Spider gag
A ring gag with prongs that holds the mouth open instead of blocking it.
What is a spider gag?
Spider gag is a gag in the shape of an open ring, with prongs on the sides that keep the ring from turning inside the mouth. The open ring holds the mouth open and gives access, and it lets the wearer drool. Unlike a ball gag, a spider gag does not block the mouth but holds it open instead. The term is English.

How a spider gag works
A spider gag is a variant of the ring gag. According to the encyclopedia entry, a ring gag is like a ball gag, only with a hollow ring instead of a ball, which lowers the risk of choking and gives access to the mouth. The spider gag adds prongs on the sides, so the ring cannot turn inside the mouth, and it often has interchangeable rings that suit the mouth and whatever might pass through it. Ring and spider gags make the wearer drool without fail, which is often exactly the point.
What to watch for with a spider gag
The main things to watch are communication and the jaw. Because the wearer cannot speak clearly with a gag, you agree on a non-verbal signal beforehand. According to the same source, players use, for example, a pattern of sounds, such as three short grunts, or an object in the hand that the gagged person can drop to signal distress. Beyond that, an open-mouth gag calls for attention to the jaw: build up the time slowly, because staying wide open for a long time can tire the jaw.
