That advice sounds awfully familiar

That is a wonderful suggestion that seems really obvious. Thank you.

They're on the product page, restating is just filler really. Unless the dimensions are off (it happens), then show us. Put a can of soda ... more
I'm ok with seeing measurements in a written review, because I personally hate having to flip back and forth between a review and a product page. But unless it's super relevant to the video, go ahead and leave it out of that.

Am I allowed to disagree with you?

Sometimes I see a review before I see the product page, or I'm looking at so many items/reviews I don't want to have to keep clicking back to the product page to remember the size. Just sayin'...

i always put measurements in because people always ask on my review! i started just commenting back that it was listed on the profile but then i figured i'd just add it in the review to save time and lower review ratings by folks who wanted to see it there and dint know about the profile info feature...

Another thing to think about when shooting a video review is your background.

Delicious Surprise did a good video review that showed just how easy and effective a good back drop can have when showing off a product.

Would it be important to talk about the material with things like collars or positioning aids in regards to allergies. I am very sensitive but sometimes dont think of these things until after the fact.

I love this idea. I would definitely include all the safety information for friends, so adding that in reviews is always appreciated, even for us regulars.

I can be disagreed with

I have my own tastes and preferences, BUT the nice thing is that everyone likes different things in a review! You're not writing them for me, you're writing the review for the person who's looking at buying a toy

I think so. Certain materials make me itchy and that really distracts from the sexiness of the situation.

yeah, I like it in the written review but unless you are comparing it with something else leave it out of a video, same with those plastic basic packages

I don't know if you need to with items such as those as long as you discuss what the materials actually are. Personally, I think of allergy discussions more so with things like lubes or anything scented.

I agree. If you mention the materials, someone that is allergic should pick up on that right away.

I have a question, if you purchased something that you used with a partner like a cock ring would it be appropriate to review, or is it more appropriate for someone with a with a penis to review that?
