Not The Plushy Heaven I Was Hoping For

The Key Charms are adorable, but they just aren't very functional. The sleeve makes for difficult cleaning, the vibrations are loud yet weak, and don't even get me started on the cap. It does have some good qualities, like the plush design and the silky silicone, but that just doesn't make up for its lack of functionality. I'm disappointed, to say the least.

Use
The Key Charms Plush is a small, multifunctional vibrator that is best suited for clitoral use. Due to its size, I would not recommend this toy for anal use, as it will easily get lost inside you. The toy is also waterproof, so you can use it in the bath and shower.

Material/Texture/Design
The Plush is made of multiple components. It has a removable sleeve that is made of silicone, which rates a ten on the Eden material safety scale. Its main body underneath the sleeve is made of ABS plastic with a PU Cote, which rates a seven on Eden's material safety scale. The button and screw cap is made from stainless alloy. The Plush's silicone sleeve resembles a woven quilt and provides lots of lovely sensations when rubbed against the skin. It is seamless and silky smooth with only a slight odor. The sleeve is very firm when on the toy, but isn't rock solid. It has just the tiniest amount of give, but not much. When the sleeve is removed it can be bent, manipulated, and squeezed. The black, plastic bullet underneath the silicone is very smooth with little drag. It does have a slight seam running vertically around the toy. It also has a slight odor. The metal parts are cold and hard, as you would expect metal to be.

The Plush is small. It is about the size of the Mia 2 around, but a little shorter in length. I measured it and found it to be just over three inches around and just over four inches long. It does not have any curves or bends to it, it is just a straight bullet. The Plush has a single button on it that is located on the stainless alloy component. The Button Has the word "KEY" engraved into it and also features a little picture of a key. It's pretty darling looking. The entire metal component unscrews off. This is not a normal screw top. It is the kind that has specific grooves and ridges that line up and screw on. Once lined up, the cap only screws a tiny bit before it is locked. It doesn't provide a real security that it is closed because there is no obvious click.

Functions/Performance/Controls
The Plush runs on a single AA battery and is operated with the button mentioned previously. One click turns the toy on, and continuous clicks will cycle through the five patterns. The picture below shows them as they are displayed in the manual. They are High, High 2, Tease, Pulse, and Throb. The manual says that at any time you can hold the button down for three seconds and the toy will shut off. I found that it really only takes two.

Care and Maintenance
The Plush can be cleaned using soap and water, or toy cleaners/wipes. The silicone portion can be wiped down with a 10% bleach solution. However, I would only do this if the sleeve is removed so that you can be sure to rinse everything off. Never boil the Plush or put it in the dishwasher or you will ruin the motor. Always remove the battery before storage.

If you are using the toy with the sleeve on then only use water-based lubricant. If you are using the toy without the sleeve then you can go ahead and use silicone-based lubricant. Storage is easy, as the toy comes with a small bag that easily hold the toy and the battery.

Packaging
The Plush's packaging was cute, but kind of annoying. It comes in a small box hat has a wrap-around sleeve. The box opens like a book to reveal the toy in a foam molding. There is a little ribbon that pulls the foam cutout out so that you can access the manuals and carrying bag beneath. At first I didn't realize this, and I was like, where the hell is the rest of it? But I figured it out cause I'm just that smart. *wink*

The manuals provide some information such as technical specifications, warranty information, usage directions, and patterns. The drawstring bag is kind of thin and flimsy, but it is otherwise well made. It has a little tag with the Key logo so that when you are digging through your drawer of toys you can easily find your Key Charms.

Experience
The Cap
The cap is a pain in the butt. I found it very difficult to take it off or put it on while the sleeve was on. Since it doesn't give a good click I can never tell if it is on good. It is also hard to press hard enough to keep the spring down while turning when putting it on. Yeah, it's a pain. It is a little easier when the sleeve is removed, but not much.

Cleaning
This toy just kind of gets on my nerves when it comes to cleaning. Normally I prefer to just wash my toys with soap and water, but I find it difficult to do that with this one. Since the sleeve is removable, I feel like things such as bodily fluids and soap are going to get trapped down in the cracks between it and the bullet. This means that I have to remove the sleeve before I do any cleaning, and wait for the whole thing to dry before putting it away. This brings me to my next section...

The Sleeve
The sleeve is a pain to remove. I knew you could do it because I had read other reviews on the Key Charms, but when I tried I failed miserably. Whenever I tried to get it off I always ended up somehow removing the cap too. I have finally learned to just ease it off, but it's still hard for me.

The Power
The power for this toy isn't what I hoped. When I saw how thick the silicone sleeve was I got worried. How could the vibrations get through it? Well, the answer is that they don't, at least not well. With the sleeve on the High mode is about three vrooms. To get the goods you have to take the sleeve off, and then you get about four vrooms. It's kind of sad that you have to ditch the pretty little sleeve to get the goods.

The vibrations are pretty buzzy, and I do hear some rattling here and there during use. It can get to about three bees.

I am happy that the button gives an audible click so that I can be sure I'm actually clicking it.

All in All
I think this toy is adorable and it gets me off (although not superbly), but I ultimately had to rate it down significantly because of all the flaws. I wish I liked it more, but it turns out the Key Charms Plush is more about the looks and less about the function.
