I am getting a better understanding and can agree to an extent on how you feel about a mature woman dressed in glam. However, the main point I'm getting at is that is like 1/4, if not less of the content on this site is glamour; so I don't understand how this can be a such a huge setback for you. I'd say more than half of the photos are featuring the women in everyday clothes. Isn't that what you want? (confused).
I am not trying to give you a hard time at all. But, I am just trying to understand your scoring for the site. A site that mixes up content with solo, lesbianism, and hardcore should be more praised, even if the solo content is what you want mostly. I just don't see how this is a negative aspect of a site and worthy of points being reduced.
Right on with the only commenting on only photography. However, I only think doing this will be a set back for your reviews in the future to not include some info on them. But, to each it's own.
But, to sum it up, I don't think I'm going to fully understand the scoring of this review without some more clarification about as to why certain aspects are cut down. However, these are opinion based reviews and just because I don't understand or fully agree with the review does not mean I am right. Thanks for your time.
I'm a bit confused as far as the mainstream glam remark? Maybe just the elegant ladies category but I found more than half the outfits to be regular attire worn to the mall or them doing regular household chores. I think there is a superior mix of glam with different outfits. Plus, there is a lot of working woman attire (I.E.: secretary) which I would never qualify as glamour at all.
I do agree with the fact that not all models are beauties. I think this is due to the site trying to update so much quickly that they cannot pick and choose quality models for updates. But, with talks about this with messmer and others, one person's gem of a woman can be another person's hag.
I'm not trying to ridicule or be negative, but I dislike the fact that this review had no comment about the videos. It's not fair for the site which has both quality photography and videography to only be judged on your opinion of the quality of photography. But, this is just my opinion.
To move on, while personally I think the score is a bit low, I just can't figure out why the score is so low. 77 is a bit average for this site in my opinion. All I can see for the reason that the site is scored a bit lower than I think is because you think there is too much glamour photos, it features hardcore plus solo, and not all the models are hot? Interesting.
Thanks for the review and welcome to PU. I hope to see more reviews soon. Take care.
I found this to be the only basic burden of the site, that and the videos being a bit underpar in terms of technicalities. It's a shame that this site and Anilos are the only two basic good sites for mature content. Oh, and that Karups one too I guess? Well keep me posted if there are any stand out updates but until that, I think I may just be happy with my monthly purchase until next year or so.
I suppose you are right but this site has some downright hags :) I am quite open to all women and I even don't mind some more of the 'ugly' women going at it or you could even say plain janes. This site has a lot of beautiful older women and plain janes. However, I lump these two categories in terms of attractiveness together because I think they both have great qualities that most can agree on. I am not trying to sound superficial but I understand that concept of others finding certain qualities better than others. As I think I said in a post on the forum, I think the overall consensus of men know what an attractive woman is and can agree on what a total hag is. Were talking about porn here and I'm not gonna get in to personality cause that's a whole diff concept. For example, a plain jane can be totally hot to me cause she is totally down to earth and a playboy bunny can be totally disgusting to me because she's a downright bitch. However, in porn, I wanna see the playboy bunny and not the plainer jane if I have a choice. And by looking at anilos, I see this concept being put in to the place. That site looks great as far as the content is and I think they are on a great pace to give this place a run for their money. So I guess what I'm trying to say is if the standards were lifted just a little, I'd prolly give this a low score in the 90's, maybe it's opinion based but it's just how I feel. However, I prolly would deduct points if they went out and got these 20 something 'milfs' I see on all these other 'mature' sites. Maybe, if they would just not worry about updating so much, they can find better quality models. And by the way, I don't mind a 'lesser' attractive model being thrown in to the mix every once in awhile, just not daily :)

Pros:
- Exclusive, Real Mature Content
- No DRM
- No Download limit
- Variance of content (Hardcore, solo, toyplay, and lesbianism)
- Photoshoots are not only video stills (they are included though)
- Above average resolution pics available in zip format with 2 sizes (1024 and 1536)
- Above average quality of videos available in 2 formats (.wmv: 640 X 480, 1089 kbps and .mpeg: 640 X 480 with higher quality, maybe around 1.5 - 2 kbps)
- Great model profiles including an original scan of the paper questionnaire they filled out
- 21 other video feeds including 6 HD feeds all in variance of content (from hardcore to solo) that are not in the mature niche
- Model index and search functions
- Updates 1-2 times a day with an average of 4 photo sets plus a movie (could be a hindrance in my opinion, more in bottom line)
- Active forum
- Bonus updates which are photosets from karups older women about every 3-4 days
- Simple design and easy to browse
Cons:
- Niche makes it harder to find extremely hot models (more in bottom line)
- While videos are above average, they could be better with at least 1280 4kbps or widescreen
Bottom Line:
I have rented a lot of Mature dvds and they almost never hit the niche correctly. This site, really does hit it right. The majority if not all, are over 30 and you can tell. However, true mature sites are scarce and so are very good models and I feel the need to update constantly has put a damper on some of the models here. While the majority are natural and of age which vary in where they live (from USA to Europe), there are quite a lot that are just not attractive. I mean, they were probably not even very attractive in their teens or 20's or so on. But, they are truly mature and this is obviously a plus and a con at the same time. By the way, don't expect those models from those 'milf' sites you usually see, these models are mostly all natural and are actual older women showcasing their true mature bodies.
The videos are great when it comes to content. They display most models in a hardcore scene but you almost always get them in a solo fingering scene or toyplay which can be downloaded in full scenes or scene clips (at least, the newer ones). While the quality could be better for this day n' age, they are alright. The videos can range from an amatuerish feel to being done professionally and I have noticed a lot of videos the camera man has traveled to their actual homes for the scene. There are some 'fetish' videos which might showcase feet or another area, but nothing gets too out of the ordinary. Plus, there are interview videos as well for almost every model if you are in to these. As of the date of this review, they currently have 1142 Videos.
The photo sets are great here. They showcase sets that are exclusive and are not just video stills. This means, these photo sets are good softcore sets showcasing their bodies that are not in video format as well. Plus there are plenty of these. They all vary in a type of 'costume' for the model which include showing them in an home enviornment doing simple chores and undressing. Another type is the "9 to 5 lady" which is usually the model in office wear and usually by a computer or phone. There are shoots of the models in regular attire that they would just wear out to a mall and they strip. Then, there are the "Elegent ladies" which displays the model in a nice dress and strip. Currently, as of this date, there are 381,690 photos.
This site really has a lot going for them. I enjoy the site a lot and always look forward to the new content. The real reason I just can't give them a higher score is the attractiveness of a lot of the models. Don't get me wrong, in the mix I have found A LOT of models that I love. But, when a site has a lot of less attractive models, I cannot give it the highest. But, they do stay true to the niche which is absolutely great. Plus, they do update a lot which will cater to most. However, I feel that if this place becomes a bit more discriminate in their models (even if it lowers updates) they will be the top of all mature sites. They are in the top 3 atm for su
Demand for quick updates affects quality plus niche
Hello,
I joined this site earlier in the month after scanning good reviews from others here. However, when it comes to the quanity of the site which is great, the quality of the models tends to be affected imho. But, I do know that the niche of real mature models gets in the way of finding a lot of models because of reasons I'll get in to some other time. Therefore, I have to say that the models here that I find attractive are far in between the lousy ones. I'm thinking the demand for new models and quick updates is the culprit. Don't get me wrong, this site does A LOT of things right and is near perfect in all those aspects. Also, I understand quick updates is very attractive to customers. I just have to say, a lot of these models look like they weren't even attractive in their teens, 20's, or even now. I feel I have an okay eye for natural, mature women and I know women can blossom even more as time goes on but c'mon...Does anyone else agree or what. I think updating less here would get more quality models, which I think this place needs.
I'm gonna do a new review pretty soon for this site but the videos seem to be the same as the older ones. Same WMV and MPEG formats at the. They look okay I suppose but def not up to par with what I've seen on plenty of other sites.
Yeah I would say the whole network, this is solely based on using the information from TBP stats. Since the stats at TBP state that there are more videos than what I downloaded upon joining, I am assuming that they are revolving old content as new. However, this is all assumption. But, I can tell you that upon joining that the content was much lower than what each of TBP says there should be. And yes, the quality for all the sites is pretty bad. There are a few sites within the network (I think 3 or 4) that offered 640 X 480 videos with an average bitrate but this is not the majority. I stated in the original comment how many each site within the network averaged within photo sets and videos.
As far as the network goes, it just lists all the sites on the same page then links you to each site logged in already. Hope this helps clarify things.
Just accessed the site and all content videos can be downloaded within 20 minutes (in a download queue). Videos are still sometimes in clips, some can only be streamed, and the quality is still stuck pre 2007.
Pictures still cannot be downloaded via zip and they are at a low res with poor quality.
While there are quite a few sites (11 with each being an individual model's site), I would not be surprised if the content is recycled. I'd say each site has an average of 12 videos (some may be less or a bit more, but never very high) and picture galleries in the 20's (same as videos, some higher and some lower). In my opinion, avoid this site at this price. If you can find it for maybe $14.95 or under, maybe for a one month stay.
Thanks for the reply and yes I was still looking for an answer. I hate that DivX files rarely play on the PS3 and even some WMV's. The worst thing is when I join a site that says WMV and I assume they will work for PS3 and they don't.
I was a member of ALS Scan and the videos that were not HD did not work on my PS3 due to certain codecs. Anyone who is a current member or recent, can u give me a reasonable estimate when HD videos started to update so I know how many may play on my PS3. Plus, if anyone uses a PS3 to view videos on their TV, can anyone tell me if these videos are supported with the PS3? Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Very interesting details and elaborate response. Thanks for the quick reply and butt load of details. You have definintly helped towards a decision to join or not.
Once again I have a question. I am a bit confused as to what the content is in general. After reading other reviews and yours plus looking at the preview, I have a few questions. I understand this shows models that are not as 'petite' as shown in the original ALS scan site, but as far as the actual content goes; is this a girls with toys/fingers site? Can this be compared to a site such as In Focus Girls or maybe Xisty in terms of what is found? Any information would be greatly appreciated.
Just like PinkPanther's reply, I am sorry for the late response, I had a busy weekend. You are right about the voting, I wish I had more space in review to go in to more detail about this but your reply sums up the cons of this precisly. Sweet, the members feel like they are interacting by voting for their favorite scenes to be updating in that order but sometimes a model strikes a viewer a certain way, why not let them enjoy that model even if it is a 'not for the masses' model and did'nt get the votes? Limiting this can be quite troublesome. However, I do think you are right in saying this was more with the older content. I think with the new stuff they have all the content shot (usually up to 3+ scenes) already and the voting is just the order it will be updated rather than if they will get updated or not at all like the older times? I'm not entirely sure how it is totally done exactly.
Also, to add to the updates, how are they figuring out which sets and videos to reformat if anyone knows? Do they vote for this too?
I wish other sites just gave off the vibe that the creators produce at ALS. I think due to this, this is why the sets and videos are so well (yes, I do think they use the best equipment and compression as well). Hopefully, in my laundry list of sites to join I can find this but ALS definitly sold me enough to join ALS Angels for sure :)

Pros:
- Exclusive content of younger models in solo masturbation, insertions, gaping, speculum, lesbianism, and peeing.
- All models are shaved and quite petite, these models have breasts on the smaller size.
- Updates daily with mixed content.
- No DRM.
- No Download Limit.
- Picture sets are updating at excellent resolution (~3504 X 2336 or 1600 X 1067). These vary with updates, going a bit higher or lower. Older sets are all in the smaller size. All available in zip format. Watermarks are non-intrusive.
- Videos are updating in true HD quality in 3 different formats being DivX, mp4, and WMV (1920 X 1080, ~8000 kbps or 1280 X 720, ~4000 kbps). Older videos are being updated to higher res or just available in two formats (720 X 540, ~3200 kbps or 640 X 480, ~2750 kbps). There are other options as well, a lot of variation.
- Older stuff is being remastered to formats above, so the site is constantly updated the old with the new.
- Director's Blog area for news.
- Model Index.
Cons:
- While navigation is easy, the site design has about 4 different formats that it has used in the past. These all stayed how they were at the time, so you get pages of all variations. A minor flaw, but these should all stay consistant for easier viewing.
- While I stated the fact that these models are petite and small breasted as a pro, keep this in mind when you join. There is a sister site, ALS Angels for more voluptuous models.
- While both the older photos and videos are being updated, the bulk of the material is still in the older formats at the time of this review. Just keep this in mind.
- There are a lot of videos of behind the scenes and photoshoots. While I see a purpose of these (more in bottom line), it is worth mentioning.
- The site updates models based on a voting system which is great, but in the older content it makes for downloading the picture set zips a bit awkward. Sometimes you get zips with only 1 or 2 photos in it or 2 to 3 different zip files for one set.
Bottom Line:
ALS Scan has been around for awhile. The site boasts plenty of content at more than 70,000 pictures and over 1 TB of videos. Featuring mostly small breasted euro models, the majority of the models are extremely cute in nature. While I personally like my models a bit bigger in general, I cannot knock the site for wanting these type of girls here. The directors appear to create such a comforting aura with these girls resulting in extremely quality content that is both sexually arousing for the models and fun. It's one of the first sites in awhile that the models appear to be enjoying themselves for real and not just putting on a show for money.
The videos in the new format are the BEST I've ever seen to the date in terms of quality of clarity. Finally, a site using a true HD camera with the right compression. However, these files can get extremely large. But, it's worth it in my opinion. There are 3 styles of video content. These being BTS & photoshoots, solo masturbation, and lesbian scenes. The BTS & photoshoots are not there exactly for the pure sexuality, but I found these to be a great glimpse in to the model's personality. These display everything from gaping, speculum, peeing, to staged masturbation or lesbianism. The masturbation scenes are very well done in terms of the sexual energy and camera work. As stated before, there is a comfort level that these directors produce which makes for these models truly enjoying exploring their bodies. There is just a raw feeling in most of these videos that really struck me the right way. These videos are clearly potraying a young woman enjoying herself sexually in a real fashion. The lesbian scenes are quite raw as well. The models used for these scenes really appear to enjoy each others company and are truly attracted to each other. Lots of kissing and smiling, but intense fisting, fingering, and licking as well. I really don't gravitate towards lesbian content but I found these videos to be quite impressive.
The photography is top of the line and features mostly simulated masturbation and or extreme close ups or long shots filled with tons of props for insertions. The newer high res show off the model extremely well and are not photoshopped for fakeness. But, even the lower res photos look good. You will probably be downloading a few of these because the high res photo zips can be as large as the videos at ~500+ MBs for a scene.
Overall, with the mix of awesome photos and extremely great videos, this site is something else. The solo model content mixed with the girl-girl action is solid. Plus, there are scenes at vacation spots with 5+ featured models which are some of the best content I've ever seen at any site so far. I love those scenes. The site may be lacking in site design and the older content not being up to par with the new updates, but with the attempt to reformat those I believe these cons can be overlooked. The site is bringing new models in and upgrading the old. Recommended!
Thanks a bunch that info was exactly what I was looking for in terms on a better idea of content and more clarification about the differences between the two sites. Appreciate the facts and I'm looking forward to joining the site eventually :)
I know it's been awhile since you have reviewed or maybe been a member here but I have a question: I noticed you were the only one who really talked about what the content actually is that is provided. Therefore, I noticed you said speculums. So, since this is extreme spreading, do the models do any 'extreme' spreading with just their fingers or is it primarily insertions and the speculums? I hope this makes sense, or if you even remember. I assume you would because you like the site so much :)
Anyways, I have been interested in ALS Scan for awhile now and I was told that this displays primarily more 'petite' models while ALS Angels is more of the 'thicker and busty' models? Any info from any of these questions would be great and I'd appreciate it a lot!
Site plug city :) Pro's and Con's aren't bad but that bottom line is ridiculous. But, you seem very excited with this site so I might check it out one day.
It's been about a year or more since I have been waiting for a review or at least a facts list update. So I'm going to ask in a comment finally what this site really does offer in terms of updates per week, size and quality of videos, size and quality of photos, when the free live web cm show is, how good the shows are/how long, and what the typical content consists of? Oh and how much content is really offered. Any information would be greatly appreciated if you have it! Thanks for your time.
Anyone know is this site is a clone of TS Miami Goddess? Or, is it a a relaunched site with the same model doing new content? Also, is the content available for the old site? The site design looks basically the same. However, the video res was quite small for site in 2010 at 480 with TS Miami Goddess and no zips were available for photos. Anyone know anything about the stats for this site since TBP has not updated any facts sheets about the site yet. Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for your time.
Thanks for a review of a site I have been interested in since I stumbled across it. Some pretty good information but I would not mind even more detail as to what the site has to offer. Like, do both the TS and male models cum in most videos? What kind of settings are involved? How many different models are offered? While you mentioned a lot of scenes the male is the bottom, but is this always the case? Are all the scenes involved showcase the male as the bottom? If not, is there any rotation of the TS as the bottom?
While I ask these questions, I still respect and enjoy the review you have offered. Thanks for your time and I hope to see more!
The site was launched in 2010 but is featuring 640 X 480 res videos. Anyone been a member and can comment on how these videos look because if they are 640 X 480 in 2010, I hope the clarity is extremely well. Any other additional info about the site would be greatly appreciated as well including the direction, model index, overall content, and so on. Thanks for your time.
