Playboy Plus Review

Like many adult brands, Playboy Plus is the result of an effort to rein in the excess sites that companies create over time. Here, these sites are now called Categories, and it's worth looking at each in turn to better understand their nuances. Some of the smallest categories, like Celebrities and Adult Stars, are exactly what they sound like. The other small-ish category is Playboy Creators, which appears to be self-shot content a la OnlyFans and Fansly.

The meat of the collection comes from the Playmates, Playboy Muses, VIP content, and International categories. The Playmates are the exclusive Playboy girls, and International is the same, only from their studios in places like Brazil, Germany, and South Africa. Playboy Muses and VIP are more grab bags and include their first forays into digital, with lots of web-only shoots and nonexclusive models dating all the way back to the turn of the millennium.

Finally, there's the Editor's Choice category. A lot of this content is compilation porn, with curated photo sets and videos stitched together to form new scenes. You'll also find previously unpublished photos, casting calls, "home" videos, and podcasts. I'm usually not a fan of compilations, but some of these are a real labor of love, with interesting themes like March birthdays, seasonal flashbacks, daily doubles, and others.

As to the content itself, I'm not going to condescend to explain to you what Playboy is all about. I will mention that the archives go back to the 1970s, though. And you'll occasionally find pictures from the 1960s in the compilation content. Also, if you're expecting to see hardcore porn, this isn't the membership for you. It's all softcore or full frontal, and there are no men to distract you from this female-only paradise. 

What Works About Playboy Plus?

Although Hugh Hefner's original magazine went to print in 1953 (and ended its run in 2020), the online experience is thoroughly modern. It's evolved over the years, which you can see at a glance by visiting the legacy members' area. The current version is streamlined and designed to highlight the models' beauty in every way, from massive thumbnails to crisp UI elements. It's also mobile-responsive, giving you access on any device.

For navigation, there's a keyword search to find anything you already know the name of. You can sort the collection or browse by year in any of the categories. The thumbnail size is adjustable, letting you choose how much to focus on individual shoots. With those, you can also add them to your favorites, leave comments, or drop a thumbs up if you approve.

You can browse the model index in specific sections, like Muses of the Month or Year, or as a whole. It includes some sorting and filtering options, although the filters are limited to the categories described above and the girls' hair color. Most girls have a bio, although some are more generic than others.

Before contacting support, you can check out the short FAQ below the contact form. That's also how you'll reach out in case of any issues or if you want to cancel your membership(s). If you're running into any roadblocks or want a second opinion, message Rabbit's.

What Doesn't Work On Playboy Plus?

Oddly, the Playmate content isn't available for download. There's a message stating it's not unavailable at this time, which could mean there's an issue waiting to be sorted out. But it's unclear how long that message has been there, and it wouldn't be too surprising if they were keeping some content closer to the chest to deter pirates and other ne'er-do-wells.

Remasters and upscaled SD content are pretty common on Playboy Plus. The remasters look good, don't get me wrong, but they're obviously not new shoots. And the upscaled content is essentially just bigger versions of low-quality footage, which doesn't look all that great. Of course, we're talking about a huge collection of old content, but still, it's always good to know what to expect before busting your wad.

You can't separate the photos from the videos. They don't include tags or an advanced search, either. And the categories don't really describe what you'll find and often overlap, like pornstars appearing in the Celebrities section or compilations bleeding out past the Editor's Choice section. And if a shoot is video-only, it's just a blank thumbnail with no autoplay to tell you what's inside.

Although you probably won't be itching for more content, considering all that you're getting already, it's still worth mentioning members don't get any bonus content. 

Do I Recommend Playboy Plus?

This collection is massive, updates frequently, and continues to increase in quality. It has some shortcomings, especially on the usability side. But with unlimited downloads, creating your own archives to browse is possible. Overall, if you're looking to wax nostalgic for the porn of the past or discover what makes this brand so venerated, you couldn't ask for much more. Well, you could ask to pay less, but that's also possible if you use our Playboy Plus discount.
