7 Best BDSM Bit Gags In 2024, Reviewed by a BDSM Educator

Nothing tops Stockroom’s Silicone Bit Gag for the most expertly made, finely crafted, perfectly designed, safest, and most versatile bit gag. Every part of this mind-blowingly enjoyable product screams excellence. I promise if you get one of these fantastic gags, your slave won’t be screaming anything and have an amazing time not being able to. Yes, it’s that good and well worth its title as the highest-rated BDSM bit gag money can buy—and you absolutely should.

Why You Should Trust Us

Few people have done as much kinky stuff as I have. From swinging canes and floggers to being on the receiving end of them, not forgetting everything imaginable when it comes to kink, power exchange play, and more, I’ve done it all.

Not only that but for more than thirty years, I’ve been writing about it; whether it’s penning erotic stories and novels or reporting on next-generation smart vibrators, I’m your go-to person for educational and hopefully entertaining information on sex and kink. Put all of this together, and who else could deliver this guide to this year’s highest-rated BDSM bit gags?

How We Picked The Products

My band of dedicated sex toy testers and I put a lot of work into selecting all these gags. But even we need some help now and again, which is why the following five-point criteria proved invaluable when narrowing the field down quite a bit and, as you’ll soon find out, can make buying your own much easier.

• Manufacture: The first thing I looked at was if a product was crafted by kink-community-approved and world-famous manufacturers like The Stockroom, Extreme Restraints, SheVibe, or Lovehoney. Say what you want about kinksters, but they know a good toy when they see it, so when they say a manufacturer is great, you can rest assured their bit gag will be high quality.
• Material: Similarly, companies such as Extreme Restraints, SheVibe, Lovehoney, or The Stockroom know not just how to make fine products but what to make them out of. Each of them understands the importance of using the right latex, steel, or silicone so their bit gags will be durable, comfortable, safe, and a pleasure to use.
• Design: Bit gags may look like they’d be easy to design, but they require years of toy-making expertise and hundreds of hours of hands-on experience to design superior products like these seven review samples.
• Safety: Most importantly, bit gags must be designed and manufactured to reduce the wearer’s risk of injury. It’s also why you should never, as in never, use it in a manner not recommended by the manufacturer. It’s especially true because while most world-famous companies put a huge amount of effort into making their products safe, they cannot account for every contingency like you not using their bit gag correctly.
• Versatility: I awarded a bonus point or two to models made to handle a range of different activities instead of just one. I also made a point of listing ones that can be attached to extra BDSM accessories. However, I didn’t penalize single-purpose bit gags for their lack of versatility because there’s nothing wrong with a specialized sex toy.

I began my search for the test samples by checking out the dozen best-selling ones. After sending them along to my test of sex toy testers, I used the above criteria to narrow them down to ten contenders. My next step was to see what my hand-picked kink experts and sexologists thought of them, specifically if they were pleasurable, comfortable, and safe.

During testing, we rated each test criterion on a percentage scale from 0% (Worst) to 100% (Best). We then calculated the overall score using different weighted metrics depending on the importance of the test criteria. Half the total rating comes from Manufacture (25%) and Safety (25%). After that comes Design (10%), Materials (10%), and Versatility (10%).

Finally, I spent considerable time seeing what the Internet thought of them, with special attention to online reviews from people who bought and played with them. The result of all this painstaking research is this year’s seven best bit gags.

1. The Stockroom’s Silicone Bit Gag: Overall Test Winner!

Why I Love The Stockroom’s Silicone Bit Gag:

No top list would be complete without at least something from the masters of all things kinky, The Stockroom. Famed through the BDSM community for creating fine leather gear, when they make something, you know it’ll be durable, comfortable, exciting, and especially as safe as possible. All of which are on full display with their top-tier and the winner of my premium  award.

Fully adjustable and crafted from the finest, vegan-approved, easy-to-clean body-safe silicone and nickel-plated steel, zinc, and brass buckle and fittings, The Stockroom’s Silicone Bit Gag sets a new gold standard for fetish gear.

Minor Issues I Found During Testing:

My team of highly knowledgeable sex toy testers and I spent days racking our kinky brains trying to think of something, anything we didn’t like about The Stockroom’s Silicone Bit Gag.

Ultimately, all we could think of was more colors than black. Yes, I know it’s a minor quibble, but trust me when I say it demonstrates how brilliantly made, skillfully crafted, and enjoyable The Stockroom’s Silicone Bit Gag is.

Why The Stockroom’s Silicone Is The Best BDSM Bit Gag:

At first glance, this silicone gag may look, and let’s be honest here, not especially fancy—if downright simple. But though it doesn’t have a lot of fetish-related bells and whistles, its deceptively basic design belies the decades of experience The Stockroom put into this incredible silicone model.

Made all the better because The Stockroom didn’t just spend all those years making kinky sex toys but playing with them, so when it came to crafting bit gags and everything else, they knew they should and must be safe, arousing, and versatile.

But there’s even more to love and admire about The Stockroom’s Silicone Bit Gag:

• Manufacture: No corner was cut; nothing was left to chance when The Stockroom made this silicone gag. Every aspect of its construction is impressive, more so because it’s durable yet phenomenally comfortable to wear.
• Material: Right along with The Stockroom being so well versed in how to make the finest toys know precisely what to make them out of. Their Silicone Bit Gag is no exception, as it’s formed from high-quality everything—with even its metal buckle and fittings made from nickel-plated brass, steel, and zinc.
• Design: We ranked the design better than the other products we tested. Though The Stockroom’s Silicone Bit Gag appears to be less-than-sophisticated, it’s actually the product of years of sex toy-making expertise. The moment you hold it in your hand, you’ll understand what I’m talking about, further reinforced when you put it through all of its kinky paces.
• Safety: More than anything else, The Stockroom understands kinky toys must be, first and foremost, safe to use. While no fetish product can ever be completely risk-free, they’ve done their best to ensure you’ll be able to use this silicone gag for a long time without injuring yourself or anyone else.

Features:

• Material: Body Safe Silicone, Nickel-Plated Brass, Zinc, Buckle, And Steel Fittings
• Measurements: The Strap And Buckle Are Easy To Adjust From 15″ – 21″. The Big Gag’s Diameter Is .75″. The Bit Gag’s Total Length Is 4″.
• Colors: Black And Silver

Pros:

• The Stockroom is one of the kink community’s most respected and admired manufacturers of amazing sex toys.
• It’s made from premium silicone with nickel-plated metal buckles and fittings.

2. DOMINIX Deluxe Leather Bit Gag: Budget Pick

Why I Love The DOMINIX Deluxe Leather Bit Gag:

Here’s an excellent pick for anyone looking to save a few dollars and have a well-made leather bit gag. From Lovehoney, the fetish experts kinksters know and love, their DOMINIX Deluxe Leather Bit Gag has everything you’ll ever want or need but at half or less the price.

For only $29.99, this comfortable and exciting gag has a lot to offer experienced leather enthusiasts and novices. Crafted from high-quality leather, aside from its metal fittings, of course, the DOMINIX Deluxe Leather is fully adjustable, totally comfortable, and comes equipped with a pair of metal o rings if you want other things attached to it—and the submissive that’s lucky enough to wear it.

Minor Issues I Found During Testing:

The only downside to DOMINIX Deluxe Leather is what it’s made from. Don’t get me wrong, leather gear can be amazing, but it also requires far more care than artificial materials like latex, or silicone.

But if you’re willing to put in a little extra effort, this affordable and enjoyable bit gag will surely be you and your submissive partner’s most cherished you for years to come.

Why The DOMINIX Deluxe Leather Bit Gag Is Our Budget Pick:

Normally leather gear is much more expensive than your average plastic, latex, or silicone ones. Imagine my surprise when I found a fine-crafted, superbly designed, and 100% leather bit gag for less than $30.

But high-quality, low-cost, and thoroughly enjoyable aren’t the only things I like about this model:

• Material: There are run-of-the-mill leather hacks, and then there are fine leather bit gags, and the DOMINIX Deluxe Leather is hands-down the latter. You’d think Lovehoney would have gone with less-than-great leather for this entertaining and arousing bit gag, but you’d be mistaken because it feels, tastes, and smells like a fetish’s wet dream.
• Design: Another reason why it stands out from the rest, aside from its low price, is its brilliant design. From its mouthpiece to the perfectly placed genuine leather straps, the DOMINIX Deluxe Leather is obviously the product of people who love them as much as you do.

Features:

• Material: Leather, Metal Fittings
• Measurements: Simple To Adjust From 14.5″ – 23″.
• Colors: Black And Silver

Pros:

• It’s an astounding well-made, fully soft leather bit gag made all the better by its impressively low price.
• It’s the perfect choice for experienced kinksters, novices, or anyone looking to save money.
• Its strap is easily adjustable and attached to a leash.

Cons:

• Soft leather bit gags require more careful maintenance than silicone or latex ones.

3. Scott Paul’s Half Moon Bit Gag: Premium Pick

Why I Love Scott Paul’s Half Moon Bit Gag:

Ask anyone in the scene, and they’ll tell you The Stockroom makes some of the finest kink and fetish gear. But ask The Stockroom, who creates many of the wildest, highest-quality, and undoubtedly most outrageous kinky playthings, and they’ll tell you it’s Scott Paul.

So when Scott Paul made his Half Moon Bit Gag, you know the kink community, the folks at The Stockroom, and everyone even the least bit kinky was itching to get their hands on it. Calling Scott Paul’s Half Moon a premium fetish experience is an understatement. Wearing this ferociously intense yet wonderfully comfortable bit gag will turn you on like nothing before or since. Simply one of the best BDSM sex toys you can treat yourself with.

Minor Issues I Found During Testing:

With kink gear or anything else, quality costs money. So while you may balk at Scott Paul’s Half Moon’s $169 price tag, trust it’s a small price to pay for one of the finest BDSM gear you’ll ever use.

Why Scott Paul’s Half Moon Bit Gag Is Our Luxury Pick:

The Stockroom and Scott Paul aren’t only known for making your and everyone else’s wildest fetish dreams a reality but for creating the highest-quality and elegantly designed products in the world.

Because of that, it wasn’t—as in at all-difficult to choose Scott Paul’s Half Moon as my premium bit gag for this list.

But why stop there? The truth is that’s just the tip of the kinky iceberg of why Scott Paul’s Half Moon Bit Gag is the highest-rated there is:

• Design: Scott Paul doesn’t merely create fetish equipment; he reaches into the deepest, hottest, most outrageously kinky part of himself and brings forth a marvel of kink engineering. Case in point is his Half Moon Bit Gag, designed from the ground up to enable bondage enthusiasts to bring their wildest fantasies to life.
• Versatility: Built with variability in mind, Scott Paul’s Half Moon can handle nearly everything you can throw at it. Want to tow your slave around by the mouth? All you need to do is clip a leash to it, and off you go! This one is like a dozen or more in one elegant, comfortable package.

What Is A BDSM Bit Gag?

A BDSM bit gag is a piece of bondage equipment designed and manufactured so that when the wearer holds it between their teeth, they cannot speak. They come in diverse styles, sometimes including extra attachments like BDSM blindfolds, nipple clamps, ear muffs, extra-secure straps, and more.

Bit gags are also made from various materials, like silicone, latex, rubber, leather, and metal. Most are adjustable to accommodate most people’s heads and mouths. If you are interested in bit gags, I recommend purchasing them only from community-approved companies such as Extreme Restraints, The Stockroom, SheVibe, or Lovehoney. Otherwise, you risk buying a poorly made and possibly even dangerous one.

But Why Should I Use One?

There are many excellent reasons why you may want to play with a BDSM bit gag. Of them all, one of the most popular within the community is their use in power exchange scenes to restrict a slave from speaking. Unlike ball gags, which may interfere with the wearer’s ability to breathe, bit gags are much safer to use.

Pro tip: If you have extra cash, you can also get a BDSM collar. It complements bit gags(for some obvious reasons) and really enhances animal play. If that interests you, here are the best BDSM collars we ranked.

Another reason why bit gags are so popular is the person wearing one is often able to communicate—at least much easier than if they were wearing a ball gag. They are also a great choice for people who like to clomp down when sexually aroused. It’s something that’s not a good idea when playing with a ball gag because doing so may be painful or injure the wearer’s teeth. Some other good alternatives are ring gags and spider gags as they don’t hinder one’s breathing. You can explore the best ring gags (AKA open-mouth gags), panel gags, and spider gags we reviewed by clicking their respective links.

How To Use A Bit Gag?

Though they are considerably safer to play with than bit gags, this doesn’t mean they should be used incorrectly or recklessly. Before you do anything, talk about everything you and your partner want to do, don’t like, and may enjoy if aroused enough. Leave no negotiation stone unturned because all it takes is a slight miscommunication for a scene to go wrong.

It’s also why communication shouldn’t ever end. By staying in constant contact, you can say when you need a break or want everything to stop immediately. The problem is while they aren’t as speech-restrictive as other gags, they still may make talking difficult. Fortunately, there’s a simple way for the person wearing it to let their partner know they need something. All it takes is for them to hold a small object they can let go of to signal their partner they need to talk.

Even so, never leave someone wearing a bit gag alone for a second. If you do, you increase the chance something bad could happen. So stay with your partner no matter what, and at the first sign of trouble, immediately remove it or provide anything they may require.

If you’re new to bit gags, I strongly recommend taking things very slowly as in not using one for more than a few minutes at a time. Even if you think things are going well, it doesn’t hurt to remove the gag every now and again just to make sure.  Remember, safe words aren’t just for submissives.  If you’re dominant and something doesn’t feel right or if you find yourself worrying whether or not your partner is in distress, then use your safe word.  It’s always better to be safe rather than sorry, especially during BDSM play.

How To Clean a Bit Gag?

The most important thing to remember when maintaining a bit gag is that the company who made it knows how to do it correctly and safely. That’s why you shouldn’t attempt to clean it without first checking in with the site or person you bought it from and following their instructions to the letter. On the off chance that information is unavailable, contact the seller before trying to wash yours. Failure to do so increases the likelihood that your ill-informed attempt will damage your bit gag or expose your partner to dangerous toxic chemicals.

Only if you cannot find anything about maintaining your bit gag should you try cleaning it yourself. However, this is not an excuse to use too much soap, sex toy cleaning solution, or anything else. Instead, use a very small amount of mild soap followed by a thorough rinse in warm water and drying with a lint-free cloth. Read the full guide on how to clean your bit gag here.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

How Does A BDSM Bit Gag Work?

Typically, bit gags are a length of soft material like rubber, latex, silicon, vegan leather, or occasionally real leather affixed to an adjustable strap so the bit is positioned to where the wearer can comfortably chomp down on it.

Most commonly, they are equipped with a buckle or sometimes several in addition to a strap or two which allows them to be either finely adjusted or made extra-secure. Velcro is also sometimes used, as are other features such as masks, nipple clamps, or other fetish accessories that can be attached to it.

What Does A Bit Gag Look Like?

Bit gags typically resemble mouth bondage devices such as ball gags but instead feature a pliant rod the person wearing it can bite down onto. While there are numerous varieties, they tend to resemble the harnesses used for horses. But, of course, there are differences as well, like how they may also come with kinky accessories like nipple clamps or are designed for specific fetish play scenes.

How To Properly Wear A Bit Gag?

To make sure you buy a bit gag that’ll fit properly, first, measure the head of the person wearing it and then only purchase something made to fit you or your partner’s mouth. Adjustable models may make the process easier, but not so much that you shouldn’t measure beforehand to make sure you don’t end up with a bit gag that’s too big or too small.

Are Bit Gags Safe?

Yes. Bit gags are safe when used correctly [3]. If not, you risk seriously injuring the person wearing it. That’s why you shouldn’t ever do anything not recommended by your manufacturer. However, I also recommend taking hands-on safety classes from qualified experts because you cannot learn too much when talking about kink and safety.

If you’re a beginner and you want something less risky, we would suggest using BDSM masks or BDSM hoods instead, as they are much safer options but still give you that BDSM excitement.

How To Store A Bit Gag?

The most effective way to store a bit gag is to place it in a cool, dry place where it won’t be exposed to direct sunlight. Silicone models should also be kept in a plastic bag to keep them free from dust and hair—which can make wearing them decidedly unpleasant. More about storing your BDSM sex toys in this guide.

How To Make A Bit Gag?

While some kinksters may enjoy creating their own gear, and bit gags aren’t as dangerous as other fetish devices, I still feel it’s better to buy a finely made and guaranteed safe one rather than risking your playmates or partners by trying to make your own.

What Size Bit Gag Should I Buy?

Just as there’s no universally standard human head, there’s no single perfect-sized bit gag. With that in mind, measure your noggin before beginning your bit gag shopping expedition. Arms with this info, you can select the perfect bit gag for you or whoever you enjoy playing with’s mouth [3].

What Is The Best Material For A BDSM Bit Gag?

If you are allergic to latex or rubber, a leather or natural bit gag may be best. But if you want something easier to clean and maintain, perhaps a rubber, latex, or silicone will suit your liking. The point is only you can say what’s the ideal material for you. So take your time and think as much as you can before buying a bit gag for you or your slave.
