About 1A

An independent resource on the parts of buying sex toys that product pages leave out.

1A is an independent information resource for adults buying sex toys online. It covers what product listings do not: return policies once the seal is broken, what satisfaction guarantees actually pay, how discreet shipping works in practice, who the seller behind a marketplace listing really is, and what a material label means.

What we cover

The site is built around one main page on sex toys online and five reference pages that go deeper on the checks it describes:

What we do not do

We do not sell products, and no page currently carries affiliate or sponsored links. We do not rank toys or publish best-of lists. We do not run laboratory tests, and we say so wherever a claim rests on a maker's own documentation rather than independent testing. Nothing here is medical advice.

Who writes it

Content is written and maintained by Melissa Blake, Senior Editor, who covers materials, product safety and consumer standards in sexual wellness. How pages are researched is set out in the methodology, and how errors are handled in the editorial policy.

Who it is for

The site is for adults aged 18 and over. It contains no explicit imagery. Product photographs show toys on their own, and the site carries an age gate and the RTA label recognized by parental control software, explained on the age verification page.
