At woman&home, our ethos is simple: we would never recommend a product to our audience that we wouldn't personally buy, use, or give as a gift to a loved one ourselves.
Our team is diverse and experienced, full of experts in everything from perfume to air fryers. We believe that the only way to become an expert is to get hands-on experience. That's why our team vets everything possible before putting it in a buying guide, whether it's a winter coat or a vibrator.
We also take great pride in our industry awareness. Our editors are connected to leaders in their field, including health, fashion and beauty experts, as well as interior designers and even manufacturers.
Because our testing is ongoing, we always know what to look for when putting a product through its paces, and we'll also have the experience to compare against other editor-loved products, meaning we're able to make our recommendations based on continuous testing and re-assessing. From doing our hair in the morning to tracking our daily step count, every day involves ongoing consideration of exciting new launches and tried-and-true favourites.
How we research and test products
We cover an eclectic and exciting range of products on woman&home, from water bottles to mattresses. To test, analyse, review and recommend products across our core categories of beauty, fashion, health and wellbeing, and homes, our experienced editors engage additional experts in each specific field to examine, interrogate and contribute additional insight on the products we recommend.
If we're testing the best whitening toothpastes, we'll ensure we've consulted with dentists, and when reviewing the best air purifiers we make an effort to work with certified indoor environmentalists as designated by the Indoor Air Quality Association.
When our beauty editor says that she has worn Chanel perfume for many years, she really means it.
All of the products we test are used in a real-world environment and are never tested in a lab. This means that we use the products in the same way you will, either in our homes or in the outside world, which enables us to give feedback and provide a review that will be truly helpful and hopefully help inform your decision about what the best buys are for you.
In each of our buyer's guides you will find a 'How we tested' section, that specifically details how the products in that guide were tested and what methodology was used to choose the 'best' for our guide.
When we've tried something on for size, we'll always try and show you - like our fashion contributor Jess here, looking fabulous in a series of leather jackets.
Ethics and integrity
Although the way we test products for different sections of our site may differ, our approach to content creation, and our ethics and integrity, always remains the same.
We take great pride in the quality of our content on womanandhome.com. We are impartial, thorough and accurate. We take care to speak to credible experts and examine the latest research findings.
Woman&home is supported by its audience. This means that when you purchase a product through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. It won't cost you more, but acts as compensation from the retailer sites for links and purchases directed to them from our site. We only feature products we personally recommend and affiliate commission does not influence our final product selection in buyer's guides or reviews. We never take money for reviews or inclusion in our buyer's guides.
We also publish advertorials (paid-for editorial content) and sponsored content on the site. When this is the case the content is clearly marked as sponsored or promoted, so you’ll always know which content is editorial and which is not. Future PLC is our parent company and has an in-depth terms and conditions page with a lot more information that you can read right here.
All of the opinions expressed about products, and recommendations of products in buyer's guides and reviews, are our own. Any products our writers include in editorial content, as opposed to advertorials or paid-for editorial content, are chosen independently by our editorial team with no input from brands, our commercial partners or affiliate partnerships.
If you find an article that you think needs to be improved then please reach out to our team. You can find their details on our Contact Us page.
