This toy is a great addition to any gag-lover's (or gag lover's lover's)toy bag. This gag is guaranteed to titillate and tease the senses of the "other party" involved, If your partner is into gags, they will appreciate this accessory. The large ball splits the lips and keeps them taut and the strap is somewhat adjustable via pegs and holes in the leather to make it easier to get just the right amount of tension to keep the ball snugly lodged in the mouth.

Due to the diameter of the toy, I would suggest that it be best for males or females with a large mouth, but it depends on how tight you like your gags. Ive found most gag enthusiast that I have run into prefer them to run tight, but there is a fine line between "that's sexy" and "I'm sorry you got TMJ." Also because of the diameter of the toy and the ability (and near necessity) to lock it on, I would strongly suggest practicing SSC (safe, sane, and consensual)and not wearing this while alone, whether totally or even momentarily while the other party is temporarily out of the room for, say, a bathroom break.

I would suggest it definitely for the more advanced users out there. You will appreciate the craftsmanship and durability of this product. Newbies might appreciate this toy too, depending on individual preferences, but may be thrown off by price and size of product.

I fell in love with this toy soon after I bought it and took it for a supervised test drive. The leather straps are supple and comfortable against the mouth and jaw. The leather has eight or so punches in the back for the bar to slide through, making this toy super adjustable and able to fit most people. It is lockable, which is one, really freaking hot and exciting as a control aspect, but also helps make the design even more sturdy. It comes with metal snaps in the front near the ball end to help facilitate easy removal of the ball in an emergency.

The silicone ball is 1 3/4" inches. I have no idea what the average diameter of a woman's mouth is, but I can tell you mine is personally 1 1/2". This leads for a tight fit of the gag, almost uncomfortably so, but I don't find it a detractor. If I had went with the next smallest size down, I'd have been stuck with a gag the same size as my mouth, which, while probably more comfortable, isn't as aesthetically pleasing, nor as functional. If the ball isn't blocking the orifice, there isn't much muffling going on. As someone with an oral fixation, I enjoy the fullness of this gag. I just make sure that if I haven't worn it in awhile, that I stretch my mouth before and after. I also limit the time I wear it until my mouth 'gets back in shape' again.

Also, one last awesome design feature-it's silicone, which is great for hygiene, as you can just pop the thing in the top rack of the dishwasher for sterilization. Silicone is a godsend in the sense that silicone gags do not have that horribly noxious taste that other materials can carry, rendering a gag from "Mmmm" to "ick." I've also never known a silicone toy to go toxic.

I've had my gag over five years with no issues of wear and tear nor toxicity.

I have had no complaints with the workings or mechanics of this toy. The locks, while of the 'novelty' variety, have never failed me, and if someone was really concerned they could purchase a small luggage lock and use it in the stead of the lock that comes with the toy. The buckles and snaps have never broken nor rusted. The leather and silicone have retained their integrity, with no cracks or fraying.

The only real performance issues I've encountered while using this toy have nothing to do with the toy itself and everything to do with me. As the gag itself is large compared to my personal anatomy, if I am super tired, my jaw is tired, or I have a headache, I can only tolerate so much time with the gag in.

As stated above, I have owned this particular toy for five years. Some users may complain about the seemingly steep price (as compared to other gags) but I would say it was worth it, quite literally, five times over. I could have bought five cheap $10 plastic gags that would probably, with any sort of repeated use, not hold up for an entire year for the price I paid for this one gag.

Store anywhere leather friendly (a cool, dry place.) The gag may get dusty, in which case, a run through the dishwasher in the top rack is an easy fix. This is also the recommended way to clean after use, but you could theoretically just run hot water over it.

An absolute favorite of mine!

I once wore this gag for 2 hours at a play party, drooling on my self in embarrassment the entire time. This gag gets rave reviews every time I wear it.
