This is your very basic ball gag. It's perfect for first timers who aren't sure if they will be into gagging and do not want to commit to an expensive gag. I have also known people to purchase it for bachelor/bachelorette parties, to keep the guest of honor quiet. That being said, the quality of the product shows in its price. Cheap gag, cheaply make.

The strap hurt the back of my head. Maybe if I had a protective layer of hair, it wouldn't have been so bad. It sort of felt like a weird stinging. Maybe it was just too tight. Double straps might help with that feeling (Hint hint makers!). The ball itself was a decent size, but it's made of the same type of rubber that you will remember from elementary school gym class. I also found that it was very easy to bite through, and that leaves marks, which bothered me. Also, if you have pets, take extra care to keep it away from them, as they may want to play ball with you (or worse, choke on pieces). I also found that for the size of my mouth, I was able to easily spit it out with a bit of tongue action which didn't make for a very happy husband. It was very simple to clean, though. I used just a washcloth. There are no places for dirt or saliva to get trapped, unlike some of the other gags.

After time, I began to notice the part/side of the ball that I held in my mouth began to change color. It went from the normal red color to a discolored pinkish/white. That is when I decided to stop using it, for fear I was ingesting whatever dyes were in the product. Not sure if that was actually the case, but I thought it was scary enough to stop.
