The Rubber Clinic, as expected, is a latex lover's dream, though they also mix in some "medical mayhem" (as they put it) which is an odd surprise. They offer up "latex water-sports, catheter insertion, enema fun, double penetration, strap-on fucking, heavy piss play and drinking all with the best medical heavy rubber and latex outfits." Their preview content seems to offer up typical high-quality material sometimes found in this genre, so I'm hoping their member's area offers more of the same. They charge $30 for the first month, and $25 each month thereafter which is about as expected.
The goods:
- You can see the whole site in their tour before joining. Without a real member's area, you can browse through all their content to see what they offer which can be a good thing if you're worried about getting ripped off or something.
- Quality is pretty good all around (especially videos). The pictures have great coloring and lighting, and are a decent size around 1024x800 or so. I wouldn't mind seeing some larger pictures as well honestly. The videos really shine at 1200x700 and 1200kbps, which is almost high-definition video. You can stretch them to fit your full screen and they still look fantastic.
- Updates come regularly. Every four days or so something new is up it seems, which should help this site grow pretty quickly. Dates are right on the galleries which makes it easy to figure out.
The bads:
- Could use some growth. Overall it's not a huge site here. For $30 you're getting some high-quality niche content, but I'd really like to see a lot more of it offered for your money. It may be a newer site (and everyone has to start somewhere), but hopefully with the updates they can fix this problem in the future.
- More download options would be nice. Pictures only came in one size, and when you're focused on quality I sometimes see multiple options there; zip files are available which is a plus. Videos only come in Real Video in two quality options, which is about my least favorite video type. At least they look great!
- Have to enter your password for each video. One of the reasons I dislike Real Video is their player (it's actually the main reason), which makes you enter your username and password for each new video you watch. Plus, even though it seems to download before you even get to watch it, it's still loading more while watching and you can't jump around in the video very easily sometimes.
Conclusion:
Great content on a site that just needs to mature a bit. By mature I mean grow some more, and maybe add a few extras. Otherwise they're off to a good start here, and once they've amassed a larger collection it should be a pretty nice site. Even as it is now, it's definitely worth a look if you're a fan and haven't checked their stuff out yet.

Review: 09-14-08 |
It's been quite a while since we last saw The Rubber Clinic, about two and a half years to be exact. In that time, they've definitely grown, which was one of my main complaints from before. They now have around 335 photo shoots, and 215 videos, which is a huge jump. Somehow the site looks relatively the same I think, which isn't the best news. I'd love to see a redesign with improved navigation, especially with the growth here; finding the content you want could be easier I think. The quality is looking decent, though the DRM on the videos is a bit of bad news (they're one of the few sites still doing this for some reason). Otherwise, the content is as fun as ever, and it's unique and interesting too. The growth helps a lot, especially with the high price tag. It's definitely worth a look here for you fetish fans.
Score decreased from 82.0 to 81.0.
