The one you choose will depend on your personal preferences as well as the goals you have in mind. Of course, to make those decisions we first have to explain the gags and the differences between them.
Ball Gags
Much like the name implies, ball gags are simply a gag that places a ball of varying sizes in the subs mouth. Most ball gags are held in place by strap that is placed around the mouth and head of the sub.
There are a variety of ball gags available including panel version, single strap ball gags, chin strap gags and even large ball gags.
Bit Gags
Another popular style of gag is the bit gag. These gags are similar to ball gags as they have an portion of the gag that is placed inside the mouth. However, they are different in that the idea of a bit gag is to give the sub something to bite down on.
Bit gags are placed between the teeth and keep the sub from opening or closing their mouth. These are often made of rubber some are made of wood and other materials. A bit gag sometimes come with a collar and even reins.
Gag and Collar Set
Gag and collar sets are popular in the fact that they add a dimension to the standard gag. Collars give the Dom even more control, allowing for leashing as an option. It also adds the possession feel for both the dom and sub, enhancing the desire by both.
Panel Style
A popular choice in bondage gags are the panel style gags. While these may come as ball gags, tape, mask or other forms; the panel gag is one that covers the mouth completely. Unlike bit gags or single strap ball gags, panel gags do not leave the mouth open or visible. These completely muffle the sounds, leaving only mumbled effects and enhacing the role play for the dom.
Ring and Open Gags
Serious bondage aficionados enjoy taking bondage gags to a different level. This might include the use of ring and open gags. The name is self-explanatory in that these gags offer a ring in the mouth area and force the subs mouth to remain open.
While the mouth is open, the position it is placed in does not allow for speaking. Sounds may be a bit louder from these gags, but are still muffled and distorted which enhances role play.
When you choose gags you will find that there are a variety of styles and material. You can choose from latex, tape, rubber, leather and more. You will have the open to choose an open style, one that covers the entire mouth, one that covers the majority of the face and those that only serve to silence the sub.
Safety is key as in anything we do with BDSM and when it comes to using a gag it is best to set up some sort of hand signals as the safeword can no longer be spoken as 3 taps on the back of the hand could signal stop, while 2 could signal slow down it ease up or the gag is to tight, 1 could signal i am fine keep going.
It is also good to remember that gags can cause damage such as lockjaw. Lock jaw is spasm of the jaw muscles, causing the mouth to remain tightly closed. When this happens it is good to have some sort of emergency plan in place to remove the gag and in some instances have 911 on standby as some jaw muscles can lock up with such force causing the gag to break and pieces to lodge in the throat which could cause bleeding a sore throat or even a choking hazard
Chosing the right size of a gag is very critical in safety as an improper size can cause soreness to the jaw muscles, damage to the wearers teeth, lockjaw, or any other number of issuses that can be dangerous.

Extra small – around 1.0 to 1.25 (inches)
Small – around 1.5
Medium – around 1.67 to 1.75
Large – around 2.0
Extra Large – 2.5 to 3.0
IMPORTANT: Choose a size that fits the wearer’s mouth with a comfortable stretch. Their experience level also should be a factor.
Also, some companies give the diameter of the ball while others give the circumference. It’s an annoying pain in the ass, but you can solve it with some simple math.
