How We Test

We sell the products our testers review, so you deserve to know exactly how a review is made, who writes it and what they get in return. Here's the whole process.

Who our testers are

Our testers are Filipino customers and invited creators, all 18 or older and living in the Philippines. Some are first-timers and some have more experience, because a product that's perfect for one person can be too much for another. Each review says how experienced its tester is.

What testers receive. Testers get the product free and 20% off their next order once their review is published. They are not paid for good scores, and every review says this at the top.

How a test works

1

We match the product

We choose products to suit each tester's experience and interests.

2

It ships discreetly

Testers get the same plain, unmarked box as every customer, so they experience delivery as you will.

3

Two weeks of real use

Testers use the product as intended for at least two weeks, in their own homes.

4

Scores and a written review

They score six criteria from 1 to 5 and tell you who it suits, who it doesn't and what surprised them.

5

We check facts, not opinions

We correct details such as price or materials. We don't change scores or remove criticism.

6

Published with disclosure

The review goes live under the tester's chosen name, stating that the product was free.

What testers score

Every toy is scored from 1 to 5 on the same six things, chosen with first-time buyers in mind.

Criterion What the tester looks at
Beginner-friendliness Could someone new to this use it confidently on day one?
Comfort and feel Material, shape, size and how it feels in use.
Ease of use Buttons, settings, the app if there is one, and charging.
Noise and discretion How quiet it is, and how easy it is to store privately at home.
Cleaning and care How easy it is to clean, and whether it's waterproof.
Value for money Whether it's worth the price compared with similar options.

Lubricants are scored on texture, how long they last, clean-up and staining, scent and taste, compatibility with toys and condoms, and comfort for sensitive skin.

What the scores mean

The overall tester score is the average of the six criteria. Where a product also has ratings from verified buyers, we show those separately so you can compare.

Score Meaning
5 Excellent. The tester would recommend it without hesitation.
4 Very good, with minor drawbacks.
3 Good for some people. Read who it suits.
2 Disappointing. Most people should choose something else.
1 Doesn't do what it promises.

What we never do

  • Pay or reward testers for high scores.
  • Hide or delete low scores and negative reviews.
  • Let brands read or edit reviews before they're published.

If a product keeps scoring poorly, we say so, suggest a better option and review whether to keep selling it.
