4 Best Spider Gags In 2024, Reviewed by a BDSM Educator

When it comes to making premium quality BDSM equipment, no company is better at it than the experts of all things kinky, The Stockroom. So when they make one, you know it will be the highest-rated spider gag. Brilliantly crafted from super high-quality leather and premium-grade steel and designed to be effective and comfortable when attached, the Stockroom’s Spider Gag is safe, pleasurable, and impressively versatile.

Why You Should Trust Us

Hi, I am M.Christian. After spending more than a decade trying out, and mostly enjoying, practically every kinky toy in existence, there’s no one more qualified to write about spider gags.

But even I know when to call in the reserves, like my team of qualified sex toy testers, leather enthusiasts, and respected sexologists. Combined with my years as a sex tech journalist and erotic writer, this list is all you need to find the right product for you!

I also love hearing stories from my readers, so if you have questions, don’t hesitate to reach out. You can call me at +1 307-372-3895 or send an email to [email protected]—just make sure to include your name and contact information.

How We Picked The Products

You’d think choosing the perfect ring gag would be super easy. But while there aren’t as many different types of BDSM sex toys, selecting the great from the not-so-great can still be daunting.

But luck would have it; I’ve developed a tried and true method of winnowing the field down a bit. Using the following well-proven test criteria that we could measure on a scale from 0 to 100, my team of dedicated sex you testers and I have managed to pick these hands-down best spider gags:

• Manufacture: The top of my list is to ensure BDSM community-approved companies make all these Spider Gags—especially ones known for producing exceptionally crafted kinky playthings, bondage gear, or other toys. So when purchasing from The Stockroom, Extreme Restraints, Lovegasm, or TooTimid, you’ll always get the highest quality Spider Mask.
• Material: My next consideration is what those kink-community manufacturers used when making their Spider Gags. Whether made from soft leather, metal, latex, or anything else, it must be the highest grade possible. Doing so means their product will be durable but also safe and comfortable.
• Design: It takes a lot of skill, not to mention years of hands-on experience, to design an effective and pleasurable Spider Gag. I also limited my search to high-ranking and leather community-recognized manufacturers. Each of the ones on my list has repeatedly proven that they know everything there’s to know about making metal equipment or other toys—meaning their BDSM gear will be perfectly designed.
• Safety: More than anything, Spider Gags or any other piece of kink equipment should be as safe as possible. It’s a lesson The Stockroom, TooTimid, Lovegasm, and Extreme Restraints understand extremely well. It’s also something you and those you play with should always make the focus of everything you do.
• Versatility: Perhaps not a major thing to consider when searching for a model, but it’s worth noting when one is made to handle more than one kind of scene. Besides, having a multi-purpose Spider Mask means you won’t have to buy more than one if you like a variety of leather play activities.

My pursuit of the top BDSM spider gag began with the ten best-selling ones. Employing my special criteria, I reduced them down to eight potential winners. After passing them along to my team of sex toy testers and a couple of carefully selected leather pros and respected sexologists, I was left with six final contenders.

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 Safety (25%) and Design (25%). After that comes Manufacture (10%), Material (10%), and Versatility (10%).

1. Stockroom’s Spider Gag: Our Overall Test Winner!

Why I Love The Stockroom’s Spider Gag:

More than well-deserving, its place at the top of this list is the only amazing Spider Gag from The Stockroom. Unlike many retailers, The Stockroom’s products—no less their phenomenally impressive Spider Gag—aren’t mass-produced but made by hand. Founded in 1988, The Stockroom put their thirty-five years of crafting, perfecting, and enjoying everything kinky into giving us the best Spider Ring Gag.

From its stainless steel mouth section to its fully adjustable leather strap, The Stockroom is top-notch in all the ways that matter. Submissives will love how arousingly it keeps their mouth open and available. At the same time, dominants will get turned on by those positive features and how drop-dead sexy it looks.

Minor Issues I Found During Testing:

Reviewing The Stockroom’s many excellent kink-related products never fails to be at least somewhat awkward. Not that their stuff isn’t fantastic, which everything they made definite is, but trying to think of something, I may have an issue with it.

Their metal Spider Gag is no exception. If I had to say anything not necessarily bad but maybe not-so-great about this model, it’d be that some people find its steel mouthparts to be somewhat uncomfortable. But even that’s not exactly a negative, as lots of other kinksters enjoy the taste of steel.

Why Stockroom’s Spider Gag Is Our Overall Test Winner:

What’s not to like about this pinnacle of BDSM engineering and design? This one is my favorite compared to the dozens or perhaps a hundred gear I played with. Durable, effective, comfortable, sexy, and safe, it hits every box to deliver an exciting experience. But that barely scratches the surface regarding why I’m giving my blue ribbon, gold star, and overall best spider gag to the Stockroom:

• Manufacture: Ask anyone in the BDSM community, and they’ll tell you The Stockroom is their favorite kink-equipment manufacturer. It’s the highest praise anyone can give a company, as kinksters worldwide know how important high-quality sex toys are. The Stockroom’s dedication to giving their customers their highest quality products is up front and center with their Spider Gag.
• Material: The Stockroom put extra effort into crafting theirs from the highest-quality metal and elegantly supple leather they could find. Together they provide an extra-luxurious feel while giving it a brilliantly stylish appearance.
• Safety: The product was safer than the other products we tested. Give The Stockroom not a little but a lot of credit for saying up front their metal gag wasn’t made for oral pleasuring. As they put it, it was designed “for making your submissive drool.” It’s admirable because it shows The Stockroom cares about the safety and comfort of its customers above all else.

Features:

• Material: Leather And Stainless Steel.
• Measurements: The Gag Is 4″ Wide And 2.5″ High. The Diameter Of Its Inner Metal Ring Is Slightly More Than An Inch. The Head Strap Can Be Adjusted From 17″ – 22″.
• Colors: Black And Silver

Pros:

• It’s a masterfully made, superbly designed Spider Mask from the highly regarded craftspeople at The Stockroom.
• It’s easily adjustable due to its buckled strap.
• It’s an amazingly sexy and extremely effective spider mask.

Cons:

• It’s not designed for oral stimulation.
• Some people may find its metallic mouth section unpleasant.

2. Fetish Fantasy’s Extreme Spider Gag: Our Budget Pick!

Why I Love Fetish Fantasy’s Extreme Spider Gag:

Don’t ask me how they did it, but I’m grateful the leather pros at Fetish Fantasy have given us an affordable, sexy, and effective spider gag for just $32.42. No, you’re not dreaming—though you might have the wet variety after getting your eager and oh-so-very kinky hands on this low-cost but exceptionally well-made spider gag.

If I had to describe it, I’d say this product is intimidating yet comfortable and oral pleasure-enhancing though also fetish festival appropriate. Rare enough for higher priced spider gags, and so is mind-boggling wonderful for one that can be had for a little more than thirty bucks. It’s so affordable and well-made I’d even go out on a limb and say this one is a must-own for everyone who’s even the least bit kinky. Yes, it is that good—if not better.

Minor Issues I Found During Testing:

Not so much a complaint as something I’ve noticed about this style, but some people periodically find ones with exposed spider legs to be less comfortable. But even if you like this form of spider gag, I recommend being extra careful when worn as those same spider legs or hooks can easily catch on clothing, sheets, and occasionally a partner’s long hair.

Why Fetish Fantasy’s Extreme Is Our Budget Pick:

When shopping for quality toys, it’s important not to mistake cheap for affordable. Normally, I suggest paying more attention to how well a spider gag or anything else is made rather than trying to score a deal.

Fetish Fantasy’s Extreme is a rare exception, as its low cost is superbly balanced against its amazing quality. Looking at what material went into making it, how sexy it looks, and the endless possibilities it offers, you’d think it’d sell twice or three times what TooTimid is selling it for. But affordability and impressive quality are the only factors that determined its place on my top list:

• Material: Formed from fine-grade metal and premium leather, Fetish Fantasy’s Extreme Spider Gag never feels or tools cheap. Though there are a few places I thought could do with a little improvement, being so few and far between, they’re hardly worth mentioning.
• Design: Most products are created to turn heads and keep a submissive’s mouth and lips wide. In the case of Fetish Fantasy’s Extreme Spider Gag, it does both equally while not hitting your wallet too hard.
• Versatility: Unlike some models, Fetish Fantasy’s Extreme Spider Gag has multiple purposes, making it a good choice for kinksters looking for more than one way to play and a great beginner’s spider mask as well.

Features:

• Material: Leather And Metal
• Measurements: The Leather Strap Is Adjustable From 15″ – 24″ In Diameter. Its Inner Steel Ring Is One And A Half, And The Outer Is 1.33″.
• Colors: Black And Silver.

Pros:

• It’s an amazingly well-made spider gag that retails for $32.45.
• It’s a multiple-purpose spider mask, so it is appropriate for oral play and fetish fashion events.

Cons:

• Certain people may find this form of metal gag less comfortable than other products on this list.

3. Lovegasm’s Open Mouth Spreader: With Harness

Why I Love Lovegasm’s Open Mouth Spreader Spider Gag:

Guaranteeing a submissive can’t easily escape the arousing clutches of an open-mouth spider gag, Lovegasm has the competition beat with their Open Mouth Spreader Spider Gag. Equipped with multiple straps and two extra, though not adjustable ones, it stays on when this ring gag goes on.

Until the person using it asks to let loose from its adjustable straps or their dominant wants to call it quits. It’s also a ring gag that will make any kinkster worth their leather chaps appreciatively whistle at how gorgeous the Lovegasm device is.

Minor Issues I Found During Testing:

I know I fawn over how restrictive this product can be, but it never sacrifices efficiently for safety or comfort. However, though it can be fitted with locks, I do not feel this is something anyone should do. It’s because if the person who has it experiences physical or emotional distress, more than a second’s delay in freeing them can be unpleasant, if not disastrous.

Why Lovegasm’s Open Mouth Spreader Is Our Favorite Harness Spider Gag:

A vision of leather loveliness in brightly shining metal and soft black leather, this one is well worth its $51.99 price tag. Even if you or your partner isn’t into complicated headgear, it’s still worth considering, as it could be a great entry-level model for more intense activities.

• Manufacture: Lovegasm knows how to produce high-quality sex toys and top-notch leather gear, of which their Open Mouth Spreader Spider Gag is an extremely fine example. Meticulously crafted from metal and leather, it may look hardcore but is never uncomfortable.
• Design: With easily adjustable, multiple straps, this BDSM Spider Gag can fit most people’s heads without undue pinching or distressing pressure.

Features:

• Material: Leather And Metal Material.
• Measurements: Its Metal Spider Legs Are About 2.5″ Long. The Inner Ring Is 1.5″ In Diameter With An Outer Measurement Of Nearly 2″.
• Colors: Black And Silver

Pros:

• It’s perfect for people into extreme scenes or hardcore sex toys.
• Its set of adjustable buckles allows for a comfortable and effective fit.

Cons:

• It’s not recommended for beginners or people who may need to be quickly released from it.

4. ExtremeRestraints’s Spider Mouth Gag: Beginner-Friendly

Why I Love ExtremeRestraints’s Spider Mouth Gag:

The good news for people searching for a fantastic entry-level ring gag as Extreme Restraints has the one you’ve been waiting for. Their Spider Gag does everything a great sex toy can but is less intense and more comfortable than others.

Icing on the kinky cake, ExtremeRestraints’s Spider Gag is less than $25. Combine all of this, and you have something perfect for newbies or experienced kinksters looking to save some money.

Minor Issues I Found During Testing:

I seriously can’t think of anything I don’t like about this ring gag. Though a couple of my sex toy testers did mention its extra-wide side sections were sometimes uncomfortable. Though in its defense, that might have less to do with its design and more that some people’s heads or mouths or lips aren’t built for it.

Why ExtremeRestraints’s Spider Mouth Gag Is The Most Beginner-Friendly:

At a mere twenty-four ninety-five and carefully designed for wearability and comfort, this ring gag easily walked off with my beginner award. But it has a lot more going for it than just comfort, and simplicity, and it is ideally suited for leather or bondage newbies:

• Manufacture: Crafted by one of the most highly respected sex toy and leather equipment manufacturers, Extreme Restraints’ Spider Gag is as durable and super easy to wear as it is a huge turn-on to play with. Mix in its jaw-dropping low cost, and it’s my only choice for  novices.
• Design: Extreme Restraints are at it again with this elegantly designed, great introductory model. Looking at it and especially playing with it, you can tell they spent a long time trying to make it pleasurable and comfortable to wear.
• Safety: One of the main reasons I have so much respect for the people at ExtremeRestraints is they put customer safety or comfort over leather intensity. Yes, their sex toys are often on the more, and not less wild side of BDSM play, but Extreme Restraints guarantees their clients won’t be harmed.

Features:

• Material: Leather And Steel.
• Measurements: Adjustable To Fit Heads Measuring Fifteen To 25″ In Circumference.
• Colors: Black And Silver.

Pros:

• No other model on this list is as good for bondage novices as this one.
• Its low cost, high comfort, and adjustability are extremely impressive.

Cons:

• A few people may find its metal parts are set too far apart.

What Is A Spider Gag?

A spider gag is a piece of bondage equipment designed and manufactured to stretch the wearer’s mouth and lips apart without having them bite down on something. They tend to come in two unique types: The first is less functional and more sexy, as they aren’t made for oral sex with a penis. On the other hand, the second kind is built for it.

It’s important to know which you should get depending on what sort of BDSM play you intend to use it for. First, they can be crafted from various materials, such as leather, faux leather, metal, or silicone. Another common material is latex. Whatever you’re thinking of purchasing, be sure it’s the safest and most comfortable material you can find. Otherwise, you risk injuring your or your partner’s body parts.

Leaning a bit on the safe side, you can also consider using a BDSM muzzle, a bondage panel gag, or ball gags. They function relatively close to ring gags so you don’t really miss out too much. Click here to head to our best ball gag guide. On the other hand, those who are a bit more experienced can try a funnel gag.

But Why Should I Use One?

There are as many reasons why you may enjoy playing with a ring gag. How they fall into two different types; some people are aroused by how they look when wearing one. Meanwhile, others find sexual pleasure in how they gag firmly the wearer’s mouth and lips wide for oral sex activities—or so they cannot scream. If both of these playstyles sound appealing, you may want to look at multi-purpose models. Some can even be fitted with toys like ball gags, blindfolds, and other kinky goodies.

Pro tip: While wearing a ring gag or blindfold, you can also try doing some advanced bondage sex positions to take the BDSM experience on a whole new level.

If you haven’t played with one before, please note that you shouldn’t attempt to use it for longer than a few minutes at a time. I say this because though they may look simple, the person wearing them may experience an unpleasant reaction. So take it slow, stay in constant communication, and play safe.

How To Use A Spider Gag?

Created specifically to hold a person’s mouth or lips apart, when playing with many spider gags, it’s vital to set up a way to communicate with their partner instantly. Long before that, those involved must completely negotiate everything beforehand. I don’t just mean what each person would like to do, might be interested in if sufficiently aroused, and what must never happen. Because mouth gags can be emotionally triggering, make it your focus to hope for the best but always plan for the worst.

Once you and whoever you intend to play with have talked, talked, and talked some more, mutually consented to the scene, and established safewords, then you can get going. But how can you or your partner use a safe word if the spider gag prevents them from talking?

The answer is simple, effective, and used by leather players all around the world. It’s that the spider mask wearer should hold an object or toy, and should they need attention, just let go of it. Naturally, it should be something immediately noticeable. The answer is to have them hold a marble or ball bearing, keys, or a small toy like a crop can be excellent. Whatever it is, the goal is it should be effortless to let go of and make enough noise to alert the other partner.

Please note that BDSM ring gags shouldn’t prevent anyone from breathing, or when worn, may damage their teeth or feel overly unpleasant.

How To Clean a Spider Gag?

As with every kink toy or piece of leather equipment, never attempt to clean a ring gag without first checking with the company or individual who made it. Failure to do so may wreck  it and expose the person wearing it to toxic cleaning solutions. Without exception, learn and strictly follow the recommended cleaning instructions as posted on their site. If they aren’t immediately available, contact the manufacturer to find out what they suggest.

Only if you cannot find anything about maintaining your ring gag should you try cleaning it yourself. If you do, never apply too much soap, sex toy cleaner, or anything else. Following the rule of a little goes a long way, and you’ll be fine. A very little vinegar mixed with a small amount of water can be effective for a natural material like leather. But my advice is to learn what BDSM toy makers have to say about maintaining anything made from leather. Often their site is a good place to start.

Artificial substances such as latex, metal, rubber, etc., can be cleaned with warm water, sex toy cleaner, or mild antibacterial soap, rinsed, and then thoroughly dried. You can read more on how to clean your spider gag in this guide.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

How Does A Spider Gag Work?

Spider gags are designed and crafted to keep the wearer’s lips apart and mouth open. They are either made to facilitate oral sex or as only a fetish accessory. Spider Masks are sometimes designed with features like working with a ball gag, blindfolds, ring gag, or another mouth-related toy. [1]

What Does A Spider Gag Look Like?

Many ring gags frequently resemble a spider’s outstretched limbs or hooks: the ends of which help to hold the wearer’s mouth ajar through the use of a strap or multiple straps around the head.

How To Properly Wear A Spider Gag?

It’s important to first measure the mouth, neck, and head of the person who consents to wear a spider gag. With this information, purchase only ring gags that will comfortably and safely fit them. To put one on, start with the gag part and then attach it to the wearer’s head using its strap or straps. Pay close attention to how they are feeling, and take it off their head at the first sign of trouble. When attached, note if it’s too close to your partner’s teeth or if its metal is causing a rash. [3]

Are Spider Gags Safe?

Yes. When used correctly, ring gags are safe to use [2]. But as they are made to hold the wearer’s mouth open, communication can be challenging. As I recommended, having the wearer hold something that, when dropped, signals they need attention is an excellent safety measure. A good alternative we would suggest is BDSM masks or BDSM hoods so there won’t be any issue in talking with your partner during play.

How To Store A Spider Gag?

Depending on what a spider gag is made from has a lot to do with how it should be stored. Leather spider gags should be kept dry and away from direct sunlight. Some leather models should be periodically treated so they won’t crack. Rubber or latex toys should be treated the same but don’t require as much maintenance and dry faster than soft leather toys.

You can read more about storing sex toys in this guide.

How To Make A Spider Gag?

Trying to make a spider mask is not a good idea. Because spider masks rest on or near the wearer’s face, there’s an extremely high possibility they might be exposed to toxic material. Not only that, but an incorrectly made spider mask can cut, tear, or otherwise seriously harm the wearer’s mouth or bite into their skin.

What’s The Difference Between A Spider Gag And O-Ring Gag? (Spider Gag Vs. Ring Gags)

While they closely resemble each other, spiders are usually designed with a strap or straps to hold a person’s mouth wider than an o-ring can. Many spider gags are also built to be more fetish-fashion arousing or sometimes made to work with other toys like a dildo or ball gag.

What Size Spider Gag Should I Purchase?

Before choosing a spider gag, it’s necessary to carefully measure the head and mouth of the person wearing it. Most BDSM manufacturers like The Stockroom, Extreme Restraints, Lovegasm, or TooTimid sell fully adjustable models in various sizes, so they are often one size fits all. [3]

What Is The Best Material For A Spider Gag?

There is no universally perfect material for a ring gag. Some think metal is more comfortable or erotically stimulating, while others may prefer soft leather, latex, or rubber. I suggest choosing whatever material you feel will be the most comfortable against your body rather than for its visual appeal. But if you’re still skeptical, we have a guide for the best sex toy materials that can enlighten you.
