Review Idol Round One - The Judges Response
Well,
here we go with my responses to the very lucky finalists in the Voluptasse
Review Idol competition. These entrants are battling it out for a permanent
reviewer spot on behalf of Voluptasse.co.uk.
The
finalists are Mistress Velvet, Toy Addict and XtraCurricular. In order to give
a clear and easily understood opinion on each review, I will take them in turn,
conveying my thoughts and opinions, as a professional sex toy reviewer of many
years.
Mistress Velvet - Spencer
& Fleetwood Chocolate Body Paint
There
is no doubt that Mistress Velvet has provided a visually alluring sex toy
review, with many beautiful pictures both of the product in use and her
exquisite lingerie.
The
copy in the review, on the other hand, unfortunately felt a little rushed. The
punctuation and grammar could be improved.
On a
personal level, although this was a shining recommendation for the product, I
have actually tried Spencer and Fleetwood Chocolate Body Paint and it didn't taste
nice at all. I'm aware we all have different tastes but the chocolate was
grainy, low quality and not something I'd choose to eat a lot of. Therefore I
did find it hard to believe that this entrant found the product as amazing as
was made out in the review.
Toy Addict - Lip Vibe
In
her review of the Lip Vibe, Toy Addict adopted a neutral, professional reviewer
tone which gives the reader the chance to receive only the facts without any
unnecessary fluff.
The
images in the review are of the product and informative. You can view the
product both in the packet and from many angles, which is what readers look
for.
The
review is well detailed, with a handy summary of the pros and cons at the end.
After reading this review you know exactly what to expect when you buy this
product.
XtraCurricular - Rabbit Loop
Cock Ring
Having
visited XtraCurricular.co.uk, I have to say I am very impressed by both the
navigation and design of this sex toy review website. The graphic design
background of the founder is clearly evident, with well placed and designed
banners with clear direction and no fuss.
This
design trend continues in the Review Idol entry from XtraCurricular, with a
beautiful banner at the top and clear photographs.
The
copy is not quite at the same level as the images, with a few unfortunate
grammar errors and typos which make the review seem rushed. The material type
wasn't specified either, which many readers will need to know.
I do
like the two for one feel of the XtraCurricular review, with feedback from both
him and her. There are useful tips given at the end and a link back to the
product too.

In
summary, the three reviews are all beautiful and well presented. When it comes
down to details, I prefer Toy Addict's review over the other two, due to the
amount of information about the product you can glean, which is what a product
review is for, when you think about it.
The
neutral tone, the professional standard of copy and photography and the clear
layout makes this the winner in my mind.
That's
my opinion - but what about you? Comment 'like' underneath the review of your
choice to cast your vote!
