I chose the Sincerely Lace Bit Gag by Sportsheets as the “Test Winner” for a few different reasons, with the main one being approachability. When trying out something new, it can be hard to justify spending a lot of money. Fortunately, since this cleave gag is budget-friendly, pretty much anyone can comfortably fit it into their budget. The gag itself measures 53 inches long and is tied in place on the wearer’s head. This simple design may not be the most elegant solution, but—for first-timers—it’s a non-intimidating and easy-to-understand option. The floral lace is also a nice touch, as it helps add a bit of value to the gag. Although the gag costs slightly more than I’d say it’s worth, I still think the product is versatile enough to justify the sub-$20 price tag.

Sex & Mischief Silky Bit Gag

 Silky Bit Gag

  • Love silk
  • Are new to bondage
  • Need a removable bit gag

Silky Bit Gag

  • Already own a few gags
  • Are allergic to silk
  • Don’t like the clear bit

Prefer silk over lace? If so, then the Sex & Mischief Silky Bit Gag is the one for you! This simple cleave gag is comfy to wear and easy to use, making it an excellent option for users of all levels. Despite being soft to the touch, this gag is still fairly durable, allowing it to handle frequent use without breaking down. Prefer the bit-less approach instead? No problem! The bit gag easily slides off, allowing you to use the sash by itself for a different gagging experience (or for restraining play!). Affordable, adjustable, and hand washable, this gag is a great option for fans of soft silk!

  • Bit gag is removable
  • Hand washable
  • Beginner-friendly
  • Fits any size

  • No color options
  • Expensive for what it is
Silky Bit Gag
MaterialsPolyester
AdjustableYes
AllergiesLatex & phthalate-free

Being an extremely budget-friendly option, the Silky Bit Gag easily earned the “Cheapest” mention on this list. That said, being affordable isn’t the only benefit that this gag can offer! As with the other cleave gag toys, the Silky Bit Gag is completely adjustable, allowing it to be used on literally any head size. It’s fairly comfortable as well, thanks to the soft silk material used. The bit can be removed if you just want to use the sash by itself, and the toy can even be hand washed. Really, the only thing that lets this toy down is its lack of visual appeal. The sash itself is plain black, free of any patterns, and the bit gag is clear. Neither part really offers any “sex appeal”. Still, if the simplistic design doesn’t bother you then this gag could be a good option. Easy to use and extremely affordable, the Sex & Mischief Silky Bit Gag is at least an option worth considering!

3 Bar Gag

Scandal Bar Gag (One Size)

 Scandal Bar Gag

  • Like the coloring
  • Need an adjustable gag
  • Enjoy embroidered designs

Scandal Bar Gag

  • Hate PVC
  • Don’t like red
  • Want the cheapest option

Are you looking for a cleave gag that just screams luxury? In that case, the Scandal Bar Gag is the gag for you! This black and red gag offers much more visual appeal than the two other options we’ve looked at. The entire strap is covered in an embroidered floral pattern, hinting at romance and sexy times to come. As with the other options, this gag is completely adjustable and long enough to fit most heads. Take a step up from basic-looking gags and treat yourself to something premium with the Scandal Bar Gag!

  • Phthalate-free
  • Double-padded
  • Double-stitched
  • Adjustable

  • Over $30
  • No color options
Scandal Bar Gag
MaterialsPolyester, PVC
Length53 inches
AdjustableYes
AllergiesPhthalate-free

I chose the Scandal Bar Gag as my “Bar Gag” choice because it’s an excellent example of the level of quality you’d want from this type of toy. Visually, this cleave gag has a lot more to offer than your basic gags. The gag bar is black, rather than the clear bars used on cheaper options. The ties are double-stitched, double-padded, and made from designer fabric, making them both look & feel premium. Some potential customers may be wary, as the bar itself is made from PVC. Fortunately, the PVC used here is phthalate-free so you can use this product without worry. The only thing that may dissuade you from picking up the Scandal Bar Gag is the price, which is nearly twice as much as the cheapest options out there. However, I’d argue that this price is worth it. You end up with a much higher level of quality, meaning the toy will last longer and be more comfortable to use. If your sex life frequently involves gags then I think the Scandal Bar Gag is a product worth investing in!

How to Make Your Own Cleave Gag

Making your very own cleave gag isn’t very hard. Actually, there are a few items you may already have around your house that can be used as cleave gags. Even better? Not having to buy a new toy will save you money! Here are a few household items you can use as a cleave gag:
  • A neckerchief
  • A scarf
  • A tie
  • A cut-off sleeve from a long-sleeve shirt
  • A strip of leftover fabric
You really don’t need much to make a simple cleave gag, just a piece of fabric that’s long enough to comfortably tie it around your partner’s head! We do not recommend making your own sex toys and always recommend that you purchase purpose-made sex toys from a reputable shop. We are in no way responsible for any harm caused due to the use or sharing of these DIYs. You are 100% responsible for the outcome should you choose to make your own sex toys.

How to Use a Cleave Gag

Using a cleave gag is quite easy, even for complete beginners! Still, just in case you’re still wary of the process, I’ve written a short guide below that outlines the process.   As a reminder, you and your partner should establish a “safe movement”, which works in place of a safe word. This will enable the gagged person to communicate issues, despite their mouth being tagged.

Check Your Gag

Check Your Gag

With basically all sex toys, it’s a good idea to check your equipment before using it. In this case, we’re checking for two things: damage and cleanliness! You’ll be able to determine both of these things just by looking at the gag. If damaged, replace it. Similarly, if it’s dirty, clean it!

Place the Bit

Place the Bit

Have your partner put the bit in their mouth (or place it in there yourself!). Make sure it’s centered when they hold it, as you don’t really want to have to adjust it after you tie the gag. Alternatively, just have them center the sash in their mouth if you’ve decided to not use the bit.

Secure the Gag

Secure the Gag

Grab both ends of the gag and begin to tie it around your partner’s head. They should loosen their jaw slightly at this point, allowing the bit to move as you tighten it. Tighten and tie the gag, then adjust as necessary.

How to Clean

As fairly simple toys, it only makes sense that cleave gags are also extremely easy to clean! If your particular gag has a bit made from silicone then it’s possible to sterilize this by dropping it into a pot of boiling water for five minutes. However, in most cases, your only option will be to use warm water and antibacterial soap. Clean once with water and soap, then wash away any leftover soap using water only. Pay the gag down using a towel, and leave it out to air dry completely before storing it away. Never store a gag away while it’s still wet, as the leftover moisture will encourage bacterial growth!
