I wanted to love my Red Devil Duckie|Red devil duckie - Massager by Big Tease Toys. I love the idea of a duckie-shaped vibrator|I rub my duckie - Discreet massager, and he's so very cute. Initially, I was disappointed. But when I tried him in his native habitat, I realized that loving him had been right all along.

While I was expecting my Red Devil Duckie to be heavier than the bathtub toy I grew up with, I was rather surprised to find he had the size and heft of a baseball, and was hard and solid rather than the soft rubber I had anticipated. I also discovered that he is unusually difficult to turn on; my husband can do it fairly easily, but I usually need to put the Duckie on something and press with both thumbs. As a result, turning the toy on can interrupt the sexy mood, which is less than ideal.

We tried the Red Devil Duckie in the shower first. My husband actually enjoyed it when I used the Duckie on him, which is unusual because he generally doesn't enjoy vibrators. But the shape of the Duckie allowed it to stimulate more of him at once, and he loved the sensations.

I loved the broad belly of the Duckie against my belly and breasts, and using the tail for clitoral stimulation did bring me to orgasm eventually – but the toy was too wide to be really comfortable. An advantage of the Duckie is that my husband could feel the vibrator while using the tail on me – with some experimenting it would not be difficult to use the Duckie on both persons at once.

We later tried the Red Devil Duckie in our bed, and found again that the wide belly was excellent for body massage, but the toy was too wide to use on my vulva. After awhile, the vibrations began to feel itchy, so we put it aside.

When I took a bath, however, I learned that the Red Devil Duckie is clearly designed to be used in the bathtub. Since it floats, the water counterbalances the weight of the toy, so that it feels far less awkward. The shape of the bathtub also encourages the position – knees bent and up a little, legs apart – that allows the Duckie to be used most effectively. The water cushions the vibrations, so that it was far more effective. Held under water, the vibrations tickled my legs and aroused me. Once I was ready for more direct stimulation, the weight and shape of the Duckie meant that I could hold it loosely in place, and the tail would vibrate firmly against my clit, allowing me to relax into orgasm without having to continually adjust the pressure of my hands. That was simply wonderful! I came again and again, until the water got cold.

If you don't have a bathtub, the Red Devil Duckie probably isn't a good choice. But if you do, the Red Devil Duckie will tempt you to spend far more time using it!
