In the modern era of high paced life and stress, the bathroom is often viewed as a lot more than just a purely functional room. It often takes on the role of a sort of haven of peace from the outside world. Many people now use the bathroom as a place to relax and unwind, with luxury bathing and cosmetic treatments. Few people, however, consider the bath room to be a source of fun and pleasure. Children, on the other hand, seem able to see bath time as fun, and often responsible for this, are rubber duck bathroom accessories. Common for decades, they are now becoming more popular than ever, with many different varieties.

It is now even possible to get a rubber duck bathroom accessory that is also a radio! Now you can lie in the bath and relax, while enjoying your favorite AM or FM radio stations, not on your radio, but on your duck! These AM and FM rubber duck radios use standard AAA batteries, and of course you can always use rechargeable batteries to be kinder to the environment. The rubber duck radio has a speaker in its head, which is resistant to water. You turn the head to turn the radio on or off, and to change the volume level. Turning the tail will change the radio’s station. The buttons to switch between AM and FM are located on the body of the duck. Now you can relax in the bath with your favourite music.

You can also get rubber duck bathroom accessories which can change colour. These rubber ducks work by changing color based on temperature. When you place the rubber duck into your warm bath water at the start of your bath, it will change color as the surface of the duck heats up. As your bath cools down, or if you get out of the bath and take your duck with you, the duck will change back to the original colour. As well as being capable of changing color, these ducks also squeak when they are squeezed, so they are a fantastic source of fun, especially for the younger members of the family.

Designer rubber duck bathroom accessories are now being made in many different kinds of designs and colors. Many of these ducks have their own special pet name, and are almost collectors’ items. Who knows? Your children could find that collecting the many different styles and types of designer rubber duck could be as fascinating a hobby as stamp or coin collecting! Another type of duck that is often seen is the so-called “Giant” rubber duck. As these are about 30 centimetres long, “Giant” is probably a bit of an exaggeration, but they are certainly a hit with a certain type and age of bather.

One of the more modern of the rubber duck bathroom accessories is the duck that can glow in the dark. These are definitely not traditional, and rely on fairly modern technology to be effective. These ducks work on light emitting diodes which activate the water and create the glow in the dark effect. They can be used as mood lighting if the main bathroom lights are switched off, and the duck is placed in the water. The ultimate in un-traditional rubber duck bathroom accessories is the i-duck. This is a glow in the dark duck which is white with a silver beak, and comes in a mock i-Pod box. They didn’t have those in the old days.
