The Holiday Ball Santa Duckie from Big Teaze Toys is a discreet waterproof vibrator primarily for external use, disguised as a rubber duck and made from body-safe rubber. This is a good little travel vibrator and a brilliant gift.

This is one of the first vibrators I ever owned. He's conveniently rather small, which I quite like, and could pass for a real rubber duck, so if you live with others and don't want awkward questions, he's great.

This vibe could be used to stimulate the entrance to your vagina or anus, but works better when the tail or the duckhead is pressed against your clit; I imagine it would do well at stimulating your perineum too.

The body-safe rubber of the Duckie is pthalate-free latex and feels a lot like a firmer version of a real rubber duck. It is quite firm and won't give with pressure, so don't press down on it too hard or you may hurt yourself.

He has no taste but smells slightly rubbery. The surface has a smooth matte texture which works okay at getting me off, but doesn't provide as much resistance as I'd like when rubbed against my clit.

This little duckie is a convenient size as it could easily be a fairly unremarkable rubber duck. I've even kept it in the bathroom and it went unnoticed. Even better, it's waterproof and can be used in the bath!

There isn't really a part of the toy that can be inserted because of his shape, so he's really just for external use or to stimulate the opening of your anus or vagina.

On the other hand, he's very discreet, if a little heavier than your average duckie. Unfortunately, he floats upside down, which does expose his on/off switch.

When I first got this vibe, it was very quiet, but seems to have developed a slight rattle over time, so I no longer use it if anyone else is in the house. He has one little knob on his belly that you turn - it's not too easy, so I end up using a thumbnail to operate it.

The travel-sized duckie only has one function: normal vibration, which is a little sad. Still, it vibrates just strong enough to get me off, and I imagine someone a little more sensitive could quite easily reach their peak with this little item.

He performs well underwater, although can be heard underneath it, and may be just audible through a door. The buzz is a middle frequency vibration that seems to penetrate your flesh quite well, so I imagine he could do well at stimulating the perineum.

A single battery tends to last me about 40 minutes before slowing down over a span of 10 minutes before the batteries finally die. Hence they need to be replaced frequently, but not ridiculously so.

This guy is really easy to clean. Toy wipes or simply soap and warm water will clean him off fine, or you can have him take a bath with you.
I just store him in a drawer.

The duckie comes in a little bauble, which is fairly nice, but I don't store him in it as I've lost it. If I'd gotten it before Xmas however, I imagine that in a fairly open household he'd have made a brilliant tree decoration and small gift.

This makes a brilliant festive gift and I would definitely consider buying one for a friend who was new to sex toys, as he's cheery, subtle and generally great for beginners. I will definitely break him out again for a bit of fun under the mistletoe next December!
