I had been wishing and wishing for a shorter, and maybe a little slimmer, version of Raquel forEVER. Then I read a review that claimed she was about an inch shorter than the product page stated! I was SUPER-excited, and ordered her right away (well, technically, my partner ordered her for me for an early birthday gift). Unfortunately, it turned out that her length actually IS what the product page says--that is to say, way too long for me in most positions--but I can still find some uses for her, and we got a good sale price, at least.

Other times, a negative review will convince me to buy something, because I know I'll like it for just the reason the reviewer didn't; usually it's something that was too small or too weak for the reviewer. Also, a positive review can sometimes give me reason not to buy, and negative reviews that criticize an item's quality or safety will definitely keep me away.

Another item I was convinced to buy due to a good review was the Dreamgirl Olympia "garter-dress" bodystocking. Sadly, I'm not as happy with it as she was.

I use reviews to help decide if I should buy a toy and also to let me know if I shouldn;'t but it. I do look at other features before buying as well

Yes, and I have stayed away from toys that had a lot of bad reviews.

Yes, it has.
