The questions
we get asked most.

Every find gets an independent evidence check the moment it's submitted. Think of it as a reviewer who reads medical research all weekend, not a marketer.

What goes into the rating:

• It judges blind. The reviewer sees only the product name and category, not the description it was posted with, so the rating reflects the science and nothing else.
• It pulls real studies. It searches the published medical research and shows the actual papers, with a quoted line from each. We never invent citations.
• It scores human evidence. You get a flame rating from one to five for how strong the research in people is.

What the flames mean:

• 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 Backed by strong human trials (randomized trials, or reviews that pool many of them).
• 🔥🔥🔥 to 🔥🔥🔥🔥 Real human evidence, but with fewer studies or some mixed results.
• 🔥 to 🔥🔥 Thin: mostly a plausible mechanism or word of mouth, with little human testing.
• Preclinical (no flames): promising in animals or cells but not yet tested in people. We show the real studies and say so plainly. It's a signal, not proof.
• No rating: for things where research isn't the right lens, like a sleep mask or an alarm clock.

Alongside the flames, each find shows how it works, the sources behind the call, and the caveats, the things the evidence does not show. A human editor can adjust the rating before it goes live.

Our promise: honesty over hype. A single solid human trial always counts as real evidence, and we never dress up animal research as proof in people.

Pick the category by who does the thing to your body:

• Supplement, something you ingest: a pill, powder, tincture, or drink (magnesium, creatine, a sleep tea).
• Service, something administered to you by someone else, usually booked with a provider at a location. Think Botox, a massage, a sauna session, an IV drip.
• Protocol, a non-exertion routine you run yourself, no provider required. Think a cold shower, a breathing drill, an evening wind-down.
• Exercise, deliberate physical training. Think yoga, weight training, running, a cycling class, rucking.

Quick test: if you have to book someone to perform it, it's a service. If you swallow it, it's a supplement. If it gets your body working, it's exercise. Any other habit you run yourself is a protocol.

Two separate paths, and they behave differently:

• The public feed, you're welcome to submit one, but expect a lower chance of editor approval. Prescriptions are usually doctor-dependent, dose, fit, and safety vary by person, so they rarely generalize the way a supplement or protocol does, which is the bar for the public feed.
• Your personal tracker, add it freely. It stays private to you, and it gets analyzed alongside the rest of your stack, so your interactions, timing, and overall picture stay complete.

Short version: track it for yourself anytime; submitting it publicly is allowed but less likely to be published.

It's a real and growing part of the wellness conversation, and we don't dismiss it. The decision to keep it out of the public feed isn't a judgment on the category, it's about the room we're in.

The feed is a shared, public space, browsed by a wide audience in all kinds of settings. We'd rather everyone feel at ease scrolling it than optimize for completeness, so we keep sexual wellness out of the open feed by design.

That said, it's still your stack. If specific topics here are part of your routine, you're welcome to track them privately in your own tracker, where they stay yours and factor into the analysis alongside everything else.
