It also depends on what type of toy it is, but the selections I made are a good "generalization".

The whole thing put together is what makes it important or not for me.

I think its all important but I do like to see pictures. Hearing about the functions is also one of my top things too!

I pay more attention to functions/performance and also look for information on how loud/quiet it is.

I especially like to know how the reviewer used it and what his/her experience was like.

I like to know all the functions, and how it performs. also I like to know how it worked out for the reviewer. with a vibe review I like to know where the motor /bullet is located, and in the videos I like to see/hear how the vibe dances around on a hard surface.

certainly the whole review...I really do like pictures to see how the product looks in real life size.

I usually prefer reviews with pictures. It's nice to see the product in real life, comparisons, etc.

The whole review, but mostly functions/performance, experience and detailed measurements.

The whole review with emphasis on functions/performance and pics are a welcomed bonus!

I agree. Pictures that show the actual size of the toy are a great help when I'm researching a product.

All of it. The more you can tell me about it, the better. When I am interested in purchasing something, I want to know basically everything about the product before I make a decision.

Pictures, a description on if it's buzzy or rumbly, the volume, if it's waterproof, and then experience. If I'm reading all 20 reviews on something I want to buy, I usually just skip right to the experience to see what they personally thought of it.

When there's only 2 reviews all of it is important, so I guess it depends on how many there are what parts of the review I find the most valuable.

Same here!

It really depends on the item that's being reviewed...I know how to "use" lingerie, so I don't really need an instruction manual there, but pictures are always nice, especially on the plus sized items because those are always so hard to gauge if they'll fit my frame or not! But, I also don't really need a photo of a cock ring around a dildo...I can imagine what that may or may not look like without a graphic image! The "how well it performed" is what I really want to know...did it snap on the first use? How long did the batteries last?

Overall, it really just needs to provide most if not all the info that is pertinent to the item being discussed...continuing with my cock ring example, it does me no good to read a review that really only talks about your sexcapade and doesn't touch on how much it can/will stretch or whether the vibrators batteries died after only 10 minutes or if they were going strong an hour later (assuming the cock ring has a vibe...the last few I've gotten have had them)!

I pay most attention to the function/performance and that's great if there's a video too.

pictures are a huge help and always appreciated... but performance is what i wanna know, how did it work for you.....

I look at the entire review and the amount of information given.

I would the way it's used and the reviewers experience with the item.

The whole review is important, but for vibrating toys I look closely at the functions/performance and ratings, and for lingerie I love to see pictures of the actual product.

Everyone's experience is likely different, so I'm looking for their overall opinion, and possibly comparison.

Quality is probably the most important for me. You can list the measurements, the materials, and the functions, but they mean nothing to me if it is not a quality product that is not going to break after 3 uses.

I'm most interested in the functions, performance and like to hear about specific experiences when using toys. I don't care for all the safety, packaging type stuff once you are familiarized with all that. I actually think the extended reviews could be reorganized better. Use/experience/perform ance kind of overlap too much. I find myself repeating things in my own reviews as a result.

Photos are nice too to get a better idea of actual size.

The whole review. It all depends. Sometimes I have questions about something particular
