@Blonde_Bunny - Thank you for the mention
You do an excellent job mrs n Iām the same I want to read every review possible before making the purchase n its not been possible on my tablet n I donāt wanna change me privacy settings, the net steals enough so Iāve made one purchase I think since the new world cos I need reviews big time. Oh I meant to add about lingerie sizing, what is your size? how does the lingerie fits? Whatās the material feel like? Does it flatter the figure? cup size? will it cover my arse? does it roll up? Okay rein it in Alyssa we get the picture
No but itās easy for you to say cos your reviews are great but my grammar n wordings abysmal, I can and will give as much detail as possible. Iām going to give it a go though cos I think theyād help sumbody
Reviews get easier to write the more you write them so write a few for different products and see how you feel. I would say start with products you fee quite passionate about (positive or negative) as these can often be a little easier to write. Or start with something simple and fairly factual. For example, although a storage bag wonāt need a massively long review 99.9% of the time, simply putting whether or not it does the job you want it to (discretion, organisation, keeping dust off, travel etc), whether youāve had any issue with it (ripping, dye transfer, ties braking) and how many/what items youāve stored in it will just get you writing (and will be helpful)
There are always people who just want reassurance that someone else bought the product and liked it, or people wanting a review dated in the last few months particularly on products that have been sold for years (in case anything had changed about the product since the earlier reviews). Whereas others want lots of details or inspiration on how to introduce and use the product during sex (solo, partnered or grouped). Others want something else entirely.
But in any case, you will be helping people. If you find yourself enjoying writing them, then you can write more. If you found it ok, then just write ones when you feel there is something you really want to say. If you donāt like it, then there is no requirement to keep going.
And @Blonde_Bunny thank you for the mention, i needed that little pick up this morning
Youāre very welcome @Calie and itās very true. Your reviews have been inspirational to me from the first time I ever read one of them. I truly mean that
I canāt say Iāve seen your reviews as Iāve 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 youāre down the middle n donāt 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 Iāll give it a go. Iād lost my passion for them for awhile but itās back now n the advice here is helping allot, the reviews I put up yesterdayās been really well received getting lots of hearts n comments n itās making me really happy
I love the way you made the storage bag review though as itās smaller items that I struggle with other than whether itās pretty or not, how it washes n thatād of been me stuck but youāve opened my eyes massively, Iāve 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 havenāt 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 thatās a pretty good review. If youāre 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 āI didnāt check so and soā then I would pause and go and check it if you can, rather than guess.
Different items have slightly different review techniques, and I donāt tend to do bondage items that much so Iām 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.
Thereās 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, weāve 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 ādoes it do the job wellā 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 youāve 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 didnāt end up liking it, it wasnāt the toy it was something up his bum he didnāt like. I decided not to review the toy as it wouldnāt be fair to give it a low rating because it wasnāt the toys fault.
Anyways since then Iāve used it and itās now in my collection but as a female is there any point in reviewing the toy. I donāt have a prostate and thatās what the toy is for. Would I be wasting my time reviewing it as a female? What would others do?
Women enjoy anal stimulation and anal toys so if you enjoyed it, thereās no reason why you canāt review it from a female perspective.
I agree with @WillC there will be other women looking in the reviews hoping for a womens perspective. Definitely write the review.
I have no problem reviewing anal toys but as itās a prostate one then Iām unsure. Would there be woman out there looking at them sort of toys?
Well if you have tried it and enjoyed it, maybe other women may enjoy it. Just cos itās predominantly a prostate toy, doesnāt mean a woman canāt enjoy using it.
Brilliant Thankyou. Il get doing a review for it.
Late to the party but as the others have said yes, definitely review it. Make it clear itās from your female perspective but explain what you liked and didnāt 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.
Iām glad now Iāve come on here to ask the question. Iāve been putting my self off writing this review for weeks now, thinking that itās a stupid idea.
I like reviews with a bit of heart. Mainly I want to know if people really think itās 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 itās 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, itās hard for me to have anything less than a great time.
That might colour my reviews
Ha haā¦ that did make me laugh. Just like having the TV remote next to you so you can change channels from your sofa!!
Great reviewā¦Shame Iām not a woman! x
