how many days/weeks to do a review?
Writing wise, I think it only takes two or three days. However, I would recommend experimenting with a toy for at least a week (or two or three) before starting to write.
As I started the review for my most recent toy, the Ultimate Massager, I had started off by saying I only liked a few of the settings. However, after experimenting with it further a few days later, I discovered that I liked other settings, as well. Fortunately, I hadn't published the review yet, so editing it was easy.

I automatically start the review the moment I open the box before I even use it, just describing the initial thoughts on the product. I make notes on the smell, taste, feel, etc of the toy and packaging.
Then I save to draft with it. Then, once I use it the first time, I write a bit more, then use it a few more times to get my final review pieces added. I like to do it in pieces so it isn't as stressful to try and remember all the details from a day or more prior. SOMETIMES, if it is clothing or something like a candle, I might write the whole thing the day of.

It really depends on the toy! Some I have a hard time writing (it doesn't really depend on my feelings about the toy) and sometimes it just flows! My most recent one I'm working on I've had for 24 hours but I love it and I'm almost half done, but some I just drag my feet through and I don't know why!

That's how I like to do reviews, as well.

I do it the way Peggi describes. As soon as I open that box, I've got a pen and paper in my hand writing first impressions. If it's waterproof, when it's time for my shower that suckers getting tested and will write my thoughts about that after I'm done. Then I use it that night with my hubby and write notes about how it worked with both of us and his impressions. Then I take all my notes I have on pen/paper and write in MS Word into the format that is needed for reviews.

I like to test the toys a number of times before writing a review... At the very least, five times, and on separate days because there are lots of factors that affect usage and response.
Even though I have a lot of free time, I don't always feel up to using toys (or doing anything sexual in nature). As a result, it takes me more than two weeks after receiving a product to write the review. I had already used a number of products when I had joined, so I had plenty of review material.
Luckily for me, I've finished testing my last purchases, and a new one is arriving pretty soon.

I write about 5 reviews a week, but last week doubled up on those. I review most days out of the month. I take off the weekends, or double up a day, so I can relax the next day. I am going to slow down, since I am about to publish my 99th review. I have to make my video for my 100th review
