Ball Gag Safety Tips: How to Use One Like a Pro
22 Oct 2024
Ball gags are a great way to spice up your kink arsenal, whether you're a kink newbie or just someone who wants to spice things. It's important to do it safely, just like in any other aspect of life. We've got some tips for you to ensure that your experience is thrilling and safe.
What is a Ball Gag exactly?
Let's begin with the basics. Ball gags are exactly as they sound: a ball, usually made of rubber, silicone or leather, that you put in your mouth, and which is then held in place with straps around your neck. What is the main idea? This can be an attraction for those who are into power dynamics or sensory play. You can choose from a variety of types such as solid ball gags or breathable ball jokes (with holes to allow you to breathe more easily) and bit gags that are more like horse bits. It's worth trying out different types to find the one that suits you.
Size and material matter when choosing the right ball gag
Ball gags are not all the same size. The gag will be painful (or uncomfortable) if it is too large. If it's too small, you might not get the desired result. If you are new to the process, start with something that feels good in your mouth.
Material is another important factor. Rubber and leather are also popular, and can provide different sensations. Silicone is widely used because it's easy to clean and soft. A breathable ball gag that has holes is a good option if you are worried about breathing. You can get used to it without feeling uncomfortable.
Communication is Everything: Safe Words & Signals
You're not completely out of options, even if a ball gag restricts verbal communication. It's important to have a "safe word" or better yet a "safe signal" before you start playing, as talking may not be an option. Simple hand gestures, such as tapping twice, work well to signal "Hey, let's pause this."
Make it a regular habit to check up on your partner. You can still check on your partner even if they are gagged. Be aware of their body language, and stop them if you notice that they are uncomfortable.
How to Fit the Ball Gag: Do it Right
It's important to get the right fit once you've chosen your ball gag. It shouldn't be too loose, as it will fall out. But too tight also isn't good. The straps must be tight enough to keep the gag in position without digging into your skin or causing discomfort.
Take a few deep breaths when you first put it on to ensure that you can comfortably breathe. It is important to do this with solid-ball gags. It is important to make sure that everything feels safe but not restricted.
Play Safe and Have Fun
Let's move on to the actual performance. Keep an eye on anyone wearing the gag. You'll need to be on the lookout for signs of distress or discomfort since they won't have any way to communicate. If you are the one wearing it, you should agree on how to indicate that you need a rest.
Start slowly. It's best to start off with short sessions if you're a beginner. You don't want your jaws to get tired. You can extend the time as you become more comfortable.
It's important to remove the gag gently. After a good time, the last thing you'd want is to injure yourself by pulling it too fast.
Don't skip the cleaning and aftercare
It's time to clean up after the fun. Hygiene is important because you will be putting the ball gag in your mouth. Clean the gag with mild soap and warm water, or any other cleaning method recommended by the manufacturer. It must be completely dried before it can be stored.
Don't forget to take care of yourself after your session. After your session, you should spend some time with your partner, whether it is a quiet moment, a conversation, or a cuddle. A soothing mouthwash can be used to soothe a sore mouth.
