Mouth Gags by Mydarkshop

The most straightforward question is, "What is a ball gag?" A ball gag is a ball, usually made of rubber or silicone, that is attached to a scarf or strap. A ball gag is placed in the mouth, behind the teeth, then secured behind the head either by tying or a buckle. A ball gag has its place in sex play for some people, and for others, not so much. However, if you're curious about what ball gags are used for and why you've wandered into them, you are at the right place. Any gag is meant to restrict someone's ability to make noise correctly. BDSM practitioners enjoy using ball gags since they help to create a complete spectrum sense of dominance or submission.

Ball gags started centuries ago to keep patients quiet and give them something to bite down on during surgical procedures. Ball gags and other various gags have also been used for hundreds of years to humiliate and quiet someone held prisoner, tortured, and beaten. Surprisingly, how they went from medical and torture devices to something used in sexual role-playing is a mystery. But what we do know about what ball gags are used for is this: they are currently used to quiet a submissive partner during consensual sex. 

Types of ball gags:

Beginner Ball Gag: These gag balls are probably the best ball gag out there for those just getting started. It's incredibly inexpensive, with a lot of comfort features added in. The straps are made from a soft nylon material secured by a belt threaded through two metal hoops. This nylon material is plush while still being able to stay relatively taut. It has enough give to settle in comfortably after a bit of use.

Large Silicone Ball Gag: How will you feel if you haven't seen any stereotypical 'Red' large balls, it doesn't correct, Right? The gag is modestly sized at 1.75" in diameter while making 100% body-safe silicone that's nonporous to boot. It's not highly squishy but a lot more comfortable to apply a bit of bite force than hard plastic. The straps are made from faux leather, meaning there's little worry about getting it wet or the leather drying out after a while. It can be securely fastened belt style, but what impresses me are the two straps connecting the ball to the back end of the toy. It makes it much more comfortable for the ball to be seated in a much more comfortable position for long-term play.

Deluxe Leather Ball Gag:  the gag is something you're searching for instead of trying to avoid. In that case, this leather bit gag should fit the bill nicely. All parts of the gag except the metal fasteners are made from leather, but the gag is a long piece of leather meant to be tightly grasped by the teeth. The straps are fastened by choosing which hole you'll put the little stick of metal through.

The Mouth Ball Gag: The straps and the mouth covering are made from leather, although the ball is silicone. Once properly buckled, there's no opportunity for much else besides some peace & quiet. The ball isn't just haphazardly tacked onto the face portion either, it is connected with a strap of its own, so there's enough movement not to have it interfere with the teeth while in use. It's pretty, and it's functional. It's there to ensure no unwanted noise seeps through, unlike other gags with a ball of this size. 

Fetish Fantasy Ball Gag: These options are perfect for people who want to slowly move up in size without buying a handful of different options. Measurements for the balls are 1.5'', 1.75'', and 2'' in diameter. Each ball can be removed by unbuckling the strap, removing the ball, then placing a new one in its place. Each ball is silicone with breathing holes to cement it as a good choice for comfort training. The wearer will be able to have a bit of leeway when it comes to biting down while also being able to breathe fairly normally.

It's not always easy to figure out which will be best for you of all the ball gags out there. There is always a right ball for the right level. All you need to do is start from your level. In BDSM, don't rush things. So if you want to include a ball gag into your current sexual war chest, one thing you'll have to remember immediately: 

Level of Experience:

BEGINNER – should have more petite balls, easily adjusted, made from a softer material like silicone, and be more comfortable – without opening the mouth or jaw too much.

INTERMEDIATE – the gag pieces get bigger, materials are more complex or more durable for long periods of play with a buckle instead of a slip fastener – jaws will open a little more and give more "muffle."

ADVANCED – the mouth bits are made from more rigid materials like metal or leather and have a buckle or a lock – the mouth bits are oversized for a maximum opening of the mouth and the most muffle.

Here are a few tips for safe play: 

• When you buy the ball for your partner, make sure that it's made from a material they'll be satisfied with within their mouth, like body-safe silicone & that they won't have to worry about how each strap rests on their face. 
• 
  
• Finding a safe gesture since using a safe word will be entirely out of the question. Depending on the rest of your bondage authority, it might best be a two-hand or one-hand gesture if they're sufficiently restrained.
• 
  
• Understand how any given ball will rest within the oral area and whether it will disturb the teeth. Some straps have metal bits that extend a tad too far forward, which some say puts undue stress on the area.
