{"product_id":"tantus-beginner-ballgag","title":"Tantus Beginner Ballgag","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Tantus Beginner Ball Gag is thoughtfully designed for those taking their first steps into gag play. Its insertable mouthpiece is contoured for comfortable jaw placement, with a shape originally inspired by an infant pacifier — meaning the curve works \u003cem\u003ewith\u003c\/em\u003e your mouth rather than against it, helping to reduce jaw fatigue during longer scenes. The gag itself is made from 100% Ultra-Premium silicone that is completely tasteless and odorless, making it genuinely safe and pleasant for oral use. Measuring 2\" x 1.6\" (5.1 cm x 4.1 cm), the ball is sized to feel present without being overwhelming. The leather straps feature velcro closures for maximum adjustability and quick release, and they snap off entirely so the silicone gag can be cleaned as thoroughly as needed — including boiling or dishwasher sanitisation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTantus Beginner Ball Gag features:\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eContoured silicone ball shaped for comfortable jaw placement and reduced fatigue\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e100% Ultra-Premium silicone — tasteless, odorless, and body-safe\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePhthalate-free and hypoallergenic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdjustable leather straps with velcro closures for a personalised fit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSnap-off gag design allows full separation from straps for thorough hygiene\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBall size: 2\" x 1.6\" \/ 5.1 cm x 4.1 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications \/ Size \u0026amp; material\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBall dimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2\" x 1.6\" \/ 5.1 cm x 4.1 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGag material:\u003c\/strong\u003e 100% Ultra-Premium silicone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStrap material:\u003c\/strong\u003e Leather with velcro closures\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBody safety:\u003c\/strong\u003e Phthalate-free, hypoallergenic, tasteless, and odorless silicone — non-toxic and safe for mouth contact\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\u003eThis is one of the most forgiving gags available — the contoured shape eases jaw strain, the velcro straps release quickly, and the modest ball size keeps the experience accessible.
