Abby Winters is perennially among the top rated sites on the TBP listings and for good reason. Abby is a self-ascribed "Australian Chick" who has compiled an enormous library of original content featuring Australian amateurs. This is a full re-review which is necessary because the site has continued to evolve and has now segmented into three main parts based on content type: Solo, Girl/Girl, and Intimate Moments. They're all still under the AbbyWinters.com umbrella so it is still one cohesive site although the navigation and membership options are built around the three-tier concept.
The Goods:
- Tons of Exclusive Australian Amateurs. Abby has years of archives with thousands of both picture galleries and videos and around a thousand total models. With the focus being on Australian amateur girls in both solo and girl/girl action it's outstanding that she's been able to put together such a sizable amount of content. The models themselves are cute girl-next-door types that definitely deserve the 'amateur' label which is good since many other porn sites misuse that term.
- High-Res Pics & Vids, Several Options. The pictures are high resolution and easily browse able online. There are also full-gallery zip files plus a customizable zip feature where you can hand pick which images to download. Videos are offered as high quality MPEG and WMV files plus they've added in-browser Flash which stream/buffer very quickly. Content facts/specs are provided across the board including things like # of pics, zip file size, video size in Mb, and video length in minutes.
- Sharp Design, Helpful Browsing Tools. The site layout is well done with a clear professional style. The overarching breakdown revolves around the Solo, Girl/Girl, and Intimate Moments section. Beyond that there are clear header tabs with sections for the different picture gallery and video content which can be further sorted chronologically, by model name, and in other ways. So called "Lists" are another choice and there are a ton of these that offer a breakdown by all sorts of model physical characteristics, type of action, recommendations, etc. Considering the size of Abby's collection the overall site design is easy-to-us and a big positive.
- Daily Updates, Member Forum, Abby Info. These are a few items I've lumped together that add further value to the site. Updates are done daily and the member's main page archives a log of past additions. All content across the site is date-stamped. The forum is active and includes discussion of the site, content, and ability to chat directly with models. Abby posts excellent info out her site and concept including some informative FAQs. These kind of personal details are welcome on amateur collections like hers.
The Bads:
- Different Membership Levels & Prices. As I've already mentioned the basic setup of the site is built on the foundation of separate sections for Solo, Girl/Girl, and Intimate Moment content. This holds true in the layout/navigation and also in the pricing structure and membership options. My basic rule for paysites is to keep things simple and I prefer one price for access to everything a site has to offer. Abby is probably one of the sites that can justify the different levels but simplicity is certainly my preference and the different prices may be seen as an annoyance to many surfers.
- Vid Options Vary, Some in Clip Segments Only. This issue is not a large negative by falls under the category of consistency. Some of Abby's movies are in full-movie files while others are broken into clip segments. Probably because of my high expectations I'd love to see both clip segments and full-movie options for all the movies. The Flash option is a nice choice that helps as an additional choice but man I'd be great if they could satisfy everyone with full-files and clips for each vid shoot.
Conclusion:
There are a lot of amateur sites out there as well as high-res pic/vid sites as well but Abby's site does separate herself from the crowd with the Australian focus and by sticking with everyday looking models. They cover all aspects of amateur action including solo stripping, masturbation, toy play, and girl/girl. Boy/girl is the one area they leave out although they did a little bit of that a few years back and still have those shoots online for members. The fact is Abby is both one of the best amateur niche sites and one of the top overall paysites on the net.
