Ball Gag Question

[luckywild]

Forgive me if this is a stupid or obvious question, but my girlfriend and I have recently started experimenting with light bondage and we are very much noobs.

The idea of using a ball gag is a huge turn for her, so we went out and got one this past weekend. As excited as she is to use it, she can't stand the taste of the rubber. I must admit it has a chalky/rubbery taste and I can see how that would be a major turn off.

So my question is: what can we do to make the ball gag taste better? Is there a different brand out there that we should try instead? I'm hoping someone on here will be able to help us out!

Thanks!

Not experienced in this regard, would washing it or spraying it some kind of scent would take the rubber taste out of her mouth? (no pun intended)

EDIT: Welcome to the site. (Have you thought about using other gags, btw?)

Instead of a nasty tasting ball gag...

I understand her quandry. I prefer cleaned, soft bandanas. They not only make handy, non-distasteful (I just made upo that word, lol) gags but if you just happen to have a few more with you they can be used for other light bondage purposes as well. I have also cut appropriate lengths of clothes line and laundered them till they are soft and brought them along to the party.
Sigh, just thinking about it...

i have found that NOTHING will make a rubber ball gag taste good. No matter how much you wash it etc...the rubber taste comes back.


Is she attached to the idea of the ball gag itself? Or could you possibly experiment with other types of gags?

Thinking about this some more...

Would wrapping the rubber ball in saran wrap do? It would probably take the rubber taste away.

EDIT: The things I think of on my time off.

But Saran Wrap can come loose and pose a choking/suffocation hazard.... That would be my concern.

 

[TerragonSix]

True, that wouldn't be too good of an idea.

What kinds of gags do you use hottie?

 

[Evil_Geoff]

Try wrapping the ball with a handkerchief.

You can wrap it in saran wrap then seal the saran wrap with a bit of packing tape or hotmelt glue, or if you have a heat sealer, use that.

Use a NON-Rubber ball gag.

Use a hard plastic ball of the same size, poke a hole or slit through it and use a boot string or cat/dog collar to secure it...Wiffle balls make great gags!

Hope those ideas help!

PS: Hottie, if the saran wrap comes undone enough to pose a choking/suffocating danger, _someone_ isn't paying anywhere near enough attention to what's going on with their partner... n'est pas?

"ball gag", lol, is such a comical term.

I totally hear it being said by Mrs. Eulalie Mackecknie Shinn, in exactly the same tones she uses to pronounce "Baa-a-a-ll-zac!" in The Music Man.

Question: Is it the jelly rubber stuff, like this or the "genuine" rubber kind, like this? The reason I ask is that the jelly ones are a lot more horrible-tasting than the plain old, regular rubber. I believe there are silicone gags, though I imagine they're more expensive. Silicone is basically tasteless, though.

 

[rosco rathbone]

Someone needs to invent a gag that will well and truly silence the noises made by someone being soundly thrashes with a strop in an apartment.

 

[TerragonSix]

I don't think the jelly ones would have a 'chalky' taste, so I would have to assume it would be the regular rubber one. But you never know.

True. I skimmed the first post 'cause I'm a lazy-ass. That's what I get for not reading the whole thing.

Huh. You wait for awhile, the topic will come up without having to create it yourself. lol

I've never actually used a ball gag, but had improvised a few times with rubber toy balls, and found out I hate the taste of rubber. Next time (someday....) I'll prolly end up using something even more improvised, like a towel or something, see if that's any better.

But any suggestions about this would, of course, be appreciated... what kind do you use, HottieMama?

i am by no means an authority on the practical application of gags. LOL

i have a standard rubber ball gag. The taste doesn't bother me enough to not want to use it. i have also used my own panties, rope, or a dildo.

 

[jadefirefly]

I'm pretty sure that I've seen this question come up quite a while ago and read the thread with probably a bit too much curiosity. The general consensus was that a silicone gag has no taste and was the best choice. If you've just bought a new one, though, being told to get another isn't always a great option.

I think Geoff's ideas might help... try wrapping it in Saran Wrap *first*, then covering it with something like a bandana or handkerchief to ensure the wrap doesn't tear or slip. It might make a toy that ought to be fun a little less yucky!

 

[luckywild]

Thanks everyone for the suggestions!

The g/f is out of town for a couple of weeks, so it gives me some time to mess around and see if I can't put something togeather. If I can, she's in for one hell (can you say hell on these boards?) of a night when she gets back

Try this everyone loves leather.

 

[Blushing Bottom]

Working on that. I make a bit of noise when getting a sound thrashing and live in an apartment. I'll keep ya posted.

Never used a ball gag so I can't help much on this one. I do have to say that I love the image of glossy red lips gagged with a ball gag. Just something about that is so sexy! Too bad my wife is the dominate in our relationship. I don't think she'd ever go for me gagging her. heehee.

 

[northwoods_sub]

We use a golfing wiffle ball with a leather thong threaded through for the tie. This works wonderfully. There is no taste, it gives the ability to breathe through the gag (especially handy if she starts crying and her nose gets plugged up!), it still muffles the sound and you you still get that wonderfully humiliating drool going on.

Fun is had by all!!
