How to Put On a Ball Gag
Whenever you’re ready to put the ball gag on, you’ll both be excited for the added sensations after getting each other stirred up with some light kinky play!
So how do you actually put it on when the time comes?
The easiest way is to make the sub put the ball in their mouth (behind their teeth) first. When the ball is secured, the Dom can fasten the strap aroud their head.
- Right fit – Make sure the ball is not too big for the wearer. It will have to go behind their teeth and will restrict their breathing. Start small with beginner ball gags or breathable ball gag!
- Secure – When fastening the strap, don’t make it too tight for comfort for the wearer, but if it’s too loose, you risk the ball falling out mid-play. Balance is key!
- Constant supervision – A golden rule during any sort of bondage play is to never leave your sub unattended while they’re being restrained. you never know when they would feel uncomfortable or an emergency will occur!

- Teasing questions – Your sub will obviously be unable to speak while wearing the gag. If it’s their first time wearing one, it might be fun to show them just how little they have to say. Ask them questions, you know they won’t be able answer to tease them. Ask them about what they want you to do to them and how it feels!
- Provoke muffled moans – You might want to continue your little kinky “foreplay” and see how your sub reacts to a little spanking, hair pulling, or even more direct stimulation.

How to Take Off a Ball Gag and Clean it
Alright, so you’re done with all of your teasing, playing, gagging, and you’re ready to take off the ball gag.
Easy does it…
Open the strap or harness and slowly let your sub release the ball from their mouth. Now, an important step of properly using ball gag is providing good aftercare.
Your sub’s jaw might be sore after your session. They might be cold and need a blanket after potentially being tied up. You both might need to reconnect physically and emotionally after experimenting with a new dynamic.
Massage your sub’s jaw and face, get warm under the covers, and have a cuddle and talk about what you liked (or disliked) about your session. These could be great ways to provide proper aftercare to your partner after kinkier sessions!
Cleaning & Care
Drool and sweat may very well have soiled your ball gag after the first use – understandably so! And, of course, it’s important to keep any sex accessories you have nice and clean after every use!
The cleaning and care of all gags very much depend on the materials and design. Provided the ball is made from non-porous materials like silicone, metal, glass, or ABS plastic, you can easily wash it with warm water and a mild soap or any sex toy cleaner!
The strap will often by made of nylon or leather. Both can be gently wiped down with a damp cloth. Leave all components to dry completely before storing your ball gag in compartment that protects it from dust and lint.
Now it’s all clean and ready to go for the next time you feel the urge to sexily silence your sub!
