| Pros: |
- The main site you get with this subscription is Babes.com, but they offer network access to Elegant Anal, Stepmom Lessons, Black is Better and Office Obsession.
Babes.com has around 977 scenes with updates every 2 days, but the network updates even more often.
- Scenes are pretty varied with a lot of different locations, premises and types of action. To give you an idea they have around 224 Lesbian movies, around 100 threesome scenes, 181 Outdoor scenes, about a dozen massage scenes and 149 work fantasy scenes which include all kinds of jobs.
- Some great models and while the focus is clearly on white young models shot in glamour scenes there is some variety. For context 640 scenes have a Caucasian model.
- Most scenes are around 30-40 minutes and there's a decent amount of variation in set up: some scenes have no dialog, some scenes have voice over to set things up, some have the actors talking and setting up the scene, it's a nice mix overall |
| Cons: |
- As I mentioned in my Elegant Anal review this whole network has an ad problem, tons of ads pretty much everywhere you look. They are pushing content from other sites, they have channels which seem to be attempts to re-sell other networks. The regular membership only includes streaming and a big banner that ask you to unlock downloads. It's a pain overall and it feels like navigation is more cumbersome than it should be (the menu for example has 3 navigation buttons but 4 buttons that lead to some kind of promotion or upsell).
- No easy way to filter all models from just one site. The tag system is alright, but could also be improved. Like let's say I want to see all interracial scenes on babes.com, but not those on Black is Better (which will obviously all be interracial) but the tag for black models doesn't show up when filtering by site, only when searching the entire network. Not a deal breaker but some odd quirks. |
| Bottom Line: |
I don't usually join networks that are focused around boy-girl or lesbian content, so it will be a bit hard for me to compare this to sites like Vixen or X-Art, but I'm fairly certain babes.com is going for the same glamorous look so I'll give it my best. Also for full disclosure I had a streaming only subscription so I’m not sure how fast downloads are.
Let's start with the positive: All videos I watched here were very well shot, good light, good editing with a nice mix of closeups and wide shots. They have some loosely themed series like "The Sessions" which is supposed to be a therapist interviewing a male or female model they end up having sex with, or "Bad Girl Justice" which is a series of about 5 videos themed around school girls having sex with a teacher and taking revenge on him for cheating. These mini series (some of them only 2 or 3 videos) give the site a chance to vary up the plots, the clothing and the location of the sex.
Aside from this they also have some scenes focused on oiling up the female model, kind of similar to Fucked Hard 18 and scenes that are very reminiscent of Vixen with a voice over from the female model. More recently they added a few scenes that I believe are meant to look like they are shot at night in a dance club maybe a bit similar to stuff you'd see on Blacked Raw.
Overall this variety makes the network pretty interesting as you're not always sure what you'll get when you open a scene. There is also some pretty good variety in the outfits the models are wearing and where the sex takes place.
Finally, they have some great models, both European and American. Several scenes from Elena Koshka a great scene with both Elsa Jean, Piper Perri, scenes with Gina Gerson and Luna Rival and so on. For the most part pretty well known models that can put on an interesting scene.
Unfortunately, the negatives drag things down:
Payment is really not clear. They say unlimited access, but that means no downloads unless you pay an extra monthly fee. There are ads everywhere and it constantly feels like they are trying to upsell you.
Navigation is good, but for a large network I would expect some better tagging and more filtering options. It’s also incredibly frustrating that you can’t tell what videos you’ll get from the pre-purchase preview pages. They have plenty of interesting content, I don’t get why they make it hard to preview.
Overall, the technical and sales aspect kind of lower the score here. I happened to join the Team Skeet network at around the same time I joined this site and I find myself going to their site a lot more than I’m going to babes.com although the action here is probably more interesting. I just don’t want to bother with all the ads and rather poor filtering options. That said, if some of the models I mentioned above sound interesting and you want more variety than what Vixen offers this might be a good network to join. |
