Disclaimer: These are the personal reflections of PML’s Purchases of WAM materials, most of which is advertised at the UMD. They are not in depth, nor should they change your opinion on purchasing WAM. This may also repeat some of what was said in the PML Interview. I am not advertising these sites, only expressing my opinion, and have no connection (bar as a customer) with these sites whatsoever.
Also, fair warning, what follows is quite long and may or may not be interesting. I hope you enjoy it, and maybe post your own experiences.
I first got into WAM around about 2005. Holly Willoughby was in the gungetank on MOM, and my curiosity peaked when my family first got Broadband around this time. Obviously one of my maiden searches was gunge. Via a long detoured route, I arrived at ECgunge (at a time when the UMD was blocked by parental control). This provided a site that catered for my growing curiosity of gunge (which grew into the fetish it is today), but also showed a glimpse of producer work, via the free adverts. For the next few years, this sated me, allowed me to continue on without having spend non-existant money. Even when I went to Uni and had control of money (aka. an overdraft & student loan), I still did not spend money on such things as wam sites.
I did however note many updates to various sites that I took interest in, updates I would later go on to buy in some cases. Again, the tease was enough for the poor student, and I was never really tempted by them at the time. I did contribute by writing stories, which you can find in the archives above, but the only videos I watched were free ones, particularly youtube ones.
Fast forward to Feb 2012. I had graduated from Uni, and was back living with my parents. I was about to get my first stable job, and thus a source of disposable income for the first time in my life. Ok, so I spent money on plenty of other stuff, like videogames. Around this time, glamourgunge.com had one of their sales. I took a look, and my adventure into produced wam began. (My wallet still hates me).
While I have more money than I ever did before, I’m not heaving with cash, and don’t want to blow all my money on what is essentially porn. Therefore I look for value when choosing which videos to download. I tend to only shop in the sales for download stores (DL), and only get a month’s subscription at a time (Sub) where possible. (They get a sale they otherwise wouldn’t get, I get cheap WAM. Win – Win). In effect, I move with my economic situation, and the market value when shopping.
Also in late September/October 2012, my laptop failed to boot up (it’d had problems, like the “google redirect” virus, so I shouldn’t have been too surprised), and I had to reset it. I had backed up files on an external hard drive beforehand (with the latest update being an ironic 2 days before the crash), but not everything got transferred (like the GGP results workings). This I like to refer to as “The Great Crash of October”. It comes up now and again.
Anyway, enough history, time for the Reviews.
glamourgunge (DL) (Feb 12 + Apr 13)
As mentioned, this was the first purchased wam material. There was a sale on, and there were scenes that I’d always admired (particularly one with thick, chunky blue gunge). I had some spare money, and decided to get some videos and photo sets. Without going into detail of what I actually bought, I spent a fair bit (probably more than I would on a month’s subscription), but I did get some quality videos. You may remember a story I wrote at the time based off one of these videos. That should give an idea of how much I liked the videos I got.
About a year later, with a paid off overdraft and having got many other videos and photo sets, I returned to glamourgunge and bought some more videos. Again, picking some of the best videos there, I was very happy with the purchases, even if I knew value could be achieved elsewhere.
The quality is excellent, studio shot, with top models on show. There is plenty of nudity (although tastefully done, with the models not showing too much), and there is most of what I like best: gunge simply poured over the head. I would recommend having a look yourself.
Favourite Scene: A tough choice between “Hannah and the Blue Gunge” and “Danni King takes a Gunge Bath”. Probably the former, since it was inspiration for a story, and was a scene I revisited many a time since I got it.
Would I go back: If there was a sale on, and there was a selection of scenes I wanted to see, I would consider returning to this site.
wambabes (Sub) (Feb 12 + ?)
So, after having my first taster of what producer quality wam could offer, I went looking for how to get the most value. It quickly became obvious The best way to achieve this would be to take out a subscription for a month, download all the available material, and then cancel before the second month is charged for. I know this is looked down upon, especially since it doesn’t make money for the producer, but from my point of view, I have limited money and want to get the maximum value. I shall continue like this unless I can be persuaded by the quality. If any producer decides to prevent this in some way, it’s simple, I won’t use them (or at least in most cases: see below).
Anyway, with that in mind, I searched through various subscription sites, and came across wambabes, which at the time advertised that they never removed anything from their site (something which has since changed). This meant for the reasonable fee of $15 (which worked out to be just over £10 in English), I got over ten years over updates.
Once inside (as I like to call the members’ area of various websites), I was pleasantly surprised at just how much material there was. Some of the older stuff even had Pattycake, who I could remember from various freebies I’d seen along the way. The variety of girls on offer was exceptional, as was the quality of the mess. What they say about subscription site is true, some of the updates are miss, but there are so many hits, that doesn’t matter.
I did however discover one flaw with most subscription sites. While they offer you excellent picture sets, you can’t download a complete set in one easy download (also known as a zip file). Instead, I had to manually go to every picture, right click – save picture, then next for every picture in the set. This was very time consuming, and when I was about to start a new job, time wasn’t something I particularly had a lot of. This is the biggest downside to the subscription model, and has put me off a couple of sites because of it. Wambabes is by no means alone in this problem.
Overall, this is a site I would absolutely recommend. It has a home spun feel to the shoots, which does mean quality can slip on occasion, but also provides for some great scenes.
Favourite Scene: Again, there are so many that I could easily list 10-20 scenes here. However there is one that stands out, one I remember from the freebie days. The one is “Liz in yellow batter”. I’ll never forget the smile she had one her face a she sat there, the yellow gunge dripping off her.
Would I go back: You may have spotted the question mark above in the dates. At first, my thoughts with wambabes was that I may return after a while, once there were enough scenes to make my £10 worth it. That all changed recently, in one innocent UMD post. There’s a youtube contributor who goes by omgitskelsey31, who has posted many slime videos. After she decided she wanted to be a wam model, it appears Ariel was the lucky girl who got her for wambabes. So it’s not a case of if I’ll go back, it’s a when. When I’m sure all of her videos are up, then I’ll resubscribe to get them. I suspect this will probably be around November/December time, but at the moment, it’s a waiting game.
wetandmessy (Sub) (Feb 12 + May 13)
So, having got over my reluctance to spend money on WAM, I looked at a site I had previously had my eye on. There wasn’t any particular reason why I decided to subscribe, but I did. You may have noticed the date looks familiar. I subscribed while still in the picture saving mode of wambabes. Having two sites of saving every picture in a photoset was not fun at all. However what I got was worth it.
This site is has studio based wam, with every set in HD (which as far as I’m concerned means fills the screen). Every set also features at least topless babes, and full nudity in many cases, with little attempt to conceal it. There are attempts at sketches, as well as sultry sets. There is plenty of variety of how the mess is delivered, including lots of my favourite delivery: poured from above, like a gungetank. It also helps that all the babes are hot models, the type that wouldn’t be out of place in mens magazines.
So I finished the month, managing to gather most of the sets, and was very satisfied. However I did keep looking when a new set would be advertised, and there were so many tempting sets. I had in my mind that there should be plenty of updates to make my money worth it. I eventually succumbed to resubscribing mid-may 2013, again for no particular reason. There were around 30 updates in the 15 months separating my two subscriptions, so I did get a decent amount, and this time I wasn’t so pushed for time collecting every update. So I was happy with the purchase.
Favourite Scene: Well, amongst all the scenes and all the mess on this site, the one I keep going back to is “Wet Paint Slime”. The plot is basic, the sliming is simple, and the results are stunning. Two waves of green slime, one clothed, one topless, one sexy slimy babe is the result. Simple but very effective.
Would I go back: I went back once, I will probably go back again. As long as there are scenes that would extice me, and plenty of them, yes, I’ll probably go back.
dirtymuse (Sub) (Mar 12)
After both of the subscriptions had finished, I was fairly satisfied. Then there was an advert for dirtymuse, saying how they’d reached over 50 HD movies, and they’d knocked $10 off the monthly price. Great, let’s give it a shot. I went for what I believe is my most expensive per month cost (although not overall or per scene). It was also unusual that a “month” subscription followed the calender month, not from when you first subscribe. This didn’t matter too much, I subscribed early in the month, but it was worth bearing note that I had to be clever about when I subscribed. It also didn’t have recurring membership, so I didn’t have to remember to cancel before the month was over.
One thing I discovered was there were no picture sets. A shame really, since I’d grown fond of picture sets at this point (They have no sound, so can be used at any time, and they are much easier to go at your own pace with). However the videos were stunning HD, were fairly long and full of mess. Another flaw is that every file downloaded is password protected. Understandable from the perspective of copy protection, but it is a pain to have to get the password from a list that I copied just to watch the video that I downloaded.
Dirtymuse is primarily a mud site, although there are other messy stuff in there too. This didn’t bother me too much, since it was quality stuff, and it’s not like the previous two sites had no mud. I would say mud scenes have a tendacy to be quite slow at getting to the messy climax points (like the moment the gunge first hits someone, or they have the first facial coverage), but usually total coverage is assured.
Something else that Dirtymuse has is xxx porn. Now I’ll admit, I have watched porn videos before, in fact there was one I discovered through the umd that had a woman covered in mud, so this didn’t put me off. The XXX videos were neither here nor there for me, but it’s worth mentioning that they’re there, especially if you’re into that sort of thing.
Overall, I would say that while the quality is excellent, the videos do come across a little samey to me. Girl gets in mud, girl make butt gestures to mud, girl rolls in mud, girl covered in mud. There’s a little bit more to it than that, but you get the gist. I would still recommend them though, I certainly enjoy the videos, although they aren’t particularly on my “go to” list when watching videos.
Favourite Scene: You know, I can’t really pick a favourite here. There’s no scene that makes me think, I want to watch you over and over, they all blend together in some way. Good stuff, but nothing stands out.
Would I go back: In some ways, I’m not particularly looking to go back. The price has gone back up, and it wasn’t exactly that cheap to begin with. However I was left with an incomplete set (they were put up in four parts, I have 2), and there have been many models that I quite like seeing getting messy, so never say never.
thatsunfairtv (DL) (Mar 12)
Late March, thatsunfairtv had a sale, where every video was priced at $1.00. So I gave them a try and bought some videos.
This site prided itself on being “real”, where no one was a model, and the reactions were those of ordinary girls. The slime was seen as a punishment for a quiz show (sort of like how it was on TV back in the day), and it was clear the girls weren’t fans of the slime. It also happened in regular places, like in a supermarket, or a restaurant, rather than a studio. On top of the regular stuff, the site did have what appears to be orphaned videos, like Slimedsusan.
In my personal opinion, the videos were simply alright. They weren’t brilliant, even the “slimedsusan” ones, and I don’t particularly watch them over and over, like I do with other videos. The humour didn’t particularly appeal to me, maybe since I was purchasing these videos for something other than what they were best for. Maybe I’d also been spoilt by the other sites, but I wasn’t particularly fond of the “real” reactions either. While I can enjoy the dislike reaction, I do prefer the sexy reaction.
Favourite Scene: I don’t really have one
Would I go back: Ignoring the fact the site struck the wrong chord, I can’t quite seem to find the site, so I don’t think I could go back even if I wanted to.
foxymud (Sub) (Apr 12)
The next site I went for is the french mud site, foxymud. To be honest, it didn’t quite register in my mind that it was a french website when I was signing up. Not that it matters, the site was in English, and I wasn’t exactly paying attention to what language they were speaking. There were two foxy sites, but I only went for the mud one, there was more content there, and I had seen enough previews to know what it was about.
The site was professionally done, with HD photos and videos on offer. The models were hot, and they knew how to pull off sexy. Most went full coverage in the mud, and weren’t afraid to take their clothes off. It’s an pretty good site, although I would hesitate to call it excellent in my opinion. Maybe it’s because I find a lot of mud sets to be similar, or because my original fetish is based off gunge, I don’t really know, but as good as the site is, it’s not brilliant.
I should note that I don’t particularly view my foxymud collection that often. In fact when it came to saving space on my computer (keeping some stuff on my bigger external hardrive only), the videos for foxymud were some of what was removed.
Favourite Scene: There was one scene (I forget which, and I don’t have the video on hand to find out which one) where the model crawled towards the camera, naked, covered in mud (on her body), hair swinging wildly. That’s one I can remember in this moment.
Would I go back: The answer was a probably not beforehand, especially since I don’t keep the videos within easy reach anymore. However having seen how few updates there’s been in a year, I’ll probably never go back now.
messyworld (Sub) (May 12)
There is one thing that originally drew me into the world of WAM, that kickstarted my love of gunge. That thing is the humble gunge tank. Out of all the sites I have got picture sets or videos from, messyworld is the only one which tries to replicate the gunge tank (admittedly, there are other sites out there with gunge tanks, messyworld is the only one I’ve gone to so far). It’s also the only site that displayed an English (Pound sterling) price on the front page, even other british sites display their prices in American Dollars.
Messyworld is quite a quaint site. It’s not HD (although that appears to be changing), there’s no nudity, with the “models” appearing to be more like friends invited to take part in the site. The pictures look more like screengrabs from the videos, and there’s rather a lot of them, so much so that if you keep the right pace on flicking through the pictures, they can appear like videos. The videos are mostly split into parts, each very short (about 2-3min), which can get annoying when watching. The “gunge tank” is in reality someone pouring the gunge from above the alcove, rather than a mechanised system. The end result is not one of quality, but still there is a charm about it.
The gungings are pretty good. There’s usually 3-4 waves of gunge, and the girls aren’t afraid to look into the gunge or anything. They tend to stick to gunge, not venturing into more foodstuffs so much. Not much more can be said on the subject though.
As well as the main site, the people behind messyworld have sister sites, most of which consist of male wam. There was one that turned the tables, where the model “gunged” you. I did buy one of these off the umd store, and it wasn’t too bad. It’s not a bad concept, making the woman have the power over you, but truthfully, there is a nagging feeling with the video that it was a waste of gunge. I suppose it requires a little more imagination to truly work, but a nice attempt.
Favourite scene: Hmm, there’s a couple that I occasionally go back to, usually containing the model Hannah. I wouldn’t particularly call it favourite, but I do rewatch it time and again.
Would I go back: Possibly, I have looked back at the site on occasion and seen new scenes that I want. However updates are thin, and there’s not really enough content for me to want to go back. I may go back in a few years, but not any time soon I would imagine.
Wetandmessyfetishgirls / Wamfetishgirls (Sub) (Jul/Aug 12)
Ah yes, the forgotten site.
The site was celebrating some anniversary or something, and offered 3 months for the price of 1 month. Not a bad deal, plenty of time to download all the scenes I want. Except I accidently joined too late (at least I think that’s what’s to blame), so a month later I found my card rebilling, and I had slipped into a second month. Oops. I canceled imediately, but the damage was done.
I couldn’t really say the content was particularly worth it either. You may have realised that I’m mostly into pure sliming, like a gunge tank (ala NHP), or a gunk dunk (ala GYOB). These sites contained slime sometimes, but most of their sets had less mess, less thick slime, they just didn’t hit the spot. Maybe I’m spoilt by other sites that do cater more my likes, but this wasn’t what I wanted.
But that’s not the end of the story. Remember how I mentioned “The Great Crash of October”? After getting my laptop back up and working, and transferring everything from my external backup back to my laptop, I found that what stuff I had downloaded from these sites were missing. My own fault of course, I should have backed it up, but it was annoying, the extra money spent, and I didn’t have what I’d paid for.
Favourite Scene: I don’t have the downloads anymore, I’ve long forgotten what scenes I did have.
Would I go back: No. Simple answer. I never complained about the original extra months mistake, and I never cared for the videos. I see what happened as a sign for the site, and like to treat it as the casualty of the crash.
Messy Jessie (DL) (Jul 12)
This was another of those “All clips at $1″ sales, although since Jessie is English, make that “All clips at £1″. So I bought some clips and liked what I got.
I’m sure I can tell you something different about this site, but the truth is, this site is to Messy Jessie like Wambabes is to Ariel. A site where she is the star and feature in most (if not all) scenes, but has a few friends to help her out. This ain’t a bad thing, Messy Jessie is hot, but I can’t really say anything of why this site over others.
The clips I did get were pretty good. There was a good mix of willing volunteer, and nervous victim (and that’s just from the clips I chose). The videos are small (3-4 mins each), which isn’t necessarily a bad thing, since the file size is also reasonable, and the video finishes before I get bored of it. There’s also a variety of mess, which I’m less fond of, and I didn’t find too many pure slime videos. Still, a very good site that does what it does well.
Favourite Scene: Maybe it’s a nasty streak in me, but there was one where the victim was clearly uncomfortable (although not so uncomfortable to stop) with the gunge. In a world of WAM videos that are either loving it, fake-hating it, or swearing their head off, a squirmer is a break from the norm.
Would I go back: You know, I’ve considered getting the subsription, but there’s always been another site taking my interest away, and with my hard drive close to capacity, I don’t think I’ll be going for it any time soon.
Lots of Mud / Proper Messy (Mostwam) (Sub) (Sep 12 – Mar 13)
Now to an old time favourite. The Mostwam sites have been advertised on various sites for many a year, and when I was unable to afford wam (or had no card/parents computer/etc.), the free pictures Leon used to provide used to be a highlight. So they were always on my mind from an early point of WAM buying. Unfortunately the only subcription is 6 months, which considering I am by no means alone in the “one month jump on”, makes sense financally. However it did mean I avoided the site initially.
What changed my mind? Not really sure to be honest. It might have been Leon pointing out on a forum the value of his material (works out about $1 an update), but more likely was the fact the pictures were in a zip file. After many sites of having to manually save every picture in a set, downloading them all in one neat package is quite amazing. I decided to go for both the Proper messy (which is full of gunge sets), as well as Lots of mud (self explanatory). This cost about £60, which had two sites, with a year’s backlogue each, and 6 more months to come. Expensive in terms of in one go, particularly compared to sites with full backlogues, but still reasonable value.
One thing that Mostwam is excellent for is updates. Every Monday without fail, Propermessy had a new update. Every Friday without fail, Lotsofmud had a new update.This does mean that the rate that the backlogue disappears is constant as well, so if I haven’t got the last one on the list, it’ll be gone by the respective year date.
I was at a stage of filling my harddrive. Therefore at first, I didn’t particularly download the videos, and concentrated only on the pictures. Having said that, even with the picture sets alone, with roughly 18 months of two sites at an update a week, that takes up around 31GB, which isn’t insignificant.In fact while I didn’t get every video, the ones I did get are stored away one my external harddrive, freeing up space on my laptop.
Moving on to the content, these sites have some annoying habits. Firstly, there are so many pictures that flicking through them feels like a movie, rather than carefully selected shots which are each quite artistic. Also every scene starts with lots of clean pictures, and ends with a wash up. I prefer to see scenes end with the girl all messy. The site is also PG. This means no nudity at all. The site would suffer if it broke from this, and it fits its niche of PG wam very well, so I wouldn’t change that.
The gunge is just how I like it, thick and slimy. Also the girls get completely covered in gunge, especially in the gunge bath sets, while the other substances used do provide variety. The mud scenes are a little bit more disappointing though. While still pretty good, they all have the same formula: Here’s this girl, dressed in this outfit. Slide into the mud, slowly gettign down to roll in it, before wiping the face with mud. There’s never any faceplants, it doesn’t feel like the girls are trying to get utterly covered. Maybe it suffers from the lack of nudity, where seeing a clothed girl remove a muddy top to show the bare skin underneath is something that works well for me. The best mud scenes are the multi girl ones , but they aren’t that common.
However what you get is an incredible ammount of messy scenes, And there is enough there to keep someone very satisfied. I can speak from experience since I haven’t gone through every scene I downloaded yet.
Favourite Scene: The was a scene that had two new girls, a bath of gunge, as well as some more above them. The result is one of the most fun filled scenes I’ve seen, with two girls just having fun, splashing each other with gunge.
Would I go back: I’m thinking yes, but there’s a few things to consider before then. Firstly, I’m going to get value, so I won’t go back this side of Christmas. Secondly, I have to consider what memory I’ll have spare when it comes to downloading all picture sets and videos I want.
WTFdownloads (DL) (Dec 12 + May 13)
Of course, while I had the mostwam sites to keep providing stuff, I wasn’t going to miss other opportunities should they arise. So when WTF changed their system to a “pay what you want” deal, I instantly took a look.
I’ll always remember WTF as the place I first saw the A-Z clip done. I hadn’t actually watched it when I wrote the story that can be found in my story archive, but it was a clip that appealed should it ever get cheap enough.
I’m also no stranger to “pay what you want” deals. I regularly visit the Humble Indie Bundle, and have many great games because of said deal. They operate a with a “beat the average” policy, where paying more than average nets you more stuff, thus there’s more incentive to pay more than a penny.
WTF had two things to try and gain more money. Firstly, if you paid more than $5, he would give a previously unreleased audition clip, with 6 to collect. The second worked on a guilt based system, basically implying that if you didn’t pay a reasonable amount, no more clips would be made. I think that maybe got me more than it should have, since despite my desire to save money, I didn’t pay just a penny per clip. The first time round, I got 5 clips, each priced at $2. This I felt was a fair compromise between getting cheap videos, and providing a fair amount to the producer. The second time round, I got three videos, and paid $5 each, so I could get some of the audition tapes (and as it happened, the one I wanted was the third one given).
With the exception of the A-Z clips, I wouldn’t say the content is much to write home about. The girls get very messy, and they do appear to be enjoying themselves very much. It doesn’t quite make me think wow though, there is a little bit of a meh feeling. The A-Z clips are of a different league however. The sheer amount of mess on offer is extraordinary, with lots of different stuff on offer from Amrosia custard pies to Gunge to Porridge to Zoo Mess. And of course, for about 20 minutes, it feels like the mess isn’t going to stop. The end result of the mess is one completely obliterated girl. Magical stuff.
Favourite Scene: In case it isn’t obvious, it’s an A-Z clip. In particular the one done by Bubbles. When I first saw the preview pictures, Bubbles reminded me of a certain Hayley Williams, and this was at a time when Paramore were among my favourite bands (something that has cooled off since the Farro brothers left). Effectively, I can almost imagine that this is Hayley Williams getting the gunging of her life.
Would I go back: On the one hand, there’s no particular reason not to go back. There will always be value in whatever scene I pick to download. On the other hand, there’s scenes I don’t yet have, and if he was to ever do another A-Z video, I would happily buy that up.
MessyAngel (Sub) (Jan 13)
Here’s another site I joined, adding to the collection of sites. Like other sites, there was no particular reason for joing, but join I did. There’s nothing that makes the site particularly special, I just saw an update, thought ‘why not’, and just went for it.
Messy Angel is a bit of an artifact title. The site was set up by the eponymous Messy Angel, who I think came from Bound2bMessy. However by the time I came to the site, there was very little of her presence left. The best way to describe the site in its current form is Miss T’s site (Her of gungegirls fame). There are plenty of ladies, and Miss T appears in most videos as the one gunging them. Another thing to note is that there aren’t any picture sets, it’s videos only.
While I enjoyed some of the videos, I found quite a few videos had a little too much emphasis on the girls “enjoying” themselves. It feels less about the mess, and more about what they are doing in the mess. However the “straight” scenes are great to watch, and feature some girls doing more risque stuff than they are on other sites, even if its not too risque.
Favourite Scene: I’ll go with Charley Webb in Club Chocolate. It’s simple in nature, just a naked Charley getting covered in Chocolate, and thet’s just the way I like it.
Would I go back: I don’t think so. There’s some scenes that do work for me, but the general feel is one of a little too much focus on the wrong thing.
Gungetankbabes (DL) (Nov 12 + Apr 13)
Sorry this appears out of order to the rest of the stuff, but I checked my receipts (on umd) and found I should have reviewed this site earlier on the list.
I had seen gungetankbabes come from the wetlook side of water dunkings to adding gunge to their dunk tank. This created a bit of a fanboy situation, a producer that did what GYOB did back in the day. The end result was good, but it was not quite up to that holy grail standard that is GYOB.
The first time I went for a download, with a 50% saving, I got the four clay videos on offer. This had two girls on the dunk tank, which had been filled with clay. They were good scenes, with the girls having just the right amount of nervous but up for it about them. They both got dunked numerous times, and went topless after a few times in the pool. The clay splattered over them well, getting them well covered. The only disappointment was neither girl went completely under, and their faces remained mostly clean. Maybe the clay wasn’t that safe, maybe the models weren’t that adventurous. I don’t know. but that would have made it perfect in my eyes.
When I was buying the foxymistress video described above in messyworld, I needed some other videos to take me over the $5 limit. The ones I chose were from gungetankbabes, which were still 50% off (which was probably a separate sale to before). I got a couple of videos which featured some thicker gunge, including some thick red gunge that was poured on top after the dunking. One of them also featured to hostess, Little Hayley, getting on the seat and getting dunked, something always fun to watch as the power is shifted from dunker to dunkee.
Interestingly, this was the first time I’d dealt with the UMD store, including mixing the producers in a single purchase. I was used to the short timeframe allowed for download, and whenever I buy something, I do download it straight away. It does worry me that if I was to ever have another hraddrive crash before a backup, I wouldn’t be able to get my videos back, but I suppose it makes sense from a copy protection point of view. The ability to mix and match between producers is useful though, especially when buying single videos from one producer (like foxymistress) and filling up the rest with other stuff (like gungetankbabes) is incredibly useful.
Favourite Scene: One girl in clay is great. Two girls topless in clay is brilliant. So my vote goes to Michaela and Claire dunked in Clay.
Would I go back: Maybe, it’s certainly not a quality issue I’d have, but it’d have to be the right video at the right price.
MessyDreams (DL) (Jan 13)
Firstly, you may notice that Messydreams appears twice. That’s because I bought some invidual videos on the download store, and then I would late go on to subscribe to the website, although that was part of a deal with gungegirls, and so I’ve grouped them together as one. I’ll explain more later.
Like most download stores I’ve visited, there was a sale on, this one being 50% off (so the receipt reliably informs me). There was also a “buy four, get one free” deal on at the same time, so naturally, I got 5 videos. Interestingly, none of the 5 videos were available when I would later subscribed to the site, so alls good there.
Also of interest, the 5 videos weren’t originally from messydreams (or they might have been, I’m not particular to the going ons behind the scenes of that mess). Instead they were all from wamdreams. This doesn’t bother me as a customer, stuff gets aquired over time, it just interesting that instead of getting something that messydreams would prefer to produce, I end up with the stuff of a once competitor. Still, I’ll describe things further in the next section.
Gungegirls / Messydreams (Jun/Jul)
After all the other sites I’ve been through, I come to the one I am currently subscribed to at the time of writing. Gungegirls is one of the first sites I remember to do with gunge. I remember it showing up in one of the early searches, although I don’t remember much else about it. I can also say that the owner (who goes by Noise on UMD) is one of the most vocal members of the community, so it’s fairly easy to see what’s going on with the site. I finally decided to subscribe late last month, due to an update that ironically for the “No nudity on gungegirls”, featured the girl stripping to naked. When I signed up, there was a little offer noted at the bottom, where I could sign up to messydreams as well for less. Bargain I thought. So I went for it.
I’ll talk about messydreams first, seeing as I’ve already started on that front. There’s a large number of videos available for download, somewhere around 60, which come from a few sites associated with Noise. As well as stuff that messydreams has produced, there’s also Wamdreams, Pietargets, Wamwarehouse and a couple of tasters, including one for wtfdownloads. To be honest, I was actually surprised how many updates there were, especially since Noise is very vocal about his 30 updates, with the last update being deleted as the new one goes up.
All the videos look great, professionally done and in HD. The mess goes two ways though. On some videos, the mess looks more like a free for all, lots of different stuff and such, which doesn’t really appeal to me so much. On the other side, there are plenty of videos, particularly ones not of messydreams origin, where what you get is mostly pies and slime, and I really like those videos. I wouldn’t say the quality is necessarily the best, but it’s certainly better than some I’ve seen in my time.
On to gungegirls then. The first thing to note is there were many classic videos on top of the more recent videos. Many of these classic sets also had an accompanying image set, which I found quite nice. Of course, the classics also included some of the sets I remember being advertised the first time round, so it was nice to actually get to see some of them. Moving on to the modern sets, most of them are just what I want, gunge simply being poured over girls. It may not be up to the quality of some other sites I’ve seen, but it’s still quite good for what it is. The may also be a little too much reliance on custard corner, which may be easy to produce, but doesn’t particularly excite after seeing a few of them.
Overall, I’d say the two sites together was great value, even if there isn’t a wow factor to any of the videos. Great nostalgia maybe, but there’s nothing that makes me think I want to come back, it’s just there.
Favourite Scene: There’s a variety of scenes that I liked, but seeing a young Naomi K in a gunge tank (even if she never actually got gunged, Lauren did) was a highlight.
Would I go back: I think the answer will be no. Neither site offered anything that makes me think wow, maybe that’s because of desentisation, but when I’m closing in on filling my Harddrive back up again, there are other sites that I would rather revisit, or even try for the first time, than go back to Gungegirls.

Other Websites
I might as well write a little something on the sites I haven’t used for whatever reason, but would consider if the situation was right.
The site of Big Dave, closely associated with the Moomins of Mostwam and Gunjee, this site features one of my favourite gunging devices, the gunge tank. More notably, it’s not just any gunge tank, but the very gunge tank used by Noel Edmonds on his roadshow in the 1980s. They usually play a game, and one of the girls goes into the tank and gets gunged. Pretty simple right.
There’s also a few other sites which I’ll stick under the “Big Dave/Moomins” Banner, such as Topgunge, YCDTOTI, Just Slimed, etc. Everything I’ve seen from these guys is excellent, both in quality and in appealing to my tastes. Unfortunately, I am on a budget, one which I can’t really make bigger in the need for real world things. None of these sites ever do sales either, so in a way, the lotsofmud and propermessy sites I did sign up to only worked due to the value that can be extracted from subscription sites, and may be the only thing I ever get from these guys, which is a shame, but a fact of life. If money was not an issue, I would happily download from all these sites (then again, if money was no object, I’d make my own stuff, that’s why money will forever remain the major issue in purchasing wam). Nothing against these guys, it’s their business, they have to make money from it.
The site of Jilly and Jayce, of Wambabes fame, these two girls have lots of fun doing what they love. There have been a few scenes on there that make me think I want, including one with a mysterious substance, and a new scene with new Wambabe, Laur (omgitskelsey31). I am very much regretting not buying a few scenes in a recent sale, but I’ll wait for another one, hopefully with plenty of other great videos to get.
A subscription site, very much in the vein of wetandmessy.com. To be honest, I don’t really have a good reason why I haven’t signed up for a month, especially when there’s over 500 sets available (going by the updates page). I think it comes down to 3 things:
- There aren’t too many pure slimings on show (they may exist, but they aren’t obvious), and there may be too much emphasis on the girl over the slime.
- I don’t know for sure, but I’m quite sure that I would have to download all the pictures individually, something that is very time consuming, especially with that many sets to go through.
- I no longer have the hard drive space to spare for such a large library.
The truth is, once I solve problem number 3, I will probably give messygirl a go, but I couldn’t really say when that would be.
Although they’re two different producers, I’ve grouped them since what I’ll say about one will probably hold true for the other. Both are american producers who have been around since before I first started looking, and both provide simple slimings, which works for me.
Filthy Rich of Slapstickstuff did an interview with Tellygunge, so he could tell you about what he does, and why you should go for his site. For me though, as much as I’d to buy from either of these sites, the key problem of price remains the same, and I wouldn’t expect anything to change.
Another download site that looks great, but doesn’t offer the value I’m after, this site has some wetlook and girls in mud. Every time I see the preview pictures posted, I think the mud looks stunning, but I’m not going to break the bank for something like that.
Club MPV has a few things to talk about. Firstly, this month they offered a free DVD length download showcasing some of what they offer (it was free, so I technically haven’t bought anything, even though I store this with my other purchases. So from the perspective of the free DVD, I can say I am interested in what they do. They cater for mud scenes, particularly quicksand scenes of the girls sinking below the surface. They also have many of the “top” names (by top I mean they’ve appeared regularly on other sites, like wetandmessy or dirtymuse), which appeals to no end.
How the site works is a little confusing. A DVD can be purchased containing 5-6 scenes (or in my case as a Brit, I can download the DVD file), but since this would go against my value hunting, I probably wouldn’t do this. Then there is the subscribers’ section. Inside they have an unlimited image archive, and a “pay-per-scene” area. the pay-per-scene section works by buying tokens, of which 5 are given free every month you’re subscribed, with scenes costing anything between 2 and 12 tokens (Latest HD scenes are 12 tokens). The download store is of little interest, particularly since there doesn’t look to be value in it, but the image archive looks really exciting. There’s hundreds of sets, each with a decent amount of pictures to complate the set. This may be even better in the current moment of time, where my hard drive is close to filling. I’ll be honest, I wouldn’t be surprised if I sign up before too long.
.
I don’t know what I’ll end up going for next. I suspect it’ll be Club MPV, although if House Of Mess or another site had a sale, I would probably see myself taking advantage. Of course, I have lots of videos to watch, so I wouldn’t need to sign up for anything to get new stuff if I didn’t want to. Of course there’s also the much cheaper WAM activities to keep me going, such as the GGP, and writing stories.
.
And that concludes my journey through producer WAM. I hope you enjoyed reading it, especially if you’ve stuck through that long post/essay (the word count tells me this post is roughly 8000 words long). I don’t want you to take this as why you should pick one site over another, but rather my opinions and experiences of paying for this stuff. I also can’t speak for your preferences, only mine of slime (like NHP gunge, or GYOB) poured over the head, or smooth mud. While I will deviate from this pattern, my preferences affect my opinion, and that may not reflect your preferences.
To any producer reading this: I do love the work you’re doing, and even where I’ve said I wasn’t too impressed, I still signed up / downloaded the scene because i wanted to. it’s a shame I don’t have the money, both to support the community, and to get some of those scenes currently outside my price range. I know my current spending “tactics” are looked down upon, although I know I’m not the only one who uses such tactics, and as a consumer, value is a large consideration in making a purchase (like anything I buy). I will hopefully continue to buy stuff while my finances and hard drive allow.
Thank you for reading, and letting me indulge in a walk down memory lane. I shall now return you to your regular Tellygunge material.
