I might not be a fetish enthusiast myself yet I'm the first one to applaud sites that offered an original collection of interesting fetish content. Rubber Clinic is kind of a "microniche" in that it fits into fetish and bdsm but specifically focuses on rubber and latex. Actually that's really the foundation upon which they build on the action with some freaky hardcore stuff.
The Pros:
- Rubber/Latex Mixes with Hardcore Fetishes. Typically rubber and latex sites stay grounded in sexy women posing in the material. Even those that venture into bdsm can't reach the extreme level of Rubber Clinic. The shoots here cover things like rubber strap-ons, pissing, enemas, speculums, masks, and more. It's quite an entertaining mix of fetishes all of which are based on the rubber/latex theme.
- Professional Shoots. The production value of the shoots is prevalent in all the content. The studio setups, outfits, and performers know what they're doing and it makes for a quality product. In fact along with the content I'd say the whole site has a quality feel to it. Fans of this niche should enjoy the product these guys have put together.
The Cons:
- Real Player Videos. The single format for movies here is Real Player. Not only is that a lesser used format than WMV but that also means you'll have to enter a username and password to play each video. Furthermore streaming isn't an option here, it's only possible to download Rubber Clinic's vids.
- Model Directory Doesn't Link Content. Rubber Clinic has a "patient list" with the girl bios but they leave off the most important thing which is linking through to each of the girl's appearances. To me this feature seems only part way done, linking to the content would make for a nice navigation tool.
Conclusion:
Their updates shows new content gets added every four days. Should they keep this up the site will become a better value as the collection gets larger. That's especially true since the number of movies is only a few dozen and they're each only a few minute long.

The Rubber Clinic has continued to grow and become a sizable site with hundreds of photo galleries and also hundreds of video clips. For a rubber/latex focused fetish site they really have an impressive amount of material and fetish fans are likely to enjoy what they have to offer. The key change is on the video formatting which have gone from Real Player on the older movies to now downloadable WMV files. This change is positive but they have managed to stub their toe by putting in DRM protection on the WMV movies. So the balancing act you need to consider is that The Rubber Clinic has excellent and entertaining latex/fetish content which is tempered by the DRM that always stands out as a glaring negative on any site. The navigation is still quite basic and could use more tools since they have such a sizable collection. The model index still doesn't link to the performers and some categorization or filter tools would help. Even though there are ways for them to improve the infrastructure there's no denying that these guys know have some downright fun and extreme fetish content.
Score increased from 78.0 to 81.0.
