Like the seal of approval for products, the seller seal of approval is a rating system. The differences being that there is no BLACK or TIN rating (as you see, I use the 'tin" image for "platinum". Its use will be explained later on). There is no "black" because if a company would be that low on the scale, I would not even put it here. Companies are rated on individual properties then overall. Thus, a company with a very good product line but a system that is a bit kludgy to navigate would get the same rating as one that is easy to use but has an average product line, or other parameter. To get a platinum, a company would have to have something extra-special going for it, such as being off the chart good, selling the heavy duty full coverage 1940' and 50's light ivery rubber sheet, catering to the ABDL market or catering to the ABLG market. Companies are rated using several properties. Since tthis is my rating section, they are rated by my standards. If you wish to use this sytem then PM me at Daily Diapers and an arrangement can be made (You may not wish to keep the "LG" property and use properties of your own special designation)
INTERPRETATIONA: If a company is reviewed here, it is a C or better. The ratings are 1=Good; C to C/B, 2=Superior; B to B/A, 3=Best A- to A+. 3!=Off the Chart; wherever "!" appears means "in a class by itself". The net result is that you will see a number from 5 to 15 whith anywhere from 0 to 4 emojis. This is used in the Seal of Approval awarded. Emojis move the rating up one step
So, let's get into it:
It does not matter if the company's product line is mostly disposable diapers or not. The key question is "how much of what I want can I get here?" and is there enough to justify a certain rating. Disposable diapers play no part in the rating. Also, any company here has at least one product that is a B or better
