Recently, on a Sunday night, I found myself on all fours on our bed with the Gator Restraints Ball Gag between my teeth and Jack’s cock between my legs. How I got there is a story for another day, but we couldn’t have had such a great time without Sensual Direct, who sent me the gag and a few other fun toys.

So, how is this gag different from your run of the mill ball gag? Well, it’s hallow for starters, about the size of a golf ball, and has about a dozen holes punched in it.

Why? Well I am glad you asked.

Since the dawn of ball gags, there has been a risk factor involved that has deterred me from ever allowing one into my mouth until now. If you vomit with a ball gag in, you can die faster than your Dom would be able to release the buckle.

See, what happens when you throw up and there is no place for said vomit to go, is that you can easily aspirate (breath) it back into your lungs, which will kill you.

Now, I don’t have any statistics on how often that happens, but just that fact that it might has forced me to only use gags of the ring or bit variety. Not a big deal really, but worth mentioning.

Since there are holes in this ball gag, fluids (such as vomit) are easily passed from your mouth to the outside world. Hooray for safety features. The holes also make it WAY easier to breath, since some of us have crappy nasal passages and could otherwise never use a ball gag.

Anyway, besides being very safe and easy to use, I found the straps on this gag to be sturdy. I generally steer away from any BDSM tools that are made out of imitation leather, since it tends to be weak and wears faster than actual leather. However, since not a lot of strain will be going on a gag (except to keep it snug) I allowed for it in this instance.

At first I felt this ball was too small. I could move it around in my mouth some, and I was skeptical of how well it was going to work. I did find that the strap didn’t go small enough. Anyone with a smaller head than I might have to punch a couple more holes in it, but no matter, I’ve had to do that with other gear as well. I suggest using a leather punch, since just cutting a hole will cause it to tear, which is not what you want.

Once I settled in with the gag firmly in my mouth, I discovered the smaller size made this gag very comfortable to wear for long periods. After 30 minutes with it in, my jaw wasn’t sore at all. Also, it served it’s purpose, I was not able to talk or bite all the way down or do anything besides grunting and moaning.

The smaller size and holes will not prevent one of the most/least fun aspects of gags, the drooling. Jack had to put a towel under my face due to the amount of saliva that was collecting. Some people love this, others not so much. If saliva bothers you, let me suggest a bit gag, which will not restrict swallowing normally.

Another problem I’ve had with other gags that was not a problem with this particular model, is pain at the corners of the mouth, from the straps rubbing. The pieces that attach the ball to the fastening straps is nice and narrow, so it didn’t rub at all. I really appreciated that.

If you are new to BDSM, this is a great starter gag, since it’s not intimidating and actually rather aesthetically pleasing.
