Affiliate Disclosure

Transparency about how we earn and operate

In Plain English: We recommend products we believe in. When you buy through our links, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. This helps us keep the site running.

About This Disclosure

In accordance with the Federal Trade Commission's (FTC) guidelines concerning the use of endorsements and testimonials in advertising, we want to be completely transparent about how IntimateWell operates and earns revenue.

How We Make Money

IntimateWell is an affiliate marketing website. This means we partner with retailers and earn a commission when you click on our links and make a purchase. This is at no additional cost to you – the price you pay is the same whether you use our link or go directly to the retailer.

Our Affiliate Partners Include:

  • Lovehoney
  • Adam & Eve
  • Lelo
  • PinkCherry
  • SheVibe
  • Amazon Associates (where compliant)
  • Various brand-specific affiliate programs

Our Commitment to You

While we earn commissions from affiliate sales, this does not compromise our editorial integrity. We are committed to:

  • Honest Reviews: We only recommend products we genuinely believe offer value. If a product isn't good, we won't recommend it regardless of commission rates.
  • Transparent Comparisons: Our comparison guides aim to help you find the best product for your needs, not just the highest-commission product.
  • Accurate Information: We research thoroughly and update our content regularly to ensure accuracy.
  • Clear Disclosure: Affiliate links are clearly identified throughout our website.

How Affiliate Links Work

When you click on a product link on our website:

  1. You are redirected to the retailer's website
  2. A cookie is placed on your browser (typically lasting 24-30 days)
  3. If you make a purchase during that window, we receive a commission
  4. The price you pay remains the same as if you visited directly

Does This Affect Our Reviews?

We understand the potential conflict of interest that affiliate relationships create. Here's how we handle it:

  • We never accept payment for positive reviews
  • Commission rates do not influence our rankings or recommendations
  • We highlight both pros and cons of every product
  • We include products from various brands, not just high-commission partners
  • If we haven't personally tested a product, we clearly state that our review is based on research

Your Support Matters

Using our affiliate links is a way to support IntimateWell at no cost to you. This revenue allows us to:

  • Continue providing free, quality content
  • Research and review new products
  • Maintain and improve the website
  • Keep the site ad-free

We appreciate your support and trust in our recommendations.
