I have been into bondage for quite sometime now and one of the first bondage items I had to buy was a mouth gag.
Being a novice at the time I was unsure on what mouth gag would be most appropriate for me. Did I want a small or large one? Silicone or plastic? Ventilated or non-ventilated? I had many questions I needed answers too.
After much searching and deliberating I came across a mouth gag on Lovehoney.co.uk which looked the most suited to me.
Description
Being just less than 6 inches in circumference, the ball is made of PVC and has ventilation holes in making it easier for the wearer to breathe. The straps to the Bondage boutique breathable ball gag are made of leather and have an adjustable fastening (between 17 to 23 inches) to make it fit more comfortable around the wearers head. Both straps have a metal O ring and a metal buckle. It is designed for beginners but can also be used by those more advanced in BDSM.
How to use
Bondage Boutiques breathable ball gag is really easy to use, just place the ball in you’re mouth and fasten the buckle behind you’re head until it fits firmly in place (never fit the buckle too tightly that it feels uncomfortable, even though it is for BDSM, we don’t want to injure ourselves).
To clean this ball gag is quite simple and I say quite because the ball has ventilation holes; it can be difficult to clean inside them. Use warm water and an antibacterial soap or sex cleaner to clean the ball. Be careful of the straps, being made of leather and metal you don’t want to damage and rust them.
My verdict
I bought the Bondage Boutiques breathable ball gag a few years ago now from Lovehoney and I still remember how nervous I was about receiving them. I didn’t yet try out BDSM and was unsure if they would hurt my mouth or even break my teeth (tiny bit hypochondriacal).
I didn’t need to worry though. The mouth gag was not as intimidating as I thought it was going to be and was made really well. I was very impressed with the quality and as the years have gone on and I have tried many other gags I still am happy with how well the Bondage Boutiques breathable ball gag is made.
The straps being made of leather are comfortable and do not rub into my skin as the metal O rings on both straps also do not cause me any discomfort. The buckle is also strong and sturdy but can be hard to fasten by myself.
The ball gag is comfortable on you’re teeth (if that makes sense) but I did and still do if I haven’t used the gag for a while get jaw ache. I believe the more you use it the more accustomed and comfortable the ball gets but some may struggle to wear it for long periods of time. The ventilation holes are great; I liked being able to wear a gag without the threat of me struggling to breathe, which was the main reason why I had chosen this ball gag. Due to the air holes you may not be able to drool as much as ball gags with no air holes (I know some like mouth gags for this reason) but if you are not too fussed about producing a lot of drool then this gag is great.
I have had this gag now for many years and it has had a lot of use, yet it still is in very good condition. I have since bought new gags to try and they have not stood the test of time as this ball gag has.
The only negative side I can think of to this gag is the cleaning of the inside of the ball which can be a pain but really shouldn’t put you off.
The Bondage Boutique breathable ball gag is great for novices in BDSM but also those who are more advanced. I would highly recommend this ball gag to anyone who is considering purchasing one.
