Have a ball
This is a solid, economical ball gag that should work for anyone. It's size and ease of use make it perfect for a beginner newly exploring BDSM yet it's classic design and affordable price makes it a good choice even for the experienced who may have multiple play partners needing their own gag.Published: January 12, 2009
Pros:
Affordable, easily and quickly removed, small and comfortable size
Cons:
Attachment points eventually separate
This was actually the first ball gag I ever purchased. We now have quite a few in our toybox - different sizes and colors, different sorts of straps, different looks and fits - but this one was the perfect first gag.
Not only is it affordable and small enough for comfort but it's very simple to use and remove quickly if need be.
The round rubber ball is firm and comfortable in the mouth, blocking intelligible speech but not hindering breathing. I've bitten into mine and not done any real damage. A few teeth marks but nothing that spoiled the usability of the gag.
The rubber has a typical rubber smell but nothing overwhelming like some toys that can smell like anything from tires to chemicals and it has a typical rubber taste that fades with time.
The straps are one of the best things about this ball gag. They're simple and soft and go around the head with a minimum of fuss. Closing and tightening the straps is done with a slider/button type device like you often see on drawstring bags and backpacks. You really can't get any simpler or faster than this type of closure. You push the button to slide it tighter or looser and release when it's where you want it. No buckles, no noisy Velcro, nothing to slow you down if the person wearing it has trouble breathing or swallowing.
I've actually slept in this gag with no worries about getting it off - FAST - in case of emergency.
Definitely a good, affordable addition to anyone's toybox, especially if you want to try a gag for the first time and don't want to invest a lot into it.
The only real issue I had was the rubber ball eventually started to separate from the small black disk on the side that connects it to the string.
Also, rubber is porous so this definitely shouldn't be shared. Clean up can be done easily with soap and water but bacteria can't be completely eliminated. Plus, rubber gags tend to dry and crack after a few years. Another reason the price on this is a benefit since it's easily replaceable.

Follow-up commentary
2 months after original review
I got a comment about how cheap this gag looks and wanted to address that in the follow up.
First of all, it is cheap. It's listing at $11.99 right now. That's dirt cheap for an effective, easy to use and remove, beginner ball gag.
It also looks much better in person, in use, than it does in the picture. One of my favorite photographs of myself features me in this gag.
Don't judge a book by it's cover nor a toy by it's cost.
This one is decent quality for the price and an excellent choice for the beginner or the curious.

Thank you for viewing Ball gag – mouth gag review page!
That could not look as cheaper
Would you be able to glue the 'discs' back on?
I don't think so. By the time they started to give the gag was getting dry anyhow so I just replaced it. It's awful gummy where it starts to separate and I just didn't want that near my mouth.
Lauren -
It is cheap. Lol. It's thirteen bucks. Something that looks well made and luxurious is going to cost a lot more.
I think cheap has it's place.
When first trying something it's nice to find something that works well, costs little and doesn't feel like a waste of a lot of hard earned cash if you end up not liking it.
And for a lower end product, it lasted quite a long time. Three years, I believe.
Great review- I'm going to message you.
Cheap, fast and easy...hmmm..sounds scandalous
Lol
Sounds like a few of my friends.
This was the first ball gag i ever purchased, and I love it! I had been mainly into cleave gags, and I wanted to experiment a bit. It took a bit of getting used tom but now I can apply it easily into my mouth, sometimes even over a stocking hood! Yummy!
awesome!
Sounds like a steal for the price and durability...I think I might have to try one, I have a lover who is a touch submissive and might like it, or he might use it on me you never can tell with him. LOL
Good review
I like the pullstring idea. Buckles usually pull my hair. And the price is right since you really never can have too many toys in your chest!
Good review
