Sex Toy Review: Japanese Ball Gag

I’m not a big fan of gags. No no, not at all. I’ve tried a few types before, and I do not like them. But, as a dedicated sexuality educator and reviewer, I am willing to try out almost anything, and this week, I tried out the Japanese Ball Gag.

This gag is different than most — unlike most gags, it doesn’t have a leather strap, so this is a toy that is good for those among us who are both kinky and vegan (or even some vegetarians).  On the other hand, the rope strap is pretty much the only redeeming quality of it.

The ball itself smells (and tastes) like death. I’ve had it hanging in my bathroom (hoping the steam from the shower would help the smell/taste dissipate) for almost two months…and still, there is a faint smell of death, and it definitely tastes like it. 

Also, the ball is really big.  I have a small mouth to begin with, AND TMJ, so I can’t really fit the ball in my mouth well. I had one of my subs try it out, and although it was a slightly better fit, it became pretty uncomfortable pretty fast.

This is not really the best quality of gag, so it’s fairly affordable. However, it’s big and has such an odd chemical smell and taste that I wouldn’t really recommend it for anyone.  VibeReview has some other fun kink products, like the Under the Bed Restraint System, the Slapper, and a variety of cock straps. If you’re wanting to add a little spice to your life, those are some better (and better quality) products to add some chocolate chips to your vanilla.

So while the ball gag was a bit of a bust, it wasn’t the worst product I’d ever tried. I’d give it two stars out of five.

You can get the ball gag, or a whole variety of other excellent products at VibeReview.com.

    I think the straps of that ball gag are made of silk (so says the info on VibeReview, anyway), making it not suitable for vegans…I’ve been looking around for a vegan ball gag and have yet to find anything!
