Is Kink Vials free?
Yes. All five tests are free and there is nothing to buy. No premium tier, no paid unlock for the image export, no cap on how many times you take a test or export a shelf, and no trial that quietly expires. You are not asked for an email address, a card, or a username. The whole thing runs inside your browser, which is the main reason it costs nothing to keep online.
Is it anonymous, and do my answers get uploaded anywhere?
Nothing is uploaded. There is no sign-up, no account, and no server storing responses, so there is no profile with your name on it and nothing for anyone to leak, sell, or subpoena. Your ratings are written to localStorage on the device you used, which means they persist between visits in that one browser only. Clear your site data, use a private window, or switch devices, and they are gone.
How long does a test take?
Most people finish a thirty-five item test in ten to fifteen minutes. Rating an item takes a couple of seconds once you stop second-guessing yourself, and the slow part is the handful of entries you feel genuinely ambivalent about. You can stop and come back, since ratings are stored locally as you set them. Freestyle takes as long as you spend writing the list, because you supply the items yourself.
Does it tell me what kind of person I am, or what my results mean?
No, and that is deliberate. There is no type, no label, no percentage match, and no paragraph explaining you to yourself. The output is the shelf: your items, your numbers, in your own order of preference. Interpretation engines mostly flatter you or box you in, and either way they add a stranger's opinion on top of answers only you can verify. The numbers are more useful without the commentary.
Why rate from 0 to 100 instead of yes, no, or maybe?
Because most honest answers are not binary. Yes covers everything from mildly curious to a standing requirement, and a three-way checklist throws that range away. A slider lets you put 12 on something you would tolerate for a partner and 95 on something you actively arrange your life around. The five color bands keep the shelf readable at a glance, while the number underneath stays exact.
Can my partner and I both take a test and compare?
Yes, and it is one of the most common uses. Take the same test separately, export both shelves, then set the two images side by side. Matching items sit in the same position, so gaps are visible without any arithmetic. Nothing computes a compatibility score, which keeps the conversation on specific items rather than on a single number pretending to summarize two people.
Can I add my own items?
The five fixed tests keep their lists fixed, so that two shelves from the same test stay comparable position by position. If you want items of your own, use Freestyle: it opens as an empty shelf and every vial is one you added and labeled. People use it for what no general list covers, including specific scenarios, arrangements particular to one relationship, and limits they want written down.
Is it safe to post my shelf image?
The image contains what you put in it: item labels and fill levels. No name, no handle, no device details, and no link back to a stored profile, because there is no stored profile. So the question is social rather than technical. It is a public statement about your sex life, and whether that is safe depends on who sees your feed, not on the file itself.
