I have quite a few reviews (three) backed up that I haven't been able to write/finish because it's "that time of the month". This happened to me last time, too, and it's really frustrating me. I have the problem of having incredibly long periods (around an entire week, usually) so I'm "unavailable" for a large portion of the month. I tried to time writing my reviews so that I could avoid this problem yet again but it was to no avail because I had too much going on in my life to work on reviews until now. Two of the reviews are for lubricants so they're definitely no-go's because I can't test them out more (though I've already done some longevity tests by rubbing, dripping, etc.) and I can't finish my lingerie review (which is the most important because it's a free assignment, not a buy-out) because I'm using pads right now and can't take pictures of me wearing it. So boo, boo, a thousand times boo. And I hope this all isn't too TMI. I don't think it is. Menstruation happens. Get over it.

Have you ever had a review halted because of menstruation or something similar? Or if you're a man (or anyone with a penis), has anything with your body also stopped you from writing or finishing a review? less

I have been backed up lately on a couple, but not because of my period - just because of being sick. I'm getting caught up on them now though. It can be frustrating, but the good thing is that the folks here are really understanding about that kind of thing. Life happens, whether we want it to or not!

Hope you're able to use your toys soon! less

I have but I have to say even for "free" assignments the staff does understand about these things. Just drop JR a note and let him know you are going to be delayed...no real need to go into detail. He only bites when he's asked to!
It's a pain in the ass to have your review writing interrupted by such a silly thing, isn't it? Think on it though...if we stick around EVENTUALLY we'll be able to write all month long and commiserate with the young-'uns about their monthly problems! less

Weird, I never stop toying just because it's my period.

I wouldn't review if I had a bladder infection or something because I would be in more pain than pleasure. But heck, I'm probably a better reviewer on my period because I test things even harder! less

Actually... No, I masturbate even when I am on my period so I have no problems with reviews and testing them out. The easiest toy to test however is a clit vibe. I use menstrual cups which are kinda like tampons so I dont make a horrible bloody mess. Ahahaha less

Not for me because I still test most of my products out. I take the waterproof toys in the shower, I use a tampon with my clit vibes, and lube is needed for the clit vibes, so that covers everything. If I had an infection I surely wouldn't use a product because I wouldn't feel up to it. less
