How We Handle Corrections, and the Log So Far

This post is about what we have got wrong. Before writing it, we checked our corrections and update log. As of 16 October 2026, when our evergreen guides were published, it recorded no material corrections. On 30 October 2026 we logged the first one: our reviews now say clearly that we buy the dolls ourselves from the provider's own website and inspect them hands-on, and that we do not send them to any outside laboratory. We are not going to invent mistakes to make a more dramatic post, and we are not going to claim a perfect record either. A newly published set of guides has had very little time to be wrong in public.

What we can usefully do is explain how corrections work here, what we will treat as material, what we update openly, and how you can tell us we have made a mistake. Corrections are one of the few things a reader can check about a publisher, and they are worth being specific about.

Why this matters on a site like ours

We are an affiliate site. We say so on every page where it applies, and our affiliate disclosure and editorial policy explains it. If you click a retailer link and buy, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. That arrangement is a reason for you to be sceptical, and it is a reason for us to be strict about errors, because a mistake that happens to favour a partner would look very different from one that does not.

Our scores are editorial opinions, not user ratings, and they describe a company at the time of the review. Companies change their prices, policies and warehouses, so a review that was accurate when written can become out of date without anyone having made a mistake. That is why we try to separate three things: a correction, an update and a change in circumstances.

Corrections, updates and changes

• A correction is a fix for something that was wrong when we published it: a wrong figure, a misread policy, a broken or misleading link, a misattributed quote. We record material ones in the log with a date and what changed.
• An update is new information on a topic that changes the picture. Our posts on US tariffs and the EU parcel duty are examples of time-sensitive subjects, and they show a published date and an updated date when they change. An update is not an admission of error, but we tell you it happened.
• A change in circumstances is when the world moves. A retailer changes its returns policy, a rule changes, a product is discontinued. Our reviews are snapshots, such as our Joy Love Dolls review, and we encourage you to verify current terms before ordering.

What we treat as material

We use a simple test: would a reasonable reader have decided differently if they had known the right information? If so, it is material, and it goes in the log.

Examples of what would qualify:

• a wrong number, such as a weight, a price, a date or a fee
• a claim attributed to a source that the source did not make
• a policy described incorrectly, particularly returns, warranty or shipping
• an affiliate relationship that was not disclosed where it should have been
• a safety or care instruction that was wrong
• a link that sends a reader somewhere other than where we said

Examples of what we will fix quietly, without logging: typos, formatting, a broken link to a page that has simply moved, and wording clarifications that do not change the meaning. We will not quietly change a substantive claim.

How we handle time-sensitive posts

Some of our posts are about things that change quickly. For those, we try to do three things:

• show the real publication date, and never backdate a post
• show an updated date when something substantive changes
• say what we do not know

Our blog is built so that the published date on a post is the day it was actually published. We do not move dates to make a post look fresher or older.

When a post cites rules or news, we link the sources so that you can check them. If a source turns out to be wrong, or the rule changes, we update the post, not just the headline.

How we handle claims we cannot verify

You will notice that our posts often say things like "the maker says" or "reported by". That is deliberate. If a company says a product sold out, or that a feature works a certain way, and we have not tested it, we attribute the claim and say it is unverified. Our post on AI doll launches in 2026 is an example, where we separated what is on sale, what is a prototype and what is only a claim.

We would rather publish "we do not know" than a confident guess that we might later need to correct.

How to report an error

If you think we have made a mistake, tell us. Use our contact page and include:

• the page address
• the sentence or figure you think is wrong
• what you think is correct, and a source if you have one

We will check it, and if you are right, we will fix it. If the error is material, we will add it to the log with the date. If we disagree, we will say why. We do not pay for corrections, and we do not remove a correction because it is awkward.

What to look for in any review site

Since we are asking you to hold us to a standard, here are the things we would look for on any site that reviews retailers:

• A clear affiliate disclosure near the links, not hidden in a footer.
• A corrections page with entries and dates, or a statement that there are none.
• Dates on posts that match reality.
• Sources for claims that can be checked.
• Drawbacks in the reviews, not only strengths. Read our reviews of Silicon Wives and Madam Dolly and see whether we say anything that is not flattering.
• Willingness to say "we do not know".

What we do with the affiliate relationship

We link to Joy Love Dolls with an affiliate code, and we disclose that. If you want to see the store, the Joy Love Dolls site is one click away. That is an affiliate link: we may earn a commission if you buy through it, at no extra cost to you. It does not change our scores or how we describe other retailers, and it would be a correction-worthy error if it did.

The log, going forward

As new posts and guides are published, we will add entries to the log when something material changes. If you see nothing there, it means we have recorded nothing, and that is the claim we are making. If you find something we missed, we want to hear about it.
