This is a fantastic ball gag for beginners or anyone with issues breathing through their nose. The gag is a silicone ball with three holes drilled through the middle for easy breathing while you're wearing it.

The strap used to buckle it into place around your head is also made from soft silicone and feels surprisingly comfortable against your face. The buckle is also a locking buckle so you can fit a small padlock into it for harder fetish play. Obviously you should practice caution when using gags at all, but especially if you take the extra steps to lock it. It's breathable but it's always good to have a plan to get out of your gag as quickly as possible.

This is just a lovely ball gag. The silicone ball is soft and has a slight give to it, but it's still very firm. You can squish down a little bit with your teeth but that's about it. The ball is about the size of a ping pong ball and has three holes drilled in a row through the middle of the ball. Since it's silicone, the holes drilled into the ball have nice soft edges and there's nothing that could scratch up your mouth or face anywhere on the gag.

The straps to secure the gag around your head are also made from a high quality silicone. The straps are soft and smooth aside from a little texture in the form of small bumps along the lining of the outside of the straps for a little decoration.

The breathing holes also work fantastically and do exactly what they're supposed to. With the ball stuffed into your mouth and your lips closed around it you can still breathe through the holes. It kind of feels a bit like breathing through a couple straws but as long as you take deep, slow breaths it's easy to breathe and stay calm. You can also open your lips and kind of bear your teeth and that allows you to breathe around the top and sides of the ball. You can take deep breaths a little faster that way.

The straps are adjustable with ten holes in the strap. It's easy to either give it a nice, snug fit or to let it hang a little looser on the person wearing it.

The buckle has a spot for a small padlock if you like to lock up your partner during kinky play. You won't be able to fit more than a cheap diary type lock into the buckle but it's enough to really give it a power exchange feel still.

I'm extremely happy with this gag. I've tried a couple different kinds of breathable gags and this is probably the best one I've used. Several of the balls I've tried have had jagged edges around the holes drilled into it. But the silicone makes the edges of these holes completely smooth.

The straps are also very comfortable. I thought the silicone might feel unpleasant but it's soft, cool, and actually comfortable to wear. I haven't tried locking it yet because things like that cause me to panic but I have had it buckled up and it fits nicely and doesn't pull on my hair.

If you're looking for something to stop noise though, this gag isn't that. The holes make it a little easier to be vocal in the sense that moans and things like that are much louder than they would be with a solid ball gag. However for someone like me with sinus issues, it's perfect. I can't really breathe through my nose at all so I need to breathe through my mouth. I've always loved the look of ball gags and it's nice to have a high quality gag that I can still breathe while wearing.

You can keep this gag clean with a little warm water and mild soap or a toy cleaning wipe. Remember that it's going into your mouth though so rinse it well! You can keep it stored in a drawer or something like that pretty easily. It's not discreet in the least though so keep that in mind when finding a place to hide it.
