| Pros: |
- Site has ton of pictures, tons of models
- New series are updated daily, at least 7 per day
- wide variety of models in terms of size, shape, age
- Site features work of some outstanding photographers (others not so good - see cons)
- specializes in featuring girl-next-door natural models.
- Not loaded with jaded strippers or porn stars
- Many (not all) sets are well shot, with plenty of explicit spread shots. Not for shy people.
- Very high quality jpgs.
- Site tries to supply videos of models with mixed success
- Considering the size of the database, searching is pretty darn good.
- Rating system is crude, but can show some general trends of what is hot and what is not. |
| Cons: |
- New male/female sex videos detract from the site that was great for featuring solo, amateur models. Site is starting to take on a cheap porno feel.
- Too many recycled models. Most models have 10 sets, but lately they have used some models for upwards of > 40 sets. How many different nude sets of one model do you need?
- Increasing lack of American Girl-Next-Door models. This is very disappointing
- Too many Eastern European aspiring porn stars. The exception is work by Sean R. who features an interesting variety of girls from Great Britain.
- Lots of butch lesbians
- Too many of the photographers are unable or unwilling to get good spread crotch and spread ass shots. General lack of good bent over ass and pussy close ups. You can tell the bad ones by the ratings. There are trends.
- They "expire" model sets older than 4 years and recycle these on the ATK Archives site which cost you double if you want to see both.
- No user forum for comments and feedback. |
| Bottom Line: |
I have subscribed since 2001. It is an outstanding site. It could be better, but it is way above it's peers. I am a little disappointed by the lack of new models and the increasing number of recycled models. Some models have over 40 sets and this really is overkill at the expense of them not providing new models. Also, they have less and less American models. I wonder why?
There is a huge range in photographer ability. Some are great at capturing graphic close-up spread shots and ass shots, others are not so good and should be shooting for R-rated Playboy mags. I do not find the new "Action" sets and videos interesting. I can rent cheap porn down the street. They need to concentrate on hairy, girl next door models. The few action shots they provide feature lots of fake cum shots which is pretty lame if you ask me. I'd estimate that 80% of the cum shots in the still sets are staged with lotion. Quite lame for a site that claims it is all about being real and no airbrushing, fake tits, etc.
Site speed and downloading of zips has steadily improved over the years, as has the quality of the jpg files. There is downtime, but I'd guess they are up >95% and fix errors quick. |

| Pros: |
-Discount through a link on TBP news from webmasters. TBP should be getting a link sometime soon.
-Very big site. See below.
-Bill through CCBill.
-No download limits, DRM, or other problems with the site functioning properly.
-Easy to use search function, essential for a site of this size.
-Nice variety of model types, with varying ages, ethnicities, and sizes. |
| Cons: |
-Far too many models that are plain and unattractive. I see several others made the same criticism. See comments by Drooler and TheRizzo. The review by Capn complains about the older models.
-Although true to the niche of hairy, it includes many who don't shave their legs or under their arms. You can easily download a video of one of these and find out only as you watch it. The reason is that the preview function is not very helpful. This is also a problem regarding tattoos.
-Too many tattoos. The site bills itself as natural, but they mean real breasts. I consider tattoos unnatural.
-MANY videos are too blabby. Too much emphasis on interviews at the expense of the visuals.
-Far too many are old videos that are in low quality clips only. Even the newer videos are not very watchable on an HD television. |
| Bottom Line: |
I see the other reviews focus mostly on the photos. While these are plentiful, I am much more into videos. My perspective is a bit different.
The first thing I noticed is that the site statistics vary from what is listed on TBP. The site says there are 1,300 models-TBP states 2,600. The site states 800,000 images but TBP states 1,600,000. In both cases TBP lists double what the site states on the preview page. I cannot truly verify the number as the site is VERY big and not that easy to navigate. In any case the true numbers are extremely big.
However, it is not as big as you may think. If you eliminate the simply unnattractive, the overly bushy, they call them hairy scary, the ones that are excessively blabby, and all the older videos that are available as only unacceptable, low quality clips, then you get maybe 100 to 150 models. That is not a bad number, but that means you have to do a lot of work to find them.
When I took a good look at what they have on these models, I felt the videos were not of 2009 quality. While advertised as 640x480 and over 2600kbps as their best quality, I find them very blurry and unwatchable on my HD television. Statistics make for nice reading, but the truth is that the site is just too far behind the times.
Without a major upgrade to the older material, all of it is useless. The site has been around since 1998, so at least half, if not more, of the site is unwatchably poor quality. The newer material, while quite better, is still not what I look for. What a disappointment.
If you like photos, the quantity is there for you. If you are mostly into videos as I am, not recommended. |

| Pros: |
Frequent large updates.
Huge amount of material.
Vast model list.
Models vary from teens to grannies.
Quality in recent times is very good, but older stuff is of variable quality.
Probably the best Hairy niche site.
Full photoset zip downloads. |
| Cons: |
Some models are excessively 'mature.'
Well preserved ladies are fine by me, but some of their mature models are well past their sell by date! :0/
Whilst I love a really hairy minge, I find excessive leg & armpit hair a bit gross.
It is a shame that the membership doesn't include any preferential discounts for any of ATKs other sites.
Of late the photosets have tended to be much larger, with a lot of near identical shots.
I wish they would allow for a user selected custom zip. I have suggested it, but never received any reply. |
| Bottom Line: |
There are no pretentions that this is an unbiased review. My own preferences have always seemed to be very niche! Have a look at my profile to see what they are! ;0)
I have not made comments re video, because I seldom bother with them so it would not be fair to pass comment.
Whilst the pricing isn't bargain basement, on balance it represents good value for money IMO. |

| Pros: |
#overall a solid good photo archive; out of all photo archives I have seen over the past year - the ATK Natural and Hairy archive won me over- it took the air out my lungs; and made me into a slut; looking through archives at cute, beautiful, smart women for hours.
#beautiful girls; includes attractive 30-40 yr olds; and well as the young and hairy; and scary hairy.
# raunch and rude style photosets: booty hiked up in the air in your face- skirt pulled up high; panties pulled up real tight. Relentless in-your-face raunch- pic after pic; legs spread wide; legs pinned behind ears. Its Quite different from glamour sites. Sets go on well into the 200- 300 pic range; others are less than that. 90- 160.
#raunch is shown by skirts and stretch pants with lint on them; panties that show wear and have stains on them- even skid marks.
#yet other models are very clean; with cute clean outfits and spot free panties and outfits.
#well balanced, exotics, mature, young, softcore, and hardcore |
| Cons: |
#Wives and Girlfriends section should either be dropped or replaced - not a full section
#1024 x 684 mic in older parts of the site (sets made in 2006)
#navigation doesn't allow for key words, slowing down navigation for movies and sets.
#same panties are worn in multiple sets
# good resolution for a volume site- but not great. Other sites offer much larger pics.
# movies are hard to navigate.
#hardcore sets just begun; small section right now.
#you have to like hair; most are crotch hair; but some sets have hair on legs as well. |
| Bottom Line: |
I was overcome by the power of beauty of ATK Natural and Hairy. This site is for you if you like bold; rather rude and crude poses. This is definately not a glamour site; or an art site. You get booties hiked up in your face; panties pulled up tight and in your face; legs spread wide; and even balance between softcore and hardcore.
the movies are not in Hd just WIndows at good but not great resolution.
Lola; 4,567 images, 20 updates; Sativa; Bianca; Snega.
Jasmine's sets made me blow my first wad. She has 8,693 pics; 40 updates; 5 vids.
The archives are deep. Young and Hairy; volumes 720- 1071. Scary Hairy; (18 -23yr old) vol 261 - 622; Hairy Lesbians; vol 32 - 56 (18-23);Hairy Fun 179- 291- masterbation; exotic and hairy vols 55-300
Like I said, ATK natural and Hairy offers just about everything good; mature, 18 -23 year olds; exotics; and lesbians; masterbation; vids are interviews; masterbation with fingers and toys. Overall, the vids would be better if I could find them better. No search boxes; just drop boxes.
Gallery lovers of softcore and hardcore will like this site. Mature galleries offer attractive women- different women will appeal to different people. Movie lovers will like this site- only if they can find them- have to look for them. |

| Pros: |
Been a member of this site for a couple of years now and would agree with The Bishop's comments below. Sean R's sets are the real heart of the site, awesome close-up hairy pussy, and recently a far higher percentage of the photo sets seem to be by him.
It's been hi-res for the last year or so, and recently they've added some hard-core sets which aren't and may well be copied from another of their sites.
7-8 photosets and a couple of videos every day is a pretty good update frequency. |
| Cons: |
Videos aren't great.
New hard core sets are low-res and cum shots are always on the stomach - what's with that all the time!?
Quite a few of the photographers besides Sean R seem to miss the point that's it a hairy pussy site so the models are still dressed three quarters of the way through the set.
Sets are divided in to galleries between which there don't seem to be much difference: Young and Hairy, Scary Hairy etc it's all girls in the 20-30 range with hairy pussies! |
| Bottom Line: |
I'm really splitting hairs ( sorry, couldn't resist!) on the Cons above, it's still by far the best site around for hairy pussy fans especially if you aren't overly interested in video or hard-core. |

| Pros: |
I've searched the web now and again looking for the natural look, and this site I always end up coming back to.Not all of the content is excellent of course, and not saying all the girls are supposed to enjoy doing this, but from all the content there are only really 2 photographers worth looking at. Well that is all I've discovered in this site. However don't let that put you off stuff by R Williams and Sean R are very good. R Williams stuff has great angles, and he does great close shots including 'up arse'. Hs sets are usually around the 70-80 mark, and are in the same locations. Wait till you get a load of Sean R though...He is now the photographer with the most images on the site, and generally speaking his stuff is very good, and best of all most sets are well over 200 images, with some outstanding sets with great angles. Also, aside from a few most of his content is clear. If only his sets included full bottom shots like R Williams, I love them as I'm an arse man :)
Single zips. |
| Cons: |
There is a lot of fuzzy stuff, I think mainly from Eastern Europe, and even if that wasn't a problem, the angles and the rest aren't up to it, when compared to Sean R/R Williams. Another note, some people are like me put off by hairy legs, but there are only a few of the models in this really scary hairy bracket, so not really a problem.
Their voting system is way to look at what other members consider 'hot' but I wish they had a forum (though they do respond to mails quickly) but would be nice to have a forum to request more posting of really good models. sometimes they just appear, which is a nice surprise but would be good if there was some interaction. |
| Bottom Line: |
Aside from the cons, thankfully most of the models I like, and best of all 10 sets seems to be the norm, with some of Sean Rs going to 20 and more! A lot have a glorious hairy bush, which I find so erotic..So what I’d say is: go for it, but plan the visit around a period when you don't have any commitments!! |

| Pros: |
Lots of great pics
Good selection, and like how you can search for what you want
Very good selection of Videos |
| Cons: |
No trial period |
| Bottom Line: |
If you like women with a bushy pussy then this site is for you! If that's your nic I think this site is top in that field. I would certainly recommend it. |

| Pros: |
Lots of attractive, hirsute models.
Daily updates containing new photo sets as well as video segments.
A way to rate the quality of a picture set as well as the "hotness" (or not) of a given model which is great when the photographer missed in his shoot and the set is rated low. This way one can always mollify the model by going to her page and give her a five (hot) if one loves the model but hates the present set.
Good search engine. |
| Cons: |
The quality of the picture sets is wildly uneven.
In today's (Sept. 29, '08) update, for instance, one set is way too dark, one has a bluish tinge throughout, and the one containing one of my favorites is way too saturated with color to be pleasing to the ordinary eye.
I find, in general, that lately the photographers don't show too much imagination and that many of their sets could be clones of one another. I've even seen the same set of underwear on three different models.
There is still no way to download a whole set of pictures with one zip file.
Videos are still ill-lit, lacking color and definition, of early 2000s quality and not up to 2008 standards and generally not worth downloading. A few of the more tolerable ones have a video-grapher who never shuts up, forcing one to watch them with the sound turned off. |
| Bottom Line: |
I'm currently on my second subscription (this time a 3 month one) to this site because first time around I was so delighted to find a "natural" (read hairy) site that it blinded me a bit to its shortcomings.
The models are beautiful, but they (the site) desperately need new photographers and new models, a few more mature ones wouldn't hurt and also find a way to treat the picture sets with Photoshop or similar program so the pics will look more natural before they present them to their subscribers.
I really find it appalling that nothing has been done to improve the quality of the videos since I subscribed the first time. I realize that this is primarily a soft core picture site but with the sets getting boring, proof: lower and lower marks by the viewers on many of the sets, it would have been nioe to have decent videos as alternatives.
This is another site that had great success initially and is now resting on its laurels by stubbornly sticking to an outdated formula.
I would still recommend it to hair lovers because sites like this are hard to find these days. I can't even recommend an alternative since the one site that could compete with ATK Natural And Hairy has material of even lesser quality.
Bottom line: ATK's Natural And Hairy leaves me more and more bored in connection with picture sets and videos that never seem to change. |

Was a member approx. 3 months prior to this review.

| Pros: |
excellent quality photos
many girls have that home-town look
scenes have a natural feel to them
fairly easy navigation throughout |
| Cons: |
some may find this not hardcore enough
there is a lot of conversation in some scenes
repetitious format at times |
| Bottom Line: |
This is just a delightful site. Besides being able to understand the women because they speak English, they make the viewer feel at ease.
This type of site is much needed. There is nothing phony here at all. |

| Pros: |
- Tons of content.
- True to the hairy niche. But see BL.
- Zips, but see cons.
- A few, but limited, video DL options.
- Good search function as with all ATK sites.
- Soft and hardcore content separated. This is an excellent advantage if, like me, you are sick of toys and/or masturbation stuff.
- Models run the gamut from 18 to nearly elderly, and from gorgeous to homely.
- Newer vids are offered in one big chunk rather than the standard 3 minute slices.
- Pics can be viewed in a variety of sizes. This is good for people with slow connections. |
| Cons: |
- Zipped sets broken into several bits. This is too much silliness and simply not worth the trouble.
- Pic size, on newer sets, seems to be app. 1000x1500 max. ATK has lagged in this area for a few years and it makes me wonder why.
- I would like to enable plain image links and have this work throughout my entire session without having to select that option for each set. This is an annoyance. |
| Bottom Line: |
I'm a huge fan of ATK and have been at the hairy site about four times, even though I'm not really into hair. As with all of this company's sites there is a spectacular amount of content on offer, and enlisting a long list of photographers keeps the material from devolving into a boring sameness which is the bane of a lot of other sites.
I have no problem with the "natural" niche at all, but this site borders on fetishism, as some of these models are so hairy they look simply preposterous. This being said they do keep the "scary hairy" models in a separate section.
I think the quality of the material needs to match the quantity of it at this point, but this is not happening.
The newest vid I downloaded (4/08) is 640x480, 1048 Kbps. It looks fine but not nearly as good as a great many other sites which are moving into HD. Some of the vids show higher bit rates - often significantly higher - but when played there is no significant increase in clarity or quality. I can't play the Quicktime vids (for some reason) but the file sizes for those are only a few megs larger than the WMV files, so I somehow doubt that the quality is much better.
As for pics, 1000x1500 is a good-sized pic but many sites are going much larger. The main strength here is the variety of photographers. Alexander B's material alone would be worth the price of admission. His sets are just stunning sometimes, even if the models aren't.
Recommended, but the quality could (should) be improved. |

*Newbie reviews and ratings don't count toward a site's overall score/rank until the user reaches the Rookie status level (5 points). This rule is needed to help prevent fake (or heavily biased) profiles and reviews.
