I'd always wanted a ball gag, but was always very nervous about it. I was so excited to find that there were breathable ball gags! I ordered this ball gag immediately, and couldn't wait for it to arrive! Upon receiving it, I immediately tore it out of it's packaging, and had my roommate strap it on me. Both the ball and the strap were comfortable to wear.

Right off the bat, I noticed that the ball had somewhat of a smell. It wasn't unexpected, most new toys I get smell like whatever material they're made of. After a few uses and washes, and smell became more faint. If the smell really bothers you, you might not do so well with it being in your mouth, under your nose. I wash the ball with mild soap and water, frequently rinsing it since I can't clean the inside directly. I wash the straps with a damp cloth, as it's a sort of velvety-surfaced material.

As a beginner's ball gag, this one is nice. I should have opted for something a bit more sturdy. When I put it on, I can get it deep enough to get past my front teeth just fine, but I'm a biter. So, throughout intercourse, I naturally kind of work it forward in my mouth a bit so I can bite on it, and when I do, the ball caves in very easily. I know it's a gag not a bit, so that's my fault for trying to bite it. When I stop biting the ball, it stays collapsed for several seconds, which causes it to fall out, leaving it dangling around my neck.

This is nice to get sort of the feel for what it's like to wear a ball gag, but it would do well to be sturdier. I'd consider buying another, stronger, breathable ball gag, but with my experiences using this one, I think I'll switch over to bits.
