Ball-gag Maintenance

[kittenfemme]

Anyone have a good method of keeping ball gags clean that doesn't either dry out the rubber ball or the leather? I've a beautiful (fairly) new gag and I don't want the ball to disintegrate like the last one I had. I used antibacterial soap on the ball and saddle soap on the leather. It kept the leather nice and supple, but the ball dried out. Suggestions please?

Unfortunately kiddo, all the balls I've seen disintegrate real quick as the saliva and chewing just reduce them to nothing. Only recourse I've had to date is to buy a few sizes of balls from toys are us and replace them as necessary. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

You could try making your own with a hard rubber ball (like a SuperBall, which has a pretty comfortable diameter) and the leather frame you already have. I like hard rubber because you can drill a breathing hole through it without shredding it (I always like a breathing gag -- less claustrophobic and fewer problems with stuffy noses).

For maintainance, a little Joy detergent and dry thoroughly.
