Hello everyone, and welcome to our second Reviewers Spotlight! This month, we're featuring Airen Wolf and ToyQuest!
***
Airen Wolf has been with us just over two years, joining in October of 2008. She's well known around the community as a friendly woman who loves to help.
"I discoverd Eden Fantasys when I stumbled upon a toy review by pure accident. I was looking up Doc Johnson products, since that was the only toy manufacturer I knew, at the time. I followed the link and was amazed at the depth of the review. I tip toed around the site and decided to sign up. It was during that initial exploration that I heard about the review program. I had no confidence in my ability to write but I was intrigued by the idea and thought, "What the hell!" After four reviews I submitted my request to be upgraded and Victoria promoted me saying that she liked my enthusiasm. My first reviews were heavily enthusiastic if not very useful.
The most challenging review for me was the first time I got a toy and simply hated it! The Basic essentials slim softee by Cal Exotics arrived broken but beyond that it was simply a disaster for me! The toy was too slim for my liking and the TPR sleeve began to tear almost immediately. I was stuck because I had never written a review on a product I wasn't enthusiastic about.
I would advise anyone starting out to slow down and really take a deep look at all that is offered by Eden Fantasys. Read reviews, ask questions and get involved. The points program is wonderful but it is such a small part of the whole Eden experience! Choose a mentor with care after you have read their reviews and maybe even talked to them. This process doesn't need to be rushed!
Read everything you can; reviews, articles, forums and clubs to get a feel for the community. Most of all read the forums before posting! Lots of the same questions pop up all the time and it's kind of irritating to see a question fully answered only to be asked again two weeks later. Still, even with these minor irritations EF is still the best community out there and the only sex toy shop I trust implicitly."
ToyQuest is a reviewer you might not know much about. She's been here for a really long time, joining towards the end of 2007. She might not have the most reviews ever, but they've all been pretty great.
She told me "I bought my first couple of toys and liked them well enough, but they were expensive. While I had a job, I didn’t make enough to support the habit, so I decided to look around for websites that would give me free toys for reviews. I wrote to a couple of websites before stumbling onto EdenFantasys. I was super excited about my discovery and I got my best friend to do it with me.
“Hitting the G-spot” was probably the hardest review I’ve ever written. The first reason was it was so terrible I didn’t know where to begin. The second reason was because I’d never reviewed a DVD before. Finally, the review word count was limited to 800 words. I wrote close to 1000. It was difficult cutting those 200 words.
The best advice I’ve gotten: Try using your product in unconventional ways to get everything out of it that you can for your review.
Advice to new reviewers: Don’t be intimidated by any product and don’t be afraid to step outside your comfort zone. Writing reviews is a great way to explore any curiosity or interest."
