Reader-supported, and honest about it.

Braise is reader-supported. Many of the product links on this site, including links that route through /go/, are affiliate links. If you click one and make a purchase, we may earn a commission from the retailer, at no additional cost to you.

What that does and doesn't mean

• It funds our independence. Commissions let us buy products to test and keep the site free to read.
• It does not affect our verdicts. We recommend products on the merits. A higher commission never earns a better verdict, and we regularly recommend products that pay us little or nothing.
• Prices are set by the retailer, not by us, and you pay the same whether or not you use our link.

Our partners

We earn commissions through Amazon Associates and through direct programs with brands, including Lovense, Liberator, Lonesome Dragon and Sliquid. We also earn through affiliate networks for some retailers, including Awin, Rakuten Advertising, CJ (Commission Junction), UpPromote and GoAffPro. The specific partner for any given product is reflected in that product's link, and the programs we belong to change over time.

As an Amazon Associate we earn from qualifying purchases.

Automatic affiliate links

On public pages such as reviews, guides and styles, we also use automatic affiliate link services. Their scripts can turn an ordinary link to a store into an affiliate link, so we may earn a commission on links we didn't set up by hand, too. These services may set cookies to credit the sale. We don't load them on account, sign-in, gift card redemption, partner invite or beta pages. Our privacy policy has the detail.

Products from brands

Brands sometimes offer us a product to test or press images to use. A free product never buys coverage or a better verdict, and some never make the site at all. Where a review is based on a product a brand sent us, or uses a brand's images, we say so.

FTC disclosure

In keeping with U.S. Federal Trade Commission guidelines, we disclose that we have a material connection (affiliate commissions) to many of the products and retailers featured here. We note this in our footer on every page and on shared wishlists. Questions? Email hello@braiseroom.com.
