The Ouch! International Venice Collection Silicone Ball Gag is a breathable ball gag: a black silicone ball with holes through it, held in by adjustable bonded leather straps with iridescent hardware. The breathable ball is the part I care about, because it lets air pass if the wearer's nose gets blocked, which makes it a far safer first gag than a solid ball. Venice is the understated one in the Ouch! International range, all black with just the hardware catching the light, and this gag matches the rest of the Venice set.

Ouch! International Venice Collection Silicone Ball Gag features:

• Black silicone ball with breathing holes, so air passes even with the mouth filled
• Silicone ball, so it is non-porous, body-safe, and easy to wash with soap and water
• Adjustable bonded leather straps sized to fit most adults
• Iridescent finish on the buckle and hardware to match the Venice Collection
• Made by Shots under the Ouch! label, with a 1-year warranty

How to use the Ouch! International Venice Collection Silicone Ball Gag?

1. Agree on a non-verbal safeword before the gag goes in, such as a dropped object, three grunts, or a tap-out, and practice it once unmuffled.
2. Check the wearer can breathe freely through their nose; a cold, allergies, or a blocked nose means no gag today.
3. Place the ball behind the teeth and buckle the strap snug but not tight. You should be able to slide a finger under the strap at the back of the head.
4. Keep sessions short at first, 10 to 15 minutes, and check in with eye contact and hand signals throughout.
5. Remove the gag at the first sign of distress, heavy drooling the wearer cannot manage, jaw pain, or any change in breathing.
6. Wash the silicone ball with warm water and mild soap after every use and wipe the bonded leather straps with a damp cloth; let everything dry fully before storing.

Techniques & ways to play

• Pair it with the Venice Collection blindfold for a sensory-restricted scene where the wearer can neither see nor speak clearly.
• Use the gag as a marker of a scene's start: buckling it on signals that the power exchange has begun, and taking it off closes the scene.
• Combine with wrist cuffs in front of the body so the wearer can still tap out while gagged.
• Have the wearer try to say a phrase through the gag as a playful humiliation or control element, keeping the mood light for beginners.

Special considerations / warnings

• Never leave a gagged person alone, even for a moment. Gags can cause choking on saliva or vomit, and the wearer cannot call for help.
• Do not gag anyone who has been drinking, is nauseous, or has a blocked nose; vomiting while gagged is a genuine emergency.
• Keep the strap snug, never tight. Overtightening strains the jaw and can bruise the corners of the mouth.
• The straps are bonded leather, not solid hide, so do not use them to anchor the head to furniture or apply pulling force.

18+ only. For consensual adult use.
