Description:
Okay, so as it stands, I think that the ToyChats rating system isn’t intuitive and doesn’t align with most people’s expectations of what a numerical rating system is. I feel like if you were to ask most people, the higher the number the “better” the score…e.g. a 1/5 is the ‘worst’ and a 5/5 is the ‘best.’
But that isn’t the case for “easy to use” and “easy to clean.” I feel like both ratings 4 and 5 on “easy to use” are kind of the same thing. And that the whole “easy to clean” rating isn’t very great. Like every single one of my reviews is a 4/5 for cleaning…but that’s because I think you should clean your toy after every use, not because I find difficulty in cleaning them.
The overall scores for toys with components that aren’t waterproof shouldn’t get a 2/5…it’s not that most toys are difficult to clean…It’s just that parts of these toys can’t get wet, which is a shame because I feel like people will just look at the overall score and just base their judgements on that and not look at the rating system.
And I get this question often enough and from some companies that think I’m grading them poorly, but the ratings aren’t ‘worst to best’, it’s every ‘single number has a specific meaning’
And I think this is reflected in other reviews that I’ve seen on the platform. Like how most anal toy reviews give cleaning a 5/5…but does anyone think that they shouldn’t clean off their anal toys after using them?
Perhaps there can be little drop-down scores that don’t negatively effect the overall score but if you want to be more specific and say like “this isn’t waterproof and can’t get wet.”
