I could not wait to get my Rub My Duckie in the mail. For one thing, it was affordable. It was also cute. I wouldn't have to worry about leaving it out in plain view. A yellow rubber duckie is a pretty innocuous sight in a bathroom. All these pros! What could possibly go wrong?

When it arrived on my doorstep I couldn't wait to try it. I sent the boyfriend out for his guys' night, poured myself a glass of wine, lit some candles and ran a bath. The packaging was difficult to open and to load the batteries I had to hunt up a screwdriver. That should have been the first clue that duckie was a dud.

I settled in to the bath with my duckie. It was completely waterproof, but to my disappointment it didn't really float. It's a bit too heavy for that, so it wound up on its side. I turned the duckie on and got busy. The toy vibrates all over, but is most concentrated in the head and the tail. It got me warmed up, but it wasn't able to finish the job without help from my fingers.

The duckie only has one speed; it's an on and off deal. The vibration isn't really weak, but it's not that strong. In addition to that, the shape makes it bit awkward and difficult to hold onto with wet hands. It was just a bit too big to use comfortably. Duckie is also made of hard plastic, not rubber. I Rub My Duckie is cute and fun but it failed to bring me to orgasm. I got out of the tub annoyed and cranky that my previously exciting new toy was a dud.

I Rub My Duckie is really only good as a novelty item or a gag gift. It's probably great for someone looking for an introduction to sex toys or people who want a sex toy that is discrete.
