How I Assessed Each Bit Gag
With each article, my aim is to provide honest, unbiased information that genuinely helps you make smarter shopping choices. Let’s be honest: sex toys aren’t cheap! As such, it’s extremely important to know exactly what you’re buying.
To make each article as accurate as possible, I’ve used a standardized rating system that considers various factors like design, build quality, ease of use, and price-to-performance. I’ve also sourced information from as many places as possible, mainly focusing on user reviews to provide real-world insight.
By reading the summary of everything I’ve found for each product, you’ll easily be able to identify the pros and cons of each product. In turn, your shopping process should be fairly straightforward!

Bit Gags Vs. Ball Gags & Open Mouth Gags
If this is your first time buying a gag then you might find some of the terminology confusing. To help prevent further confusion and accidental purchases, let’s quickly go over the differences between a few different types of gags!
- Bit gags are generally designed to imitate the form of a horse’s bit (or bridle). They use a bar that fits between the teeth, with a harness wrapped firmly around the head to keep the bit gag in place. These gaps force the mouth open. As such, the wearer will be muffled but not completely cut off from airflow.
- Ball gags are the type that most people seem familiar with. These gags force a ball or oval-shaped gag in the wearer’s mouth, secured with a strap around the head. These gags completely fill the mouth, muffling noises and cutting off most—if not all—airflow.
- Open mouth gags are completely different. Rather than obstructing the mouth, these gags force the wearer’s mouth to remain open at all times without any obstructions.
Best Materials for Bit Gags
Generally, there will be three different materials used in a bit gag: the bit material, the strap material, and the connector material. Just like with other sex toys, non-porous is always the preferred option as porous materials can harbor bacteria.
Silicone is generally the go-to choice for the bit itself, although leather is sometimes used. Either one will work, but silicone is the “safer” option. In the end, it’s up to you, but—if you want a non-porous and tasteless option—silicone is what I’d recommend.
Materials are a bit less important when it comes to the straps. Essentially, you’re looking for quality here, rather than being non-porous. Both genuine leather and faux leather will do just fine. However, it may be a bit more work if you want to maintain the leather properly.
Lastly, there’s the connector (ring) material to consider. Pretty much any material will work fine here, but metal is the common choice. The main thing you’ll want to look out for is nickel-plated metal, which could cause allergic reactions.
FAQ
What is a Bit Gag?
A bit gag is a type of BDSM gag designed to mimic the form of a horse’s bit. Many models stick to this standard design, and some may even incorporate a head harness to complete the pony play aesthetic. However, there are also other designs offered, such as gags that use a bone-shaped bit. Since bit gags allow for some airflow and don’t require the wearer to open their mouth as much as other types of gags, using a bit gag is an excellent option for a complete beginner.

The 8 Best bit gags in Test
Stockroom Silicone Bit Gag

First up is our test winner, the Stockroom Silicone Bit Gag! Performing amazingly across the board, this beginner-friendly gag is perfect for any level of user.
The gag itself is shaped loosely like a bone, making it suitable for more specific use cases (like puppy play) as well as general use.
Made using silicone & leather, this sturdy gag fits comfortably in the mouth, allowing you to bite down hard without worry.
It’s fully adjustable and held securely in place using a locking clasp. If desired, you can even lock it using your own padlock for truly inescapable silence!
Whether you’re looking for a solid first-time gag or just want something reliable, the Silicone Bit Gag from The Stockroom will treat you well.


This silicone and leather bit gag is a good all-around option. It uses mostly high-quality components, although the nickel-plated metal it uses for the hooks does somewhat let it down. However, unless you have a nickel allergy, this shouldn’t pose a giant issue.
Many bar gags feature a recognizable design for the bar itself. The bar on this toy loosely looks like a bone, but it’s a neutral enough design that it won’t look out of place for pony play either. This adds some perceived value to the gag, as you’re not limited in the type(s) of play you can use it for.
Beyond design, the price is also worth mentioning. While it’s definitely not the cheapest option around, I think it’s a fair asking rate at less than $40.
Overall, the Stockroom Silicone Bit Gag is a good buy. While it doesn’t excel in any particular categories, it does manage to provide a satisfactory experience overall that should be more than enough for any type of play you’re planning!
Black & White Silicone Bit Gag

Next up is my “Cheapest” pick, the Black & White Silicone Bit Gag!
Don’t be fooled though. Just because it’s cheap doesn’t mean this silicone bit gag isn’t worth your consideration. In fact, it’s quite the opposite!
For less than $25, you get an adjustable silicone gag bit paired with an adjustable leather band that secures the gag bit firmly in place during play.
Perfect for BDSM play on a budget, this classic black and silver look of this gag will look right at home next to anything else you may have in your home dungeon.
The next time you want a way to silence your sub but don’t want to spend a bunch of money to do it, consider picking up your own Black & White Silicone Bit Gag!


When it comes to budget-friendly options, you really can’t beat the effective simplicity of the Black & White Silicone Bit Gag!
There isn’t anything particularly special about this silicone bit gag, but it serves its purpose effectively. Fully adjustable via a clasp, you can even lock the BDSM bit gag on your sub’s head by using the integrated lock ring.
However, it is important to note that these bar gags don’t use genuine leather. Instead, they use bonded leather! While this isn’t very surprising given the low price point, I still thought it was something you might want to know before clicking the “Buy Now” button.
All in all, there isn’t very much to say about this product. If you want something that just works, it’s a good option, but look elsewhere if you’re looking for a more premium experience.
Sincerely Lace Bit Gag

For newcomers, finding a BDSM bit gag that’s not too intimidating can be a challenge. Fortunately, that’s not the case with the Sincerely Lace Bit Gag!
As far as mouth bits BDSM accessories go, this option is one of the least intimidating out there. Featuring a small bit gag attached to 53 inches of lace, this bit gag is very comfortable during use.
Assuming your partner is paying attention, you won’t need to worry about getting your hair stuck in this draw gag bit. If tied right, the gag is both easy to put on & to take off.
Offered for less than $25 and ready to use as soon as it arrives, the Sincerely Lace Bit Gag serves as the perfect introduction to light BDSM and pony play for beginners!
This bit gag definitely isn’t intended for more experienced users, making it the obvious “Beginner” recommendation for this list!
Although more seasoned users can certainly use it as well, this sliding gag bit will be the most appreciated by those who are just starting out exploring new kinks.
Being lace, the gag & gag bit will be much more comfortable to wear than leather or faux leather gags. There’s no metal used in the design, which means you won’t have to worry if you have nickel allergies.
That said, it is worth noting that this sliding gag bit contains polyester and polyurethane, which can cause allergic reactions in some people.
Anyone at any level can have an enjoyable experience using this bit gag. However, I think it especially shines for beginners, where its non-threatening look and high levels of comfort make it an appealing option.
DOMINIX Deluxe Leather Bit Gag

The silicone gag bit is a classic option, but sometimes you want to switch things up. If so, why not try out a leather bit gag instead?
The DOMINIX Deluxe Leather Bit Gag fits the bill perfectly, being made from mainly leather with bits of metal added in where necessary.
Affordably priced and easy to use, this bit gag will look at home alongside the rest of your BDSM gear.
Although it doesn’t offer any color options, it does have a classic BDSM look that you’re sure to love.
If you want to experiment with bar gags but don’t like the traditional silicone bit gag, try switching things up with this leather option instead!


As noted by a few different customers, the DOMINIX Deluxe Leather Bit Gag isn’t ideal for small mouths. Since the bit itself is sewn together and there aren’t any alternative sizes available, the size of your mouth plays a significant factor.
However, if you have an “average” sized mouth, you shouldn’t run into issues. As such, most people will be able to enjoy this leather bit gag without a hitch!
In terms of design, the gag bit is quite simple, using two pieces of leather to obstruct the mouth of the weather. Being wider than most silicone options, this bit gag will be more effective at silencing your sub.
The gag is fully adjustable, using buckles to secure the gag in place. However, unlike some alternative options, this particular model doesn’t allow you to lock the gag on your sub’s head, which is a bit disappointing.
All in all, the DOMINIX Deluxe Leather Bit Gag is a great option for people who want something a bit different. Sure, you have to deal with the taste of leather, but hey, that’s half the fun!
Bondage Boutique Silicone Dog Bone Gag

Next up is my “Puppy Play” pick, the Bondage Boutique Silicone Dog Bone Gag!
This bit gag easily takes the top spot for this category, from its collared look to the silicone bone used for the bit gag.
Thanks to the metal D-rings on the sides of the gag bit, you can expand your options at a whim with items such as chains or a leash for your sub.
With eight holes to adjust as needed and a one-inch-thick gag to muffle your puppy’s whines, the Bondage Boutique Silicone Dog Bone Gag is perfect for anyone looking for a new puppy play accessory!


The Bondage Boutique Silicone Dog Bone Gag was made with a specific target audience in mind, and this shows. However, that’s not a bad thing. In fact, it’s quite the opposite!
In every aspect, this silicone bit gag just screams “puppy play”. The silicone bone used for the gag itself makes that quite obvious, but the leather straps also look like a collar, fitting along with the theme.
This bit gag features a D-ring on each side of the bit, which could be useful for attaching other puppy play accessories for more fun. So, what are the negatives?
Well, there aren’t many to speak of. You can’t lock this gag, which is a bit of a downside, and there also aren’t any color options.
I think this is a missed opportunity, as they should—in my opinion—at least offer an off-white bone version to really complete the look.
Overall, though, I think this gag bit is a good option for people who enjoy puppy play. If that sounds like you then I recommend adding this to your collection!
SportSheets Saffron Silicone Bit Gag





As we’ve seen, black is a very common color when it comes to bar gags & BDSM equipment. However, if you’re looking to add a bit more color to your purchase, you might like this next option.
Pairing a deep red collar with the classic black bit gag, the Saffron Silicone Bit Gag is a great-looking silicone option!
The gag uses faux leather for the straps, making it a vegan-friendly option for those who want a cruelty-free product.
Completely adjustable using the buckles, this bit gag will fit comfortably in your mouth, preventing noise without hurting your jaw or becoming uncomfortable over time.
Whether you’re searching for a different color scheme or just want a vegan-friendly option, the Saffron Silicone Bit Gag is the way to go!


The biggest selling point of this bit gag is its color, which is why it’s been given the “Red” award: no other options on this list have much to offer in the way of color variety!
Aside from being red, the Saffron Silicone Bit Gag is also one of the few vegan-friendly options (and it’s advertised as such!). A few of the other options might be vegan but don’t specify, which is important if that’s what you’re looking for.
Beyond these two factors, the Saffron Silicone Bit Gag meets all of the standard expectations. It’s adjustable, it uses a silicone bit, and it has D-rings that can be used to incorporate additional accessories into your setup.
If you’re specifically looking for a vegan-friendly or non-black option, you can’t go wrong with the Saffron Silicone Bit Gag. For everyone else, it’s just a regular bit gag (but a solid option nonetheless!).
Strict Silicone Bit Gag and Nipple Clamps

If you’re getting tired of looking at plain old bar gags and want something a bit more adventurous, why not step things up by adding nipple clamps into the mix!?
The Strict Silicone Bit Gag and Nipple Clamps combines two toys in one, allowing you to punish your sub while silencing them at the same time.
The clamps dangle from two chains that are attached to the silicone bit gag itself. Easily adjusted via the base screws, you get to choose how much “pinch” your sub has to deal with.
Perfect for those who want to spice things up, consider adding the Strict Silicone Bit Gag and Nipple Clamps to your toy box!


Earning the designated “Nipple Clamps” title, this silicone bit gag builds slightly upon the standalone gag design to provide twice the fun with just a single purchase!
The main downside, of course, is the price. Coming in at around $60, the Strict Silicone Bit Gag and Nipple Clamps costs about twice as much as nearly every option.
On the plus side, you do get what you pay for. You won’t have to worry a
