Ball gags, top BDSM picks of 2026

What is a ball gag?

A ball gag is a bdsm toy that belongs to the bondage articles. It is an exciting fetish accessory that fills or keeps the mouth open by means of a ball, mouthpiece or clips. Many variants are fastened behind the head by means of a strap so that the toy stays in place. The ball gag prevents the submissive (or slave) from speaking. That is why this bondage toy is known as an exciting accessory that quickly gives the submissive a submissive feeling . The ball gag was often used in the Middle Ages to stifle the screams and cries of an abused victim. This version was made of wood and fastened with a leather strap. Today, ball gags come in many different shapes, sizes and materials.

What can you do with a ball gag?

A ball gag is a commonly used accessory in the bdsm world. It is mainly used to emphasize the submissive's submissive role. And that works. When you wear a ball gag, you will not be able to speak , because the ball or bit will squeeze your tongue. You will only be able to make a few noises. In addition to taking away your ability to talk, you will drool over time as the gag makes it difficult to swallow. For the Dominant, it can be exciting to see his or her partner lose control of his or her saliva. Especially the humiliation caused by the gag can be very exciting for both the Master (es) and the submissive.

More possibilities with a ball gag

The mouth gag is easy to use with other accessories. You can easily deprive the submissive of all will by tying him or her with, for example, bondage rope for example. The use of a blindfold in combination with a ball gag is also an exciting addition. The submissive will not be able to resist and will not know what the Dominant is doing or has in store. Besides bondage, the ball gag can also be used in other situations. Consider, for example, puppy or pony play . Especially the bit gags are extremely suitable for this. Elongated bits that you hold between the jaws quickly make you look like a pony. Bit gags in the shape of a bone can make you look like a dog.

How do you use a ball gag?

A gag is a fun toy if you want to go a little further with bdsm. When you are just starting out with bdsm, it may be wise to talk about a ball gag and possibly make agreements about it. Once you've decided to use the gag, there are a few things to keep in mind:

First of all, you choose a ball gag of your choice. There are many different models that are further explained later in this text. It is important to consider the size of the ball. If you are a beginner or just don't have that big mouth, a big ball can quickly cause pain in your jaw. Therefore, try a ball gag with a diameter of 2.5 to 4 centimeters first.
Always clean the gag before and after use. Because you have the gag in your mouth for a (long) time, you can get sick if the gag is not properly cleaned first. Saliva will accumulate on the ball gag during use. That is why the sm-ball must also be cleaned afterwards. This is very easy with a toy cleaner or warm water.
Always agree on a safe movement with a gag ball. Since you cannot talk with a ball gag in your mouth, you have to find another way to make it clear to the Master that you want to stop. A commonly used method is to hold an object. As soon as the submissive drops the object, it is red for the Dominant code, which means that the Master (es) must stop. A certain movement can also make code red clear. This allows the submissive to move the head a number of times. Other movements or sounds (a bell for example) can also work well as a safe method.
The gag can now be used. You place the ball behind the teeth in the mouth, as well as a ring. You place a bit between the jaws. A submissive will not be able to spit it out because the gag is attached to the back of the head with a strap or buckle.
When using a gag, saliva builds up in the mouth over time. When you tilt your head back, drool will run into your throat. Because swallowing is difficult, excessive saliva can induce a gagging tendency and can feel very uncomfortable. By holding your head forward, the saliva finds its way out.

Are there any risks with using a ball gag?

Yes, there are risks. Never use a gag ball if you or your partner has a stuffy nose or narrowed airways. A classic ball gag makes it nearly impossible to breathe through your mouth. When the submissive cannot breathe through his / her nose, the submissive can choke. Also when the submissive starts to gag, the gag should be removed. If this does not happen and the submissive vomits, stomach contents can come out through the nose and cause breathing problems as well . For fear of suffocation, a ball gag with breathing holes can be chosen. Do not let a ball gag sit for more than 10 to 20 minutes. Over time, the ball will feel uncomfortable and eventually cause pain . With frequent use, the jaw muscles can stretch and in extreme cases the jaw can become dislocated.

What different ball gags are there?

There are different ball gags that are suitable for different types of roleplay. To determine which ball gag is right for you, we have listed the models below:

Ball gags with air holes

If you don't like the idea that you or your partner might not be getting enough air, you can opt for a gag ball with holes in it. The ball is hollow and on the outside there are several holes that always provide you with air through the mouth. That makes this gag safer than a classic ball gag by definition. The disadvantage of this model is that it is more difficult to clean. Saliva can get inside the ball. This should be rinsed well.

Bit gags

Instead of a ball, these gags have an elongated rod that the submissive can bite on. The gag is fastened with a strap or strap. These bit gags are popular with puppy play and pony play. Breathing and making noise is easier with this variant. Some models even allow you to talk a little. The disadvantage of this gag is that the corners of the mouth can become irritated. Rough handling can therefore be very painful for the wearer.

The mouth spreader or ring gag

The name says it all: your mouth is opened wide by means of a construction. This is the case with a mouth spreader like a ring gag. A metal or silicone structure keeps your jaw and lips apart. The tongue has plenty of room, more than a classic ball gag. Therefore sounds and even some words will be intelligible. The drool content, on the other hand, is a lot higher. Swallowing is difficult and saliva is not stopped by a ball. After a few minutes, the submissive will be drooling a lot. It is possible to put something in the submissive's mouth when he or she is wearing a mouth spreader or ring gag.

Gag with dildo

The mouth gag with dildo is a ball gag with a dildo on the outside. There are models where the dildo is attached directly to the ball. In this case, the dildo is often not that big to make the gag a bit more comfortable. There are also dildo gags that are completely over the mouth and sometimes even part of the lower jaw. Often there is a ball or protrusion on the inside to keep the mouth open. The dildos are often a bit bigger with these models. A gag with dildo makes it possible to penetrate your partner through many different positions. By moving your head, the mouth, anus and vagina can be stimulated.

What should you pay attention to when buying a ball gag and which ones are the best?

It is advisable to pay attention to the different materials that ball gags are made of. For example, some models are made of rubber, but these can have a bad taste and cause allergic reactions. There are also variants where the ball is made of plastic. The plastic ball gags are easy to keep clean, but can be painful for the teeth when the submissive bites them. Finally, there are ball gags made of silicone. The material is bite-resistant and easy to keep clean. That makes silicone mouth gags one of the better models out there. Filtering by material is possible on the left of the page.

Size does matter with a ball gag

As mentioned earlier, it is important to pay attention to the size of the ball. As you are more experienced, you can opt for a larger ball. If you are not sure which ball gag suits you well, you can choose to order different sizes or go for a ball gag training system. With this set you get three balls that differ in size. You have a ball gag from € 9.95. With a cheaper model, the chance is greater that it will have a bad or bad taste. If you want to prevent that, it is best to go for a slightly more expensive (silicone) variant.
