Above, I mentioned that this ball gag can be enjoyed by users of all levels. That’s exactly why I selected this toy as the “Test Winner”! Whereas many beginner ball gags run small and the more advanced options can be too much for intermediate users, the mid-range size of this ball gag means that anyone will be able to pick it up and use it. Beyond sizing, the build quality of this toy is pretty good overall. True, it doesn’t use genuine leather, but the faux leather does a good job at maintaining appearances nonetheless. The gag itself is made from silicone, which is always a plus. The gag is also fully adjustable by using the hole and buckle system. While I probably wouldn’t recommend this to people who are looking for a gag that will truly test their limits, I think most people who are interested in this item will be happy with it.

Costing less than $10 at full price (and currently on sale for less than $7!), the Bondage Boutique Beginners Small Ball Gag easily earned the “Cheapest” award from the items on this list. Of course, being cheap isn’t always a good thing. So, what—if any—corners did Bondage Boutique cut to get this price so low? Well, a few, so let’s go over them. The ball itself is fine, made out of silicone and providing the premium experience you’d expect. It is fairly small since it’s sized for beginners, but this isn’t necessarily a bad thing. However, the strap seems to be where the company cheaped out. Being made from nylon and looking extremely budget, this is the major—and only—downside of this ball gag. Still, if you’re just looking for functionality alone, this ball gag works fine. I wouldn’t recommend it for more experienced users, but complete newcomers are sure to appreciate this pick!

Fortunately, there are more beginner-friendly options available, such as the Boundless Breathable Silicone Ball Gag! This vegan-friendly, breathable ball gag is perfect for inexperienced users. Fully adjustable up to a maximum diameter of 8.11” and fitted with a 1.5” ball, you won’t have any trouble getting this gag to fit just right. Don’t let inner fears prevent you from giving gag play a try. Instead, try out this non-intimidating ball gag for yourself!
- Breathable design

| Breathable Silicone Ball Gag | |
|---|---|
| Materials | Silicone, diamond PU, polyester, nickel-free iron, nickel-free zin alloy |
| Diameter (internal) | (Harness) Up to 8.11 inches |
| Diameter | (Ball) 1.5 inches |
| Adjustable | Yes |
| Fastening | Buckle |
| Allergies | Nickel-free |
With a ball diameter of 1.5”, this ball gag is the perfect size for beginners. The fact that it’s a breathable model just makes it all the more beginner-friendly! Build-wise, the toy does fairly well. The ball itself is made from silicone. However, the strap is made from polyester, which could cause an allergic reaction in some individuals. On the plus side, both the iron and zinc alloy used for the ball gag are nickel-free! Everything else is pretty standard, with the gag being fully adjustable and secured using a buckle. Sadly, the buckle can’t be locked, but this is probably not a huge issue given the intended end user. The main thing that may dissuade you from purchasing this toy is the price. Is it worth it? Well, that depends. If you don’t care one way or the other about the “breathable” feature then I would probably give this gag a pass. However, if having a “breathable” ball gag is essential for you then I would recommend giving this toy a try!

Basic Ball Gag Safety Tips
Before we wrap things up, let’s just go over a few basic ball gag safety tips. The first one is very important: wash your ball gag after every use! Failing to do so can cause bacterial buildup, which might make you sick. Another important thing to remember is communication. Since a ball gag severely limits communication, you and your partner will need to come up with a safe signal, rather than using a safe word. Any movement that you can do with a ball gag in your mouth will work, so long as both you & your partner are aware of it. Beyond that, avoid leaving a gagged person on their own, and don’t use a ball gag when you’re sick (unless it’s a breathable model)!How to Use a Small Ball Gag
Using a small ball gag is just like using a larger ball gag. Still, if you’ve never used one before then you might not be familiar with the process. Let’s go over it!
Inspect Your Gag
Now is a good time to look over your gag and inspect it for damages. You should become relatively familiar with it, noting both the size of the ball, any indentations it may have, and the strap system. If everything checks out then you can move on to the next step.
Place the Gag in Your Mouth
With the ball in your mouth, you’ll now need to attach the straps behind your head. It’s possible to do this yourself, but it’s much easier to have a partner do this for you.
Adjust as Needed
Once you have the gag on your head, you may need to do some final adjustments. Adjust the gag until it’s perfectly in place then enjoy some sexy kink play with your new small ball gag!
How to Clean a Small Ball Gag
It’s quite easy to clean a small ball gag! In fact, you’ll only need antibacterial soap and a bit of warm water. Clean the toy once using soap and water, then wash away any remaining soap using water only. Alternatively, if your gag is made completely from silicone (or the ball itself is detachable) then you can also sterilize the toy by dropping it into a pot of boiling water for a minimum of five minutes. After you’re done with the cleaning and/or sterilization of your toy, it’s time to pat it dry. Get it as dry as you can, then leave it out to air dry to completion. Always wait until your toy is completely dry before storing it away to prevent bacterial buildup!
