Everything made by that guy. Unfortunately I didn't found english version of his pages but google translate can help a lot I think.

Wow, thanks for the link.  I think I'll buy it's male/female harness.  Always wanted one but never found one which would be good for men...

What is your go to shop for high quality ballgags/head harnesses?

There was this german online shop, marlons.de, that had amazing ballgags and harnesses at affordable prices.

Perfect, shiny silicon ballgag (in multiple colors and sizes), soft, but durable leather straps and very good craftmanship overall.

I still have my first one and aside from some wear on the leather straps, it's still in very good condition and my favourite ballgag harness. The silicone ball is as good as new.

Modelstied regularly used them in their shoots. (I just shot them an email, maybe they have a lead.)



Unfortunately, the shop had to close, "temporarily" as they stated, but they never re-opened.
Still kicking myself that I never bought a spare and their panel gag as well when I could.

I have since tried several shops, but most of them just resell chinese imports at obscene markups (looking at you, sub-shop.com).

Got several from aliexpress myself and while some are, well, functional, some fit terribly, and most are way to flimsy, e.g. only have a single strap going to the back of the head (seriously, just use an inverted Y-shape, it's not rocket science!), and most importantly, regularly top out at 42 mm, maybe 48 mm ball sizes (mine is 52 mm and just for science I would love to try 60 mm).

Alternatives I am considering are the ones sold by Restricted Senses. They go up to 54 mm and the build quality looks fine, even if the straps look very thin (considering that Mina is petite and the straps look thin even on her).
Big YIKES! on the price though, it would be close to EUR 150 with shipping and customs.



This one is another option, a bit more affordable and claims to be highly customizable, but I don't trust the connector rivets on the straps to withstand anything more than decorative use to be honest.
I am also not a huge fan of the PVC aesthetic.
Tops out at 48 mm 😡



Recently purchased a simple ballgag from McHurt to check the quality.



The leather is very soft and the silicone ball is a bit softer than I am used to as well, but it's very comfortable. Downside (for me, it's a pet peeve I have) is the hole in the ball is circular and the soft strap rolls up going through. I prefer slits that keep the strap "in place".

There is an upside though: you can buy different gags/harnesses with different ball sizes and mix & match them easily. Unfortunately, the head harnesses are not very aesthetically pleasing for my taste and the side straps going close to/over the ears seems also to be a bad design choice. Again: just 👏 use 👏 an 👏 inverted 👏 Y-shape.



Also, the strap has a "smokey" smell (from the curing process?) that somehow rubbed off on the ball when stored in a ziploc.

Any other good stores worth checking out?

Hello! I stumbled upon this thread trying to locate more info about what happened to Marlon's. Curious if you happened to ever hear a response from the Modelstied folks?
