Mouth gag discontinued
by Kinklab

Handing over the reins

Great for ponies that are ready for training, but also a good solid gag for anyone looking for an alternative to ball gags. I find this more comfortable and more aesthetically pleasing than ball gags, so if you've had trouble with them in the past, don't give up hope! Just try a bit instead.

Use

I have always had trouble with ball gags. It doesn't matter what they're made of, how relatively cheap or how luxurious they are, they just don't feel okay in my mouth. I still want to be gagged, though, and after reading up on pony play I decided this would be an all-around good choice to suit both needs.

As my first bit gag, this worked out as well as I could have wished. Unlike my experience with ball gags, this allows me to relax my mouth or bite down so my jaw isn't locked into one position. I can wear it for much longer without discomfort. This could be a huge plus to people with smaller mouths or TMJ issues.

It's pretty easy to vocalize around this, and it allows some freedom of movement for the tongue. I can't actually say anything intelligible with it in, but if you and your partner like more vocal noise this is also a good choice for allowing it. It did make me drool a bit, but that can also be a plus if you or your partner find it hot.

Overall, the less intimidating size and the relative comfort of this gag make it a good choice for beginners. Its sturdy construction, locking buckle, and the equine possibilities that it allows, makes it useful to more advanced players.

Design / Craftsmanship / Material / Size / Fit

I love this design overall. The leather feels sturdy and of a good quality, which always makes me happy. The buckle locks (lock not included), and the metal rings sit comfortably, allowing reins to be attached.
The one issue I have with this gag is minor, but could bother some users: the rubber has a very strong smell and a slight taste (to me - YMMV).

This is how it fits on me:




The bit itself is 6" long, with 4" between the knobs where the rings attach. It is 2.5" around.
The rings are 3" across. The strap has 7 holes, with about 1/4" of space between each one.
Laying flat, it can go from 17" to 23", but since the bit is straight, that won't correspond with a tape measure pulled around your head. For example, I wear it on the next-to-last hole, which should be about 18" in my measurement, but 18" of a looped tape measure is looser.
    • Adjustable
    • Fits comfortably
    • Leather

Performance

This did everything I wanted it to do! It felt both comfortable and secure, which I've never gotten from a gag before. I enjoyed not being able to talk, but still being able to make sounds. That alone is a big help in getting into the headspace I wanted to be in while using this.

I haven't been locked into it yet (we seem to have a lock shortage right now), but I love that it has this feature since relying on my partner to unlock me gets me even more excited when we're together.
Buckled securely at the nape of my neck, this is just about impossible for me to slip out of. I tried for testing purposes, and if I really pull on the bit and contort myself, I can manage it after a good bit of effort. Needless to say, I had no trouble with it slipping out of place during actual play.

As mentioned, this does tend to produce drool. My partner likes this, and I certainly don't mind it, but after longer wear it could cause chapped lips. A minor point, but if you don't like drool, it could be an issue after a while.

I've been able to bite down pretty hard on the bit without damaging it, and it gives a good solid feel for biting, which I also like.
    • Comfortable during use
    • Easy to put on / use
    • Holds up to use well

Care and Maintenance

I haven't had this long enough to need to condition the leather, but I'm sure I will. One thing I love about leather is that it can last a long time with proper care. I just wipe the bit down with a damp cloth and put it in my toy chest when I'm not using it.
    • Easy to clean
    • Easy to store

Packaging

This comes in a clear plastic tube, which could be used for storage if you like, although I don't bother.
The insert has two attractive models showing this off, but nothing else.
    • Good for storage
    • Minimal
    • Not discreet

Personal comments

One safety note I'd like to include for anyone completely new to gags is that although you may be able to make a lot of noise around this one, you probably still can't talk.

If you're wearing one for the first time, it can be a good idea to come up with a nonverbal signal to use in place of a safeword. Even if you never have to use it, just having one can help you to feel safe. To me, feeling safe is essential to having a good kinky time.

If you're using this on a partner, checking in to see how they are is a good idea. On a personal note, even though He can read me really well, and we communicate before and after each session, my partner still checks in regularly during play. This doesn't interrupt the flow of things, but it does assure Him that I am okay and it reminds me that He is taking good care of me.

Experience

Some people might just want a gag, but this is really a bit, in the sense that it's a piece of tack for me.
Eden doesn't carry them, but I found some reins to go with it!



Not being able to speak is good by itself, but having reins to be lead around on made my wearing this a hundred times better. I enjoyed the feeling even more than I do being leashed, since they can be pulled on either side to control motion more precisely.

Later, I ended up on all fours being ridden hard. Again, the feeling of Him controlling my head with the reins was fantastic. I didn't want this being taken off of me in the end!
