Disclosure
Affiliate disclosure
BladderWise makes money from affiliate commissions. Here is exactly how that works, and what we do about the conflict of interest it creates.
The one-line version: BladderWise is an independent informational website. We may earn a commission if you purchase through links on this site, at no additional cost to you.
What an affiliate link is
An affiliate link is an ordinary link with a tag attached that tells the seller you arrived from here. If you then buy something, the seller pays us a percentage of that sale. You pay the same price you would have paid arriving any other way — the commission comes out of the seller’s margin, not out of your pocket.
Where these links appear
Any button or link on this site that sends you to a seller is an affiliate link, and it is labelled as one at the point where you would click it — not only here. Links to our own pages, and links included as citations or references, are not affiliate links.
What it does not change
- Your price. Nothing costs more because you came through us.
- What we publish. The limitations of a product are written from the same reading, on the same day, as the positive points, and nothing is removed from them because it might cost a sale.
- Who is included. No one pays to be mentioned on this site. We do not accept sponsorship, paid placement, or gifts in exchange for coverage.
The conflict, stated plainly
We are paid when you buy. That is a real incentive to make buying look attractive, and pretending otherwise would be the dishonest part. Our answer to it is structural rather than a promise: every product page here carries a limitations section written to be read, prices are always shown next to what alternatives cost, and anything we could not verify is printed as unverified rather than quietly dropped.
You are entitled to weigh what you read here against the fact that we benefit from a sale. We would rather you did that with the incentive in plain view.
Who you are actually buying from
We are not the seller of anything. When you follow a link from this site, you leave BladderWise and transact with a third party, under that company’s own terms, prices, shipping and refund policy. We cannot see, change, cancel or refund an order, and we have no access to your account or payment details. For anything to do with an order, contact the retailer named on your card statement.
Programs we participate in
Where a product on this site is sold through a third-party retail platform, our link is issued through that platform’s affiliate program and the retailer named at checkout is the seller of record. The retailer’s name is stated on the page that discusses the product.
Regulatory note
This disclosure is made in the spirit of the U.S. Federal Trade Commission’s guidance on endorsements and material connections: a financial relationship that could affect how you weigh what you read should be disclosed clearly, close to the recommendation, and in language you do not have to hunt for. That is why it appears at the top of every page carrying such a link, immediately beside the product section, and again on the button itself.
