Reviews
What we’re testing, and what’s next.
A review goes live when we are done using the product — not when the brand sends a launch email. That means this page is mostly a queue right now, and we would rather show you the queue than pretend otherwise.

Stayr Ring Review
Marc has been wearing it for six weeks. We want to know whether it does anything a $12 ring off Amazon does not, and whether the sizing actually works for normal humans.

Hims Review (ED treatment)
The biggest name in the category, and the one we get asked about most. We signed up as ordinary customers to see what the intake really screens for and what the price looks like in month seven.

Hims Hair Loss Review
David started the topical-and-oral combo in June with a fixed camera setup and a monthly photo. Six months of the same lighting, the same angle, the same haircut length.

Eddie by Giddy Review
An FDA-registered device at a price that makes you blink. The real question is whether the design difference is engineering or marketing — and whether insurance or HSA actually covers it.

Keeps Review
The cheaper hair-loss subscription. We are running it side by side with the Hims protocol on two similar heads to see whether the lower price costs you anything real.

Ro (Roman) Review
The other giant. We are especially interested in what happens when you ask a real clinician a real follow-up question, and how long it takes to get an answer.

BlueChew Review
Chewable, discreet, aggressively advertised on every podcast in America. We want to see the actual cost per dose once the free trial ends, and how easy the account is to close.

Hone Health Review
At-home testosterone testing and, if you qualify, treatment. This one gets the most careful write-up we do, because the downside of getting it wrong is not a wasted $40.

Oura Ring 4 Review
Six months in, does the ring change what you actually do, or does it just tell you what you already suspected about your sleep? And is the monthly fee defensible?

Lumin Skincare Review
Men’s skincare sold on a subscription model with a free-trial hook. We are running the full trial-to-renewal cycle exactly the way a normal customer would.
