What is a bit gag and how is it different from a ball gag? A bit gag is a bar that sits across the mouth between the teeth, much like a horse's bit, instead of a ball that fills the mouth. The wearer bites down on it. Because the bar leaves space above and below, the jaw is opened less and breathing through the mouth stays easier. Many people find a bit more comfortable than a ball for that reason. The Saffron version has a silicone bit that is firm yet comfortable to bite.
Saffron Silicone Bit Gag: firm to bite, easy to fit
The Saffron Silicone Bit Gag is part of the Saffron collection by Sportsheets. The bit is silicone, made firm enough to bite down on and still comfortable in the mouth. It is held by a strap of supple faux leather with an adjustable buckle, so the fit can be set to the wearer each time it goes on.
The maker suggests pairing it with the Saffron thigh and wrist cuff set or the Saffron Neck and Wrist Restraint. On its own, it is a straightforward gag for anyone who prefers a bar to a ball.
Best for: For couples who want a gag that is easier on the jaw than a ball gag. The firm silicone bit suits wearers who like something solid to bite, and the buckle strap lets different people share one gag between scenes after cleaning.

How to use
The wearer will not be able to speak clearly, so agree on a non-verbal stop signal first, such as dropping an object from the hand. Wash the bit before first use. Place the bar between the teeth, behind the canines, and fasten the buckle at the back of the head. It should hold the bit in place without pulling the corners of the mouth. Check that breathing is easy. Start with short sessions, and never leave a gagged person alone.
Care
- Wash the silicone bit with warm water and mild soap after every use.
- Wipe the faux leather strap with a damp cloth. Do not soak it.
- Dry all parts fully before storing.
- Store it with the buckle open, away from heat and direct sunlight.

Frequently asked questions
How is this different from the Saffron Soft Bit Gag?
The bar is the difference. This one has a silicone bit described as firm yet comfortable, for wearers who want something solid to bite. The Soft Bit Gag is described as pillow-soft, for a gentler feel in the mouth.
Will it fit me?
The strap closes with an adjustable buckle, so the fit can be set to the wearer. The facts available do not give the strap length or the width of the bit, so we cannot state a size range.
Is a bit gag good for beginners?
Often, yes. A bar opens the jaw less than a ball and leaves room to breathe through the mouth. Agree on a non-verbal signal first, keep early sessions short and stay with the wearer.
How do I clean it?
Wash the silicone bit with warm water and mild soap after each use and dry it. Wipe the faux leather strap with a damp cloth. Do not soak the strap or put the gag in a dishwasher.
