How do we test the best ball gags?

Testing ball gags takes a surprising amount of hard work, but with our incredible tester team and an army of freelancers, we have crafted a well-thought-out and balanced review!

With over 60 hours put into this post alone, you know that you’re getting some detailed stuff! We looked at every aspect of the ball gags, from their size, shape, and texture, to the effectiveness of them. And we did so in a completely unbiased way.

Unlike shops such as Lovehoney or SheVibe, it’s not our job to sell you these toys; we just want to provide you with the facts. The pros, the cons, the good sides, the bad sides, and everything in between. We want you to be able to make a well-informed decision before making your ball gag purchase!

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!

How big should my ball gag be

When it comes to the size of a ball gag, you need to get it just right. Too small and it won’t have any effect really. Too large and it just won’t fit! As a general rule, if you are new to gags, it’s best to start out with a small gag and gradually work your way up to using big ball gags.

A Closer Look at the Saffron Silicone Ball Gag by Sportsheets

The Saffron Silicone Gag is our best in test, and it’s not hard to see why. This top-tier gag takes your pleasure to new levels during BDSM play.

It’s adjustable, which means it can fit any head size, and it has a lock to keep the gag in place. The ball is silicone, so it doesn’t taste or smell, and you can comfortably sink your teeth into it.

Place it between the lips of your partner’s mouth and watch them drool with excitement.

Pros

  • Adjustable strap with lock
  • Comfortable to bite on
  • Made of cruelty-free leather

Cons

  • Ball may be too large for beginners
  • Does not have a breathing hole

My verdict

This big ball gag is a great beginner gag because it is adjustable and comfortable to bite down on. It’s safe to use, and the silicone ball will retain its shape and quality for a long time.

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. We love that the strap has the authentic look and feel of leather, but it is vegan.

Be sure to discuss non-verbal signals with your partner so that they know when to stop if you feel at any point that you have had enough.

Buy, if you...

  1. Want a ball gag to really bite down on
  2. Prefer an adjustable strap
  3. Want a gag that is easy and intuitive

Don't buy, if you...

  1. Have a small mouth
  2. Prefer less comfortable gags
  3. Haven't discussed non-verbal safety cues

A Closer Look at the Bondage Boutique Beginner’s Ball Gag

The Bondage Boutique Beginner’s Ball Gag is an ideal choice for those new to BDSM or interested in exploring gag play. It features a comfortable, smaller-sized silicone ball that fits easily in the mouth without causing too much discomfort or jaw aches. The gag is equipped with a soft, narrow nylon strap that is easy to adjust and fasten with the two D-rings. This way you can easily customize the fit and secure your sub. The design also allows for easy disassembly so you can pull the ball itself off of the strap, making cleaning and sanitizing a breeze. This ball gag is also extremely affordable! It’s a great entry-level option for beginners who want to try a ball gag without breaking the bank!

Pros

  • Small ball is more beginner-friendly
  • The D-ring fastener is easy to use
  • Nylon strap feel soft
  • Easy tp clean
  • Affordable

Cons

  • Not breathable
  • Straps can feel uncomfortable during longer sessions

My verdict

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. She found that the smaller ball size was perfect for avoiding any jaw discomfort, and the soft nylon strap felt gentle against her skin. The ease of use, especially 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!

Buy, if you...

  1. Are completely new to using ball gags
  2. Need something affordable but still good quality
  3. Want a ball gag that's easy to use

Don't buy, if you...

  1. Prefer something sturdier or lockable
  2. Would rather have leather straps
  3. Prefer a breathable ball gag

A Closer Look at the Fetish Fantasy Extreme Silicone O-Ring Gag

This O-ring gag allows for exciting oral pleasure as it is designed to stretch and open your submissive’s lips, leaving them entirely at your mercy.

We suggest this one for those with a little more gag experience, as the O-ring and leather straps can lead to some intense play. The open design makes it great for ball gag drool play, as you slip your fingers or the tip of your penis inside.

This medical-grade silicone gag doesn’t taste or smell of anything and fits comfortably against your gums and teeth. If you like the firmness of steel against your teeth, why not check out these spider gags?

 

Pros

  • No sharp or uncomfortable edges
  • Ring slips easily behind the teeth
  • Easy to clean
  • Silicone coating is comfortable for the teeth and gums
  • 100% waterproof
  • Can be sterilized
  • Silicone strap is flexible and adjustable
  • Suitable for beginners
  • Lockable

Cons

  • Might be uncomfortable in smaller mouths
  • Beginners may find the experience too intense
  • Can push the tongue down
  • Will not fit objects with a diameter over 1.5"

My verdict

This O-ring gag is high quality and crafted with care to ensure comfort for the wearer. The soft silicone doesn’t pinch or rub against your gums, though some users may find the straps uncomfortable after extended wear.

Some girthier penises or dildos, or whatever you want to use might struggle to fit all the way down to the base through the ring, but just the tip can still be quite an intense experience for both players.

 

Buy, if you...

  1. Are new to using o-ring gags
  2. Enjoy simultaneous constriction and penetration
  3. Want a gag with an adjustable strap
  4. like the idea of open mouth play
  5. love playing around with drool
  6. want to elevate your BDSM sessions

Don't buy, if you...

  1. Enjoy the full-mouth feeling of a ball
  2. prefer a classic ball gag style
  3. want something suitable to use with girthier penises

A Closer Look at the Sex and Mischief Amor Heart Ball Gag

The Sex and Mischief Amor Gag is a playful, beginner-friendly BDSM accessory featuring a cute heart-shaped silicone gag and adjustable faux leather straps. It’s designed for comfort and ease of use, catering to beginners and intermediate users who appreciate a more flirty and fun design in their accessories.

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
  • Straps could be too long for some users

My verdict

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. Its cute design sets it apart from more conventional gags, adding a touch of whimsy to your experience. However, if you’re looking for a more traditional, heavy-duty gag, or have a smaller head, this might not be the best fit for you.

Buy, if you...

  1. You're interested in trying a ball gag for the first time
  2. You appreciate a cute and fun design in BDSM accessories
  3. You prioritize comfort and breathability in a gag
  4. You're looking to explore submissive play further

Don't buy, if you...

  1. You're seeking a heavy-duty, more traditional gag
  2. You prefer real leather straps
  3. You have a very small head, which might not fit the straps

A Closer Look at the Bondage Boutique Medium Silicone Breathable Ball Gag

The Bondage Boutique Breathable Ball is ideal for intermediate gag players who would like to try a giant ball while still being able to breathe easy.

The spongy silicone ball fills the mouth for the sensation of restriction without discomfort. The strap can be adjusted to ensure a snug fit for heads of all shapes and sizes.

The ball has three bored breathing holes. Be ready for some messy humiliation fun, as the big ball almost guarantees that your sub will be drooling all over you.

Put the ball in boiling water for at least three minutes to clean it between play sessions.

 

Pros

  • Three holes for easy breathing
  • Oodourless and tasteless ball
  • Long, adjustable straps

Cons

  • May be too large for beginners

My verdict

Are you looking for a giant, breathable gag to bring some spice to your bedroom activities? Then we highly recommend the Bondage Boutique Breathable Ball Gag.

It’s an excellent quality, easy-to-use gag that will soon have your sub drooling all over you. If you’re entirely new to bondage play, then the size of this gag may seem a little overwhelming.

But if you’re ready to get more into kinky play, then what are you waiting for?

 

Buy, if you...

  1. Want to level up in ball gag size
  2. Are looking for a breathable gag
  3. Like an adjustable, buckle strap

Don't buy, if you...

  1. Prefer a smaller ball
  2. Like a more rigid ball for consensual pain play
  3. Prefer a strap that is easier to remove quickly

A Closer Look at the ''My Two Ways'' Dildo Mouth Gag

This dildo gag is perfect for beginners and advanced players alike! The penis shaped dildo is more deeply filling than a regular ball gag and is great for humiliation play. The larger size also makes for some really great ball gag drool play!

Both the dildo and the adjustable straps are made of medical-grade silicone for comfort and easy cleaning. The straps are secured with a buckle, and you can choose to add a padlock for those extra naughty submissives!

The dildo is reversible, meaning the submissive partner can also have the ball end in their mouth, while their dom rides the dildo!

 

Pros

  • Can be used as a ball gag or dildo gag
  • Silicone is comfortable to bite on
  • Size is not overwhelming
  • Can be used for face riding

Cons

  • Can be uncomfortable for extended use
  • Uncomfortable for a sensitive gag reflex
  • Tricky to get off quickly in an emergency

My verdict

This dildo gag is an excellent choice for anyone who already enjoys gags or is looking to try a dildo gag. The material of the ball, dildo, and straps is high-quality silicone, which is non-porous and super easy to clean!

One possible downside is the rigidity of the silicone, as some have said that it can jab them uncomfortably in the back of the throat, and they would prefer a more flexible dildo. If you love the idea of a dildo gag but this isn’t quite the one for you, check these other amazing dildo gags!

 

Buy, if you...

  1. Enjoy deep-throating
  2. Prefer vegan leather toys
  3. Like the realistic penis aesthetic
  4. Like a versatile toy
  5. Prefer a dildo gag to a ball gag

Don't buy, if you...

  1. Don't want to be penetrated by a dildo gag
  2. Have a sensitive gag reflex
  3. Prefer more flexible dildo gags

A Closer Look at the Fetish Fantasy Breathable Ball Gag Training System

This inexpensive training comes with three size levels of gag to feed your curiosity about BDSM and gagging without becoming overwhelmed in the beginning.

The breathable design helps your sub feel safe and secure while still enjoying the authentic experience of a full mouth gag. A benefit to getting a set is that you can start out with the smallest ball gag and work your way up to the biggest as you get more comfortable — great for sub training!

Be careful when cleaning your balls to make sure that you thoroughly clean out the holes because these gags will have you drooling all over yourself! The buckles can be fiddly in the heat of the moment, so make sure that you have established some non-verbal clue, like dropping a bunch of keys, so that your sub can escape if needed.

 

Pros

  • Different levels for beginners
  • Breathable balls for safety and comfort
  • Adjustable straps
  • Easy to switch balls

Cons

  • Plastic is quite brittle
  • Not as easy to clean as solid gags

My verdict

This set is perfect for beginners to ball gagging and intermediate players who’d like to mix up their playtime sessions. The breathability means that these balls can be kept in for extended periods without becoming overwhelming.

Some users have reported that they found the plastic too brittle and thin, so make sure not to bite down too hard on these balls! The straps are adjustable, but if you cannot get the perfect fit, we love that the balls can be strapped onto anything, like a silk scarf, or a velcro strap, so you can customize the look and feel.

Are you looking to take your playtime to another level? Check out these exciting breathable gags.

 

Buy, if you...

  1. Are looking for a breathable gag
  2. Want to try out different levels of gagging
  3. Prefer something hard to bite down on

Don't buy, if you...

  1. Already know the size ball that you want
  2. Don't like drooling on yourself
  3. Have a small head

A Closer Look at the Vondage Vegan Silicone Bit Gag

The Vondage Vegan Bit is used and loved by bondage beginners and experts alike. It is the perfect gag for those who have small mouths and feel overwhelmed by the fuller feeling of a ball gag.

The bit and buckled straps offer a secure sense of constriction, and there are multiple attachment points if you’d like to add chains, belts, a collar, or a leash.

The bit design makes this a great accessory for pet play and also makes talking slightly more manageable. Also, being vegan, this is perfect for animal lovers who like the aesthetic of leather.

 

Pros

  • Vegan leather adjustable straps
  • Multiple attachment points
  • Discreet enough to travel with

Cons

  • Less drooling than with ball gags
  • Straps don't detach for cleaning

My verdict

The bit gag is a great alternative to ball gags if you want to change things up or simply love the look of the bright pop of red in your lover’s mouth.

It is perfect for those with small mouths, and the adjustable straps have multiple attachments if you’d like to chain your sub to a wall, or attach a leash or collar.

It’s also a great price for a high-quality gag that’s hand-made in LA!

You need to take a little more care when cleaning this gag as the bit cannot be detached. The bit can be submerged in boiling water, but the leather straps should be wiped down with a damp cloth.

 

Buy, if you...

  1. Like to bite hard during BDSM play
  2. Have a small mouth
  3. Don't want to spend a long time cleaning
  4. Are looking for vegan-friendly toys
  5. Want to attach your gag to a collar or lead

Don't buy, if you...

  1. Prefer a full-mouth gag
  2. Are looking for a more rigid gag

A Closer Look at the Scandal Silicone Stopper O-Ring Gag by Calexotics

The Scandal Stopper O-Ring Mouth Gag is designed to give you the best of both ball gags and O-rings. The rigid silicone O-ring will keep your lips apart for the sensation of restraint that you crave, but is flexible enough to give you some wriggle room if your jaw starts to ache after extended use.

If your naughty sub’s moans become too loud, insert the stopper plug into the ring to shut them up immediately.

The silicone strap is soft and adjustable, though it may catch on your hair, so go slowly. It does not have any attachment points, so you may consider buying this toy in conjunction with a sexy sub collar.

Pros

  • Realistic and sexy black mouth gag
  • Versatile
  • Will keep your sub quiet
  • Choose between full gag and open mouth

Cons

  • Ring may be too small for girthier penises
  • Unusual buckle is tricky to remove
  • Strap sometimes catches your hair

My verdict

The lip-shaped O-ring on the Scandal Stopper Mouth Gag is the perfect mixture of dirty and sexy.

It’s designed with pleasure in mind, and we love that it can be used as a silencer gag and an O-ring gag. Some users have reported it being too small for those with larger penises to comfortably enjoy oral sex.

Another thing to be aware of is that this mouth gag is only breathable when the stopper is removed, so remember always to play safely and keep up communication with your partner throughout your play session.

 

Buy, if you...

  1. Want to experiment with an open mouth gag
  2. Are looking for a versatile toy
  3. Enjoy the humiliation of drooling
  4. Want a mouth gag for sissy play

Don't buy, if you...

  1. Have a small mouth
  2. Are new to using a mouth gag
  3. Don't enjoy simultaneous gagging and penetration

A Closer Look at the DOMINIX Deluxe Large Breathable Ball Gag with Nipple Clamps

If you’ve had some experience with bondage and BDSM play, you might be looking to get a little more adventurous in your risque play sessions with a BDSM gag.

The DOMINIX Deluxe Breathable Ball Gag with attached nipple clamps will send shockwaves of excitement running through your body!

This breathable gag gives restraint without sacrificing comfort– the silicone ball is soft and biteable while the adjustable nipple clamps provide an extra level of pleasure.

The chains are designed to tug pleasurably on your nipples when you move, creating thrilling sensations, especially during more energetic sex.

You can also use the O-rings on either side of the gag to attach your choice of restraints, chains, or a leash to customize your experience.

 

Pros

  • Comfortable for extended play
  • Nipple clamps for extra excitement
  • Attachment points for a collar or leash
  • Multiple holes for comfortable breathing
  • Adjustable clamps
  • Soft, medical-grade silicone ball gag
  • Lockable hook

Cons

  • Chain length might not suit all bodies
  • May be too intense for beginners
  • Chain is not detachable
  • Lock and key not included
  • Neck strap could be longer

My verdict

This ball gag with nipple clamps is excellent for those who want to be shut up completely and have their nipples pleasured simultaneously.

The chains attached to the nipple clamps may not suit all body shapes and sizes. Some users have also reported that the clamps are relatively gentle, so those looking for a more aggressive pinch may be slightly disappointed.

Also, it’s a bit annoying that the lock and key is not included, still like the thought of it though.

This bondage gag is easy to clean; simply submerge it in boiling water for three minutes, and be careful not to touch the metal rings when they are hot.

Buy, if you...

  1. Are looking for a multi-sensational experience
  2. Want a versatile, breathable gag
  3. Enjoy attaching chains or leads to your gag
  4. Want a more intense BDSM gag
  5. Are looking for a toy to feel submissive with

Don't buy, if you...

  1. Are a BDSM beginner
  2. Have a very small mouth
  3. Prefer a more rigid ball to bite on
  4. Have a fear of restraints or gags
  5. Don't enjoy drooling
  6. Are a complete newbie to BDSM

A Closer Look at the Lockable Pump Gag by Stockroom

Let your partner know that they should be seen and not heard during BDSM play with this high-quality inflatable gag.

The muffle, adjustable leather strap, and inflatable gag ensure that your sub feels the thrill of constriction while remaining comfortable and safe.

Find your perfect size by gradually pumping the bulb. This gag inflates up to 2.5″ in diameter, so your sub will have their mouth full!

They’ll be a whimpering, drooling puddle of pleasure once you’re through with them. The easy-to-use pump makes this toy perfect for safe advanced gag play.

 

Pros

  • Find your perfect gag size
  • Fills up your mouth completely
  • The buckles are lockable

Cons

  • Can be overwhelming for newbies
  • Muffler is relatively flimsy
  • Not many attachment points

My verdict

You may find it hard to resist this sexy inflatable gag. If you want something more advanced for BDSM or gag play, you’ve found the right toy.

Explore your limit by inflating the gag gradually or let your partner do it for some intense partner play. Make sure you can breathe easily through your nostrils because this gag makes mouth breathing tricky!

But don’t worry, you’ll find yourself uncontrollably drooling all over the place, much to your dom’s delight!

As with all gagging situations, establish clear ground rules and means of non-verbal communication with your partner before you begin.

A Closer Look at the Beginner Gag Ball by Tantus

The Tantus Beginner Ball Gag is the perfect gag for those keen to try BDSM play but are nervous about becoming overwhelmed.

The silicone is soft and comfortable to bite down on, and though it will undoubtedly have you drooling, you can easily breathe and moan around this smaller-sized ball.

The straps fasten behind your head with velcro, making this gag easy to remove quickly in an emergency. If the velcro is not your vibe, you can replace the straps with a buckle harness of your own.

Being able to remove the straps from the ball is also super handy for cleaning. Boil the ball for 3 minutes, and wipe down the straps with a damp cloth between each use.

 

Pros

  • Can remove quickly and easily
  • Ball is smaller-sized for beginners
  • Can change the straps

Cons

  • Gag can be pushed out by a frisky sub's tongue
  • Velcro sometimes pulls on your hair
  • Experienced users may enjoy a more rigid ball

My verdict

This ball is fantastic for beginners to BDSM, as it is quick to remove, comfortable to keep in your mouth for extended periods, and easy to clean.

While it doesn’t fall out easily, it is possible to push the gag aside with the tongue if your sub gets into a panic. The pacifier shape could make this gag a great prop if you’re into a bit of role-playing age play.

I also love that you can take the straps out and replace them with silk ribbon or leather and buckles- let your imagination run wild!

The ball is two inches long, so it should give a nice full feeling, but if you have a very sensitive ball gag, it may be better to use this gag sitting up, so it doesn’t push down too far for comfort.

Buy, if you...

  1. Are new to ball gags
  2. Prefer a more easily escapable velcro strap
  3. Like to bite down on soft silicone

Don't buy, if you...

  1. Don't like gags that make you drool
  2. Want buckles to secure your gag firmly
  3. Have a very sensitive gag reflex

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 gag

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!

What is a Ball Gag Used For?

During my research into ball gags, I couldn’t find a great deal of history on them, especially under sexual circumstances. But from what I did gather, ball gags started centuries ago as a means to keep a patient quiet and give them something to bite down on during surgical procedures.

Ball gags and other various types of gags have also been used for hundreds of years to humiliate and quiet someone held prisoner, tortured and beaten. Yikes.

Unfortunately, how they went from medical and torture devices to something used in sexual role playing is a mystery. But what we do know about what ball gags are used for is this: they are currently used to quiet a submissive partner during consensual sex. Sure, there is much more to it than that and we will get into the reasons in the next paragraphs.

But the key word here is consensual. So, let’s keep that word in the front of our brains as we dive further into the ball gag discussion.

Why Do People Use Ball Gags?

People today use ball gags as a part of sexual role playing, primarily during BDSM. They use them for various reasons which depend entirely on that person’s sexual desires.

According to Jessica Tucker, Professional Dominatrix and BDSM Writer at AlphaWolf ‘s Dungeon, ball gags serve several purposes in a BDSM relationship.

“People may wear gags for a variety of reasons. Some people derive erotic pleasure from a gag, either in a submissive or dominant role. When combined with other physical restraints, the wearing of a gag can increase the wearer’s sense of helplessness and anxiety level within a BDSM scene by rendering them unable to speak during sexual activity, which some people enjoy.”

She also points out that the wearing of a ball gag can be done as a means of punishment and control. In addition, some fetishists become sexually aroused by the sound of a partner being gagged and some enjoy the drooling that happens as the ball gag is worn for an extended period of time.

Ball Gags Aren’t Always About Sex

I can imagine your head is spinning right now, especially if this is your first time getting your toe wet in the world of dominant and submissive sex.

But don’t jump to the conclusion that wearing a ball gag or wanting a partner to do so is 100% about a sexual kink.

Because it’s not.

Further, you might be surprised to learn that many people who practice some aspects of BDSM, don’t have sex or become aroused at all.

Does that surprise you? It certainly surprised me when it was thrust into my face one night, many years ago.

During my many years selling sex toys directly to clients in a home party plan setting, I experienced some interesting things and I learned a great deal.

One night, I was setting up for a young lady’s 21st birthday bash (hosted by her mother). And as I tidied my selection of dildos, vibrators and sexual potions, there was a knock at the door.

I heard a man’s voice and my hostess screaming at him about where he parked, why he came to the front door and that he needed to start over.

She slammed the door and stormed through the house to the rear, where the kitchen was situated. I assumed it was an ex or some other man that had ticked her off.

I continued setting up my display until I was summoned to the kitchen.

I rounded the corner and my chin hit the floor.

There sat a huge man, sharply dressed, tied to a kitchen chair and staring at his lap.

My hostess took his chin between her forefinger and thumb, raised his face to hers and spat, “A lady has entered the room, you may speak to her.”

Just Call Me Mistress

I was addressed as “Mistress” from that moment on and it only grew more and more strange as the evening progressed. My hostess presented the gentleman to myself and the ladies whom had gathered for the party – he was dressed only in tiny, black bikini undies and a studded dog collar and crawled on all fours wherever he went.

The thing that still sticks with me today is the thump, thump, thump, thump sound his knees made against the wooden floor as he crawled from room to room.

His rear was target practice for a well-aimed fly swatter and he crawled around licking shoes, hanging onto ankles and even enjoying a snack from a dog bowl. At the end of the evening, the gentleman went about cleaning up the party, doing the dishes, dusting, mopping and removing the trash. He then wrote my hostess a check and left.

Unknown to me, my hostess was a part-time Dominatrix.

And, apparently, this towering hunk of a man was the CEO of a fortune 500 company and spent his days telling everyone what to do. He was the go-to decision maker for everything. And, in order to destress from his high-powered position, he let it all go – and I mean everything – including his power.

He derived satisfaction from being completely and totally submissive, helpless and overpowered.

And that’s when I got it.

I finally understood that the leather-clad, kinky people who liked being tied up, gagged and completely dominated didn’t always do it for sexual gratification, but to be able to release their domineering daily life or vice versa.

So, wearing a ball gag isn’t always a sexual thing. It’s a submissive act – a means to feel controlled or a way to control your partner. And, as long as it’s done in a safe, loving and consensual environment, wearing a ball gag can be satisfying in many ways

Are Ball Gags a Perversion?

Thank you, Fifty Shades of Gray!

If you have seen the movie or read the series of books, then you already know that ball gags are not a sexual perversion.

On the other hand, to the vanilla sex crowd, the opposite could be said. But, here on this blog I don’t judge and feel that anything sexual a person does with a loving partner and in a consensual manner is a beautiful thing.

Yes, it may be considered a little kinky or even a fetish. However, ball gags and the use of ball gags between consenting adults is in no way a perversion.

Do I Have to be Into BDSM to Use a Ball Gag?

Absolutely not! Just because you try a ball gag, or even enjoy using one doesn’t mean a Dominatrix will show up at your front door, snap a whip at your feet, crown you a leather-daddy and ask for $150 in BDSM membership fees. It means you simply enjoy a little excitement and diversity when it comes to sex.

Why Do Submissive Partners Like Ball Gags?

Aside from personal preference, the feeling of being helpless and out of control, there is a neurological reason some submissive partners may like using ball gags.

According to one scientific study, using a ball gag actual lowers the wearer’s empathic response to pain.

During the study, submissive BDSM females were shown a series of photographs depicting pain.

While wearing a ball gag, the subjects showed a lower empathetic response to the most painful photos and a higher response when the gags were removed.

The scientists concluded that this was due to the fact that the ball gag restricted facial movements.

Further, the actual ability to react to painful-looking photos relied greatly on the subject’s ability to move their face in response to each photo.

Therefore, during BDSM play, especially play that involves painful stimuli, wearing a ball gag lessens actual pain and possibly increases sexual pleasure.

So, this may be the reason some submissive individuals like wearing ball gags.

What's the Appeal of Ball Gags?

BDSM, particularly ball gags, are appealing to different people for various reasons, both sexual and non-sexual. Perhaps it’s all about the looks or about self-expression? Whatever the case, it is essential that you and your playmate are on the same page about your intentions and desires before you begin. Among many reasons, people enjoy gagging for the:

Playtime is often the time when people feel they can express parts of themselves that perhaps they don’t like to reveal in other areas of their lives. Among other things, this self-expression can look like asserting power, sharing vulnerability, or surrendering to humiliation. Perhaps someone with a high-stress job who has to make weighty decisions all day likes to surrender control and be gagged, so that they can relax and give up control for a while. Consensual gagging can create an intimate space where you can shed your insecurities.

No matter your taste, there’s a gag out there that’s just your style. For some, there is nothing sexier than seeing their lover drooling and panting against their bindings of sleek black leather and studs (or whatever your fantasy may be), completely powerless and ready for their master.

How to be Safe While Using a Ball Gag

A gag is any sex toy, commonly used by those engaging in BDSM sex play, that’s placed inside the wearer’s mouth to prevent them from speaking properly. A ball gag may cause the wearer to drool uncontrollably and prevent them from speaking, but they can still make indiscernible noises like moans and grunts.

Having something restrict the mouth will always have some element of risk because it partially restricts breathing. Plus, because the submissive wearing the ball gag cannot speak clearly, it is essential for safety and comfort that you and your partner establish some rules and boundaries before you begin.

Here are some important safety guidelines to read before using a ball gag to ensure the safety of everyone involved.

 

Consent and boundaries

Consent and boundaries

Consent and boundaries

The most important part of any BDSM play is mutual consent. Consent must always be freely given and enthusiastic.

Before experimenting with a ball gag, discuss what sexual activities you will both be comfortable with and share with each other your expectations and desires. Agree on a maximum time limit to use the gag. If you’re just starting out, ten to fifteen minutes is a good amount of time and you can see if you’d like to change anything the next time around. Try the ball gag in your mouth before strapping it on, to ensure that you will be comfortable and feel secure during playtime.

 

Agree on Your Safety 'Stop' Signal

When gagged, it is difficult, if not impossible, to speak to your partner and communicate your needs clearly. So, it is important to choose a safe signal before playtime so you can tell your partner to stop or ease up without words. Here are some options:

  • A hand gesture
  • Three hard prods on the back
  • Squeezing a squeaky toy,
  • Dropping a heavy bunch of keys.

If the gagged partner is tied up and can’t use their hands, they could aggressively shake their head while grunting or blink their eyes repeatedly.

 

Avoid Wearing a Gag if Your Nose is Blocked

When wearing a ball gag, it is impossible to breathe through your mouth, so you must be able to breathe easily through both nostrils. Don’t use a gag if you have a cold, sinus infection, hay fever, or any other condition that makes it difficult to breathe through your nose.

 

Never Leave a Bound or Gagged Sub Alone

It may not be possible for the wearer to remove their gag on their own if you’re using other restraints, or if they get into a panic. So, it’s crucial that you never leave your gagged partner alone so they always have someone to remove the gag when needed.

To prevent the spread of bacteria, be sure to wash your ball gag after each use. Warm, soapy water works for most gags, but be sure to check the instructions on any gag that you  purchase. Disinfect your silicone ball gag by immersing it in boiling water, taking care not to dip any leather straps.

 

How Can I Use a Safe Word When Wearing a Ball Gag?

Safe words are so important when it comes to using a ball gag or enjoying any other type of BDSM play.

Since submission and pain usually go hand-in-hand with this sort of sexual exploration, signals can easily get mixed and, “Stop!” may really mean stop. Therefore, it’s important to find a word that doesn’t exactly fit with what’s going on, like pumpernickel or Abercrombie.

Kangaroo will work.

Or, maybe a word that means something to the two of you like pickles or Armageddon.

But this whole safe word thing got me thinking…. If I am using a ball gag, I won’t be able to actually articulate words, then what do I do if I can’t breathe or my jaw is aching so bad, I may never eat again?

According to the folks with experience in BDSM and ball gags in particular, there are ways to signal your partner to cease and desist so you can take a break. The first suggestion is to hold a handkerchief or ribbon in your hand that you can wave or drop if you’re in distress. Also, you could use a dog’s squeaky toy to alert your partner that it’s time for a break.

And again, my brain wandered and I pondered how to do those things if gagged, bound and lying on my back. Thank goodness, I was able to find these suggestions:

  • Blink in a predetermined pattern.
  • Nod your head or shake it from side-to-side.
  • Hum a certain tune like, “Happy Birthday.”
  • Tap on the headboard or floor using fingers, hands, elbows or feet.

Finally, whomever is playing the dominant role in your sexual scenario does bare some of the responsibility.

You must know your lover’s cues, their body movements and reactions.

That way, you’ll be able to recognize if your partner is in distress and having a difficult time. Again, when using a ball gag, it’s all about consent, trust and feeling safe with your partner.

What is BDSM?

BDSM is an umbrella term that refers to bondage and discipline, domination and submission, sadism and masochism.
In some cases, BDSM doesn’t have to involve sex at all – the aesthetics and connotations of some acts, props, and roles are more of a turn-on than the act of sex. If you are keen to explore the wild and wonderful world of BDSM, the first things you need to think about before getting started are safety and consent. If your partner changes their mind and says “stop” at any time, you should thank them for their open and honest communication and stop all activity until the issue has been resolved.

 

Where do Ball Gags Come From?

Ball gags were created for people or animals to bite down on during surgery without anaesthesia. Being able to clench your teeth around something solid allows you to endure a higher level of pain and keeps you from crying out. Soon, people realised that ball gags would make an excellent accompaniment to BDSM for the same reasons and that they look super sexy, too!

FAQ

What does a ball gag do?
Ball gags silence the wearer and give them something to bite down on during BDSM play. Some people love the feeling of constriction, and others simply love their aesthetic.
What can you do about gag reflex?
You can reduce or eliminate your gag reflex by gradually getting your soft palate used to being touched. You could use a toothbrush to brush your tongue until you reach the area that makes you feel like you might gag. Try to increase the area you brush each time.
If I'm a beginner, can I use a big ball gag?
Yes! Just listen to your body. There are substantial ball gags that are ideal for newbies like you. Don't forget to ask questions at your nearest adult store about sizes, breathing holes, and other features to make sure.
Can I use other BDSM toys while I'm gagged?
Why not? Make BDSM play more enjoyable by pairing your ball gag with restraints, blindfolds, leg spreaders, nipple suckers, clamps, and vibrators.
How long can I use a ball gag for?
Start with just ten or fifteen minutes your first time trying a gag, and see how you go from there. Always agree on a maximum time with your partner before play, and ensure that you have a good stop signal if you need to get that gag out early.
How do I put on a ball gag?
Simple! First you need to open your mouth and put the ball gag in, making sure the straps are positioned to the sides. Then take those straps and secure them around the back of your head. Make sure it's not too tight or too loose!

What is a Ball Gag?

A gag is a device used in sexual bondage and BDSM roleplay. Gags are usually associated with roleplays involving bondage, but that is not necessarily the case. Ball gags are placed inside the wearer's mouth to prevent them from speaking normally and give them something to bite down on in case of pain. A ball gag may cause the wearer to drool uncontrollably and prevent them from speaking, but they can still make indiscernible noises like moans and grunts.
