Do you read reviews before buying?

Contributor: Ciao. Ciao.
If there is a product I am interested in I will almost always read reviews before buying it. They might not necessarily sway me one way or the other but they definitely have in the past.

I've got a pretty good idea at this point of what's going to work for me and what isn't based on looking at pictures, but I still read reviews when I can. If there's something I'm on the fence about and/or is a lot of money, I read every review I can and if it's from somebody who's opinion I trust then even better.

Typically yes unless I've already seen the product somewhere else or someone has already recommended me to try it and tell me what they thought about it already. I' normally still read some reviews before purchasing even then.

I research VERY cautiously. I always read reviews. But a low rated review won't always discourage me because sometimes what that reviewer didn't like will turn out to be a plus for me. Size queens and power queens tend to hate toys that I love. So I read each review and take into consideration what it said but the ratings won't usually affect my decisions. I also always try to find reviews by someone who seems to have similar needs or preferences to my one.

the reviews, community, and points program make this one of the best shopping website online period. I would never buy sex products from anywhere else ever.... EF FOREVER!

I pretty much read all of the reviews on a product before I buy.

I voted yes. I didn't used to and that was a totally mistake! I bought gross jelly toys that smelled icky and things that were like 1 on the power scale. Ugh!

I read reviews but I generally take most of them with a grain of salt and try to find the info that is truly pertinent to me within them. I tend to seek out reviews from reviewers I know have similar likes and dislikes to my own and avoid reviews from those reviewers I frequently disagree with.

Usually it is the reviews that help us decide what to buy.

A good review will give me far more information than the product description, and thus is essential in helping me to make a decision.

Always, but just as a slight guide. What works for one person's anatomy might not work for another, shape wise, so it's always taken with a grain of salt. I probably listen more to reviews based on their assessment of material safety and forgiveness than shape as I know my own body's limits with shape.

I read both good and bad reviews, to see both sides and see how it worked for others

Yes, I buy very little that is not properly reviewed. It is not worth the risk of a bad produt.

I always read a bunch of reviews first if possible. The reviews are very important to me.

I read reviews if I'm buying something...I do not read them if I'm getting an item to review! I don't want to bias my reviews, so I wait to read them until after I have written my review. The one exception I made to that was when I got the Apprentice Zip-Front Corset...I skimmed the review on the "normal size" one to see if I could get some detail to what the back of it looked like (no pics of it in the item photos).

I also take the reviews with a grain of salt, since not everyone has the same experience with the individual items.

Yes I do. Plus you can find other items that you might not have seen or thought was a good or not. Very helpful

I definitely read the reviews first. Sometimes when there are really no reviews for a products I am hesitant to get the item, though someone needs to be the first right. If there are not many good reviews about an item I will pass it up.

i always read reviews but sometimes i read them blindly and ignore some of the bad stuff, or don't realize all the people who love it are not like me.
