About DooDude & Disclosures
Who the DooDude is, why this site exists, and how reviews, sponsorships and links work here.
Who is the DooDude?
The DooDude is a real person who chooses to stay anonymous. (Would you want to be famous as “the DooDude”? Exactly.) His Captain’s Log posts started as a “relief” mechanism: a way to chronicle a lifetime of IBS-D episodes and other tummy troubles, and to squeeze a few laughs out of some miserable (but funny) experiences.
Along the way, he started reviewing the products that help everyone survive the smallest room in the house: toilet paper, flushable wipes, razors and more. Come for the product reviews, stick around for the humor!
Who is DooDude for?
Everyone with a sense of humor and a bathroom. DooDude is written to be family friendly. Every joke should be fine for a kid to read, and grown-ups are welcome to laugh louder. Some Captain’s Log posts talk about real health experiences (like heart rhythm problems and gum surgery). They’re written for grown-ups but kept clean.
How DooDude reviews products
- Hands-on reviews are products the DooDude bought and used himself. They’re labeled “Hands-on review” and describe his real experience, good and bad.
- Product overviews are research summaries based on manufacturer information and public sources. They’re labeled “Product overview” and say clearly that the product was not personally tested.
- Ratings (shown as toilet-paper rolls, out of 5) only appear on hands-on reviews and are the DooDude’s personal opinion.
- Reviews are never changed to please a brand. If a razor tore up his face, you’ll hear about it.
Sponsorships and affiliate links
- Sponsorships: DooDude does not currently have any sponsors or brand partners. Brand names on this site are mentioned because the DooDude uses or tested the products, not because anyone paid for it. If that ever changes, sponsored posts will be clearly labeled at the top of the post.
- Free products: If a brand ever sends a free product for review, the review will say so.
- Affiliate links: DooDude does not currently use affiliate links. If that changes, posts with affiliate links will say so before the first link.
Every review ends with a disclosure box that spells this out for that specific post.
Medical disclaimer
