Whale Tail Bangers offers a collection of scenes taken from "whale tail" themed DVD releases with plenty of hot action and well-known porn stars. For the uninitiated, "whale tail" refers to the straps of a thong peeking out from under a sexy gals jeans. This is not, however, a softcore or panty oriented site, but rather a hardcore collection that just happens to feature some sexy whale tails. Membership also includes a large bonus package.
The collection here at Whale Tail Bangers is definitely on the small side at just 20 videos so far. Although most of these do come with a set of digital still photos, this is still a pretty small site. Updates are fairly slow with an average of just two new scenes each month. Luckily, members get access to 10 additional sites in the network in a wide variety of categories, and this helps to add significant value to the cost of membership.
The scenes here tend to have a small bit of plot at the beginning to set the stage for the hardcore action, and this is where you'll see the whale tails. You'll get plenty of close-ups and chances to admire the lovely asses sticking up out of these genes. These are not, however, plot heavy, and the vast majority of the running time of each flick is dedicated to pure sex. These are professionally produced scenes that were originally released on DVDs, and they feature plenty of well-known porn stars including Bree Olson, Phoenix Marie, and Maya Hills.
I was somewhat surprised to see that the vast majority of the video scenes here are below average in quality. The majority of the collection comes at just 850 x 478 pixels or so, with the bitrates of around 1500 kbps. These don't look all that great and are noticeably grainy even when you leave them at their normal size. Enlarging for full-screen viewing only makes it worse. A handful of the videos come at a higher quality level of 1280 x 720 pixels, 2000 kbps and these are much more in line with what I expect to see from new release material these days. Frankly, it's a real shame that the rest of the collection isn't offered at this higher quality level. The photo sets are obviously meant as a side dish to the videos and I wasn't expecting too much, but they look fairly decent data size of 900 x 600 pixels.
Whale Tail Bangers have the kind of tour that I like to see. It's a virtual copy of the inside of the site, and potential members can check out the full collection, see exactly how often the site updates, and check out some streaming video trailers. You can even preview the various sections of the members area including the model index and the bonus sites.
When you log into the members' area here, all of the materials from the various bonus sites will be displayed alongside the Whale Tail Bangers collection. You can choose to keep things this way, or you can choose to display only the materials from certain sites. You can even choose to display only Whale Tail Bangers materials. A model index helps you find your favorite stars, and a keyword search box also helps to narrow things down.
The members' area also offers additional options and features such as a favorites list and a large section filled with third-party bonus materials. Videos are offered for streaming in your choice of Flash or WMV format with several quality levels to choose from, but the downloadable versions only come in WMV format at a single quality level.
The two main things holding Whale Tail Bangers back are the small size of the collection and the low quality of most of the video materials. That being said, those are some pretty major issues. The large bonus package helps to make up some for the small size, but the quality level just can't be helped. Overall, I'd say that this one is really only worth it if you are interested in the network as a whole.
