It’ll only affect you in the sense of you (hopefully) not getting selected for products that you would dislike
Eg. If someone mentioned they dislike battery powered toys, they would be unlikely to be selected for battery powered toys in the future.
I work behind the scenes to match toys with people I think will love them, but without honest reviews, this can be really hard! So whether the review is positive, negative, or somewhere in the middle - they all help build a picture - which really helps when pairing people with toys
I enjoy every time I see someone brand new to this forum and their first post is along the lines of ‘I want to be a tester / give me free stuff’.
It’s the main reason I follow this post.
A suggestion for secret/toy testers when it’s a potential upcoming product: it would be nice to know its rough price/worth as I believe to me, that can affect how I’d review a toy
say something is performing quite poorly.. but you know it IS going to be a cheap starter toy (for me) it would review better than if I thought it was going to be priced higher
And same for the opposite way, it something is performing ok to well but you’d know it IS going to be expensive it would effect my views on it
I see how this could go both ways as the price could and would effect our reviews but it’s something I often wonder about when reviewing the unknown
Just got an email yesterday to say i have been picked to test my first item. Have been waiting for almost a year so am really pleased i have been given the chance.
Quick question - I’ve done reviews and have been lucky to receive a tester. I only sign up for things I’d be willing to try but can I sign up for thing my partner is willing to try? Totally fine if that’s not ok because I’d have to write a review based on his feedback which wouldn’t be my style. Just wanted to clarify as I’ve seen comments saying “we’d love to try..” and listed both products like cock rings and a clitoral vibrator.
But so far my partner has only been mentioned in the vaguest way as the tester I have was specific for my pleasure. Something more specific for his pleasure would skew the review which is why I was unsure
We look at all previous reviews when selecting potential testers, so if you have submitted any reviews on toys for him then these are the ones that would be considered. If you haven’t submitted any reviews on toys for him then it is unlikely you would be selected as we do not have any information to help with the decision. If you are interested in testing toys for both of you, then I would suggest leaving some reviews on any toys for him you already own
Hello could I please have some help on what and where I need to start to trial and test any toys or anything really as I am happy to try and test things. My reviews are extremely true and always give my very best feedback. Thanks. X
All you need to do is vote/comment in the tester posts when they appear and have patience
There are obviously a whole lot more volunteers than testers available so nothing is guaranteed.
If you want feedback on reviews you’ve written, then Brenna can probably help, or there is a Reviewing Reviews topic where experienced testers can give feedback too
Could you confirm if an email with measurements has been received? Just as a suggestion as I appreciate you’re all busy and probably not checking emails but would a form or an auto email confirmation be possible or maybe a little section/”about me” on your profile (not public though) to express preferences and sizes (like gender or more male or more female orientated toys are for you) which could allow quicker matching? (Not sure if anyone just votes in everything regardless)
Yes, measurements have been received. There is not a way to set up an auto-response just for these emails, as far as I know, as it is not a dedicated email just for measurements.
Potential testers are still required to vote in topics as normal, measurements are just required for lingerie so that the correct size can be selected
Do we get told if we are blacklisted? I’m just worried because I had issues with the last few reviews I did not posting even though it did on my end when I clicked, but I had to redo them. Its been a long time now since then, like a very long time. I was in a major accident nearly 2 years ago and I can’t remember if it was before or after that but it was around that time somewhere. I just wonder if I am even being considered now. I would have messaged you @Lovehoney_Brenna but can’t see an option to do that. I hope I’m not blacklisted but if I am it would be good to know, as disappointed as I would be.
@JoCat is completely correct - we welcome all honest reviews
