Who writes the site
The adult.ca editorial team researches and writes every page. We do not publish named bylines; every page says "By adult.ca" and shows when it was last updated.
How picks are chosen
- Picks are labelled "our picks". They are based on makers' published specs, brand information and Canadian store listings. Where we have read verified buyer reviews, we say so on the page.
- We do not claim to have used or tested products, and we do not give scores or star ratings.
- Each spec we list was read on a store or maker page on the date shown.
- Commission does not decide a pick. Products from stores we have no deal with are included and linked normally.
How prices are read
Once a month we read the public listing price in Canadian dollars at up to five Canadian stores for up to 25 picks. We record the cheapest in-stock version. If a price cannot be read, the cell is left blank. See the price check.
How health facts are checked
- Every cell in the free sexual health care table links to the official page we read (a provincial or territorial government, health authority, or public health program) and shows the date we checked it.
- If we cannot confirm a fact from an official page, the cell says "not confirmed". We never fill a cell from memory.
- Health guides are built from Health Canada, the Public Health Agency of Canada, provincial health sites, medical societies and published studies. Each lists its sources and a "facts checked" date.
- We do not give dosing or treatment advice, and health pages carry no affiliate links.
Images
Product photos are the makers' own images, placed unaltered on a plain tile (white, or the photo's own backdrop colour) and resized; we never crop into, recolour or retouch a product. Lifestyle photos are licensed stock photos and do not show the products we list.
