| Pros: |
1. All Exclusive content. You won't see it on ANY other site. New content is added almost daily.
2. Stunning image quality, really has to be seen to be believed. Currently there are 589 models appearing in 3734 sets for a total of over 429,000+ images to browse.
3. Super fast download speeds for both images and movies. Multiple high quality movie formats - WMV/MPG/MOV/FLV at impressive bitrates (and NO DRM!).
4. Make no mistake, this truly is a benchmark solo-girl site by which all others of a similar niche should be judged.
5. Membership costs. If you're a fan of solo-girl sites like myself, the value for money this site represents is truly amazing. An absolute BARGAIN. |
| Cons: |
Small quibble with the video's (See Bottom Line) |
| Bottom Line: |
Make no mistake folks, this is a gem of a site. As I said in my PRO's section above you really do need to check out the quality of the content on SimonScans.com and then take a look at 99% of other sites in the same niche to appreciate just how good it really is. One of the few (very few!) sites that really does make you go "Wow!".
Onto the site itself. It's quick to load and I personally found it a breeze to browse around and getting to sections of the site I go to frequently is easy. Granted, I have been a member for quite some time now, but I honestly believe you'll have no problems at all using SimonScans.com and everything just has that 'SimonScans' feel to it. If that makes sense? If you become a member (and you should!) you'll understand exactly what I mean :)
The reason I don't give this site 100/100 is that I agree with others that have said some of the older videos are of not such good quality. But then I think I'm judging them against the latest SimonScans video quality and maybe thats me just being overly picky. The latest videos (over the last 6 months) are very good indeed, so maybe I'am being overly-critical on this point.
To sum it up, this is a fantastic site. It hits its' niche bang on and all in glorious Hi-Res quality. Check it out today, you won't regret it for a second. |

| Pros: |
578 models, most with at least 5+ sets of pics, some with video.
Excellent site navigation options.
All exclusive content.
Frequent pic set updates. usually 1 or 2 every couple of days.
Fast download speeds (averaged around 700 kbps)
Quite a few vidcaps to represent a video.
Most movies have more than one movie download option. |
| Cons: |
Many members area problems such as dead links and missing movies, explained more below.
Minimal movie updates. 3-5 per month.
Too many unattractive models throughout the model index.
If you don't like the niche, it will be a con to you that most of the material is solo girl toy use and pussy spreading.
Customer support has been weak.
Older movies are poor quality and some don't play well. |
| Bottom Line: |
Well, I just joined Simon Scans again for the first time in a LONG time and at first I was amazed at the navigation of the site. There are so many ways to look at different things and everything is very easy to access. You can look at the model index in multiple ways, view all past updates by month easily, and just browse through the movie files. At first I thought this was going to be right up at the top of my scores for reviewed sites, but the errors on the site kill the score. As a matter of face, even compared to all the crappy sites I have joined over the last 4-5 years, I can't think of one that had so many technical problems.
The biggest and most important thing that I will explain in more detail is the problems on the site. Initially when going through the model index I found one model that had some problems, but as I continued to browse, that one model became more, and the types of problems expanded even more as well. So, as is typical with most sites, when clicking on a model index you will get thumbnail picks of the models, and when clicking on one pic that brings you to the model page of that model, which views all of their sets and such. Simon scans has this too, but it also has a more detailed version of the initial list of thumbs of the models that lists all of the sets that they have too (pics and video). So you can either go into their model page by clicking on their pic, or you can access the sets directly from the model index in that little area I described that lists them all, the "series details" they call it. Ok, so first, when you click on a model pic to enter her model page, it is VERY common to not have all her sets in there. Both pic sets and video sets are often times left out of it, so that leaves you with the links that I described that are on the model index, in the "series details". Well, the pic set links work, but NONE of the movie links work. So, if the movie isn't in her model page, you are out of luck. So, that's problem one. Also, I found a couple models who have dead links to their model pages completely. Wow. And ANOTHER problem. I found more than one model who has multiple movies, only to find that sometimes more than one different movie links to the same movie download, meaning one of the movies is nowhere to be found. Seriously, for a big time site, it sure has a crapload of problems.
Also, this is a niche site for fans of solo girl content, nothing more. While I enjoy that content and did like the content I could access, if you aren't a fan of it this site will not be for you. Expect a lot of toy use and a lot of pussy spreading.
For the niche it serves, this site COULD be among the best if it fixed all the problems on the site. Seriously, get a new webmaster already. There are a lot of good things here, and they shouldn't be diminished, but just expect some frustration and challenges in accessing the content. |

| Pros: |
# Simon Scans offers super hi rez photography that's focused on harcore: beautiful UK models using big dildoes, gaping pussies, and all colors come through vivid and in rich colors.
# no flushed out, washed out or bland fleshtones, you get to see all ranges of fleshtones of the models inclushing pussy flesh in pinks; reddish flesh with the gaping shots, and purple.--no color is muted- just super vivid stimulating shots.
# offers many stimulating pov shots where you see angles as if you where lying on the floor looking up; or if your face was looking at her lap or her bum- just great in-your face shots.
#567 Models; 3567 Sets; 414,658 Images online
#pics are 1442 x 961, 961 x 1442
#.WMV 640 x 370 - Windows optimised format
.MOV 1280 x 960 - recomended format, FULL HDV - h264, .MPG 640 x 480 - universal playback
.IPOD 320x240 - play on the go - h264 encoded
# lets you see some decent samples before you buy via site tour and email newsletter- you'll get a heapload of samples. |
| Cons: |
# Quicktime needed to use vids; don't have it- you'll need to download it.
# vids focus almost soley on models masterbating with dildos- so if you like to see models primping, trying on clothes, then you will have to get that elsewhere.
# Simon Scans shoots tend to be fast- the models get naked too quick sometimes- not true with all of the sets, but some of the sets. Though there are some great lingerie and clothes shots.
#Overall this site focuses on big dildoes; if you like the model using dildoes in almost every set; then you will love it- yet this site seems a bit too attached to the dildo. |
| Bottom Line: |
Ok. If you like great photography of dildo centered hardcore; gaping pussies; shots of big dildoes penetrating models (including anal); both hairy and shaved shots; lots of great POV shots where the model stands over you while groping herself; and models shot in beautiful locations, then this site is for you.
I've been a member of Simon Scans four times. The best thing is finding your favorite model. The sets are outstanding and I spend myself lost in a set and browsing and skimming through everything a lot less. The shots are just stimulating and vivid. You get hi end lingerie in bright colors; you really gets to see drenched pussies; get to see even purple veins in the labia. These are just beautifully thought out composed and super hi rez shots.
If you have a large flat screen monitor then you have got to background some of these shots- they are great.
Simon Scans masters what it focuses on. Though personally for me I like to see models primping more and I am a softcore fan so I have other memberships that suit that need. I found a lot of the sets in Simon Scans that showed models in their clothes and lingerie just as erotic and stimulating as the hardcore shots
But everyone has their tastes, and if you like what i listed in the first paragraph- if those are your tastes; then you will be hooked on this site.
Simon Scans is a top five best site of its type for those who like seeing models using toys. |

| Pros: |
Loads of content, mostly pictures
Easy to download
Good download speed
Lots of models
Navigation is decent
No download limit, kinda... |
| Cons: |
Price a little high
Not too many videos
Many of the models are not very pretty
Video quality a little low
Site could still grow some |
| Bottom Line: |
Downloading was fairly easy. They have a good connection, but they do limit downloads sorta. Their server will kick you off if you reach a certain bandwidth quota. I was around 50-60 GB in about 2 days when I got booted. I email customer service and the reset my account within about a day. The limit is there to prevent hacked account from knocking their servers of the wall with 300 people all downloading from one account! The service guy said to keep downloading as much as I wanted and they would just keep reseting my account, but I had no more issues.
Some of the girls are kinda ugly on this site.
There was about 70 GB of pictures and 17 GB of videos, so this was about a 3 day download, but it came in nicely and kept my 3 Mbit/s pegged.
As of early march 2008 there were about 330 videos. The bit rates do vary, but a good amount of them are at about 1200 Kbit/s and the videos range from 4 minutes to 25 minutes. Most of the videos are 7-11 minutes. The resolution for the better amount of the videos are 480 x 360. |

| Pros: |
- British solo hardcore website with mostly girls from UK and Europe.
- Tons of decent quality solo hardcore and few lesbian photos dating from 2000. Close to 500 or more models
- Photo size 1500x900 or larger past 2 years.
- Updates 5 times a week mostly photos and occasionally videos.
- Decent quality videos. Masturbation videos are more authentic then most other websites you can actually see many models getting wet and having a real orgasm. |
| Cons: |
- Some photos are too blurry many a time the photographer blurs the models face completely and you get to see only the genitals. (May appeal to some)
- Manager of the website not picky in choosing models. Some average models that look like they badly need a shower, some look like they have given birth to 5-6 kids.
- Toys, toys and more toys some of them huge in size almost as long as their thighs and as thick as their arms, but they seem to be happily putting them in! Toys can put in as early as the 5th or 6th picture which makes it less erotic.
- Picture opens in new window. (May not be a hassle to some) |
| Bottom Line: |
One of the best British porn sites around, although they have been adding a lot of other European models lately.
Will appeal to ones who love toys. Some models use two to three toys in every orifice possible!! |

| Pros: |
Hot "girl next door" content without the stilletoes and fake tits.
Great butt and ass photos.
Lots of models and lots of photos
Frequent updates.
Easy to navigate.
Friendly and authentic vibe to photos. |
| Cons: |
Videos are limited.
No hardcore for those who like that. |
| Bottom Line: |
If you are only into hardcore videos, this site may not be for you. For all others it could be worth a look, and if you like solo amateur girls showing their tits, pussies and assholes, Simonscans could be heaven. |

| Pros: |
- Lots of models that I haven't seen before, plus some familiar faces, for a nice blend of old with the new
- Photo quality is nice at over 1500 on high end, but I do get some blurriness
- Videos in full scenes, about the only pro with those
- Amount of picture sets is impressive, around 2,500 sets and those come in zip files
- No scrolling image viewing is interesting, if not strange (see cons and BL) |
| Cons: |
- Videos aren't hardly worth downloading, poor quality and mostly boring videos that are almost all following a formula/sequence
- That no scrolling image viewing is strange, I can't figure out how to keep it working, so I end up not using it.
- Price is too high, $19.95 would be about right
- As with any site that advertises amateur content, you are going to get some models that aren't very good looking
- No sex beyond masturbation |
| Bottom Line: |
I had heard almost all good things about this site. While I do agree that the photos look nice and for the most part are crisp and clear. There are some that are blurry right where I want them to be crisp and clear at.
The navigation is very easy to use, though not knowing these models, left me with spending an afternoon and clicking on each to see what each one looked like. Lots of blondes, and I'm not really into blondes, but that is minor. The downloads are easy, whether movie or zip picture files. Download speeds are going about average for me when compared to other sites.
I just don't see this site as one that I'm going to rush back to. The no scroll picture viewing is gimmicky at best. I went as far as hooking up my old monitor which is a 800x600 just to see how it works. My current monitor is 1600 on the high end, so I wouldn't need the no scroll viewing. The picture tries to fit itself to your screen size. Haven't I been able to do this while using Firefox for years?
If I'm not using that right, I would like it to be explained. The models range from very sexy to just plain average girls. I'm at the point that I want to see very sexy, so a lot of these models were just skipped over. The easiest way to sum it up is that it is a nice site and probably was a great one at one time, but it is just a little above average now. I might come back in a year and try it again. Recommended for 1 month at most, and there are still several similar sites I prefer. |

| Pros: |
-ZIP FILES the models names are attached to the downloads which makes for easy photo set management. I wish all sites did the same.
-EXCELLENT MIX OF MODELS from teens to busty 20 something girls, hairy to shaved, what ever your fancy is that day the site has it to explore!
-EASY NAVIGATION you pick and search model features quickly to find featured models or use the model index to find your girl
-EXCELLENT PHOTOGRAPHY the sets and outfits are top quality, lots of xxx erotic closeups! |
| Cons: |
-NOT ENOUGH VIDEO the video section is impressive but it needs a bit more work to be equal in quality and content of the photos
-VIDEO/CAM STAFF the site could use a new face and eyes behind the cam to freshen the videos up.
-GIRl/GIRL the site has not updated its lesbian content in quite sometime. Why not? Its primarly a solo girl site but a mix of lesbian erotica with previously featured models would be great.
-BLOG IS CONFUSING I was unable to use or post. Sent email no response. |
| Bottom Line: |
SS is an excellent site for picture viewing and collecting. If your a picture collector this is a must site to put on your list to explore. The videos have not really changed in style or eroticism sense the first time I explored 6 months. Videos seem to tease and miss out on the moment to often and miss the right level of eroticism. (I just renewed/explored again two months ago.) The lack of new girl/girl was disappointing. With some new fresh ideas I could see this site being top in its class. |

| Pros: |
1). very good photgraphy with a good amount of pictures per set.
2). A good balance between average woman and babes, |
| Cons: |
1). Almost no tease with the photosets. The clothes come off real quick and the photo-sets are very perdictable. I feel this site needs to get a couple of new photographers, the ones they have act tired or they just go through the motions That's to bad because they have a lot of content and use good equipment for filming.
2). They also have a lot of beautiful woman but in my option they blow the shot. |
| Bottom Line: |
A lot of good content and a lot of good photo-shoots. This site could be a lot better with a little influx of style. |
