Bondage Boutique Silicone Dog Bone Gag Review

With all the hundreds… scratch that, more like the thousands of different BDSM toys out there to choose from, it’s hardly surprising most folx find themselves frustratingly baffled. I mean, do you go with something that looks really hot or something that seems like it will be way more arousing to actually use?  Not to mention debating whether or not a toy made from natural materials would be better, or maybe an article would be easier to take care of?

Enter yours truly, and while I don’t know everything there is to know about kinky playthings, my thirty-five years in the BDSM community do give me some often important insights to help you pick the ideal product for you or your playmate. For instance, is a Bondage Boutique Silicone Dog Bone Gag a must-have, or is it not as good as it may initially appear?

Key Takeaways

It may be strange to say, but the first thing my partner and I both did when seeing the Bondage Boutique Silicone Dog Bone Gag for the first time was giggle like a pair of crazy little maniacs. And who could blame us, as here’s a bit-type gag with a hysterically playful canine twist!  While neither of us is into puppy play scenes, we also found it impossible not to wag our tails, whimper, whine, or even let out a bark or two.

In all seriousness, the Bondage Boutique Silicone Dog Bone Gag is a finely made and expertly designed toy. Even without its bone shape, it felt exceptionally fun to play with. If we had any complaint, and it’s a very small one, it would be that the gag part is perhaps a little too thick, as occasionally we each had moments when we couldn’t breathe as easily as we should.

Who Should Try It? If you love bit gags or puppy play, then you’ll very likely get really, really excited by the idea of trying out the Bondage Boutique Silicone Dog Bone Gag. Combining all the comfort of a bit gag with a playful, puppy-lay inspired design, it’s sure to set you or your partner’s tail wagging.

Who Can Skip It? On the other hand, if gags don’t warm your heart—or other body parts—then buying this one isn’t something you’re going to put a lot of thought into.

What is a Bondage Boutique Silicone Dog Bone Gag?

The Bondage Boutique Silicone Dog Bone Gag is a classic example of a bit gag toy, as it has a middle section that goes into the wearer’s mouth. It is held in place via a buckled strap on one side and a longer, hole-punched matching faux leather strap on the other. The dog bone-shaped center part is also held in place by a pair of heavy-duty steel D-rings. The whole arrangement is adjustable, compliments of the longer strap’s nine punch holes.

First Impressions and Features

Unboxing

The Bondage Boutique Silicone Dog Bone Gag doesn’t come with much, aside from a plastic identification tag attached to the product by a small steel ball ring. The card doesn’t have any info; it just has the Bondage Boutique logo on both sides. The packaging also doesn’t have much by way of decoration, just another brand logo and a smaller barcode and SKU numbered one.

Specifications

How does the Bondage Boutique Silicone Dog Bone Gag measure up?

• Materials: Metal, Silicone, Faux Leather

Its Buckle And D-Ring Are Held In Place By A Pair Of Steel Grommets. The Opposite Side Strap Is The Same Width And Thickness, But Is A Little Under Ten And A Half Inches Long And Has Nine Adjustable Punch Holes.

• Color: Black And Silver
• Mechanism: The Bondage Boutique Silicone Dog Bone Gag, Like Most Gags, Is Essentially A Belt-And-Buckle Arrangement That Keeps The Toy’s Middle Section Securely In Place.

How to Use a Bondage Boutique Silicone Dog Bone Gag

Bondage Boutique Silicone Dog Bone Gag is, fortunately, not very difficult to use. All that’s really needed is for the wearer to comfortably place the silicone dog-bone part in their mouth. After that, it’s just a matter of having their partner buckle it in place. Saying that, it shouldn’t be tightened so much that it may become forced into the wearer’s mouth. Ideally, it should neither be too tight nor too loose, with enough space between the straps and the wearer’s head so that, in an emergency, the gag can be quickly pulled down or up to allow the wearer to breathe easily.

My Personal Experience

Design

The Bondage Boutique Silicone Dog Bone Gag is comprised of three parts: the first is a faux leather strap fitted with a standard metal buckle; the middle dog-bone shaped bit gag held in place by two short straps with matching steel grommets; and then a longer strap with nine punch holes, which, with the aforementioned buckle, the whole toy can be easily adjusted.

Material

Bondage Boutique Silicone Dog Bone Gag is primarily made of body-safe, non-reactive silicone, with a few metal components, including its buckle and the five circular steel grommets that hold it all together. It also features a few nice details, including stitching along the top and bottom of its faux-leather straps and high-quality metal parts.

Build Quality and Dimensions

While affordable at a little under thirty-five dollars, the Bondage Boutique Silicone Dog Bone Gag is quite an impressively made toy. From its sturdy, comfortable silicone bone bit to its faux leather straps—not to mention the good, though not great, metal bits—it’s one of those rare BDSM gear that looks and plays like it should cost twice as much. Having said that, I’m not sure how well it may hold after several vigorous play sessions—though in all honesty, as gags require a lot of careful attention so as not to put the wearer’s health at risk, I couldn’t play too roughly with it.

Ease of Use

As far as playing with a Bondage Boutique Silicone Dog Bone Gag goes, it’s a remarkably simple product to safely and comfortably use. Really, all that’s needed is for the wearer to put the bone-shaped silicone and position it so that biting down on it doesn’t cause any discomfort, and most of all, it won’t interfere with their ability to easily breathe. Next, all that’s needed is for their partner to buckle it in place so it’s neither so loose that it falls off too easily nor so tight that it might injure their partner.

As I mentioned, your goal should be to make it so that, at a moment’s notice, the bit gag can be lifted or lowered, or quickly and effortlessly removed from the wearer’s mouth.

In fact, I don’t recommend buckling it or any other gag in place as it might take too long to unsecure it: seconds which can be absolutely crucial in a breathing-related emergency. Instead, just insert the tapered strap into the metal securing loop of the buckle-ended one. Sure, it may come unexpectedly loose, but unless you can take the entire gag off in a fraction of a second, then it’s better than putting the wearer’s health and safety at risk.

Versatility

This sex toy should only be used for its intended purpose. Never improvise a gag, as that increases the risk of injury. Always purchase professionally made gags. Most importantly, always make sure you and your playmates stay physically and emotionally safe.

Warranty and Support

As with anything purchased from Lovehoney, if your Bondage Boutique Silicone Dog Bone Gag is defective, you have one year to return it for a possible refund or exchange it for a new one. The same’s true if you don’t like any of their products, but only if it hasn’t been removed from its original packaging.

Minor Issues I Found During Testing

If I could change anything about the Bondage Boutique Silicone Dog Bone Gag, I would make the silicone dog-bone part thinner. It’s that as it is now, unless you or your partner has an especially large mouth, it might be a little too challenging to easily breathe when it’s in place. Not that this is a design flaw, just something anyone should keep in mind when considering buying or playing with this product. Otherwise, it’s a well-made and thoroughly fun BDSM toy.

Review Summary

Aside from the fact that I mentioned I would be great if its silicone dog bone were a bit thinner, making breathing perhaps less challenging, the Bondage Boutique Silicone Dog Bone Gag remains a delightfully enjoyable plaything. The only other thing I want to say is, as with every other gag currently available, it’s vitally important you and whoever you play with understand the potential risks that come with gag play activities. No less so, how all it takes for a scene to go from wildly hot to a potentially serious emergency crisis is having the gag-weaver’s breathing interrupted. So do yourself and those you play with a massive favor and educate yourself in not just the pleasures but the possible dangers involved with using gags during BDSM play.

Alternatives to a Bondage Boutique Silicone Dog Bone Gag?

DOMINIX Deluxe Leather Bit Gag

Craving something with a less artificial feel and/or taste?  If so, then you may want to consider this model with a plushier, more mouth-filling leather bit. Constructed from high-grade leather and sporting some impressive details like steel-ring reinforced punch holes, a very sturdy buckle, and super-tough O-rings, the DOMINIX Deluxe Leather Bit Gag is as hot to look at as it feels in your or your playmate’s mouth. If anything, its only downside is that leather can taste a little funky and needs more care than artificial gags. But if that’s not a worry, then you definitely can’t go wrong with this superb sex toy.
