Melissa Blake is the Senior Editor of 1A. She writes and maintains every page on the site, with a focus on the questions shoppers rarely get straight answers to: what a material label actually means, which safety rules apply to adult products, and what a retailer's guarantee pays once the box is open.
What she covers
- Sex toy materials and the difference between porous and non-porous construction.
- Chemical and electrical rules that do and do not reach adult products, including phthalate restrictions and CE marking.
- Retail return policies, satisfaction guarantees and discreet shipping terms.
- Counterfeit products and marketplace seller identity.
- Cleaning and care by material.
How she works
Melissa's approach is to read the seller's own policy page rather than the marketing around it, and to say plainly when something could not be confirmed. That is why pages on the site separate verified figures from reported ones. The full process is on the methodology page, and the standards she edits to are on the editorial policy page.
