Locking ball gags: how I tested em!

Testing locking ball gags was actually a lot of fun, and I’m going to talk you through how I did it! First, I check in with Bedbible’s reliable network of freelancers, who have used these ball gags during their bedroom antics. Then I looked at each and every aspect of them, rating them in many different areas including quality, design, ease of use, and even price. Finally, I was able to look at all the locking ball gag offerings and give them a star rating out of 5. So not only do you get an in-depth deep-dive into each of the gags, but you also get a quick and easy-to-understand rundown, too!

Locking Ball Gag vs. Regular Ball Gag

There are a few differences between locking ball gags and regular ball gags. But first, let me highlight the similarities: they both feature balls that go into your mouth and keep you quiet. They are both secured around the back of your head via some kind of strap. But locking ball gags make it trickier for you or your sub to remove them. It dials the ball gag experience up to 11!

My verdict

The Sincerely Lace Silicone Ball Gag by Sportsheets is an insanely fun addition to anyone’s BDSM toy box collection. Made out of silicone and a premium-looking and feeling faux leather, it’s one that will send shivers up and down your spine…though you won’t be able to verbalize that while wearing it! The lock and key are a great addition, and it’s good that this gag comes with them (as many others might sell them separately). The ball may be a little too small for some, though I’m sure it will serve the purpose for most people. There are plenty of holes along the well-sized strap to allow you to customize it and lock it at the perfect tightness. I’ll be honest, the few low points of the Sincerely Lace Silicone Ball Gag are by far outweighed by the high points!

You should buy the Sincerely Lace Silicone Ball Gag if you...

  1. Want a silicone ball gag
  2. Need it to come with a lock and key
  3. Want it to be very adjustable

You should not buy the Sincerely Lace Silicone Ball Gag if you...

  1. Are looking for an elasticated ball gag
  2. Want a less lose-able locking system
  3. Want a larger ball in your mouth

A Closer Look at the Training Ball Gag with Dildo Ring

Starting with the original Locking Trainer Ball Gag design, which features a locking, black leather strap, and a non-toxic black rubber ball mouthpiece, we have added a dildo ring to the front of the mouth gag, giving you the option of strapping a dildo onto the front. The nickel-plated ring is 2″ in diameter, and it attaches with snaps. This ring size will work with most dildos, so long as they have a flat base.

Pros

  • Dildo harness
  • Beginner friendly
  • Small ball

Cons

  • Ball may not be big enough for some
  • Will fit most dildos but not all
  • Expensive

My verdict

If you’re a beginner, then you might want to consider the Training Ball Gag with Dildo Ring. It has a small rubber ball that sits in your mouth, and plenty of straps that wrap around the back of your head, as well as over the top and under your chin. These can be locked in place via strong buckles. It also has the capability to fit a dildo in it, too, via the ring on the outside of the gag. This means that you can please someone else while being deprived of your own voice! For me, though, the Training Ball Gag with Dildo Ring is a little too expensive for a beginner locking ball gag. That is not reflected in the quality of the toy. It may be fun for some, but not one that I would recommend right off of the bat.

You should buy the Training Ball Gag with Dildo Ring if you...

  1. Want your mouth stuffing with a rubber ball
  2. Need to be able to attach a dildo
  3. Don't mind paying the steep price

You should not buy the Training Ball Gag with Dildo Ring if you...

  1. Don't need to attach a dildo
  2. Are a more advanced locking ball gag user
  3. Are on a budget

A Closer Look at the Locking Ball Gag with Dildo Ring

Starting with the original Locking Ball Gag design, which features a locking, black leather strap, and a non-toxic black rubber ball mouthpiece, we have added a dildo ring to the front of the gag, giving the option of strapping a dildo onto the front. The nickel-plated ring is 2″ in diameter, and attaches with snaps. This ring size will work with most dildos, so long as they have some kind of a base on them. For example, the balls on the typical cock-and-ball dildo will suffice.

Pros

  • Dildo compatible
  • Small sized ball
  • Thick leather straps

Cons

  • Ball may be to small for some
  • Some may prefer more straps

My verdict

Some people love the option of being able to incorporate a dildo into their ball gag. If that’s the case, then the Locking Ball Gag with Dildo Ring will be a treat. It has a chunky leather strap that holds it around your head and can be buckled tightly in place. You can also use additional locks for extra security. There is a well-sized ring that will fit most flat-bottomed dildos, so you have a lot of options there, too. As with the Training Ball Gag with Dildo Ring, not everyone will love this gag, and it will only suit a certain demographic. The rubber is not of the highest quality, and the strap may not be enough for some people. That being said, the Locking Ball Gag with Dildo Ring is a more affordable option, so it may be worth buying to try out. If it suits you then good, if not then you’ve not lost out too much!

You should buy the Locking Ball Gag with Dildo Ring if you...

  1. Want to incorporate a dildo into your gag
  2. Want a nice thick strap
  3. Don't need a ball that is too big

You should not buy the Locking Ball Gag with Dildo Ring if you...

  1. Are wanting something a little more extreme
  2. Don't like the dildo feature
  3. Prefer more straps for around your head

How to use locking ball gags

Using lockable ball gags might come easy to some people. On the other hand, there are those that may find using them pretty tricky. If that’s the case, allow me to talk you through exactly what to do when you get your hands on one of these bad boys!

How to use locking ball gags

Choose the perfect locking ball gag for you!

Choose the perfect locking ball gag for you!

With so many locking ball gag options out there, it can be tricky to find one that really suits you. You need to consider the size, how you’re going to use it, who you’re going to be using it with, and what exactly you need from a lockable ball gag. Once you’ve defined answers for all of these questions, you’ll be able to choose one that will keep you thrilled…and quiet!

How to use locking ball gags

Put that ball in your mouth first!

Put that ball in your mouth first!

You want to start off by putting the ball in your mouth first. You do this because it’s far easier to attach it around the back of your head this way. You’re literally holding the ball in place with your teeth, freeing up your hands for the next step!

How to use locking ball gags

Secure that strap and lock things up!

Secure that strap and lock things up!

Now that the ball is in place, use your hands to secure the strap into place around the back of your head. Find an appropriate tightness that really holds the ball in there, and secure it with the lock. Now it’s super difficult to get out of, no matter how much you might struggle! Fun times!

How to clean locking ball gags

You need to keep your locking ball gags clean if you want to enjoy them time after time! But how do you do that? Well, I've very kindly provided you with some super handy resources that will ensure your locking ball gags remain clean and hygienic for as long as possible!

Porous
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.

Non-propous
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.

The toys with electrical
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.

FAQ

Are locking ball gags better than normal ones?
It all depends on what you want out of the toys. Some people will love the much more inescapable aspect of these ball gags, though others may prefer to know that they can easily and quickly take it off if they need to. It all depends on what you need. But I certainly wouldn't say one is better than the other!
Does it hurt to wear locking ball gags?
No, it shouldn't do. The strap around the back of your head should be tight enough to hold the ball very firmly in place. You don't want it locked up too tightly and squeezing you, as there's no pleasure there! If using your locking ball gag hurts, stop, take it off, and readjust it so it's more comfortable!
Cal I use locking ball gags on my own?
You can...but you'd probably get a lot more out of it if you use it with a partner. Besides, if you use a locking ball gag on your own, you may find it far tricker to get out of. So if alone, I'd probably recommend using an elasticated gag instead, just for safety.
Where can I buy locking ball gags?
Right here by following the links in my post! Bedbible only works with the very best sex toy shops out there, so you can click in confidence, safe in the knowledge that the shops you're directed to are well-loved and well respected! The fun should start before you even click 'buy'!

What are locking ball gags?

Locking ball gags are very much like normal ball gags, but the big difference is that they use locks to be totally secured around the back of your head! It's a much more inescapable version of this classic BDSM item that people will absolutely love!
