SensualAdvisors Review Policy

Our Product Review Principles

SensualAdvisors publishes independent reviews, comparisons, and buying guides for sex toys, intimate wellness products, and connected pleasure technology.

Our goal is to help readers understand how products differ in real-world use, not simply repeat manufacturer claims or product specifications.

We focus on practical factors such as comfort, stimulation, build quality, noise, app reliability, cleaning, materials, durability, and overall value.

✅ How We Select Products

Products may be selected for review or comparison based on factors such as:

• Relevance to the category being reviewed
• Consumer interest and search demand
• Product design or technological differences
• Brand reputation and availability
• Competitive positioning within the market
• Reader interest or frequently asked questions
• New product launches or meaningful product updates

A product does not need to have a specific star rating or sales volume to be considered.

We may also include products that perform poorly when they are useful for comparison or help readers understand important differences within a category.

✅ How We Test and Evaluate Products

Our evaluation criteria depend on the type of product being reviewed.

Depending on the category, we may assess:

• Build quality and materials
• Comfort, fit, and ergonomics
• Vibration, suction, stroking, thrusting, or pressure performance
• Noise and discretion
• App connectivity and remote-control features
• Battery performance and charging
• Ease of cleaning and drying
• Waterproofing and maintenance
• Storage and travel practicality
• Price and overall value
• Differences compared with competing products

Not every product is evaluated using exactly the same criteria. For example, an automatic masturbator, wearable vibrator, prostate massager, and manual sleeve require different testing methods.

✅ Hands-On Testing and Research

When we have direct hands-on experience with a product, we describe the observations made during testing.

Not every statement on SensualAdvisors comes from hands-on testing.

We may also use:

• Manufacturer specifications
• Product documentation
• Publicly available technical information
• Retailer information
• User feedback and public customer reviews
• Comparisons with similar products
• Previous versions of the same product

When information is based on research rather than direct testing, we aim to keep that distinction clear.

We do not claim that every product mentioned on SensualAdvisors has been personally tested in every possible use case.

✅ How We Rank Products

Products are ranked according to the purpose of each article.

There is no single scoring formula used across every category.

Depending on the guide, ranking factors may include:

• Performance
• Comfort and usability
• Product quality
• Reliability
• Features
• Cleaning and maintenance
• Discretion
• Price
• Value for money
• Suitability for a specific use case

A higher-priced product does not automatically rank higher, and a product may rank first in one category while being less suitable for another type of user.

Our rankings are editorial judgments based on the criteria relevant to each article.

✅ Affiliate Relationships and Editorial Independence

Some links on SensualAdvisors are affiliate links.

If you purchase a product through one of these links, we may receive a commission from the retailer at no additional cost to you.

Affiliate commissions help support product research, website hosting, testing, and editorial work.

However:

• Brands cannot pay for a guaranteed positive review.
• Affiliate commission rates do not determine product rankings.
• Products may receive criticism even when we have an affiliate relationship with the retailer or brand.
• We may recommend products that do not provide us with a commission.

Our editorial conclusions are intended to reflect the strengths, weaknesses, and practical value of the products being reviewed.

✅ Product Updates and Corrections

Sex toys and connected products change over time.

Manufacturers may release new versions, discontinue products, update apps, change materials, adjust specifications, or change pricing.

We periodically review existing articles and update them when important product information changes.

If we discover a factual error, outdated specification, broken link, or incorrect product detail, we aim to correct it as soon as reasonably possible.

Readers and manufacturers may report factual issues by contacting us.

✅ Privacy, Shipping, and Retailer Information

Where relevant, we may discuss discreet packaging, shipping, checkout privacy, or retailer policies.

These policies are controlled by the retailer and may change over time.

Readers should confirm current shipping, privacy, return, and warranty policies directly with the retailer before purchasing.
