Does This Affect Our Reviews?
Absolutely not. Our editorial independence is non-negotiable. We purchase products with our own money, test them ourselves, and give you our honest opinion — regardless of whether we have an affiliate relationship with the brand. If a product isn't good, we say so. We have turned down paid partnerships with brands whose products we couldn't honestly recommend.
