Product reviews — where do you draw the line?

// July 29th, 2010 // General

If you’ve been in the product reviewing world for any length of time, you will know that there are all sorts of products to review. Baby gear, cleaning products, cosmetics, jewelry, clothing, small electronics, and books just touch the tip of the iceberg. I have personally reviewed medications (OTC stuff, of course), eye and skin care products, even adult products and food.

Obviously, a line has to be drawn. Many bloggers are iffy on reviewing adult products, simply because they don’t feel comfortable sharing such intimate details of their life with their blog readers. Also, there’s the possibility of driving away more conservative advertisers if they read about your adult product reviews.

So, what’s a blogger to do? All I can suggest is that you figure out your stance and stick to it. It is entirely possible to review adult items, among other products, and still have a high status and popularity rating in the product review world, but you’ll have to work hard and word your reviews carefully.
