Does sending a sample get my product ranked?

No. A sample gets a fair hands-on test. Where it lands on a list follows the same method as everything else on the site, and it may not make a list at all. Placement is never for sale.

Will you disclose that the product was free?

Yes. Every toy that came in as a free sample says so on its card and on each list that ranks it. Toys we bought ourselves are labelled that way too.

Do you write negative reviews?

Yes. Every review names the catch. If a toy is loud, slips, or the charger dies, we say so. If it fails basic body-safety (unlabelled materials, porous jelly), we won't feature it.

Do you earn commission?

Yes, through retailer affiliate programs (for example SheVibe via Impact and Intimatify via Awin). Commission never changes who ranks where. If your product is sold at a retailer we already link, it is easier for readers to buy.

Do you take paid posts, sponsored rankings, or do-follow links?

No paid placement, no sponsored rankings, and no link sales. Shop links are marked sponsored and nofollow.

Do you return samples?

Hygiene products can't be reused, so most samples are kept by Bedside CSO (Chief Sex Officer). If you need a unit back, include a prepaid return label and say so in your pitch.

Bedside CSO (Chief Sex Officer) uses it hands-on: noise, battery, fit, cleaning, and the catch.
