Who has time to shop for sex toys?

Life can get busy and messy, and the majority of people don’t really have time to spend hours and hours researching for the best possible sex toy for them.

This means that they are left to rely on sponsored reviews with unexpected results, rely on word of mouth, or simply follow what the advertisements suggest. These options are far from being ideal when choosing the best lubricant, glass dildo, or BDSM gear for you. And that’s what we are here for.

How we work

Anybody can read the features or specs on a sex toy box. You may even get an idea of the quality of the sex toy if you have a bit of experience and can compare its features or metrics. But what is more challenging, more time consuming, is to compare hundreds of different sex toys to choose the best one. And in the majority of cases people end up choosing what is “good enough”.

We typically spend around 200 hours of research – and sometimes much longer – to research and write a single article. That is around one month of work for one article.

We look at sex toys from every angle, research metrics, manufacturers, customer reviews and most of all, do our own hands-on testing in order to select which Fleshlight, which prostate massager, which dildo, which sex toy (you name it) is the best option available on the market today.

How we determine the best sex toy

Determining the best sex toys, whether an Aneros, a male masturbator, a vibrator, or a penis extender isn’t as straightforward as most people may think. While for some sex toys there are simple metrics that can easily be compared, for others the decision is not so easy.

In order to measure sex toys qualities we discuss them with professionals as well as researching consumers comments and from there we design specific procedures in order to narrow down our choices from hundreds to three-four sex toys, until we get to the best one or two.

Our testing and researching is completely transparent, and we always explain how we came to our final conclusion. We also explain why the other sex toys didn’t make it to the top.

We spent over 65,000+ hours (since 2011) finding the best sex toys to save you the time and trouble of researching.

Our vetting process

At LetsTalkSex.net we understand that you are looking for honest, accurate and reliable information to make your sex toy purchase therefore we have set in place a detailed screening process through which we run sex toys before reviewing or recommending any.

In order to find the real absolute best sex toy for each review, we run each sex toy through a vetting process. In this way we cut out the weed by uncovering those companies that use fake reviews and misinformation to sell.

We screen potential sex toys and products based on a few things:

Real-World Experience: Our whole team has over 60 years combined of sex toys buying experience. From anal toys collectors to BDSM furniture addicts and sex dolls users as well as sex coaches and and renown sex writers, we are confident to say that our team has enough experience to judge which sex toys work best for whom.

Hands-On Experience: There are tens of thousands of sex toys out there, quite realistically we can’t test them all. But for sure we put our hands on as many as possible. We use them, we test them under different conditions and make our evaluations based on our hands-on experience. If something doesn’t work as advertised it’s out.

Insiders Recommendations: Sex toy manufacturers, professionals from large sex shops all have great recommendations because their success depends on quality. That’s why we consult with them to get their insight on how that toy or that app performs in the market.

User Reviews: Honest user feedback is priceless. In addition to our own hands-on genuine experience we also read other users reviews to see how things are working for other people. We skim through the ocean of fake reviews to spot the real ones and gather additional insights from it.

Brand Reputation: Great, trustworthy and popular brands are usually a great place to look for quality sex toys. A lot of great brands have spent years to build a reputation and most of the times this reputation is based on quality. We tend to weed out products coming from brands with low reputation.

Sales Information: Sometimes the best way to judge a sex toy is by its numbers. Is it selling? Are people spending their money on it? These economical trends is something we pick up on and take into consideration while selecting which sex toys to review, test and ultimately recommend in our buying guides.

Product Developers: We also consistently chat to product developers and engineers in order to increase our knowledge and learn more details about specific sex toys features.

We then put together all this wealth of information, our own personal testing, technical research, other consumers reviews and finally come to the conclusion of which sex toy is the best of the best in each category.

Our combination of personal field-testing together with our extensive market research would be incredibly time consuming for a typical person to do on their own.

Our editorial process

Creating quality content goes beyond just finding the best sex toys to review and feature. It’s something that takes time and experience to do it right. At LetsTalkSex.net we have built our entire editing and writing process with the goal of creating the best sex toys reviews in the world.

How to support our work

It is difficult to trust a company when you know that most people are being paid to review or promote a specific product. That’s why we like to be transparent about our business.

Our reviews are written by real users, and are not influenced by sex toy companies. When you click an affiliate link and proceed with the purchase of a sex toy, we sometimes earn an affiliate commission that supports our work.

Just as we are selective for the products we review, in the same way we take time to appraise our affiliates to make sure they offer sex toys that are valuable to you.

Honesty and Transparency: Our Core Values

The reason for our honesty is that we love our LetsTalkSex.net community and we are here to build a long trustworthy relationship with our readers.

If we suggest you a product that doesn’t perform, you probably won’t come back to us tomorrow, and we prefer to have long term readers than quick visitors.

But most of all, we want to make our dent into the world, we want to add value and make people’s love lives better. We don’t want to spend years of our lives pushing people to buy wrong things.
