Aslan Silicone Ball Gag provided for review by Babeland

Kayla

The Silicone Ball Gag from Babeland is an amazing ball gag. I’ve been searching for a long time to attempt to find a ball gag that was both comfortable and the right size, and it’s been a difficult search. Many people seem to be able to use the 2” ball on most gags, but Jor just didn’t have the mouth size for it, so it made most traditional gags unusable for us. Until we found this one. (dun dun dunnnn)

The ball aspect itself is made completely from silicone which makes it safe for teeth because its squishy and has give. The leather of the gag is nicely treated, and it’s comfortably slick and smooth. This ball gag will fit sixteen to twenty-three inch heads, and the ball gag itself is just a little under two inches. The buckle isn’t locking, but it shouldn’t be; it’s a safety hazard.

Putting it onto another person is extremely easy. All I have to do is just allow Jor to keep the ball gag in his mouth, go around to his backside, then pull the straps up against the back of his head and tighten it. If you both are beginners, let it hang a little loose (so if need be, your partner can spit it out.) If you want “real” (what is real play anyway?) play, tighten it so your partner can’t spit it out.

Safety wise, don’t be stupid and use this for more than thirty minutes. Future jaw problems are not sexy. Agree upon a safeword before you shove a gag in your partner’s mouth – pissed off partners aren’t sexy either. If you have any jaw problems, be careful during use of a ball gag.

Cleaning it is extremely easy. Because each side of the ball gag provides a snap button, you can unsnap the ball gag from the rest of the leather and just clean it by itself. Warm water and antibacterial soap will clean the ball up just fine. Avoid getting the soap or water on the leather. If you want to clean the leather, there is special leather cleaner that will assist with that.

I really liked playing with the Silicone Ball Gag. It was a lot different from Ball Gags I’ve tried in the past. Normally they were alway too big for me and hurt my jaw. But this one was the perfect size for me. It wasn’t marketed as a training ball gag, but it definitely helps and I love having a ball gag I can finally keep on for more than a few minutes.

As for how it feels, well it feels basically like a ball gag. You’re going to drool, it’s going to be icky and humiliating, but it’s a ball gag. What are you expecting? So if you’re looking for something comfortable, I advise against sticking a gag in your mouth. As for the leather strap and stuff, they don’t bother me and they feel nice enough. Honestly I don’t even really notice they’re there. So I wouldn’t call it “uncomfortable” in a bad way, but it is a ball gag.

One nice thing about this ball gag, besides its size, is that it is really soft and squishy. I can easily dig my teeth into it and it doesn’t hurt at all. In fact it’s kind of fun going “nom nom nom” on a giant ball, but that’s besides the point. My point is basically it’s easy on the mouth and teeth. The Silicone Ball Gag, from my experiences so far, is basically a great ball gag for beginners. It’s user friendly, comfortable and fun to use, or at least the BDSM equivalents of those words.

LELO Ella provided for review by Babeland

Mimi

The LELO Ella is a coveted toy for many people, and understandably, considering it feels as luxurious as it looks (very) and it is designed to deliver g-spot orgasms. Pure silicone, velvety purple, and 7″ x 1-1/2″ at widest point.  It’s light and slightly flexible, yet sturdy enough to handle vigorous thrusting. Sounds fantastic, right? Keep reading.

I have had g-spot orgasms, both with and without ejaculation (or squirting), with the use of njoy’s Fun Wand or LELO’s Gigi and a vibrator on my clit. Both of the curved g-spot toys I just listed are harder and less flexible than the Ella, but they are just as smooth, well-made, and fantastic. However, a lot of effort is required for me and I even give my g-spot a “head start” over the clitoral stimulation. The Ella is even more difficult for me, which I was a bit surprised by.

The handle is long enough to maneuver and there are no buttons to worry about (like the Gigi), but there’s something about it’s shape and silicone handle that makes it hard to hold and thrust. My fingers slide out of place and it’s very upsetting. I find myself having to pause to re-adjust my fingers, which is totally not what I want to be doing when I’m getting close to exploding all over my sheets.

And perhaps I prefer the harder and less flexible feel of those other toys. Still, that’s personal preference, and the Ella is shaped perfectly for g-spot stimulation. That counts the most.

If you have difficulty with reaching a g-spot orgasm, don’t stress yourself out over it. It takes time and practice. And sometimes it just doesn’t happen. The point is to have a good time.

The great thing about silicone, in case you didn’t know, is that it can be sterilized after use by boiling it for about 10 minutes or putting it in the dishwasher without soap. This means you can share it with other people.

Well, usually I sheepishly describe the materials and cleaning precautions with a vaginal insertion toy. You know, because I don’t have a vagina. No matter what you heard, I really don’t have one.

But this time Mimi covered all of that as well as the vagina factor (that would be a good band name) so I’ll just have to talk about my experiences using it on her.

The Ella is significantly better to use than the Gigi from my perspective because the handle is longer and there is not a big button right where my thumb should be. I can hold on and thrust really well and for much longer quite comfortably.

Basic breathe-easy ball gag provided for review by Eden Fantasys

Joseph

This is my first experience with a manufactured gag. I mean, I can’t say that it is my first experience with a gag because arguably anything that can be crammed in a mouth is a gag and I’ve had so many things crammed in my mouth….you don’t even know.

As first experiences go, it was a pretty great one. I opened this product up and popped it in my mouth right out of the bag (lets hope the person that put it in there washed their hands) because I wanted to see if it really was easy to breathe through. It is! Though after some heavy breathing it gets a bit…slobbery but as anyone that has every played a wind instrument knows, there is really no way around that.

Because the ball is made from 100% silicone, it is really easy to clean and phthalates free which are both great things. If you can’t tell from the pictures, the nylon straps are held onto the side of the ball via metal snaps and there is an adjustable clasp closure. The ball itself is 2” long by 1 ¾” wide with 1 ¼” insertable length. For reference…it is slightly larger than a ping pong ball.

The clasp is the only thing about this product that I don’t like. It has to be threaded each time the gag is put on which makes it very easily (unavoidably) adjustable, but can be somewhat annoying and cumbersome. My thinking is that the only reason one would need an enclosure type that needs to be adjusted every single time is if you are with several different partners quite frequently. For someone using it on the same person most of the time, it seems like a clasp like on a bike helmet or Timbuk 2 messenger bag would be easier to manage. You’d have to adjust it once and then you could just clip it shut.

You're a bad girl, shut u-oh..hold on...effing strap...damn it...THERE. Shit.

That is a relatively small complaint though. This is still a very well made and easy to use product.

I have used cloth for gags in the past, but generally the consensus amongst myself and lovers has been to let me have free use of my mouth. It may have something to do with how much I enjoy kissing and biting, or my propensity for being loud and saying barely coherent things (can you say, “ego boost”?). I don’t know, and I don’t really care. However, I do enjoy having things put into my mouth – forcefully (though consensual) or not – and I have long wanted to try a ball gag.

So why has it taken this long to get my hands on one? No, it’s not because I’m a starving artist in training. It’s because I have problems with my jaw, which can make chewing, blowing dick, or dentist visits painful. I do all of these things anyway, so of course trying out a ball gag was an option, it was just a matter of finding the right one to start with. My poor, spoiled little bitch mouth needs to take a baby step, not a leap.

And baby step we did! The Basic Breathe-Easy ball gag is not very large, comfortable, and easy to use. Oh, and it doesn’t smell or taste bad. It’ll stay that way provided that you clean it properly, which should be easy peasy because the gag itself is silicone. If you’ve been reading our reviews, you know that silicone is amazingly easy to clean – boil it for about 10 minutes or put it in your dishwasher’s top rack without soap. As for the nylon, metal, and plastic straps that you may get saliva on, wash with with soap and hot water in the sink. No big deal.

The reason I’m telling you all of this personal information is because I’d like you to understand that if you’re coming from a similar perspective, for whatever reason, then this ball gag is probably your perfect gateway gag. Beginners, mild BDSM-ers, TMJ-ers, and those with sensitive gag reflexes or prone to colds and congestion. No excuses! Gag yourself before I harmless internet threat all over you! Raawwwwwww!!!!
