Gags

Gags are typically BDSM toys used to cut off the speech of a submissive partner. The gag makes the wearer feel helpless, humiliated, and at the mercy of the dominant one—emotions they enjoy. 

The dominant partner, in turn, gets a thrill from the muffled groans and moans the submissive makes. Or it might be the unrestrained drooling that turns them on.

What is the purpose of using a gag during BDSM play?

Gags are often part of a larger restraint play, where the arms and legs of the submissive are tied. It creates a feeling of utter helplessness in the submissive that turns them on as their ability to speak is taken away.

What are the different types of gags used in BDSM?

Ball, bit, and ring gags are between the teeth and gags used to set the jaw apart. Muzzle gags are used to keep the mouth closed.

Are gags safe to use for beginners?

Gags are safe for beginners if you follow some safety measures. 

  • Mouth gags keep your jaws apart, so try on the gag to find a tightness level you’re comfortable with. Otherwise, you might end up with a dislocated jaw. 
  • Do not wear it for more than 10 to 15 minutes for your first time either and have safe signals ready. 
  • Never leave the wearer out of your line of vision, in case they need someone to remove the gag immediately.

How do I choose the right gag for comfort and safety?

If you’re a beginner, you should use breathable gags like bit gags and ring gags. Experienced users can experiment with ball gags and muzzles.

Tips for Choosing Gags

  • Experience Level: Go for bit gags, ring gags, or breathable ball gags if you’re a beginner. You shouldn’t be gasping for breath when you’re trying to get used to the unique feeling of having your jaws pried apart. 
  • Material: Rubber gags or silicone gags like the Sportsheets Locking Lace are easy to clean and feel softer compared to leather ones. 
  • Safety Mechanism: Either get gags with adjustable straps or make sure the fit is just right. Make sure there’s an easy release mechanism so both of you don’t end up fumbling with the gag in case of emergency.
