Work With Me

I work with companies to publicly review products on my blog, test products with private feedback, and write sponsored blog posts. I share my reviews on Bluesky and an active Discord server for collectors. I additionally make at least one post on social media featuring the product when I receive it. Bluesky is currently my primary social media platform.

I approach reviews with the perspective that what doesn’t work for me may still work for others. I tend not to label toys as good vs. bad, but rather provide information about my experience to help readers make an informed decision.

All posts include my own honest opinions and relevant disclaimers. My primary goal is to offer information to my readers. All links related to business/review/affiliate agreements will be marked as nofollow/sponsored.

Overview/short version:
If you are interested in a review, promo, or testing feedback, send me a message! Let me know what you’d like to be covered, or let me choose what interests me most. If I’m not keen on the proposal, I’ll happily discuss alternatives. Promos can have very quick turnaround, while reviews usually have 2-3 month turnaround after receiving the product.

In most cases, I will not charge fees for indie brands as long as the brand provides the product(s) and the total product value per article/per promo exceeds $50 USD.

There may be a fee for reviews or promos for non-indie brands and retailers (unless I am participating in the affiliate program).

Blog post reviews:
The brand sends me a copy of the product and I write a review. If I already own the product, I already plan to review it someday, but may accept payment to prioritize it and add it to my active queue.

Sponsored single-brand review posts will not include outgoing links to competing products, but will include internal links to other posts on my blog, may include comparisons to other products that I own, and may include mentions of products from other brands.

If multiple products are involved, these may be reviewed in the same article or separate articles at my discretion or per an agreement. Multi-product review posts will only involve related items from the same brand/company/retailer, like in this post, unless otherwise agreed upon in advance.

Products:
I will review products made from silicone, glass, steel, or wood. I may review vibrators, small furniture, plush products, handles, sex toy accessories, and lube.

I will not review products made from TPE, jelly, or latex. I will not review restraints, pain-related kink gear, lingerie, clothing, large furniture, or sex machines.

Brands may request that I review specific products, or let me take my pick from their lineup/inventory. For products with more than one size or firmness option, I will select the size and firmness options that work best for me. We can discuss alternatives if necessary, but please do not send something outside of my preferences without discussing it first.

Additional items that were not involved in the agreement may be included, like standard bonus goodies included with typical orders, or small items like squishies or promotional items that you would like included in photos. I will briefly note them in the article and include them in a photo, but I will probably not review them unless agreed to in advance. Please do not include lube samples without verifying with me first due to allergies.

Social media promos:
Arranged promotions will be noted with #ad or similar disclosure and will include the @ handle on Bluesky. In the unlikely event that the product is unsatisfactory to the point where I cannot recommend it, I will contact the brand to discuss alternative actions.

You may provide the product, or pay to promote a product I already own. I will not promote a product I do not own.

Brand requirements:
I will work with most indies and some retailers and big name brands.

I will not work with brands whose sites only feature For Him/For Her/For Couples categories. I’m a trans man and my audience includes trans people—we deserve to shop with dignity.

I will not work with brands whose partnership requirements demand positive reviews or prohibit criticism of the product and/or brand itself.

I am extremely unlikely to work with brands whose values do not align with my own, such as those who embrace generative AI. There may be a rare exception for highly notable products, but those will involve a disclaimer regarding the brand’s usage of generative AI.
