MakePocketPussy publishes product testing and buying advice for adults. This page sets out how we work.
Independence
We fund the site through affiliate commission. Brands do not pay us for coverage, do not receive drafts before publication, and have no editorial input. We have declined paid-placement offers and we will keep declining them, because a review section with a price list attached is not a review section.
Where a relationship exists that a reader might reasonably want to know about — a free sample, a longstanding affiliate partnership, a brand that has previously contacted us about a review — it is stated on the page in question.
Who writes
Every article carries a byline linking to a profile that says who the writer is, what they have done, and what they cover here. Nothing publishes under “admin” or an invented persona. Our writers are listed on the about page.
Reviews are written by the person who tested the product or by an editor working directly from that person’s testing log. Where those are different people, both are named.
Fact-checking
Product specifications are measured by us, not copied from marketing material. Where we repeat a manufacturer claim we cannot verify, we attribute it to the manufacturer rather than stating it as fact.
Pages carry a “last verified” date. That is the date a human last confirmed the details, which is a different and more useful thing than the date the file was edited.
Use of AI
We use AI tools to structure and edit material our team has already produced. Specifically: taking recorded measurements and testing notes and shaping them into the consistent sections you see on every review.
We do not use AI to generate reviews, decide verdicts, produce specifications, or write content about products nobody has handled. Every AI-assisted section is read and approved by a named editor before it goes live, and our tooling is set up to report a gap rather than fill it. The judgement on this site is human. The formatting help is not, and we see no reason to pretend otherwise.
Corrections
We correct errors openly. See the corrections policy.
Content we do not publish
- Reviews of products we have not handled
- Medical or health claims about sexual wellness products
- Content about, or appearing to be aimed at, anyone under 18
- Material that describes performers’ bodies rather than the products in question
- Coupon codes we have not personally tested
Reader privacy
This is a category where people are entitled to read without being tracked around the internet afterwards. We keep third-party scripts to the minimum the site needs to function.
