Types of Bondage Gags
While I’ve only included full reviews of three of the most popular types of bondage gags, there are a lot of different types of bondage gags out there. Some are more extreme and less common but they all add a delicious touch to any kind of kinky play and provide some decent oral restraint.
- Bit gags – These are super beginner-friendly bondage gags that don’t require the wearer to open their jaw very wide. The wearer can bite down on the firm bit piece in the middle restricting their oral abilities but still keeping them comfortable. Bit gags also have a great look for engaging in some pony play. You can also add two leather leashes to the sides of a bit gag for some kinky reins!
- Ball gags – Ah yes, the good old classic ball gag. From small ball gags for beginners to big ball gags for intense jaw locking. There are comfortable and body safe silicone ball gags and rubber ball gags to bite down on. This classic device straps in around your head and keeps a ball in place behind your teeth, keeping your mouth open, allowing drool to drip down and makes you unable to speak or breathe through your mouth.
- Breathable ball gags – The same concept as with a classic ball gag but just a tad more beginner-friendly. Two or three holes in the hollow ball will allow you to breathe through the ball while wearing the bondage gag. This way the wearer may feel more comfortable and be able to wear the ball gag for longer periods of time.
- O-ring gags – The classic version of an open mouth gag to keep your sub’s mouth open and ready for anything. A firm O-ring in the middle (usually a metal ring coated in silicone) is worn behind the teeth to keep the mouth open. O-ring gags are great for producing a lot of drool and for playing around with oral penetration (with fingers or a penis) while the mouth is kept open.
- Lip gags – Lip gags are another type of open mouth gag. They are very similar to o-ring gags as they simply keep the mouth open and allow for some oral penetration play while the drool gets to drip out continuously. A significant difference is in the design, as lip gags have a set of plastic lips surrounding the opening, mimicking the look of an open set of lip awaiting penetration.
- Spider gags – Another open mouth gag for more ekstreme kinksters. A spider gag is basically a metal o-ring gag that has a few “legs” on each side of the ring to keep the mouth open and really restrict your subs ability to move their lips.
- Hook gags – These bondage gags actually don’t have any anchor in the middle of the gag like all the other types of bondage gags. Instead, a hook on either side of the strap hooks into the sides of the mouth and keeps the mouth open by tightening the strap around the head.
FAQ
What Are Bondage Gags?
Bondage gag is a term that describes all the different kinds of BDSM gags out there. All kinds of gags are essentially a piece of bondage equipment as they restrict the face itself and the use of someones mouth. It limits their ability to speak, creates a whole lot of drool, and basically leaves the wearer at the mercy of their dominant, who now has control over their face and mouth. All the different types of BDSM gags you know about can actually be decribed as a bondage gag. Ball gags, open mouth gags, bit gags, and hook gags are also part of this umbrella term.

Look no further than the Fetish Fantasy Extreme Silicone O-Ring Gag. I really enjoyed the look and feel of this o-ring gag. The silicone strap makes this bondage gag super easy to clean and feels very comfortable to wear. I did partly expect it to tug on my skin or hair a little bit, but it actually is more smooth that expected. Although all bondage gags will make the wearer drool a lot, this one stands out. Open mouth gags (especially) o-ring gags create a lot of saliva by keeping the mouth completely open and letting the drool run out. So, if you like the idea of bondage gags because you love excessive drooling udirng your kinky sessions, this one might be a great option for you!

How to Use Bondage Gags
There’s a big chance that you already know the basics of using ball gags. In this section, I’ll give you some inspiration for how to use your bondage gags as part of your regular BDSM sessions.
Attach Nipple Clamps
Add a delightful pinch with some attachable nipple clamps or a clit clamp. This way any slight movement will tug gently on your sensitive bits as you are gagged and restrained.
Add a leash
You can also attach a leash to your bondage gag and parade your sub around the room. If you’re using a bit gag for pony play, you can also attach two leashes (one on each side of the gag) and create some kinky reins.
Be sure to tug very gently on any leash you attach, since the ball gag is attached to the face and head. You should never yank on anything attached to this part of the body to avoid any neck injuries!
Attach to any restraint system
As long as there are fastening points (o-rings or D-rings) on your bondage gag, you can basically attach it to anything. If you’e already playing around with some type of restraint system (like handcuffs for sex, a BDSM collar, or even a full body restraint system, like these Sportsheets Under the Bed Restraints) you can easily attach your bondage gag with some bondage rope.
This might help the wearer feel even more restricted! It’s also a good way to play around with predicament bondage.
How to Clean Bondage Gags
Most bondage gags will not be fully waterproof and should therefore not be submerged in water for cleaning. The bit that goes into the mouth will most likely be waterproof and can handle a gentle rinse in warm water and some mild soap or sex toy cleaner (to clean up the worst bit). The strap itself can then be wiped down with a damp cloth, again with some warm water and a mild soap. Wipe your bondage gag with a dry towel and let fully dry before putting it back for storage.
materials
Soft plastic, hard plastic, jelly, rubber, Cyberskin are all porous materials, meaning that small particles and bacteria can penetrate the surface. This makes it impossible to completely clean these types of materials.
Therefore, it is recommended that you use a condom with these types of toys, especially if you are sharing them. Clean these toys with mild soapy water and dry gently with a towel. These materials are more easily damaged, so be sure to be gentle and make sure your toys are completely dry before storing.
materials
Silicone, glass, stainless steel and some hard plastics can all be washed using a mild soap (like you would use on your body) and warm water. Just be careful if your toy contains electrical parts.
Silicone and stainless steel toys without any electrical parts can also be boiled for sterilisation.
components
If your toys contain electrical components, be extra careful when cleaning them and always check the instructions provided with the toy. You can use a gentle cloth and soap to wipe or sex toy cleaner or cleaning wipe to down your toy, making sure that no water comes into contact with the electrical parts.
