The black rose seems unsafe, the ties could become stuck

I like the look of the ball gag more.

I really don't like either one

I would choose the bit. I have TMJ so that is something I have to keep in mind when purchasing a gag...

And above..anything that ties can become knotted..aka stuck...just cut the strings lol

If you take their quality then the bit, as that ball gag is full of rubber pieces inside the holes.

The bit doesn't look great to me and I don't like the breathable ball gag from experience. I would get a silicone ball gag of some kind.

I'd make sure it is something that is the size for your mouth. The bit might be more versatile, but it's a new product so I don't know how it does yet.

Probably the breathable one, because breathing is cool.

i like bit style more

The bit style reminds me TOO much of a horse, which reminds me of the animal fetish. So the Breathable Ball Gag.

Now, I'm not all that experienced in gags but I can give you some things to think about.

Black Rose: This gag doesn't look very wide or big where it would be in your mouth so the position of your jaw would be like you're holding a pencil. This would be a good position since you've most likely experienced this before. The ties look soft and when it's a the edge of your mouth for a little while you probably won't notice it too much. If you're worried about the knots getting stuck you could always look up something on how to tie a knot that would come undone with a tug on the right tie. Search knots that you can undo if you're doing bondage on yourself. All in all, this gag seems like a beginner's choice and would suit you nicely if you don't play too rough with it.

Ball Gag: The ball on this gag is breathable so that's a good feature for someone new to gags however, if you look at the edges near the rings the material looks like it would rub against the corner's of your mouth if in for too long. The ball seems like the size of a golf ball so having that in your mouth for an extended period of time would hurt your jaw. If you bite down, like I do,then this ball would be a better feel in your mouth though. The material looks nice on the other hand and I think would feel good against your skin if you like the contrast. The buckle at the back seems safe as there would be no knots that would get tangled and it would be easy to take off either by yourself or by someone else.

These are just my thoughts and opinions but with these notes in mind which would you choose?

there are other options, but if you want something a little less intense the black rose

the bit gag is less hard on your jaw, so that is a better idea if you think your jaw won't do well being very open
