If you've never used a gag before, I wouldn't suggest starting out with this one. If you're looking for some extra fun with pony play type activities, have a thing for drooling, or just want to try something different than the regular old ball gag, then you just might be onto something here. To my BDSM buddies, pay attention.

I like everything about the way this guy is designed. I've put him through hell and back and he has held up well so far. The part of the rubber bar that fits in your mouth is 4 inches long with a 2.5 inch circumference. It's attached to two 3 inch metal rings at both sides that move back and forth (helps to fit snugly around the face) and attach to the leather strap which can be adjusted from about 17 inches - 22 inches.

I was really happy with the fact that with this buckle you have the option of adding a lock. On the other hand, a disappointment was the major smell and taste of rubber. As soon as I have a gag in my mouth, I begin to drool and this type of gag seems to make me drool that much more. I'm not sure if it's just me or the design of the gag.

You can also attach other objects to the metal rings on the side of the gag, which can be fun. Word of warning, however, if you begin to get a little on the rougher side and start pulling and snatching on the metal rings, you might find yourself with some lip caught between the bite bar and teeth. This is painful.

I am really impressed with how well this guy has held up to what I've put him through so far. Not only does he work well as a gag, but he *looks* good on the face. It's a great addition to anyone who enjoys taking pictures. He also looks great with a blindfold.

I've used a little bit of antibacterial soap and warm water on a cloth to clean the leather straps and the gag. I'm the only one who uses it, but I've gotten some m.a.c. red lipstick on it that will just NOT come off despite the many times I've cleaned it. I'm not sure if it's the lipstick (that kind is so hard to get off!) or the rubber bite bar. I would like to figure out a way to get it off though.

EDIT: Baby oil got this lipstick off with a little bit of scrubbing! Great tip because I tend to get my lipstick on tons of toys.

This gag might be a bit intimidating to some. I wouldn't suggest trying it out on someone new to gags.
