The Bondage I Rub My Duckie Travel Vibe is a cute and girly vibrator that is intended to be “discreet” and is sold by PinkCherry. The duck is made entirely of plastic, and it takes one AAA battery. It’s about the size of a tube of lipstick, and it’s pretty easy to hide in most places.
The Bondage I Rub My Duckie Travel Vibe is the travel-sized version of the I Rub My Duckie. This means that he basically fits into the palm of your hand. While the Bondage duckie itself is actually more of a yellow/black instead of this white/pink, I think this ducky is supposed to look more feminine. The duckie itself has a ton of detail put into it. All of the detailing is actually plastic and raised from the surface with the paint painted on top of it. This means that you can feel each one of the details on your fingers.
There are lots of little details too. The duckie is wearing a pretty pink ball gag, and the duckie actually has a little “nose ring” gem on the tip of its nose too. The bondage duck is wearing a little spiked collar, and it also is wearing a corset-like bondage outfit that “laces-up” in the front of it. The duck’s wings are also in the outfit as well. Each one of these pieces can be easily felt when handling the duck as each piece is part of the design of the plastic instead of just being painted on.
I love the I Rub My Duckie vibrators. When I take them out to friends or show them off, they are always a hit. They always want to know where I got this little vibrator, and in the kink community, I know a couple of people have bought one. This little vibrator does vibrate, but it seems like the main purpose is just to be a cute gag gift to show off. I know that we keep mine in the playroom on a shelf, but it doesn’t get used too often.
The duck is very light-weight and easy to pack. The reasoning behind the I Rub My Duckie line is that the ducks were meant to be waterproof and discreet enough that no one would think twice when they see a duck in your shower or bathtub. While that certainly does work with the other ducks in the I Rub My Duckie series, it really doesn’t work that well with this one as this one is obviously in bondage gear, so it’s not very discreet. However, I do absolutely love the look of this one, and it sits out on our bedroom shelf where lots of people always remark about how cute it is, so it still serves its purpose.
The biggest issue with this little ducky is the battery compartment and operation of the vibrator. As this I Rub My Duckie vibrator is waterproof, it does require a bit more effort to get into the battery compartment. You have to use a flat-head screwdriver, a penny, or your fingernail to twist over the battery compartment, and once you do, it takes AAA batteries. The battery goes in easily, but again, it does take those external items in order to get the battery change, so this can be an issue if your sex toy dies mid-use. In order to turn on the vibrator, you have to turn the dial on the base with your fingers to turn on/off the vibrations. This dial isn’t too hard to turn on, but it can be difficult to turn off as the duck will be vibrating already. It only has the single speed, and it’s pretty difficult to accidentally change the vibration while you’re using it.
How does it work? it does vibrate alright, but the vibrations are a bit loud. If you were using this in a bathroom, other people in the house would certainly know that you were using it. It isn’t nearly as loud as the regular-sized duck, but it is louder than most other toys. The vibrations are moderate in strength, and coupled with the fact that it can be difficult to find the proper “position” for this duck, you may find yourself not getting as much pleasure from this duck as you had hoped.
For use, honestly, this isn’t the best vibrator for orgasms. The vibrations are alright, but just attempting to hold the duck in a way that is pleasurable for orgasms. It will work in a pinch, but I’ve never had an easy time attempting to situate this duck in the most pleasurable position. As the vibrations seem to center around his butt and his bill, it’s just an odd time to attempt to get the strongest of the vibrations onto your most-sensitive areas. The tail-end seems to be much easier for orgasmic potential as you can hold the duck’s head while you use it, but again, it can be a bit awkward. We did find much more use for it as an upper-back massager, but you want to make sure to cover it in some sort of lubricant (we used massage oil) as the palstic detailing can be a bit uncomfortable if you attempt to glide the duck over the skin without any lube.
Cleaning the duckie is pretty easy. The duckie is waterproof, so you can use regular cleaning without having to worry about getting water in the battery compartments. We’ve had no issue with water, and I’ve actually tried this little guy in the shower. While he doesn’t float upright like a regular rubbie duckie does, he does seem to stay afloat – but he does fall over sideways (poor duck!). It’s compatible with all types of lubricant, and if you want, you can leave this vibrator wherever as it doesn’t collect any lint or dust.
Overall, while this isn’t an amazing vibrator, it’s not horrible either. The Bondage I Rub My Duckie was really just intended as more of a “gag” gift, but if you’re in a pinch, it can work for a vibrator as well. From what we’ve found, the I Rub My Duckie ducks tend to just work best as all-over body massagers instead of being used for sexual pleasure. Plus, if you have sexually-accepting friends, the duck is just really cute and fun to show-off as a “Look what I own!” piece. Thanks to Pink Cherry Sex Toys for sending me this Big Teaze Toys duck for my Bondage I Rub My Duckie Travel Vibe review.
