Funky Rabbit: the bunny that hasn't aged well

Everyone knows the rabbit: a shaft for internal stimulation, a little arm with ears for the clitoris, both at the same time. The Funky Rabbit sticks to the original recipe, the one from the 2000s, rotating beads included.

I wanted to like it. I didn’t really, and I need to explain why, because the main reason goes beyond this particular model.

The problem with the material

The Funky Rabbit is made of jelly. It’s a soft, translucent, cheap material, and above all a porous one: its surface has micro-cavities where bacteria settle and which no amount of washing fully reaches.

In concrete terms:

• you can’t disinfect it all the way through, only wash the surface;
• it holds on to smells, and it has one all of its own straight out of the box;
• it degrades over time and mustn’t touch other toys in the drawer.

My recommendation is simple: if you use it, put a condom over it, every time. That’s what I did for this test.

In use

With four AA batteries on board, the thing is big (24 cm), heavy and noisy. The bead motor gives off a mechanical whirr that is impossible to ignore.

The sensations themselves aren’t bad. The beads turning at the entrance of the vagina massage in a way no classic vibrator can reproduce. The clitoral arm vibrates decently, even if its softness sometimes makes it slip off target.

But you adjust everything with dials on a control box, you can’t take it into the shower, and you need to keep a stock of batteries.

Care

Wash the surface with warm soapy water, without ever getting the battery compartment wet. Dry it slowly and completely. Store it separately, in a fabric pouch.

My verdict

Two grapes. The rabbit concept deserves to be discovered, but not with this model: for a similar budget, there are silicone rabbits, rechargeable and waterproof, that will last for years. This one belongs to a generation it’s time to let go of.
