Straight answer

How we make money (the honest version).

Every review on this site is free to read. No paywall, no locked verdicts, no "subscribe to see the winner." Here's how we pay for the work - and why the way we get paid can't reach the rankings.

What those /go links are

When you click a "check price" or product link on Best Suppositories, it routes through a /goredirect on our own domain. Some of those links are affiliate links to Amazon. If you buy after clicking, the retailer pays us a commission. As an Amazon Associate we earn from qualifying purchases. The price you pay is identical either way; the commission comes out of the retailer's margin, not your pocket. That commission funds the research, the data work, and the writing.

Verdicts come first. Money comes after.

Rankings are set on the merits, verified active ingredient and strength, count, cost per dose, the label's directions and safety lines, and value, beforeanyone checks whether a product has an affiliate program. The order doesn't change afterward. If the best unit on a list earns us nothing, it stays at the top.

  • A brand cannot buy a ranking, a "Best Overall" badge, or a softer review. Not for any amount.
  • We don't accept sponsored verdicts or paid placements, and we don't run "advertorial" reviews.
  • A sample doesn't buy anything either; a box we bought and a box we were sent are scored the same way.
  • If our verdict and our wallet ever disagree, the verdict wins. That's the whole business model: being worth trusting twice.

The methodology behind every verdict is published in full at how we rank.

Our top picks, too

Our ranked top picks draw from the same catalog as our reviews - products that cleared the same verification bar. Those picks may include affiliate links, and the same rule applies: the label facts pick the products, not the payout.

The serious notes

  • Follow the Drug Facts label. Glycerin, bisacodyl, hemorrhoidal, antifungal and acetaminophen suppositories are OTC drugs. We quote their labels and never dose beyond them; when the label says to stop and ask a doctor (rectal bleeding, no result, use beyond a week, fever in an infant, a first or recurring vaginal infection), do that. Nothing on this site is medical advice.
  • Boric acid and other supplements. Boric acid suppositories are not FDA-approved to treat any condition, are for vaginal use only, are poisonous if swallowed, must be kept away from children, and are not for use in pregnancy. Probiotic, vitamin E, tea tree, hyaluronic acid and herbal inserts are supplements or cosmetics; these statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration and no such product is intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.
  • Facts come from the label. Strengths, counts and ingredients are what the panel and the live listing state, or what owners consistently report, and we say which.
  • Prices change. We list MSRP or the going price at the time of writing; the "check price" link always shows the current number.
