Mouth Gags – Explore Control, Sensation & Silence
Mouth gags are essential accessories in BDSM and bondage play, designed to heighten anticipation, restraint, and sensory focus. A BDSM ball Gag restricts speech and expression, creating a deep sense of submission and control — a thrilling exchange of trust between partners.
Used by beginners and experienced players alike, mouth gags enhance power dynamics and allow couples to explore silence, vulnerability, and arousal in a safe and consensual way. Whether used for visual appeal, roleplay, or sensation play, a bondage gag adds an undeniable edge to your scene.
Some Types of Mouth Gags
Ball Gag / Gag Ball:
The most iconic style, a ball gag (or gag ball) features a round silicone or rubber ball held in place by a leather or silicone strap. It limits speech while allowing moans and muffled sounds — a favorite for both restraint and aesthetics.
Bit Gag:
Inspired by horse bits, a bit gag uses a straight silicone or rubber bar between the teeth. It’s great for those who want the look and control of a gag without full mouth restriction.
Ring Gag:
A ring gag keeps the mouth open rather than closed, allowing for deeper play scenarios while maintaining visual intensity. Perfect for those who enjoy teasing or advanced roleplay.
Bone Gag:
Shaped like a bone, this playful twist on the ball and gag style offers a mix of restraint and fun. It’s soft, ergonomic, and ideal for those who want something unique.
Penis Gag:
Designed to add both visual and psychological intensity, a penis gag features a realistic shape that fills the mouth while emphasizing dominance and submission dynamics. It’s popular in fetish and roleplay scenes for its bold aesthetic and sensation play.
Leather Harness Gag:
For the ultimate bondage look, a leather harness gag features straps that wrap around the head for a secure, dominating aesthetic. It can combine with a ball gag or bit gag for enhanced control and comfort.

How to Choose a Mouth Gag?
Mouth gags aren't one-size-fits-all! With so many mouth gag options out there, it might be hard to decide what's best for you. To help guide you in the right direction, our staff has answered a few FAQs below:
I've never used a mouth gag before. What should I get?
We recommend breathable ball gags if you're brand new to gags! Being able to breathe through your mouth while using them makes it easier to introduce them without it becoming overwhelming. You can wear them longer than non-breathable ball gags as well, making them great even for those who are experienced. And if you're into drool, these gags were designed to deliver!
I experience jaw pain when wearing ball gags. Are there any alternatives?
There are plenty of alternatives out there! Some of our favorites include bit gags and mouthguard gags. Both of these gags still muffle and incapacitate the wearer but don't hold their mouths open and are easy to bite down on, preventing jaw strain.
Which gag should I get if I want to keep someone's mouth open so I can stuff it?
If you're into forced mouth stuffing, we love to use ring gags and mouth spreaders! They're just perfect for forced stuffing, spitting, and plenty of other naughty things you can think of.
