(But get one…its fricking latex!) Leather and Faux Leather Latex straps… now I’m very sympathetic to it’s drawbacks because…well, its latex! I’ve got a few gags which use latex straps and I love them, if you’re going for impossible to push out, this is a no… you can ALWAYS stretch latex and it will be push-outable, but its latex… its lovely, however if I was buying 1 gag… it wouldn’t have a latex strap, its too stretchy. Its not a great choice for long term use though, it can get quite warm and sweaty, holding moisture and causing chafing after a while. PVC… actually works quite well, not too much stretch but much softer than canvas and there’s a certain fetishism nature to the feel of shiny PVC around the mouth. (You may have guessed I prefer a gag to be comfortable and let the rest of the scene cause the discomfort) PVC CanvasĬanvas straps appear from time to time, notably within the Fetish Fantasy range, these are a woven canvas similar to a cheap ratchet/tie down strap, these have very little stretch but a whole heap of friction, they chafe badly, and although they flex or fold they are another culprit of bad gag-marks and discomfort beyond the normal fun levels. They cause some of the worst gag-marks and often have some stretch, meaning to be effective they end up being very tight… its a no from me I’m afraid. I completely avoid string gags, any fine string used to hold a gag in is owwey almost from the outset, they tend to come on the very cheapest of gags and with such a small surface area all of the tension immediately starts to dig into the side of the mouth. Now some may enjoy a very tight single strap but this isn’t for everyone and material becomes even more critical. The drawback can be unless tied tightly they often leave wiggle room to push out the gag.

Single Strapīy far the most common ballgags are a single strap around the back of the head, these are very photogenic within the wider frame as they don’t obstruct the face. There’s several different straps and harnesses out there for even the most simple gags and they can be a very crucial choice for comfort, practicality and security. We have many styles and enjoy the variety but for now let’s talk Ballgags… Straps for ball gags And have resigned quite a few to the “probably won’t be using that much” category and a much fewer number are not even in the gag drawer but are sitting on the bedside table or in my playbag, I hope to explain why and what may be a good start for anyone looking to find something new or even their first gag. We now have somewhere in the region of 50-60 different gags… a gag-session if you will. Now I’ll caveat this as being simply my own opinion and whilst I’ll try to describe why I’ve came to these opinions… everyone is different, so I really don’t mind if you disagree or think I’m talking utter garbage! Intro…best place to start! Better still, he doesn’t get offended if I disagree! As a result of reading this I asked if I could share it here, because… as a complete beginner I found it interesting and thought it may be a valuable resource for others embarking on their own adventures into the world of gags.Īnother big gap between writing anything here but I’ve been pondering writing my own guide or two just from my own experience and our toy cupboards (yes…it’s now turned plural!) I have never been the biggest fan of “Fet-experts” or any experts for that matter, but I have a lot of respect for him and his opinion is always worth a look. A couple of weeks passed, and my mind came back to gags, among other pressing desires…Īt the same time I was broaching these subject with Sir I had a message pointing me to Trautaruan’s fetlife post on gags. I shared with him that I was woefully lacking in knowledge when it comes to this particular style of bondage. Apparently McHurt ball gags are the best out there. He got excited at the store, and asked if I had looked at their ballgags. I recently made a purchase from McHurt and shared the news with a good friend of mine, the male half of the couple who let me try on their wonderfully daft (and restrictive) bobble hood. For one reason or another I have never used them in scene, unless you include cocks and knickers. I have been growing increasingly curious about gags for a while now.
