Palimas

It seems that anyone who has any degree of understanding of how to put a website together has created a tube. Well, everyone except us -- at least for now. Since they are so simple to put together, a lot of tubes remind us of some of the gutter porn sites which cropped up during the '90s. They may satisfy "the itch" but are cheap and can ultimately not be at all anything special. At least that is the case for most tubes that we review. Sometimes though, we find a website that surprises us with some neat gimmick or just plain good design. While not on the same level as a legendary tube like PornHub, Palimas TV is one of those which has a few things which make it better than most of its competitors.

Fresh Addition To The Fap Scene

Apparently, dating back to just 2016, this website has not seen any drastic changes since its inception, though it has gone through a few cosmetic facelifts. As we will see, this is actually a good thing since this website gets a lot of things right. What is most interesting about this site is where it comes from. According to their About Us page, Palimas TV is apart of a bigger network, including Neptunes Porn, WhatAPorn, Netfapx, and XXXVideos, which operates out of Estonia. That surprised us since our research found that the word palimas is Spanish for 'perfect porn.' And yes, we checked a few different sources – that is actually what that word means.

The Layout Is Surprisingly Original

Typically, we find that most tubes tend to follow the same formulaic design as industry giants like Xtube as if that would somehow make them more successful. Palimas, however, uses a neat aesthetic that combines a layout and color scheme, which is just different enough to make it a web design breath of fresh air. To be specific, most of the background of every page is white, but the border color is somewhere between red and magenta. It is not often we see a shade like that. The logo is a clapperboard with some colored bars next to it which, may seem like a minor thing, but its nice to see an attempt at an original icon, which is rare for a lot of tubes. Moving on, a mix of colors are incorporated into other icons like the upvote, time length, and the font color for links to performer profiles. That does not mean that the design is too busy – in fact, it is more on the minimalist side, which makes focusing on the content, not the flourish easier. Like other (good) tubes, each video page has all of the necessitates – that is, a view count, set of clickable tags, download option, comments section, and rating system. Weirdly though, you can only upvote videos not downvote them. Plus, most videos complete with a very extensive description, which will give you a detailed explanation of what you are in for. Scroll down the page, and you will find the typical related videos feature, though you will also be bombarded by a bunch of ads. We should clarify that while we have described it as a tube, Palimas is really more of a video hosting website. By that, we mean that while the videos display on the site, their sources come from other servers, not those owned by Palimas. So, if you find that a video does not play, just switch over to another source, and most videos have at least a few. There are not too many search options, but what is there works well. Through the Explore tab in the menu, you can sort videos by those which have been recently added, the most viewed, the most rated, the ones which are only ultra-high definition, and the movies which are considered to be 'hot.' And like any good website, the search engine works well.

Their Selection Of Videos Will Please Most People

Some may like this, and others will not, but from what we can tell, there does not seem to be any original, amateur content. Instead, it is all clips and full movie clips from some of the best studios in the business. While the selection is good, tracking down the original can be a bit tricky considering some of the titles seem to use the original film's name, or are just a summary of the sex acts in it. Still, with so much stuff from the mainstream, you will find all of your favorite kinds of smut, as well as a few fetishes you might want to look into. For instance, on the Categories page, all of the staples are there like Big Boobs, Interracial, Deep Throat, and Threesome. Some of the more unusual tags include Tattoo, Oil, Uniform, Socks, and Babysitter. Yes, you read that last one right.

They Have An Impressive Pornstar Database

Besides the filters already mentioned and the category pages, another great way you can find the perfect video is by checking out the Pornstar page. They have quite the list as it seems to have a page for about every starlet who has been in the business in the last ten years, at least. With so many performers listed, there are fortunately a few different ways to whittle the number displayed down. Besides being able to select from their names alphabetically, you can sort by those who have been highest-rated, have the most view, performers with the most videos, or you can get a page of random performers. Even if you have the name of the girl whose content you want to see, we recommend experimenting with that last option – it is more fun than you think.

What You Get With Membership

Honestly, getting an account does not really mean much, but there are the standard perks. You can upload your own content, comment on other people's videos, add them to your favorites, and follow people – or subscribe to them. Getting an account takes almost no time and involves the usual – entering a username, coming up with a secure password, then verifying your account via email.

They Are Opposed To Copyright Violations – Allegedly

On their terms of service page, Palimas TV says that they have a strict policy against copyright violations and apparently takes DMCA claims very seriously. While we do not have a problem with that, it is weird to see that so prominently displayed since all of the content comes from popular studios. Usually, when we see this, it is a sign that the content has been pirated. However, most videos are of high-quality, and from what we can tell, this website has not been caught in a massive scandal over piracy. That does not mean anything definitive, but we do find this a little sketchy.

Words Of Advice: Update Your Firewall (!)

The biggest issue we had with this site is the enormous number of adverts that appear all over the place. Yes, it is not as bad as some other tubes, but if you do surf this site, you are going to have to put up with too many, some of which might load up your machine with malware. For this reason, we strongly recommend that you update your virus protection software and invest in some popup blocking program.

Tablet, Smartphone, Desktop – Which Should Watch On?

Certainly, this porn platform has not had the best optimization but still looks relatively good on handheld devices. This is probably because the minimalist layout translates well on tablets and phones. So, if you are like most people and prefer to search for smut on mobile devices will have an excellent time.

What Palimas Does Well

Overall, this website has a great layout, which alone makes it considerably better than other tubes and aggregates. Furthermore, the site's features though basic, all work well and make sorting through the massive archive of videos easier. Speaking of videos, all of them seem to be at least in 720p, and there are tons of videos that can be viewed in Ultra 4K HD. While there is not really any alternative or hugely niche porn, there is plenty of popular stuff, which is often vanilla, and there is some fetish fap material, too.

What On Palimas Could Be Better

While we like the design, we do not like the number of banner ads, let alone where they are placed. It is not so bad that it ruins the experience, but it is enough to complain about. Speaking of ads, the Cams button in the menu is just a spam link to Camonster. Further, while the TOS page does mention that users can upload pictures and GIFs in addition to videos -- however, we cannot find any pages which host photo content. We also have concerns about the videos, or more specifically, where these video servers come from.

Here Is What We Would Do To Make This Tube Better

If we were running a website that relies on advertising, we would place the adverts on parts of the pages which are less distracting. We would also remove the Camonster link from the menu and instead turn it into a banner at the bottom of every page. While the number and kind of videos are great, we would also add the option to upload pictures and GIFs, as well as create unique sections on the site for that material. Lastly, we would even tweak the mobile version a bit, so it runs better and remove all of the obnoxious popups which plague that version of Palimas.

Is This Just Another Tube Site?

In a sense, Palimas is “just” another free porn platform, but one which is a bit better than most others we have seen. The videos hosted are not groundbreaking, but instead are a good representation of some of the better erotic movies which have come out over the last decade. If you are a causal porn enthusiast, you definitely will like this site, so we give it four out of five hands.
