{"product_id":"s-m-breathable-ball-gag","title":"S\u0026M Breathable Ball Gag","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Sportsheets S\u0026amp;M Breathable Ball Gag brings a stylish and accessible entry point into sensation and power-exchange play. The black plastic ball measures 2\" (5.1 cm) in diameter and features air holes throughout, allowing for improved airflow compared to solid gags — a thoughtful design detail that makes it far more forgiving for first-time wearers. The ball connects to a wide 26\" x 1\" (66 cm x 2.5 cm) adjustable vinyl strap fitted with a buckle closure, making it easy to achieve a secure, customised fit for a range of head sizes. Part of Sportsheets' S\u0026amp;M line, this gag combines lightweight comfort with the visual and psychological impact that gag play is known for.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eS\u0026amp;M Breathable Ball Gag features:\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBreathable ball with air holes for improved airflow during wear\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlack plastic ball, 2\" (5.1 cm) in diameter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdjustable vinyl strap, 26\" x 1\" (66 cm x 2.5 cm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuckle closure for a secure, customisable fit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLightweight construction suitable for most head sizes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLimits speech to reinforce submissive dynamics and power exchange\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications \/ Size \u0026amp; material\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBall diameter:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2\" \/ 5.1 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStrap dimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 26\" x 1\" \/ 66 cm x 2.5 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStrap adjustment:\u003c\/strong\u003e Adjustable with buckle closure\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBall material:\u003c\/strong\u003e Plastic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStrap material:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBody safety:\u003c\/strong\u003e Plastic ball is wipeable and non-porous; vinyl strap should not be shared without thorough cleaning\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColour:\u003c\/strong\u003e Black\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eIntensity \u0026amp; Experience Level\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLevel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Beginner  |  \u003cstrong\u003eSensation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Restrictive \/ sensory-deprivation\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe air holes in the ball make this one of the more forgiving gag options available, reducing the breathing restriction associated with solid ball gags.
