spider gag

A spider gag is an open-mouth gag made of a metal ring with four to six short legs radiating from it. The ring sits behind the teeth to keep the mouth open, the legs rest against the lips so it cannot be pushed out, and a strap or head harness holds it in place. Most are stainless steel with leather or polyurethane straps, and some have interchangeable rings.

Unlike a ball gag it does not muffle much: the wearer can still make noise, but cannot form clear words or close their mouth. This leaves the mouth open for kissing, tongue play, fingers, toys or light feeding, and suits scenes built around enforced openness, objectification or humiliation. Others like the jaw stretch, the drool and the clinical metal look in photos and roleplay.

Safety & Consent

A badly fitting or over-tightened spider gag can chip teeth or cut the lips, so the ring should sit comfortably behind the teeth. The open mouth increases drooling and the risk of inhaling fluid, so breath and fluid play need extra care and the wearer is best kept upright or leaning forward. Holding the jaw open can cause pain and aggravate TMJ problems, so check in regularly and keep wear short. The gag should come off quickly when needed, with shears nearby if the straps are hard to undo.
