How to write a review that actually helps another woman

3 min read

A five-star review that says "love it!" helps nobody. The reviews women actually act on are specific, and they're about the thing — not about a person.

Lead with the facts you'd want

For a product, that's usually:

  • Your usual size and the size you ordered
  • Whether it ran big, small or true to size
  • Fabric feel, weight and whether it's see-through
  • What you paid and whether it felt worth it
  • How it held up after a few wears or washes

For a place, describe the experience

Time of day, wait time, price range, noise level, accessibility and whether you'd go back. Anything a stranger deciding at 6pm on a Friday would want to know.

Keep it about the thing, not the person

Coven reviews cover products, services and places only. Reviews of individuals, gossip, accusations and anything targeting a named person are removed automatically — that rule is what keeps the whole thing usable.

Never include identifying details

No names, no addresses, no phone numbers, no socials — yours or anyone else's. Coven's privacy guard screens every review before it publishes and will ask you to edit anything identifying.

Anonymous doesn't mean careless

Your review publishes under your anonymous handle, never your real name. That's there so you can be honest, not so you can be cruel. Fair, specific and unsponsored is the whole standard.

Questions we get asked

Can anyone see who wrote my review?

No. Reviews publish under an anonymous handle generated for your account, and your profile details stay private to you.

Can I review a person?

No. Coven only accepts reviews of products, services, venues and events. Reviews aimed at individuals are blocked.
