A Ring Gag with Tongue Hold is a type of BDSM gag designed to restrict the mouth while simultaneously holding the tongue in a specific position.

This gag typically consists of a circular ring that fits around the mouth and is secured with straps that can adjust for comfort and security. The distinctive feature of the tongue hold is a mechanism or attachment that gently nudges or holds the tongue down, preventing the wearer from using it to speak or manipulate their mouth in typical ways.

The Ring Gag with Tongue Hold serves multiple purposes within BDSM contexts. Firstly, it can enhance sensory experiences by limiting verbal communication and altering the dynamics of power exchange between partners. Secondly, it can create a heightened state of vulnerability for the wearer, as their ability to express consent or discomfort verbally is compromised.

In practice, this type of gag may be used in various scenarios, such as during bondage scenes, role-playing, or to facilitate other forms of restraint without the risk of accidental biting. However, care should be taken to understand the risks associated with gags, including potential difficulties in breathing or communication, and the importance of establishing clear safe words and signals prior to use.

Overall, the Ring Gag with Tongue Hold exemplifies the intersection of restraint and control within BDSM practices, while also necessitating a strong emphasis on consent and safety among all participants.

Ring Gag with Tongue Hold


A Ring Gag with Tongue Hold is a type of gag used in BDSM play that combines the features of a traditional ring gag with an additional element designed to restrict the movement of the wearer's tongue.


In this type of gag, a ring is typically made of metal or silicone and is placed in the wearer's mouth, holding it open and preventing them from closing their teeth fully. What sets it apart is the addition of a strap or attachment that goes over or under the wearer's tongue, further limiting their ability to move their tongue freely. This can enhance the feeling of helplessness and vulnerability for the wearer, as well as potentially impacting their speech and ability to communicate clearly.


The Ring Gag with Tongue Hold is often used in BDSM scenes for its visual appeal and the sense of control or submission it can evoke. It is important to always prioritize safety and communication when using gags or any type of bondage equipment to ensure a consensual and enjoyable experience for all parties involved.
