What BDSM Gag Should I Buy?

What sort of Gag should I buy for BDSM?

This is a question we're often asked, since, after experimenting with a bit of bondage, kinksters want to expand their BDSM play. As there are many types, here's a guide to choosing what is the best gag for you (links open in new pages).

What are the different types of gag?

Soft Rubber Ball Gag

The aim of this style is to fill the mouth which makes it difficult for the wearer to speak (at least coherently!)

Our design is, we think, better than many, because, unlike most of the ones you see on sale, this ball is made from a soft rubber shell with a foam inner. That means that it expands to fill the mouth, but also allows the wearer to close their jaw to stop it from getting uncomfortable, plus the design lets them swallow, so they don't end up with a mouthful of saliva.

It has a soft leather section that goes through the ball to a D Ring each side of the mouth and then fastens at the back of the head with a leather strap.

We also sell a Head Harness Red or Black Ball Gag which has a strap that buckles under the chin as well as two straps that go from the sides of the mouth and meet an over-head strap middle of the forehead. This prevents the wearer from spitting the gag out, as the straps just pull it back in place.

Breather Ball Gag

Some users feel that a soft rubber ball is not for them because they want to be able to breathe freely through their mouths. The Breathable Ball Gag (sometimes known as a Wiffle Ball Gag) has air holes through it. This also, of course, tends to make the wearer to dribble all over the place in a humiliating manner!

This type is also available in the Head Harness Breather Ball Gag style.

Bit Gag

Made from a sturdy hollow rubber tube these are suitable for wearers who want to be able to bite down or chew on their gag, which would not be possible with others, as they would be damaged by doing this.

Of course if you want to engage in Human Pony Play, they are ideal for this sort of activity, especially the Pony Bit Gag with Large Rings or the Pony Play Bridle Bit Gag

Combined Ball-Bit Gag

If you have a subject who likes a Ball Gag, but also something to bite on, this combines the rubber bit with the soft mouth-filing rubber ball from our Ball Gag. It is secured at the back with a leather strap.

Whitehead and Jennings Dental Gags

If you are interested in (consensual) "forced" oral sex or even human ashtray or golden wine play, this comprises PVC coated metal bars on a leather strap which holds the mouth open and preventing the wearer from being able to close it.

The dental gags have a pair of narrow, PVC covered horizontal metal bars that are hinged at the side. They run across the mouth and have a ratchet to keep them from closing.

The Jennings Dental Gag has a single ratchet on one side whilst the Whitehead Dental Gag has a pair of ratchets at the sides of the mouth. They also have a buckle-adjustable leather strap to keep the gag in place.

Penis Gag with dildo

As the name suggests, the Penis Gag with Dildo has a phallic shaped fitting which is made from silicone rubber and when it is secured with the leather strap, the wearer has to suck on the rubber cock or pecker in a humiliating manner.

Naturally, the wearer can be made to penetrate their partner using the dildo or a Dominant woman can ride the dildo for her enjoyment whilst sitting on her slave's face.

So which BDSM gag should I buy?

What you need to think is "What do you want a gag to do?" If your aim is to restrict the speech of the wearer or "silence" them your best choice is probably one of the basic Ball Gag, Ball-Bit Gag or Penis Gag.

To keep someone's mouth open, for example for Golden Wine, Human Ashtray or "forced" oral sex, then the Ring Gag or Dental Gag would be the best choice.

If you want to give your subject something to get their teeth into, the Bit-style Gag (or, if you prefer) the Combined Ball-Bit Gag would be the best one to choose.

Please remember, whatever gag you might choose to buy and use in your BDSM play, you should always bear in mind that you should monitor the user to make sure the gag is interfering with their ability to breathe freely.
