Let's start off with the packaging. This item came in a nondescript cardboard box. It was in a plastic bag inside. Got here safely and efficiently.

The leather straps on this gag are actually very sturdy and feel great! The lock is a little flimsy but does the trick. I didn't even know it locked until I got it in my hands and saw that on there! It's a very cool feature. The bone is red, made of body-safe silicone. No weird smells or bad taste. Fits great in the mouth as well. I didn't have any issues with it hurting my teeth despite the hard biting down on it.

This gag has adjustable straps which will fit many different head sizes, the bone feature instead of a ball is wonderful. It doesn't hurt the jaw near as much as you don't have to keep your mouth open as far. It feels much more like a bit gag in that aspect.

To clean this item I would suggest just soap and warm water, let it dry completely before putting it away. I wouldn't wash the leather straps though.

It has a soft squishy feel, while still having a great stiffness to it as well. The bone is such a cute addition to pet play too if that is your thing! Just imagine being a pup, and your owner tosses you the bone, and before you know it... It's stuck in your mouth! Seems like a lot of fun to me.

I wish it came in different colors though as well. That's really the only downfall I can think of. Red is nice of course but would love it to come in pastels as well.

I would definitely recommend this gag to anyone from beginners to advanced users. This is a great starter I would say for new players to gags. Like I said before it doesn't hurt the jaw to use but still gives you the great feeling of not being able to speak!
