Reason: Streaming is working now on older videos too
|
| Pros: |
So help me, I really enjoy the story lines
They take their time
They sure look like real lesbians to me.
New videos are posted once every 3 days. Given the length of the videos that’s not a bad schedule.
Over 600 actresses appearing in one or more videos
Some actresses have A LOT of content – Prinzess is in 88 videos, India Summer in 77, Elexis Monroe in 152 videos (!), to name a few (although some are just cameos)
I’ve been pretty pleased with the talent appearing in their most recent videos – hopefully this is a trend that continues
Download speeds are good and streaming speeds are fine too
PU discount price of $14.95 per month is pretty reasonable |
| Cons: |
Anything with a post date of 10/17/2013 or earlier will not stream for me, anything with a listed date after that will stream fine.
Streaming quality is not HD – more like 480p or 540P
Really big file sizes for downloads
I like talking and foreplay, but there’s too much of it here for my taste. Good thing fast forward works
Videos only – no pictures
No model info at all
Logging in requires a captcha
Navigation and site layout could use some work – not that easy to find what you are looking for, unless you can be pretty specific. No Favorites, although they do have Playlists, which sort of do the same thing.
The site requires Adobe Flash for any streaming. Given all of Flash’s vulnerabilities, I’d prefer to not have it installed on my system.
No HTTPS is used, so your passwords, etc. are not encrypted in transit. Same is true for all your browsing, which your ISP is now no longer required to keep private. So something to think about. |
| Bottom Line: |
Over 600 models
1294 Videos.
There’s a lot to like about this site, but I don’t love it. Update: They seem to have fixed the streaming issue for older videos, so I am bumping their score a little.
More than any other lesbian site I’ve visited, their target audience is other lesbians, as opposed to men who like watching women. The guys are certainly welcome, but the group they are most trying to appeal to is women. At least that’s the impression I got.
The videos all have some sort of story associated with them. Some of the series include “Cheer Squad Sleepover”, “Women Seeking Women”, “Mother Daughter Exchange Club”, etc. The stories are actually one of the stronger points of the site – they’re pretty good (for porn videos).
There are a lot of videos that have an older woman paired with a younger woman. Personally I prefer two younger women together. Given the total number of videos here there are plenty that have two younger women, but the percentage of older-younger combos is surprisingly high.
For example, you’d think “Cheer Squad Sleepover” would imply high school or college cheerleaders, and at least one of the ladies is a cheerleader. But the other is frequently a coach or a stepmom or somebody along those lines. Not that there’s anything wrong with that, but it isn’t what I was expecting.
“Mother Daughter Exchange Club” is another example. Of course, nobody should be surprised that one half of each couple involves a mother, who is obviously at least old enough to have a daughter who is a grown woman. But once all the exchanging is done, and the younger set has been introduced to the joys of lesbian love, wouldn’t it make sense for the two daughters to get together? Amirite?
I saw another reviewer mention the large file sizes, and he’s certainly right about that. I downloaded an older video – 480p, 32 minutes long, 1.3 GB. That’s huge. For a 480P film the quality was good – certainly comparable to a standard-definition DVD. At least the speed of the download has been fine for me, so I’m not complaining about the length of time it took to complete the download given its size, just the massive file size itself. A more recent video (posted 2/19/17) was 1080p, 39:33 long, and took up 1.93 GB. Still I was able to download 5 videos at once, or about 7.5 GB, in about an hour, and was able to stream a video as well at the same time with no loss of video or audio quality – I’d call that very good.
In your travels, you may have heard that women like talking and foreplay. Well, the women on this site love talking and foreplay – it can sometimes take 10 minutes to get to the first kiss. All that talking and foreplay leads to many of their videos having a long playing time (so far the longest one I found was 1:02:16, and it’s not like I’ve looked at even half of the videos). 30 minutes would be a short video on this site. So if you like a long slow buildup this site should be great for you. Of course, eventually they do move on to very enthusiastic Sapphic love making, so you can always skip ahead to the hotter parts if you so desire.
In terms of navigation, here’s one of the oddities. Say you are on the main page and not logged in as a member. There is a tab at the top for Categories, which allows you to filter on 68 different criteria – knee socks or stepmom for example. After you log on, when you select the same Categories tab, there are only 36 categories to select from.
Another oddity has to do with streaming. As I mentioned in the Cons, I am not able to stream any video which was posted on or before 10/17/2013. But I can stream every trailer for every video (at least for those that have trailers) regardless of how old the video is.
No HTTPS is used, so your passwords, etc. are not encrypted in transit. Same is true for all your browsing, which your ISP is now no longer required to keep private. So something to think about.
One thing to try is to go to the sign up page, then go back, then go to sign up again, then back again. (Like you’re thinking about it but not sure). Eventually you’ll get a pop-up chat window (but you have to be on the sign-up page to get the chat) where you’ll be offered a discount code – this is especially valuable if you’re looking for a longer term subscription. Or the standard PU discount is $14.95 which is pretty good. Standard non-discounted pricing would be $29.99 for monthly or $96.40 for annual.
Bottom line –there is a lot to like here. In porn, content is king, and the content here is really good. My main complaints have to do with technical issues, which should be easily fixable, but unfortunately they don’t seem to be addressing those things. So this is just an almost-great site, not a great one. |
