Hi @Nathan1995anal ,
The additional things I would like to know are what the frequency of the vibrations are like, are they buzzy or more rumbly? And how strong?
Also, though certainly not essential if you don’t want to share the information, how did it sit for your partner during sex? Did it hit the right places? Were some positions better than others?
I really appreciate the information on sizing as this is one of the key bits I look for in cock ring reviews.
Absolutely!
Though… a large amount of people volunteering for testers (so, who’s reviews do need to impress Lovehoney) leave one line reviews or reviews that tell you nothing useful and then wonder why they don’t get picked as testers. I think if people follow some of the advice and pointers if the first half of this thread, as to what information to include, it would definitely help them. Admittedly, a lot of it is in the guide now, but just having a reread, I still found it useful.
Style/description/length of writing, level of erotic gushing, etc. should be entirely as the reviewer feels they like it, but please include the important information too.
Your review is good, hits most of the points. Just as @Peitho said, a bit more from your wifes perspective would help. A toy like this can be for both, so your review needs to appeal to both parties. If the ring was stiff, did it dig into either of you? Did you try different positions to see if that changed your perspective? Did you get long from the charge?
I’m guessing that the measurements of the toy would be in the description but I still put them in in case something in my review sparks a thought and saves the gentle reader from scrolling back up 
Theres not loads you can say about a cock ring, so its a good length without a lot of waffle 
Edited for spelling.
It’s an interesting question - “what makes a good review?”
Reading lots of them, and the feedback that’s on this forum, it’s definitely an individual taste.
If I’m buying a toy I will read a lot of the reviews and I’m really wanting to know if the reviewers had a good experience with the toy, if they think it’s value for money and if they recommend (and why)
Personally, I’m a bit of an ambassador for sex toys in general, and aiming to have a great, giggly, sexy experience with your partner. So my reviews are pretty positive - because we generally have a fun time playing!
Having said that, I always aim to be honest about the product and I focus on simple things and standouts.
I want to know if a toy is sexy! I like to know if it’s easy to charge and use, and if it’s fun to play with.
I don’t need a full description of what it looks like (I can see pictures) and what’s in the box.
What stands out is what interests me most - and if a reviewer ended up with a thundering orgasm!
Every toy I’ve ever researched has had both ends of the spectrum - some love, some hate.
Such a personal thing sometimes 
Great post @our-adventure-bed . It was a good learning experience for me to read through all these replies and try to post a review for review. What I quickly learned is that I can not meet everyone’s expectations. I can only share the info that may be of interest to myself should I be considering the purchase. Yes, comments like “It works good”, or “it arrived in a brown box” do not help and have no bearing on the product. Some like short concise posts yet others like detailed info. Some focus on the pros and cons while others like info on how best to use it. I think the best way to go is to simply write a review that answers your own questions or address things you may have wondered about before purchase. The really impressed and the really disappointed reviews are easy to do. It’s the ones in between I have to think about a bit more.
Sorry if this topic has been covered already.
As a couple that are just starting to write reviews together I just wanted to touch on what techniques people use to write reviews.
My partner is a very specifics and bullet point reviewer whereas I love a story, it’s sometimes why our reviews can seem different depending on who is putting there point across.
Just wondered if people like to do intense, fairly raunchy story reviews, or whether they stick straight to the facts and that is that?
Would be interested to see what people think the right way is, if there is a right way?
I thnik your thoughts on the producr rather than a story, its feedback.on the product and your personal opinion than a once upon a time. There is an article on here telling you how to write a good review
I tend to stick to the points. Ill discuss how weve used them and if they had the desired effect. Im pretty sure in the big review guide on here it says not to be too graphic. People want to hear about the settings, was it easy to use, is it noisy, does the suction cup stay in place, does the lingerie fit nicely on different body types etc. They are reading the review to see whether that product would be good for them, not a blow by blow account of your antics using it. 
When I’m reading reviews I want the bullet points: what did you like about it, what didn’t you like about it (or what would improve it, kind of a different spin on “negatives”) and specific points related to what might be a fiddly issue or dealbreaker for other users.
It’s going to be a personal thing, writing to your preferred style will always be better than writing against it.
People read reviews to understand whether the product will be right for them and that could cover an almost infinite variety of variables. So, write about what made it work or not work for you. Think about your own criteria for judging it.
Stories can be engaging but LH will take a view on whether that’s a suitable use of their site and the review section.
Hi @The-Horny-Couple , I’ve moved your question here as this topic has so much advice early on about what a good review is. Lately it’s become more people asking specific advice about their reviews (which is also great and hopefully helpful!) but the start of the tgread is all about how to write a great review.
Thank you @Peitho
To answer your question, (because I seem to have quelled responses by moving you to this topic!) I personally like the story type reviews more as long as all relevant points are addressed. I find them more engaging and they often address specific things missed in other reviews. I would say, I dont mean raunchy, erotic writing, as @FindingLibido says, they’re more likely not to get published and not what I’m looking for, but the personal experience you have with a toy or lingerie is helpful to me. I think quite a few of my reviews have “story type” specifics on issues I personally had, this one of the Jitterbug, or this one with lingerie, when things just don’t work, as examples 
.
As the others have said though, it’s entirely up to you how you write your review. I prefer a bit of engagement and personal experience AS WELL as key information but as long as the information is all there I think most of us will be happy reading them to help us decide if we want to buy a product.
Personal bugbear though… if reviewing lingerie, please everyone, state your specific shape and sizing, what size you bought and how it fitted. For me, this is the most key thing when I’m reading lingerie reviews.
I unfortunately don’t do reviews but that is because I am not particularly good with the written word. Numbers / maths is far more my thing. I think any review needs to give details of the product, size etc your initial thoughts, packaging, how you used it (if a toy). Effect it had on you, may be time. After effects and cleaning.
We totally agree with you on this point, @Peitho.
Same, this point is the most important aspect of lingerie reviews for me.
@The-Horny-Couple to answer your question, I’m happy to have a story if its got a point to it but I’m not going to read a raunchy review.
You can be playful and talk frankly about sex without saying she did this and I did that and he said/she said. I want to know what worked and what didn’t so that I know if its what I’m looking for.
One bug bear is mention of the parcel arriving in non descript packaging, I’m bored immediately by this and unless theres a lack of descriptive reviews, I’m probably moving on.
