Bit

A bit is a mouthpiece that is placed between the sub's teeth and is usually secured behind the head with straps or bands. It is inspired by horse bits used in equestrian sports and is mainly used in BDSM for pony play, pet play, and games that focus on control, submission, or animal transformation.
