The Alliance of Independent Sex Toy Testers is a list of sex toy review bloggers who are trusted by the sex toy community.
What is the Alliance of Independent Sex Toy Testers?
If you spend enough time wandering the sex-toy-focused portion of the internet you’ll come across a whole bunch of review sites that look… how should I say this?… dodgy as fuck. Sites with ripped-off content, spammy ‘guides’ crammed with keywords, ‘reviews’ of toys that sound suspiciously like the person writing has never come across one in their lives… you get the idea. These sites usually use stock images of toys, or pictures they’ve stolen from legitimate toy bloggers, and then stuff their copy with praise for the toy plus a link so you can buy buy buy! Basically: they’re not legitimate reviewers, and they don’t actually try out the toys they are covering. They just use every Google trick in the book to try and beat genuine bloggers to the top search results, then wax lyrical about every toy in order to maximise the amount of affiliate money they make.
It sucks for you, because you’re not getting honest information about the product, and frankly it sucks for bloggers like me too, because it makes it much harder for our signals to be heard above the cacophony of noise from these spammy sites. To try and combat this, some of my fabulous blogging colleagues set up the… *drum roll* … Alliance of Independent of Sex Toy Testers! This is an informal, democratic group who have all signed up to a code of conduct that guarantees we actually own the toys we’re testing, and we’re approaching our work of writing about them ethically – details set out below. Scroll down for more information on the code, and how to join the alliance if you’d like to, but for now here’s the list. Please do go visit these excellent blogs for genuine, honest advice and information on sex toys.
