Abby Winters has been a top scoring site of ours for nearly 5 years now so it was definitely time for another thorough review of the site to see if it still deserved such an auspicious placement. To sum up the rest of my review, I’ll tell you it certainly does. My review is long, simply because there is just so much to rave about Abby Winters. This is such an overall strong website that I suggest you make yourself comfortable because I have a lot to say.
The Goods –
All of the content here is exclusive. The site was started in 2000 by Abby herself because “she wasn’t seeing what she wanted to see on the web.” She was looking for real models highlighted in a more natural fashion, not amateurs dressed up and paraded around like pornstars. She took that vision and launched AbbyWinters.com. Now, eight years later, the site still follows that same philosophy and presents original content of cute, happy girls having fun and being naturally sexy on camera.
There’s a great-sized collection of pictures and videos. When you include all three sections of the site, there are currently 294,290 photos and 3,061 videos starring 999 models. The largest section is definitely Solo, with 54 pages of scenes, followed by Intimate Moments with 14 pages, and Girl Girl with 9 pages (in addition to their video pages which follow roughly the same proportions).
Updates come daily. In fact, multiple updates come daily, if you include all three sections of the site. They’re all posted right on the member’s homepage complete with date, preview thumbnail, description, and link. It looks like three new galleries and/or videos are added daily. It’s no wonder the site is as big as it is!
Picture and video quality are very high. The photos are large, at 1472x981, and very sharp. Whether the camera is zooming in for a tight pussy close-up shot or they’re filming outdoors in the natural light, everything always looks top notch. The videos play at up to 1700k and also look very nice.
The site is full of helpful user features. Navigation is easy yet advanced. Browse by model, site section, category, or update. Search the models by age, debut date, physical features, or even exclude some physical features that turn you off. There’s plenty of info about each scene, you can even create custom zip downloads, and it’s an all around very user-friendly and cleanly designed site.
AbbyWinters.com has a great personality and a strong community involved in it. Each scene has an honest description and the webmasters are very upfront with what members should expect from the site. The discussion forum is very active and is a great resource for chatting with the webmaster and other members. The webmaster seems truly interested in interacting with members and keeping the site on a course that is enjoyable for all. You can even talk with the models and let them know what you did or didn’t like about their recent work.
Readers of The Best Porn get a special discount code that gets you 30% off. That brings access to the basic membership to just $17.50 a month. Prices go up from there, but that savings definitely helps.
The Bads –
Getting access to everything on Abby Winters is pricey. They’ve got a tiered membership system set up so to access all three sections of the site you’ll end up paying $39 a month. Readers of our site do get a special discount price, but it is still a very costly join.
If I had to choose, video quality is probably the only area of the site that isn’t completely perfect. Don’t get me wrong, as I already said the scenes look good. However, it seems like every other area of this site is ten steps ahead of the competition. We’re looking at other sites these days with videos that play at 8000k. It may be time for Abby and Co. to bump their specs up a bit.
Conclusion –
I’ve been a fan of Abby Winters since day one and now, eight years later, I still love this site. It is so different from 99.9% of the sites we review. They seem genuinely interested in producing a quality, original content and maintaining an interesting and user-friendly site. You should keep in mind that the collection is geared towards fans of solo and girl-girl scenes, but that is really the only limitation to Abby Winters. Otherwise, the sky is the limit and I can’t wait to see where the site goes in the next eight years.
