How do you rate a product that you don't care for because of personal preference?

Contributor: removedacnt removedacnt
I just did a review on a vibe that I didn't like because it didn't do a thing for me. But....it was extremely well made. There were no other cons than the fact that the vibrations were pretty weak in my opinion. So I gave it 4 stars.

What do you think? How do you decide in cases like this?

I read your review and it seemed like you did a really good job that covered a lot of information about the vibe. In a case like that, I give the pros and cons of the product and what I did and did not like. That's exactly what you did.

Here's a few questions that I thought of after I read your review.
Can you go into more detail about the texture? Was it stimulating? Is this vibe good for thrusting?
Did the texture provide stimulation inside the vagina, for the clit or none of the above?

The texture looks appealing to me and I don't like strong vibes. That type of information is helpful to someone because some people like strong vibes and others don't! Good job on the review

I try to guess how I think the majority of people are. Like.. Internal vibes don't do much for me but if they're relatively well made, I'm not going to give it only 1 star. I think of it like this: "for people who this toy would hit the spot, how well would it hit?"

Thanks! I'll definitely keep that in mind when I write my reviews.

Actually I wouldn't use it internally. The vibe is just too small. It's only a bit bigger than your average bullet. But your ideas are great and I will keep them in mind when I write.

As far as the texture goes, just in case you didn't ask on the review, I did say that I liked the velvetiness and the rings. They were somewhat stimulating. Not sure how I could elaborate on that.

Thanks for the help and the compliment!

Oh, it looks so long in the photo. The velvet-quality sounds nice
I've been wondering about something that would feel good on the clit but not offer much vibration because I only like a little.

You might like these bottle rockets then. But if you're also sensitive to textures then you might want one of the ones without it. Check out Evolved's other bottle rockets first. Everything else about them should be the same.

When I really don't like a product, and am getting ready to give it a low rating, I try to see if it's just a bad fit for me, or if it's a poor product in general. If it's just bad all around, it gets the low grade. If it was an issue of personal preference, I'll mention that in the review and give it a star rating reflecting how well it is made and how well it works for the rest of the world. If it would be a 5 for most people but is a one for me, I'll probably give it a 4 (unless it was ridiculously amazingly well done and even though it didn't work for me, I couldn't find it in my heart to take off a star).
