This a bit style gag. It's only really useful as a gag, but it is a nice alternative to those that don't like ball gags. It's also an important start to a pony play collection.

This can be for just about anyone. I recommend bits over gags to most beginners because they are a little less restrictive, but we picked this up because my dominant loves pony play, and I wouldn't call us beginners. It's just a matter if this item fits your style or not.

This is made from metal, rubber, and leather.

The metal hardware is all very solid and sturdy. The rings on the sides are rather large with a 3" diameter. The clasp on the back has a loop to put a small lock through if that's your thing. The only other hardward is the rivets which also feel really sturdy.

The bit itself is made from a very solid chunk of rubber. It flexes, but it takes a lot of pressure to do so. It is 2 5/8" in circumference and 6.5" long with 4" of that being the flat part that goes in the mouth. The holes in the rubber that sit on the rings are reinforced with metal. There are two large seams in the rubber, but they didn't bother me during use. Normally rubber has a really strong smell, but this one isn't that bad. There is a smell, but you have to hold it right under your nose to detect it at all.

The leather is alright. It's pretty thick and sturdy but a tad rough. Not as rough as other items I have purchased though. A little leather conditioner will soften it.

The gag is adjustable to fit a range of sizes. Specifically about 17" - 22" around. That's a really generous size range in my opinion.

I was actually pleasantly surprised with this. I was expecting a lot less out of this than I received. It holds up very well to our rough play style. The bit doesn't show my teeth marks as well. It's a product that I am very happy with.
