About the site
About Luvrate
Published specifications and prices from the shops. This page exists so you can judge whether what is written here can be trusted — which sources it is based on, how the site makes money and what happens when something is wrong.
Why the site exists
Adult products are one of the few product categories where the consumer almost never gets to see an independent comparison. The stores’ own descriptions are sales copy, customer ratings are hard to interpret without the number of ratings, and most comparison sites rank based on commission. The result is that a product costing over eight times as much as another are described with the same wording.
The site does one thing: it collects what is actually published about a product and compares it with named competitors in the same price range. Material, dimensions, power steps, battery, water-resistance rating, warranty, and price—these are the same details for every model in the category, with a source link for every number. No product gets a rating until those details are in place.
That’s how the product reviews are done
The basis is the manufacturer’s official product page, the specification sheet, and the PDF manual—the last one often contains battery data that the product page omits. Price data and item data are taken from shops’ product feeds via the affiliate networks Adtraction and Addrevenue, and the same physical product is matched across the stores by EAN/GTIN. That’s why a page can list all the stores that sell the exact same item, not just a variant with a similar name. The source links are checked automatically before publication.
If the manufacturer doesn’t provide a value, it’s printed instead of being estimated. The manufacturer contradicts itself—90 minutes of charging time in the specification tab and 150 minutes in the functional chart on the same page—both details are shown, and the contradiction is stated in the text. That’s the only honest way to handle it, and it’s what sets the pages apart from the summaries where the same gap is filled with a made-up number.
The rating is set using five criteria with the same weight, on a scale of 0–10 with one decimal place. No product is recommended under 6.0. Ratings can be compared within a category but not between categories. The full method is openly available on the method page, along with the rating scale 0–10.
How the site is funded
Through an affiliate commission from store links. The commission is paid by the store, not by the manufacturer, and it is the same regardless of which product I recommend—that’s the whole reason it can’t influence a ranking. No store can pay for placement, no manufacturer gets to read a text in advance, and I don’t sell mentions or sponsored posts. The details are in the affiliate policy.
How the reviews are produced
The reviews are produced with AI assistance from the manufacturers’ and shops’ own published information: specifications, manuals, product data sheets and prices. The same five criteria are used every time, and every figure has a source link at the bottom of the page, so everything can be checked. If you find a mistake, it gets corrected.
Corrections and correction policy
Mistakes happen, especially in prices and specifications. Here’s how they’re handled:
- Errors in a specificationChecked against the manufacturer’s source again. If the published value does not match, the text is changed, the rating is recalculated, and a correction notice is added at the bottom of the article with the date and what was changed.
- Incorrect price or store linkCorrected immediately, and the date of the latest review is updated.
- Revised rankingWhen a new product is added to an existing comparison, it’s always written out in the article — the old winner isn’t hidden.
- Corrections aren’t removedAn article that has been changed keeps its note, because it’s the only verifiable part of a correction pledge.
