A staple of BDSM, a ball gag is a must-have for anyone looking to explore their kink and experienced kinksters alike! This is a standard silicone ball gag and is much better quality than the picture here would imply. I would definitely recommend this product to anyone kinky; It is well constructed, the leather is wonderfully crafted, and the silicone ball is easier on the jaw than other plastics.

Like with any type of BDSM gear, please make yourself aware of safety risks. If you have a hard time breathing through your nose, you may want to consider a breathable gag instead.

The leather on this product is what surprised me the most. Many leather-strapped gags pose the problem of being really stiff and cutting into my cheeks (especially since I like my gags tight), but this one was soft and supple. I did have a little trouble with the straps chafing at the corners of my mouth, however. Since ball gags cause a lot of drool and moisture and I have sensitive skin, the corners of my mouth were rubbed a little raw, but I feel like if we had loosened the strap a bit, it wouldn't have been a problem.

I found the ball to be a little large, but it still fit my mouth comfortably. Silicone has some give, and you can bite down on it a bunch, and it won't shred like rubber or hurt your teeth like other plastics, but my jaw began to ache sooner than I would have liked. The straps were a little too long, and I had to punch an extra hole to fit my head and the tightness I like, so if you are very small this gag might be a little too big.

It's important to note that ball-gags are meant to impair speech, not silence it, and this product did exactly that. I felt great aside from the previously mentioned issues and has found a home in my toy bag of essentials. It'll without a doubt hold up to long-term use, and I expect it to do me good. If you're considering buying this gag, be prepared for a lot of drool and fun times.
