Reviews
I primarily review sex toys, but am also open to other adult or feminine style products such as lingerie, lubricants, menstrual items and so forth. Some common items I do not review are:
- Sex toys made with non body-safe materials.
- Sex toys from retailers / manufacturers who are based solely on Amazon, eBay or similar websites.
- Sex dolls or other products that take up a large amount of space.
- Lubricants that contain glycerin or parabens.
- eBooks. I will only review physical books that are sent to me.
I reserve the right to not complete any review if I have concerns about the safety of the materials after receiving the product.
Reviews cost $300 per item. For sponsors I offer reviews at a discounted rate of $250 per item.
For affiliates (or manufacturers who approve of me linking to an affiliated store that stocks the product) I can occasionally complete reviews for free, with this being entirely up to my discretion. Products that are sent without consulting me first will not be guaranteed a review.
Typically I complete reviews within 30 days of receiving the payment and/or product/s per item sent, however please check my availability at the top of this page to confirm this.
My reviews are my own honest opinion and sending me a product does not guarantee a positive review. I will not remove my review or change my wording at the request of any company, or return / pay for the sent item. Additionally, if the product has postage issues and does not arrive I am not responsible for its cost.
How Linking Works
- I will never link to a competitor’s store in a review, however I may compare the item to other reviews on my site where I have links to other brands or stores.
- I may link to a competitor if you only sell to a limited region. For instance, if you only sell to the US, I will link to another store that also has the product and caters to alternative countries.
- For manufacturers I will link to alternative sites in my review if you do not sell the product.
- I will change my links to a competitor if you stop selling the product in your store, have it out of stock for an extended period of time, terminate your affiliate program, or reduce your affiliate commission to under 10% (if you paid for the review the last two do not apply).
Sponsored Posts
Sponsored Posts are any posts that I complete at the request of an external source that are not a review or giveaway, and cost $200 per post. They will be entirely written by myself, be hosted solely at my website, and be at least 1000 words. They will be disclosed as paid and all links will be nofollow. They can contain links back to your site using your chosen anchor text. Please see here for examples of this work.
The topic for the Sponsored Post can either be provided by you, or I can suggest some that are relevant to your site. Once complete I will then share the post on my site, where it will remain, and advertise it on my social media. If you wish to order an increased amount of words or more than one post then please contact me to see what prices I can offer you.
A few days prior to publication I will send you a draft of the post for your review and approval, which you are entitled to modest feedback on. If I don’t hear back from you within 7 days of sending the draft, I will publish the post anyway.
Typically I can complete Sponsored Posts within about a week of receiving all the relevant information and payment, however please check my availability at the top of this page to confirm.
If you wish for the post to be hosted on your own site, rather than mine, an additional $200 will be required. Credit can either be anonymous or given to me, however if it is given to me then I will advertise the post on my social media.

- Placement on my Linktree.
- Priority over Budget & Standard Sponsors.
- Starts at $140 per month.
Pricing differs for each zone depending on how prioritised your banner is and which package you want. Please see here for all pricing and availability information.
I only accept Sponsorships for one month, three months, and six months. For purchases of three months I offer a 10% discount, and for six months I offer a 20% discount.
Additional information
- The social media accounts that I use for Sponsorships are: Twitter (5.4K followers), Instagram (3K followers), and Facebook (500+ followers).
- I will announce all new Sponsorships on my Twitter and Instagram Story, regardless of Sponsor type. It would be appreciated if appropriate images could be provided for this, in addition to any banners required by the Sponsorship.
- Sponsorship zones can only be reserved once payment is made in full. After this you have a period of one week to send through the banners and any other required elements, and once they are live on my website the Sponsorship time (one, three or six months) will begin. If the banners are not received after a week, the time will begin regardless.
- For Premium Sponsors you can either provide me with the images for my social media promotions, or I can create them myself. If I feel I am unable to easily create the images myself (for instance, if you stock nothing that I own) I will let you know in advance that you would need to provide images. Alternatively, I can put time into creating advertisements for you, but this would come at an extra cost.
- The order of my Favourite Stores page will match the sidebar zones.
- All text for my social media posts and Favourites Stores page will be written by myself, but you are welcome to give me suggestions for what information to include.
- All social media posts will use the hashtag “ad”.
- Banners should not contain nudity or anything that might go against my morals clause.
- Banners must be PNG or JPG files, no GIFs.
Giveaways
Giveaways are when you provide one or more items as prizes for a contest that I will host at my blog. It will receive prominent advertising while active and can help you promote a range of things due to the various entry options I offer. For affiliates and sponsors this is a service I provide for free, but otherwise I charge $150 AUD. Please see here for examples of this work.
All giveaways at my blog will run for one month, during which time I will promote it frequently on my social media and feature a custom banner advertising it in a high priority position on my blog sidebar. The giveaway post will then include information on both the prize/s and your brand, before featuring an embedded Gleam application which is what the giveaway will run through. Entries will be based on promoting both of our sites and social media, and you can see here for an example of what entries typically look like. All entries will be personalised to the site I am advertising however, and customising your entries is something we will discuss.
The items I will agree to have as prizes are typically the same as what I will agree to review, but please email me if you are unsure about your product. Please note I may also require my own copy of an item prior to agreeing to run a giveaway with it, for instance, a book that I want to check the contents of or a toy that I have not reviewed before.
Once complete I will contact you with the winner/s information, after which you are responsible for all further handling of the prizes, including shipping the products and contacting the winner/s with any further details. At this point I will no longer advertise the giveaway post, however it will remain on my site.
Typically I can have giveaways live within one week of receiving all the relevant information and payment, however please check my availability at the top of this page to confirm this.
I also offer smaller giveaways hosted on either my Twitter or Instagram. I charge $50 for this service and the run time is two weeks. These giveaways work by encouraging my followers to repost / retweet a main giveaway post, as well as tag their friends (if on Instagram). Winners will also have to be following both of our accounts on the relevant platform. I am always available for these types of giveaways (as long as there are currently no other giveaways running on the platform you’re interested in) as they do not adhere to my content calendar like giveaways hosted on my blog.
Affiliates
Note: I am not currently accepting new affiliates.
I only accept a limited number of affiliates and will only work with companies who I feel have a high standard. The majority of your sex toys should be body-safe, and I should have either have shopped with you before or know you have a good reputation. You must also have at least a 15% commission rate.
A limited number of my favourite affiliates will have 250×250 pixel advertisement displayed on my affiliates sidebar. They may also receive space on my Favourite Stores page. This is completely up to my own discretion, and will solely depend on the stores I like best and/or believe need the exposure the most. By becoming an affiliate of mine, it does not guarantee one of these spots. If you want a guaranteed spot on my sidebar or Favourite Stores page, please view my Blog Sponsorship options.
Guest Posts
I do not accept Guest Posts.
Morals Clause
I reserve the right to refuse any of the above from your brand if you sell a large amount of non body safe toys, or if, in my opinion, I find any of your practices sexist, racist, homophobic, fat-shaming, transphobic or anything other oppressive in nature. I also reserve the right to remove or add disclaimers to any of the above without warning if I find your practices to become this.

- All links are nofollow. This is non-negotiable.
