Shoot, my husband is calling me for "pooper scooper duty" so he can mow the dang yard. I'll check back in a little bit!

Question for A&M: Have you reviewed a toy that the two of you had very different opinions on? Or do you generally agree on ratings?

They're awesome. I can't wait for the rest of this line to make it to production! Topco's website has listed them in their "coming up this month" section for like... the last 4 months, at least. And I first saw them in a brick and mortar shop in February... must have been doing market research or something.

Purely couples toys are harder, and here's why:

So are purely couples toys (like cock rings, and Liberator shapes) easier for you two to write reviews for, or are partnered-application of vibrators/dildos/other things easier, typically?
For couples toys we sit down together and talk out a review, and one of us will type whatever we hit on that sounds good as we go. There is a LOT of bantering and re-wording involved in that process. Couples toys take a lot longer for that reason.
If it's something that's very gender specific like a penis sleeve or vaginal balls, then the main part of the review falls more on whichever of us the item applied to more directly, with minor input and editing here and there from the other. That's faster.

We've reviewed several that we didn't agree on. We just get out our Rock'em Sock'em Robots set and duke it out to see who's right.

Naw, seriously, in the case of differing opinions we put more factual info in the main part of the review, as opposed to weaving in our opinions, and then give opinions in the Experience section.

I want to add that as far as a toy's star-rating goes when that happens, we either average them (like if he says 4 and I say 2, it gets 3) or we just discuss it until we can agree on one. That's another area where we have to be less biased.

You're welcome. You can search vibrating penis rings and select silicone or whatever and find other non-jelly rings, but apparently the vertical bullet ones are better than the horizontal bullet ones and I couldn't find a silicone vertical one.

I've thought about it, but not sure if I want to break up the "set" of A&M that the community is used to, if that makes any sense. Honestly, I can't think of one review that we've ever done separately.

I want to thank all of you so much for being here tonight, this was a great Q&A with some awesome reviewers. Unfortunately, I have to jet over to the Community Planning Meeting right now, but I'll be back to check here later on. So feel free to keep chatting
