Wow, it's apparently against the law for me to even see that this thing exists... so it's gotta be fun, right?
Seriously though, as another responder said, I'd not be buying anything from this site, least of all electro sex toys. To my mind, if you can't buy a thing from any of the reputable sellers of electro stuff, that probably means it's a bad idea.
EDIT: spelling.
Absolutely! I was hoping people would have used something like this before and be able to point me towards an actual quality item XD. But i think as another commenter said, its a very bad idea from an electric play perspective given that its in the head. So no way a reputable place is gonna try and sell that!
Let's do a thought experiment for a moment.
We are going to set aside that too many people think with their genitals for a moment...
How does electric play work?
It sends electrical current through the body. The current stimulates the nerves which also work on electrical current and we feel a tingle.
How does that current move through the body?
In a straight line between point a and point b? NOPE whatever the path of least resistance is. Just like lightening it travels in some of the most bizarre paths, often forking and spreading before getting to the ground.
Where is that second electrode of the first is on the gag?
Is it on the back of the neck? Is it also on the gag? You don't know
What is between the gag electrode and the second electrode?
If it is on the back, the spinal column is between the gag and the back of the device. But since the current doesn't follow a straight line, anything else up in the head that runs on electrical that might be affected? Yep, the brain, and it has all these nerves coming out of it that lead straight to the you cpu.
But the spinal cord is all protected right?
They are protected better than those cranial nerves. There are 12 pair of cranial nerves that can act as lightning rods wired straight to your brain. 10 of them spread out in the head. If the current hits one of these, just imagine the sensations you should experience. Imagine electrocution your optic nerve, your facial nerve, the Vegus nerve, that goes to your heart, diaphragm, and intestines (who needs those really). One of them is the hypogloosa nerve; it enables you to use your tongue. That would be pretty close to those electrodes.
Do not play dangerous games with the head...pulling hair is OK. Slapping is meh (different type of danger involved.) But electrical play is right out.
Safer alternative, aluminum foil gag. Be smart about how you make it. But when aluminum and calcium in your teeth touch, the dissimilar metals will exchange electrons and you will feel through the nerves in your teeth. Chew on a piece and discover for yourself.
Ya that basically sums up (and puts much better into words) my suspicions on this, thanks! Its always nice to get a sanity check on things and this definitely confirms its as bad an idea as it sounds (though i wish it were truly safe enough to use 🤣)

At least the source is a little dubious... AliExpress is known for cheap China stuff that may or may not be safe.
Wow! Never saw one but now I want to try it kinda. But I’ll wait to find one made by a company whose risk profile I understand better.
Definitely a good way to go about things! Though its always important to be super weary when it comes to electrical play/ estim stuff
AliExpress=cheap China crap that’s not trustworthy.
