I can’t say I’ve seen your reviews as I’ve not got to read any on the main site for all but the points that you made on the wiki and your excellent advice shows n the fact you’re down the middle n don’t hold back with saying what you feel combined are excellent qualities
Oh I do write reviews already lol but the quality here has put me off but I’ll give it a go. I’d lost my passion for them for awhile but it’s back now n the advice here is helping allot, the reviews I put up yesterday’s been really well received getting lots of hearts n comments n it’s making me really happy
I love the way you made the storage bag review though as it’s smaller items that I struggle with other than whether it’s pretty or not, how it washes n that’d of been me stuck but you’ve opened my eyes massively, I’ve noted those points for future reference. Thanks for the advice bab
My first reviews where pretty mediocre to be honest. Waffly and without a good info to word count ratio, and not as informative as my current ones are. Learning to write them is definitely a process.
This is a good place to start. Ask the questions youd want to know the answers to if you where buying it (Is it loud, how much can you fit in it, is it well made, what are the vibrations and patterns like) And go from there. You already pointed out all the stuff for the lingerie so you know what your doing.
Doesnt have to be shakespear
I have done a few reviews on love honey but to be honest they haven’t been brilliant.
My most recent one I put lots more details to it. If any one could please read it and give honest feedback I would really appreciate it.
I think that’s a pretty good review. If you’re looking for things to add, a wrist measurement would be useful so people can get a tape measure out at home and judge how loose/tight the item might be from that information. Also if you find yourself typing ‘I didn’t check so and so’ then I would pause and go and check it if you can, rather than guess.
Different items have slightly different review techniques, and I don’t tend to do bondage items that much so I’m not the expert , but looking at the other reviews for similar items can often give me inspiration for extra details to include in my own reviews.
There’s also the Review Hall of Fame with all the winners and runners-up of the old Review of the Month competition in that can be good to crib ideas from.
Personally i would have edited out the first paragraph. Not everyone will read a whole review so getting strait into whether you liked them or not. And getting into the main meat of the review itself is, for me, a good way to cut down on my habit of going off on tangents (its easy to do, we’ve all done it)
Theres alot of good points in your review. Like @Ian_Chimp mentioned though, i like to give measurements too, so hard to guess sizes from pictures online.
I like how you mentioned the pattern was more subtile in person. Thats the kind of thing you can only learn by handling an object and the kind of info i look for in reviews.
With bondage i like to mention
-comfort when in use (eg. Softness, does it rub when on, does it dig in, will it still be comfy during a vigorous session?)
-durability and how sturdy all the fittings, materials and fixings seem.
-how well it fit (i like to give a wrist/ankle/neck/etc measurement, say how the fit was for me and what buckle hole etc i wore it on)
-ease of getting it on and off
-item quality
(If its an impact or sensation toy, you also want to mention things like how loud it was in use, what level and range of pain it gives (eg, gentle pinch, hard thwack, decent bite, sting etc).
Plus how easy it was to use and/or hold)
It varies obviously dependent on the Object. Basically your trying to answer the question “does it do the job well” just in resonable detail.
At the end of the day, everyone writes them in their own style. Keep at it
Ps. Dont be afraid to hack a review about after you’ve written it to get good flow. i often move chunks to get mine to read well.
Thankyou @Ian_Chimp and @Green_Eyed_Girl for taking the time to read my review. I really appreciate all the feedback you have both given. I will take it all on board for the next time I do a review.
Instead of creating another topic just for this question I thought I would add it here and see what you all think.
A few months back I bought my other half a prostate vibrating toy. He had never used anything up his bum before but said he would try it. He didn’t end up liking it, it wasn’t the toy it was something up his bum he didn’t like. I decided not to review the toy as it wouldn’t be fair to give it a low rating because it wasn’t the toys fault.
Anyways since then I’ve used it and it’s now in my collection but as a female is there any point in reviewing the toy. I don’t have a prostate and that’s what the toy is for. Would I be wasting my time reviewing it as a female? What would others do?
Well if you have tried it and enjoyed it, maybe other women may enjoy it. Just cos it’s predominantly a prostate toy, doesn’t mean a woman can’t enjoy using it.
Late to the party but as the others have said yes, definitely review it. Make it clear it’s from your female perspective but explain what you liked and didn’t like about it. New ways of using traditionally specific toys is one of the things I really look for in reviews. There will be plenty of people interested to read your review.
I like reviews with a bit of heart. Mainly I want to know if people really think it’s a quality product and it leads to a great experience. If I hear that a husband and wife have a great time using a product, that it works well / fits well and is of a high standard, then it will be high on my list.
Most of my own reviews are pretty gushing about how good the product is - mainly because I only part with cash if I have read a ton of reviews that let me know it’s a 5 star product.
For the most part, I love having sex with my amazing wife and if she dresses up in lingerie and plays with toys, it’s hard for me to have anything less than a great time.
That might colour my reviews
