A PRIMER ON CLOTH GAGGAGE

By Master Ken / SweetCream
June 1994

MUFFLERS: Applied as a reminder to be silent, to annoy, mildly humiliating to wearer.

Fold clean or used dish towel to 4" width, tie over mouth knotting at back of neck ON TOP OF blindfold knot to prevent slipping. Or, fold dish towel on diagonal and tie tightly about victim's face at mid eye level, allowing her only to see straight ahead and causing her to have to breathe THROUGH the towel.

BIT GAGS (Cleaves ): Applied to cause discomfort and annoyance, stretching jaws and mouth.

Dish towel or scarf folded to 1 1/2" pulled between teeth, tightly knotted behind neck, drawing back corners of mouth. Bandanna wadded into mouth. 3" folded bandanna brought forward from back of neck and knotted tightly between teeth, forcing wadding deeper. Third bandanna folded 3" tied over gaggage, tightly knotted behind neck.

Two bandannas laid atop each other, fold to smallest wadding and force into mouth; hold in place with 1" rolled dish towel or scarf. Or, bandanna wadding, hold in place with rolled flour sack towel with center knot in mouth holding wadding deep. Holds jaw wider, hurts mouth corners when TIGHTLY tied.

KNOT GAGS: An expansion on the bit gag design. Knot gags, depending on size and material are less comfortable, preventing intelligible speech and can be used to stretch mouth and jaws to a punitive extent. Knot gags are featured in the "Jessica" series in three sizes and referred to as RKG's (regulation knot gag). A knot gag is an excellent choice for LONG TERM DISCIPLINE such as overnight wear since there is virtually no danger of choking or suffocation.

To create the knot, a large square or rectangular cloth is folded once on the diagonal. Starting at the point(s) roll tightly toward the long edge forming a rope-like affair. Tie a single overhand knot beginning just off-center of the cloth so the ends are equal in length. Obviously the dimensions and thickness of the cloth determine the size of the knot created. We tie and keep several sizes and styles on hand for instant use.

1. Most women have large head squares available and flour sack towels are available at many variety stores. Either of these rolled as above create a fairly small knot. Excellent for use on a novice. A mouth filling bandanna packing may be used before the knot is thrust between the teeth and tied off behind the neck.
2. Formed of a larger cotton cloth <29"sq. flour sack> or a head scarf in which a bandanna has been laid out and rolled into the "rope" The additional bulk provides greater mass and the knot holds the jaws wide apart. Ends should be tightly tied, drawing back the mouth corners when used punitively. Wadding may also be inserted to acquire the desired silence.
3. A cotton or muslin square of 36" or so is large enough to form the GIANT knot tied to spread the jaws most uncomfortably WIDE. Punitive for long wear though not silencing. Add dry bandanna wadding and it becomes a CONSUMING! type of gag to wear when tightly drawn back and tied off.

In order to insert the larger knots in the mouth, place the knot on the captive's lower teeth, pressing downward as you "roll" the knot into the mouth. Much like a well fitted ball gag, the knot is nearly impossible to expel with the tongue and tying the ends tightly behind the neck complete the appliance.

SILENCERS: Mouth fully packed with cloth prevents noise, may introduce gag-reflex conditions.

Dish towel or flour sack cloth folded to smallest rectangle then to a "V" shaped wad which is inserted deep in the mouth "All the way back" on top of tongue, between back molars and resting against the back of the throat. Tie in place with cloth of your choice. This is an uncomfortable gag, difficult to wear and has a highly subduing effect on the wearer. The wadding becomes slippery and may induce the gag reflex which the wearer must "control". An enhanced silencer is applied by packing the mouth as above, then work fingers into "V" in wadding and open it vertically. Force 1" wide towel "bit" into wad and knot TIGHTLY at neck. Punishment level is determined by volume of wadding and tightness of knotted bit. Add dish towel, folded once and tied over mouth and NOSE as a further discipline device.

COMPOUND GAGS: Completely silencing, uncomfortable for short wear, intolerable for long wear ("Punishment Gags")

"Jawbreaker" Insert "V" wad as above all the way into mouth. After a few minutes, work a cavity in the "V" and insert a knotted flour sack into wadding, holding jaws WIDE. Bind a folded dish towel over mouth and knot behind neck to hold jaws "back" Tie a diagonally folded dish towel over the lower face at mid-eye height and draw tightly to impede captive's breathing. Fold a large cloth to 4" wide and draw up under chin trapping the face cover and knot it tightly atop the head. Now the jaws are at once "forced" wide open, tied "shut" and bound motionless. This is an excellent motivational gag for a *maid* with cleaning to do. Assure her/him that freedom awaits at the end of her task! If it passes "inspection"

VARIATIONS: The use of cloth allows for many variations of the gaggage. Kitchen/dish towels (non-terry) may be freshly laundered or soiled ones spontaneously pulled from the towel rack and applied... introducing various aromas and tastes.

For greater SILENCING, saturate the mouth packing/wadding with water. Two purposes are served ... the liquid clogs the fiber of the cloth further preventing the passage of sound. The dampened wadding will not stick to the lining of the mouth as sometimes happens. Rubbing the wet wadding on Ivory bar soap increases the degree of displeasure, as does saturating in lemon juice, vinegar or unsweetened Kool-Aid.

These are but a few gags in a myriad of possible gagging ideas. Take a close second look at the cloths around your home. You may never look at a dish towel or kerchief in the same way again!

Silence is golden....and FUN too !
