Mouth Gags – Experience Full Obedience
What Is a Mouth Gag?
A mouth gag is a bondage accessory that keeps the mouth open and restricts speech. Whether you're exploring power dynamics or simply craving the thrill of control, a gag can heighten vulnerability and anticipation. With adjustable straps and different shapes, they come in styles that encourage drooling, restrict movement, or allow access for oral play.
The psychological element of wearing a mouth gag is just as exciting as the physical restriction. It can heighten anticipation, making every touch feel more intense while reinforcing the dynamic of dominance and submission. Whether used in light bondage or hardcore BDSM, a gag sex toy can be a thrilling addition to your play.
Different Types of BDSM Gags
With so many options available, choosing the right BDSM gag depends on your comfort level, experience, and fantasies.
Ball Gags – The Classic Choice
The most recognisable type of sex gag, a ball gag features a solid or ventilated ball that fits inside the mouth, limiting speech and encouraging a delicious build-up of drool. Available in different sizes, they range from beginner-friendly small balls to larger options for those who enjoy more intense restriction.
Brands like Ouch! and Zado offer high-quality, body-safe ball gags that provide both comfort and durability. A great example is the obaie Imitation Leather Silicone Ball Gag, which one satisfied reviewer describes as: “It met the expectations completely. Nice silicone, easy buckle and overall feels like a good quality product. The fact that there is also silicone at the tips of the mouth is great! A little big ball for me as a beginner, but soon goes well with a little more practice.”
Bit Gags – Inspired by Equestrian Gear
Bit gags resemble a horse’s bit, resting between the teeth rather than filling the mouth completely. They offer a slightly more comfortable experience than ball gags while still ensuring a delightful level of restriction. This type of BDSM gag is ideal for those who love the aesthetic of BDSM gear but prefer a more breathable option for gag bondage play.
The Mister B Gag Bite is a customer favourite, with a glowing 5-star review stating: “Nice strict gag. Fills well in the mouth. Once tightened, it is firmly attached and cannot be moved. Highly recommended.”
Ring Gags – Keeping the Mouth Open
For those who enjoy unrestricted access to their partner’s mouth during gag sex, a ring gag is a perfect choice. With a rigid ring that keeps the mouth wide open, it’s a go-to for oral play and power exchange scenarios. The Fetish Fantasy Silicone O-Ring Gag is a popular pick for this kind of play, earning praise like: “Good size, fits well in the girl's mouth but a little tight if you expect oral sex. The band and the ring itself are in silicone, which is both comfortable and easier to wash than the leather ones”
Dildo Gags – Combining Penetration and Restraint
For those craving something a little more daring, dildo gags offer the combined thrill of oral penetration and enforced silence. These BDSM gags have a built-in dildo that extends outward, turning your bondage session into a full-on oral fantasy. One reviewer of the Strict Leather Penis Gag says it all: “This gag is one of the best I've tried, it fits perfectly and it's impossible to spit it out (as with many other gags) + you can hardly make a sound because of the penis = a 10 from me.”
How to Pick the Right Bondage Gag
Finding the perfect bondage gag depends on your personal preferences and experience level. Beginners may want to start with a small ball gag or a breathable option, while experienced players might enjoy the stricter sensation of a spider or ring gag. Consider the following when making your choice:
- Material: Silicone and rubber are soft and easy to clean. Leather adds a more classic look and feel.
- Size: Start small if you're new, and work your way up.
- Adjustability: Look for a bondage gag with adjustable straps so you can keep it snug but comfy.
Safe and Enjoyable Gag Play
As exciting as gag bdsm play can be, safety is always a priority. Since gag sex toys limit your ability to speak, make sure you agree on a non-verbal safe signal before you start. A hand gesture or a drop object works well.
Always start slow and check in with your partner regularly. If anything starts to feel off — remove the mouth gag immediately. After play, give your gag a good clean using warm water and mild soap or a dedicated sex toy cleaner.

Frequently Asked Questions About Sex Gags
Here are some of the questions we often get from our customers about sex gags. If you have any other questions about our products or gags in general, you are welcome to contact our customer service team by phone, email or chat.
1. What gag size is best for comfort and fit?
The ideal gag size varies based on your mouth size and experience. Beginners often find smaller sizes more comfortable, while those with more experience might prefer larger BDSM gags. It's crucial to choose a size that feels snug but not overly tight. Many customers have noted in product reviews that starting small and working up to larger sizes can be a comfortable approach.
2. Are sex gags comfortable for long wear?
Comfort during extended use can differ from one person to another. Some find them comfortable for longer periods, while others might experience jaw fatigue. Starting with shorter sessions and gradually increasing the duration is a common recommendation from those who have shared their experiences.
3. Which gag material is best—leather, silicone, or plastic?
Silicone is often praised for its comfort, flexibility, and ease of cleaning. Leather offers a classic look and feel but needs more upkeep. Plastic is less common but can be a good choice if you're after a firmer gag. Customers frequently mention silicone as a favourite for its balance of comfort and practicality.
4. Do bondage gags have adjustable straps?
Yes, most gags come with adjustable straps to ensure a secure and comfortable fit. Proper adjustment is key to preventing slipping or excessive tightness. Many reviews highlight the importance of taking the time to adjust the straps correctly for the best experience.
5. Do mouth gags have a strong taste or smell?
The taste and smell can vary depending on the material. Silicone gags generally have minimal taste and odour, while leather might have a more noticeable scent. Airing out new gags before use is a tip often shared by customers to help reduce any strong odours.
6. Can you breathe while wearing a gag for sex?
Most gags are made to allow safe breathing through the nose. It's important to ensure clear nasal passages and to stop using the gag if breathing becomes difficult.
7. Are gags durable for frequent use?
Durability largely depends on the material and quality. High-quality silicone and leather gags are generally more durable, while plastic might wear out sooner. Proper care and storage can significantly extend the life of your gag.
8. How do you clean and store a gag for bondage use?
Silicone and plastic gags can be cleaned with mild soap and warm water, while leather gags should be wiped with a damp cloth and occasionally conditioned. Storing gags in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight helps maintain their condition.
9. Do gags look good for kinky play?
Gags can add a visual element to kinky play, with various styles and materials available to suit different preferences. Many customers appreciate the aesthetic appeal and the intensity they bring to their experiences.
10. How well do gags for BDSM purposes prevent speech?
Gags are intended to muffle or restrict speech, though effectiveness varies by type. Ball gags and bit gags are noted for significantly reducing speech clarity, while open-mouth gags allow more vocalisation but still hinder articulate speech.
