I love that the strap has the authentic look and feel of leather, but it is vegan.

A Closer Look
  • Small silicone ball gag with a simple nylon strap
  • Strap can be fully removed from the ball for easy cleaning
  • Double D-ring clasp fastening system.

Pros

  • Very beginner-friendly
  • D-ring fastening is easy to use
  • Nylon strap feels soft
  • Easy to clean

Cons

  • Not breathable
  • Straps can feel uncomfortable during longer sessions

Why I Chose It

As a beginner-friendly ball gag, the Bondage Boutique Beginner’s Ball Gag impressed me with its simplicity and comfort. It also really impressed our tester, Edie! While other gags have usually caused some discomfort because of the size, this one “fit in my mouth, behind my teeth beautifully, Not only that, I had room to breathe around the smaller ball and it’s a rubbery silicone that’s quite comfortable”.

Overall, she found that it’s the perfect ‘starter ball gag’ since “it’s a high-quality ball gag that’s small enough to get the hushed effect without pain”. The soft nylon strap felt surprisingly gentle against the skin and the D-ring fastener, made it incredibly user-friendly, even for someone new to this type of play.

From a budget perspective, this ball gag is an excellent choice. It offers good quality at a very reasonable price. I think it’s a great option for those just starting their BDSM journey or wanting to experiment with gags without spending too much. While it may not have the aesthetic appeal of leather or metal gags, I think the functionality and comfort makes it a worthwhile purchase for adventurous beginners!

Pros

  • Breathable design makes it super easy to use
  • Lockable feature allows for kinky versatility
  • Beginner-friendly ball size

Cons

  • Not very soft to bite down on
  • Not as long-lasting as genuine leather

Why I Chose It

I’ve actually had the pleasure of testing the Sportsheets Saffron Breathable Ball Gag out for myself! After trying it out, I think it’s an excellent choice for those venturing into BDSM play.

The ball isn’t quite as small as you would expect a beginner’s ball gag to be, but the breathable element makes it so approachable and easy to use. Although, I strongly recommend taking plenty of breaks during your session so your jaw doesn’t get too sore.

For something so affordable, I was impressed by the great quality. I love the luxurious storage bag that came with it. The faux leather strap also feels nice and comfortable.

An extra kinky feature that stood out to me was the lockable buckle. This just allows you to take your gagging adventure to a whole new level by introducing some power play and dominance into the mix.

All in all, if you’re starting your BDSM journey or looking for a breathable, easy-to-use ball gag, this could be a great addition to your collection. However, if you prefer larger sizes or genuine leather, you might want to explore other options.

  • Heart-shaped silicone ball gag
  • Breathable design

Pros

  • Made of soft, high-quality silicone
  • Adorable heart-shaped design
  • Breathable and comfortable for extended wear
  • Adjustable buckle fastening for a secure fit

Cons

  • Straps may not be very strong
  • Easy to remove, reducing the sense of restraint

Why I Chose It

I think the Sex and Mischief Amor Gag is a fantastic choice for those new to BDSM or looking for something less intimidating and more playful. The quality is quite good for its price, and it’s particularly suited for beginner to intermediate levels of play. Even though the width is quite big (compared to other beginner-friendly sizes), the shape of the gag makes it a bit more manageable.

Its cute design sets it apart from more conventional gags, adding a whimsical touch to your experience. Our tester, Isabelle, absolutely loved the design and thought it was “such a nice change from the usual plain black designs. It felt much more in line with my personality and more fun to wear!”.

She was “pleasantly surprised by how comfortable it was to wear and it didn’t take long to get used to at all!”. She did note that her jaw ached slightly in the beginning but that went away quickly. Plus, the hole makes this a breathable ball gag, which does make it a perfect first time gag!

“I think for such a cheap and simple accessory, it can really add a lot if you enjoy playing with power dynamics, from the act of your partner strapping you in, to giving them control of your mouth and when you can take it off.”

A Closer Look
  • Breathable ball gag with attached nipple clamps
  • Gag and strap are made of silicone with
  • Nipple clamps have adjustable crocodile tips.

Pros

  • Comfortable for extended play
  • Adjustable clamps
  • The two metal o-rings can be used to add other restraints
  • Lockable hook

Cons

  • Chain length might not suit all bodies
  • Chains are not removable

Why I Chose It

I think this ball gag is a great option for those who love using nipple clamps or want to play around with additional restraints with their ball gag. The two large metal o-rings on the side of the gag work wonderfully for adding a leash or any other restraints you’d like to play around with that. Additionally, the breathable design makes this medium-sized ball gag a lot more comfortable to wear during those extended BDSM sessions. According to our tester, Sarah, “the ball is cushy and when I placed it in my mouth it wasn’t as uncomfortable as I assumed it would be”.

For the nipple clamps, I really like that the adjustable feature and the easy-to-use crocodile-style clamps. My only point of critique is that the chains attaching them to the ball gag aren’t very long. They may not be long enough to comfortably reach the nipples on all body types. The chain is not removable either. This would have been an easy way to make the product a lot more versatile. Some users have also reported that the clamps are relatively gentle, so those looking for a more aggressive pinch may be slightly disappointed.

One thing I really do appreciate about this ball gag is that the strap is also made of silicone. This makes it super easy to clean with warm water and soap, while the metal components can easily be wiped down with a damp cloth. The lockable buckle is also a great plus for those who really want to subdue their sub. Although, keep in mind that the lock and key are not included.

Do Ball Gags Make You Gag?

Indeed, the name would certainly lead you to believe that a ball gag would make you gag. However, in this case, the word gag means to quiet, stifle or stop speaking or talking. But there are cases in which a ball gag would make the wearer gag and wretch. For instance, I know people who cannot brush their teeth without triggering their gag reflex.

So, in that case, sure, a ball gag could cause you to gag. Consequently, if you have a touchy gag reflex and want to try a ball gag, there are different types you can try that are smaller, shaped differently or don’t have a ball at all. We will touch on that a bit more later. But ultimately, ball gags do not make you gag.

Types of Ball Gags

When looking at ball gags you have choices: you need to decide what type you want! After all, there are plenty of different kinds available! So let’s take a little look at some of the most popular ones!

  • Solid ball – Probably the first thing that comes to mind when you say ball gag is the solid ball. Going in your mouth it doesn’t allow for anything in or out – not even air. You’re going to have to rely on your nose for that!
  • Breathable – If you want something where you can breathe a little easier, then a breathable gag is probably going to be the best thing for you. With holes in it, it allows for a little air flow to keep that oxygen coming!
  • O-ring – Holding your mouth wide open, the O-ring gag is perfect for insertion. It sits behind the teeth, and whether its fingers, cock, or anything else going in there, it allows some amazingly sexy access!
  • Dildo gag – As the name suggests, a dildo gag has a dildo attached to it! It’s an amazingly fun option if you have a partner that wants to keep you quiet while using the dildo to keep themselves pleased!
  • Bit gag – If you want something to bite down on then the bit gag is for you. Like a bar through your mouth, it holds it open and allows you to sink your teeth into it as you sink further into the world of pleasure!
  • Harness gag – Much more of an ‘outfit’ than the previous gags we’ve talked about, the harness gag can be strapped around much more of your head. Great for bondage play if you’re really into BDSM!

Types of Ball Gags for Beginners

Small Ball Gags

Small ball gags usually feature a ball that is no bigger than 1,5 inches. This way, the wearer’s mouth is not fully restricted and the jaw isn’t forced open to a level of discomfort.

This Bondage Boutique Beginner’s Ball Gag has a small silicone ball and a very mildly restrictive adjustable nylon strap.

Breathable Ball Gags

Breathable gags are also a great option for beginners – or simply for people who are more comfortable being able to play with gags without restricting their breathing.

Small holes within a hollow ball will allow the wearer to easily breathe through their mouth during play!

This Saffron Breathable Ball Gag from Sportsheets is also made of flexible silicone for a softer experience.

Ball Gag Training Set

For absolute beginners, gags can be hard on your jaw. And while you should only wear gags for 15 minutes at a time, as a beginner, over time, you could work your way up to bigger balls and more restriction with a training set.

This Fetish Fantasy Breathable Ball Gag Training System includes three different sized balls, so you can slowly train your sub level up in size and duration!

Bit Gags

Not a fan of the classic ball gag? If you still want some restrictive mouth bondage or forced silencing, bit gags are a great alternative design! They are made to bite down on during use. So they won’t keep your mouth wide open, but they’ll still muffle your sounds in a delicious way!

Types of Open Mouth Ball Gags

Lip Gags

The design may give it away fairly easily but this type of gag is basically meant to keep your sub’s mouth open and ready for anything you desire.

It has the classic bondage feel of a ball gag, but allows you to insert a few teasing fingers, a dildo, or your penis into your sub’s mouth at your full mercy. Lip gags are also used for humiliation play, objectification, and sissy play!

This S&M Silicone Lips Open Mouth Gag keeps your subs lips apart while you enjoy their mouth.

O-Ring Gags

O-ring gags are very similar to lip gags, but simply differ in design. Some O-ring gags will also come in different sizes, some of which are not meant to be compatible with bondage blowjobs. They might just be for the look and feel of open mouth bondage!

This O-Ring or Deep Throat Gag from Oxy-Shop is available in a quite versatile size for several different uses! It could even be great for fulfilling pony play fantasies, if you attach a leash!

Spider Gags

This type of open mouth is definitely a more hardcore device. Spider gags have multiple “legs” attached to the O-ring to really force the wearer’s mouth open and restrict their lips as well.

Not only does this device look particularly devious, it is great for making your sub drool uncontrollably during use! The Spider Gag from Stockroom is great for this!

The super restrictive stainless steel design is also a great for fulfilling medical fetish fantasies and can easily be used as a medical fetish toy!

Panel Gags

Panel gags are the type of ball gags that are really meant to keep your sub quiet. With a flat padded panel covering the whole mouth, you’re guaranteed much more restriction in terms of sound and breathing. That’s why these types of ball gags are also better suited for more experienced kinksters.

Fleshlight Gags

Fleshlight gags are meant for next level blowjob bliss… or not quite… well, bliss, at least! They’re pretty self explanatory. Combining the illusion of vaginal penetration with the actual feel of bondage blowjobs would bring most people bliss, I think!

This Pussy Face Oral Sex Mouth Gag really does offer some semi-realistic gagged penetration and it keeps your sub nice and quiet in the meantime!

Dildo Gags/Penis Gags

There are two types of dildo gags. One kind features the tip of a dildo on the inside of the panel, meant to be placed snugly into the wearers mouth during use, enhancing the sensation of being stuffed orally.

This Strict Cock Head Silicone Mouth Gag securely attaches the gag to your sub’s face, making sure they’re fully stuffed and all sounds coming from them are nice and muffled.

The other type is simply reversed. With a small ball on the inside to keep the wearers mouth somewhat open, this type features the dildo on the outside of the panel. A dildo gag, like this Bondage Boutique Silicone Gag with Dildo will turn your face into the best seat in the house!

Inflatable Gags

Similar to the dildo gag with a small dildo on the inside of the panel, these gags feature an inflatable dildo instead! Meant to slowly overwhelm the mouth of the wearer, you or your partner will be able to control the size of dildo going deeper into your mouth with every pump!

This Bondage Boutique Inflatable Dildo Gag will keep you sub quiet while you push them to their limit with quite the mouthful!

Gags with Attachments!

So we’ve gone over the most important different types of ball gags out there, but we’re not quite done yet! There’s a whole additional category to cover! There are a lot of ball gags with fun accessories and attachments to elevate your gag play.

Whenever there’s an opportunity to combine different bondage tools for enhanced sensations and restraint, you can count on all the kinksters to grab it!

Ball Gags with Nipple Clamps

Ball gags with nipple clamps are a classic combination that you might have seen before! Spice up your ball gag experience by adding some adjustable nipple clamps to heighten your sensitivity and letting the movement of your head tug on your nipples!

This DOMINIX Deluxe Large Breathable Ball Gag with Nipple Clamps already comes with attached clamps, so you don’t have to DIY this sensation.

Ball Gags with Collars

Up your bondage game with a ball gag attached to a posture collar. Posture collars are meant to keep your subs head in place. Keep them right where you want them, and enjoy the full control you now have over both their head and their face with this kind of contraption!

Materials

What your ball gag is made of is kind of an important thing. After all – it’s going in your mouth! You don’t want anything nasty or harmful going in there! So here are a few materials that you need to look out for.

  • Silicone – You can never go wrong with silicone sex toys! It is a body safe material, and because it is non-porous it can be cleaned easily. It’s not the hardest material ever, but if you want a little bit of give in your ball gags then this is a perfect!
  • ABS plastic – A hard kind of plastic, many gags on the cheaper end of the scale are made with this material. With good care it will last years. As it holds its shape and is inflexible, it’s great for breathable gags as the holes will never close up.
  • PVC – We would always avoid ball gags made from PVC as it’s really not body-safe. It can harbor bacteria and leech harmful chemicals into your body. Gross! And dangerous!
