First, I would like to say that this ball gag is a great beginner gag for those that are not sure how big their mouth is or just want to get something to help them with that terrible TMJ that they have. For me I have TMJ, and this ball gag was very effective for helping. I had not only had gotten this toy for that reason, but for the reason that I'm into moderate bondage play. Never having a ball gag before, I was very surprise to know that this little ball worked very well, although I would highly recommend that you do use the slider that it comes with it. I have tried to tied it behind my head with no luck at all because the stings are not long enough. I gave up and only use the slider.

After a while, the ball gag does make you drool, and make the ball a little bit slippery; it may make the wearer feel like it's a little loose. With me, it did become a little loose, and I tightened it up to make it fit better. This toy does cause chaffing and the corners of the mouth may be sore for a couple of days after use.

I purchased the black ball. When I first got the ball gag, I was very nervous about using it. The ball of the gag looks big, but I surprised myself that I was able to fit it in my mouth very securely. The ball, although, doesn't really look black. It's more of a navy blue. It's very squishy and, if for any reason you bite down on the ball after you slobber all over it, you can feel bubbles. After a while, the black does fade a little bit.

Cleaning this ball gag is a breeze and it's completely waterproof. I use toy cleaner wipes and it is very easily washed with soap and water. It doesn't come with a storage bag, but buying one or just using a zip lock bag works just as fine. I would really recommend this ball gag for any beginners.
