Tape Gag

Often used during BDSM activities, a tape gag is an over-the-mouth gag that limits a subordinate sexual partner's vocal engagement. Any sticky tape that can cover and seal the mouth, including gaffer, PVC, or duct tape, can be used to create a tape gag. Most tape gags are two to three inches wide to cover the wearer's mouth fully.

More About Tape Gag

A tape gag can thrill a submissive partner by making them feel more powerless. The appearance of a partner wearing a tape gag and the noises they make while wearing one might arouse dominant people.

Especially during humiliation play, certain submissives may be made to wear a tape gag as a form of punishment. A tape gag can also give a role-playing scenario, such as a rape fantasy or an abduction or break-in scene, more realism.

The popularity of tape gags can be attributed to their affordability, accessibility, and ease of use. Tape gags, however, are quickly undone if the user wiggles their mouth or blows on the tape. Their efficacy can be enhanced if they are constructed from a piece of tape long enough to wrap around the wearer's head. Because it limits jaw mobility, a gag from ear to ear behind the jaw can be quite successful. The most effective use of tape gags is in conjunction with stuff gags; however, the filling also raises the risk of choking.

It's crucial to remember that tape gags can irritate the lips' delicate skin. Additionally, tape gags might aggravate cold sores or fever blisters that have lain latent.  When removed from the head, tape gags can rip out hair. The longer a tape gag is left on, the more safety issues it raises.
