It has been about a decade now since BaDoinkVR started providing some of the best VR porn for early tech adopters, and as one of the quicker companies to jump on virtual reality porn, it has had more time than most to refine its offering. The diversity of its experiments in VR porn reflect that well. Read on for our full BaDoinkVR review to see how the company used that head start and how it’s doing now.
Does it offer enough to deliver a better experience than rivals like VirtualRealPorn, WankzVR and the many more that have launched since? Why are we still here asking questions when we could be finding out?
Fair point.
BaDoinkVR Review: Design
In one way, a no-nonsense, straight to the clips approach is what a lot of viewers will probably want, but I found the lack of filters in comparison to VirtualRealPorn a little bit of a disappointment.
When you open up BadoinkVR, on mobile or desktop (for later side-loading), you’re presented with a stream of the latest VR porn clips available. It helps you jump right in, but it’s limiting in a discovery sense if you’re looking for something specific. Most likely, you’re probably not on your first use.
Nonetheless, the simplicity of the design and the presentation of all the useful information (file size, type, etc) makes it a service that looks good and is easy to use.
As with other sites, you will need a VR player to view the files. These days BaDoinkVR streams and plays through its own app and any standard VR player, so there is no faffing with folders.
The app is a no-frills solution to getting VR porn on your phone, putting it in keeping with BadoinkVR as a whole, and will let you stream videos too, saving you the need to download them.
If you want to do that, you just need to tap the ‘link’ icon on the video you want to watch, and then paste it into the box that pops up when you hit ‘Stream’ in the Free VR Player app. Simple, but the quality won’t be quite as good as download.
BaDoinkVR Review: Content
While the catalog offers no complaints – aside of the very ‘middle-of-the-road’ nature of the scenes, which is common across VR porn at the moment – it could do with more scenes. Rivals like VirtualRealPorn have well over 1,000 now. If that’s your primary consideration, head there (or consider an aggregator site like POVR) instead.
Currently, there’s at least two new videos added per week to BadoinkVR, plus one from one of the network partner sites. This has ensured a steady catalog growth over the years, which is always good to hear for anyone considering subscribing.
BaDoink also has a great feature that makes it super-simple to stay immersed in videos while watching. Essentially, rather than downloading all the scenes you want to view (which is still the way to get the best visual quality), you can just enter the ‘Virtual Theater’ mode, which allows you to easily watch and select clips without removing your headset just by using gaze detection (ie. looking at the thumbnail of the clip you want to start.)
You can also use it to navigate around other aspects of viewing and playback, and it all launches inside a browser, meaning nothing extra to install or download. It is a genuinely interesting, differentiating feature that makes it easy to keep your headset on and watching your way through the catalog.
BaDoinkVR Review: Features
BaDoinkVR is a super-simple service, with downloads and streaming tuned for modern standalone headsets like the Meta Quest 3 and 3S, alongside PC VR and phone-based viewers.
The ‘any smartphone’ download options also include a 30fps version too, which results in a smaller file size.
Overall, it’s a difference of about 1GB on a clip of around 30 minutes, so it’ll make a significant difference if you plan on keeping a few on your phone at once.
We tested on a Meta Quest 3, which shows the scenes at the full resolution they are mastered in.
The maximum 8K resolution depends on the headset you watch with, and a Meta Quest 3 or 3S is the easy pick for most people. BaDoinkVR also supports interactive playback, syncing scenes to toys from Kiiroo, Lovense and The Handy through downloadable Funscripts.
BaDoinkVR Review: Pricing
Pricing for BadoinkVR, like many of its rivals, comes with an introductory offer, which varies depending on how long you want your membership to run.
BaDoinkVR starts with a $1 one-day trial, then runs around $19.95 a month (often discounted), $89.95 for a year, or $299 for lifetime access. The rolling monthly is a touch pricier than VirtualRealPorn or WankzVR, but it is competitive over longer terms, and the lifetime deal is where the real value sits.
BaDoinkVR is also the anchor of a Super Bundle that rolls in sister sites VRCosplayX, BabeVR, 18VR and KinkVR for a single price, which is worth a look if you want far more than one site. Each of those is still available on its own subscription too.
BaDoinkVR Review: Overall
BaDoinkVR is still one of our favorite VR sites, even if it is not top of the pile any more. With a wide range of clips, support for lots of devices, interactive toy sync and regular updates, it is almost a no-brainer if you want a reliable go-to VR porn subscription, especially through the Super Bundle.
And it is a no-brainer if you want the hassle-free experience of the ‘virtual theater’ mode, which lets you browse and play with your headset on. It is convenient, and has only got better over time.
