+ Almost all exclusive material focusing on the "teen" niche with 7 years of material available
+ No DRM
+ All pics come in 1600x1060 format with zips
+ Updates 5 days a week

| Cons: |
- Navigation is a pain but tolerable
- Primarily a photo site but there vids available
- Cancellation can be an adventure keep your sign up info on hand when you do cancel
- Some advertising on site to buy their products
- Older vids are very big and some only come in clips
- Inconsistent image sizes when you zip download |
| Bottom Line: |
18Eighteen.com is proof once again that abstinence only education does not work. 18Eighteen started out as a magazine and apparently continues as such as well as the website. Like most porn magazines, they haven't fully embraced the on-line aspects and as such the site does suffer a bit.
Navigation is a pain in the butt. There is a model directory but it is pretty bare bones and offers no real preview of whats available. Most of the images are in the monthly magazine section. You get about 9-12 updates a month there. You have to click on each model to see what their set contains. Then they have other sections where updates are sometimes posted. You really have to dig through the whole site to find everything.
All the models have photo sets with the large pics. Like others have noted, if you do a zip on the older material you might get something smaller than 1600x1060. That seems to have been fixed with the newest postings. I thought the images were mostly good quality although some of the older stuff gets grainy in the large size. I did notice a couple of dead links on the images.
The models are not glam, for the most part they are attractive teens. Most of the material is softcore with some dildo action and you get about 4 or 5 exclusivee hardcore sets per month.
You also get access to the now expired Babyface mag images which are mostly softcore. Their achieve goes back to 2001 with Babyface only having about 16 months (100 models) worth of material.
Like I said this site isn't really about the vids. Download speeds were just OK but the older vids sometimes only offered clips and came in at 320x240 on wmp. The newest vids come in at 640x480 but the majority are in the smaller range. There are probably around 100 vids and dvds, maybe more.
I have been a member here numerous times in the past before they jacked their fees and excluded the full trial last year. It's good to see this discounts back. Cancelling was a little strange. My info was not listed on the processor site and I had to cancel through the website itself. I did not get a cancellation confirmation email until the next day. A little strange but it worked.
I like the fact that the teens are cute and natural (no plastic here) and the production value is pretty good. It's almost all exclusive and, being a picture lover, this is good site in my book. If you've never been you could probably get all you wanted through a couple of trial joins but at $20 a month that wouldn't be bad either. It's not worth staying for more than a month unless you're a really big fan of the content.
I would score this site in the high 80's if they got their their navigation fixed, fixed some of the technical problems and had more movies available in the larger size. A very good site to check out on the trial though. |

| Pros: |
- Lots of content.
- Mostly cute models.
- Choice of small or large pics.
- Zips.
- Sticks to the "eighteen-y" niche
- Trial gives you full access, but join with a back up processor if you can. See below. |
| Cons: |
- Navigation is a hassle, until you get used to it.
- Pics are not top-notch quality and have a grainy appearance.
- Vids section needs organization.
- Search function is bare-bones
- Don't read the text which accompanies the photo-sets, unless you think these girls are actually virgins.
- Cancelling can be a hassle. Save your sub ID number and other info. |
| Bottom Line: |
I'm going to go out on a limb and say that I really like this site. This is mainly because of the nature of the content and not so much the physical quality of it, which leaves a bit to be desired. I'm refering to the pics mainly since I'm not much into video.
Going into the archives I was impressed that sets going back to 1999 still offer pics in large format, and by and large they look fair. If you look at pics that old at ATK, for example, ATK's look ancient by comparison. I understand that large size doesn't equal high-quality, but bear in mind this is a magazine site, and the pics have a magazine-ish look to them. Are they actually scans? I don't know. In the newer sets the large pics (landscape format) fill up my 22 inch monitor and don't look too bad at all. A great many look downright excellent.
There is a marked emphasis on white panties which is as much a plus for me as it will be a negative for others. Elvis would have a good time here. As for the models: they are typically very cute and plain girls are scarce. There is definitely a teeny-bopperish feel to the site and the models fit perfectly with that kind of thing.
Elvis and me, we'd be mates.
A word on the vids. The few I've downloaded so far look good, though some are so grainy they are unwatchable. The "submitted" vids section is very good, from what I've seen.
I've only been here a week so I can't comment on updates. I'm here to collect the backlog anyway.
Follow-Up:
The trial is no longer a full-trial, but now offers only limited access to the material. |

| Pros: |
-Exclusive content.
-Majority of the models are probably 18, rather than 20/21.
-Mostly pretty models.
-No DRM.
-Ability to download pictures at different resolutions. |
| Cons: |
-Video quality could be improved.
-Would like to see more updates.
-Content doesn't justify the cost.
-Site design is somewhat scattered.
-Some of the girls are uninspiring, they look like they'd rather be elsewhere.
-Scenes feel scripted and can get repetitive. |
| Bottom Line: |
18 Eighteen looks like a great site from the homepage. But what you see on the tour is basically as good as its going to get.
The video quality is poor by todays standards, even on the newer videos and the fact that the girls are uninspiring is a turn-off.
There are probably more pictures available than videos too, although one can download the pictures in ZIP archives at various resolutions which is fairly useful.
If you like the youngest porn possible, 18 Eighteen's content is certainly that, and is exclusive, models are physically attractive for the most part and fortunately DRM is not used.
If the site was $10 cheaper, then I'd probably recommend it, but they need to either lower the price or improve on the bad points.
Until that happens, I would struggle to really recommend this site unfortunately. |

*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.
