Cons: |
- Video resolutions/bitrates not up to snuff in 2019
- The site, and what it offers is stuck in a bit of a time warp |
Bottom Line: |
I recently rejoined this site and hadn’t intended to write a new review since what I wrote almost four years ago is still mostly accurate. I was planning to just write an update as a comment and leave it at that. But as I started to write and did a deeper dive into the site it occurred to me that the fact that it really hasn’t changed much actually warrants a new review.
Back in 2015 when I first reviewed the site I had several criticisms of it with the main one being video quality. At the time the best video resolution available was 1280x720 with a relatively low bitrate of 3500kb/s. In the elapsed time between the 2015 review and now we’ve seen some big advances in video quality. I’m sure that many people see 1080p as the new standard and there are many sites that now offer everything in 4K. But not 18Eighteen… they seem to be stuck in a time warp since the best resolution that they now offer, four years after I said that what they had then was barely up to industry standard is, wait for it… 1280x720 with a bitrate of 3500kb/s. Keep in mind that this is the BEST resolution that they offer. The technical side of the site simply hasn’t kept up with the rest of the industry. In my last review I chuckled a bit that in 2015 this site was still offering each scene as a series of small clips for download. You know, for those of us still on dial up. I posed the question as to whether, in 2015, anyone still downloaded small clips. But guess what? Here we are in the waning days of 2019 and they STILL offer small clips. Maybe, just maybe, this site has the market cornered on people who still only have dial-up. Maybe there are some porn shops around that still rent VHS tapes too.
So here’s why I think this is important and why it merited a new deep dive: 18Eighteen is an AMAZING site for those of us who like this niche. If you’re looking for the freshest, tiniest teens on the ‘net this place has to be on your list. The models are a great mix of A-list pornstars, lesser known semi-pros (up-‘n-cummers?) and some relatively unknown Russian/Eastern European models. The site is, however, more skewed to American models.
While the models are all in the same category (young and petite) the site itself offers videos and photos in three broad classes: B/G, G/G and solo. So there might be something for everyone (with a caveat). There are currently 308 solo scenes, 373 B/G scenes and just 10 G/G scenes. This isn’t a big deal for me as I don’t usually collect G/G scenes but it seems to me that this is a niche that the site could be doing a much better job at serving.
The videos are available for download in the above-mentioned 720p as well as in 854x480 (1500) and 640x360 (800). They are also available in WMV at 640x360 (2500). I didn’t know WMV still existed. Streaming is an option too.
Two big advantages that this site has are that it is as much a draw for photo collectors as it is for video fans and, since the site grew out of a magazine that started in 1992 they have a fairly decent catalogue of photos. Currently there are 2646 photo sets. But, like the videos the resolution of even the new sets is low – it’s currently 2000x3000. Not bad, but not great either.
The site is definitely still updating though the schedule is a bit unpredictable. There are times when a new scene or photoset is uploaded every two days but then there are stretches with nothing for almost a week. But there are updates.
I had no issues using a download manager to queue scenes for download and I found that download speeds were up to par with what I get at other sites. Given the small size of the files (due to resolution and bitrate) I downloaded a lot in my first evening and didn’t hit a limit.
The bonus sites that were available last time (there were two of them) no longer seem to be bundled with the membership. My recollection of them, and the fact that I have kept nothing from them, tells me this isn’t a big loss.
My biggest takeaway from my current membership here is that it’s a squandered opportunity. This is a site that has some of the hottest offerings in one of the hottest segments in the porn business and their technology is letting them down. The models are stunning, the scenes are well shot and edited and the site layout is reasonably logical. But the site simply hasn’t kept up with the rest of the business in offering better resolutions. In my opinion, they’re selling themselves short.
So would I recommend this site? I would. If you like this niche then this is a site you have to visit even if you, like me, would prefer higher resolutions. With a TBP discount the site is still a good value but go in knowing you won’t see hot teens in glorious 1080p or 4K.
To reflect that the site hasn’t kept up I’ve dropped my score accordingly. It’s still a great site but I’d really love to see them modernize the technology. |

Pros: |
- Beautiful teen models
- Mix of solo, lesbian and hardcore
- Great for both photo and video fans
- 452 videos
- 2356 photo sets
- Site updates regularly
- Supports download managers
- TBP Discount |
Cons: |
- Video resolutions and bitrates are lower than average
- Bonus sites aren't worth considering in your decision to join
- Photos are lower resolution than many comparable sites |
Bottom Line: |
I went into this membership with high hopes because the models look to be exactly what I like: young and petite. The site isn't perfect, but it has a narrow focus and it sure does that one thing well: you’ll see some of the freshest porn models here. What I think bugs me most about this site is that it is so good that if the few flaws fixed on a go-forward basis this would be one of the best teen-themed sites on the ‘net.
I think the best thing this site has are the models. There is a mix of up-and-coming porn stars and girls who just dabbled a bit in porn once or twice. There is also a mix of American and Eastern European / Russian models, but the majority are American. The common theme in the models is that they are all petite, just over 18 and, in my opinion, exceptionally hot. I realize that this is entirely subjective, but these are the exact kind of models I prefer. If you share this interest then a membership here is definitely worth considering.
The site has been around since 2007 and has amassed 450+ videos and 2350+ photo sets. The site updates with two photo sets and one video being added per week. Occasionally there will be two videos per week. The videos are a mix of solo, girl/girl and hardcore. This is just a guess, but it seems that for the last few years at least the split is somewhere around 45% solo, 45% hardcore and 10% girl/girl.
The videos don’t follow any specific theme except the setup is intended to showcase the age and freshness of the models. The newer videos are offered with some choice: 1280x720, 640x360, 854x480 in MP4 and 640x360 in WMV. Bitrates are crucial to a video looking good but there isn't any consistency here. Even on the highest resolutions the bitrates can vary quite a bit. I have some scenes with bitrates as low as 1500kb/s. It does appear that the site is now fairly consistent in having bitrates around 3500kb/s. Older videos are WMV only and come in 640x480. Anything older than early 2011 and you will have to be satisfied with lower resolutions and bitrates. It is even later before 1280x720 is offered consistently.
The video quality is obviously the site’s biggest flaw. While 720p videos are my choice as a balance between size and look I realize that others want the highest resolution possible. Maybe 4K won’t happen, but it seems odd in 2015 to not offer 1280p. An immediate improvement could be made by using better bitrates. All isn't lost though, as the newer videos are encoded in a way to take full advantage of their less-than-stellar specs.
Another odd choice that seems to harken back to a decade ago is that the scenes are offered as five-minute clips. Some readers may disagree, but in my opinion the video offerings are outdated. Having 1280x720 as the top download is below what most people expect these days. Offering five-minute clips seems like it’s from a different internet era. Are there people buying porn memberships that still download this way?
Photos are a key part of the site too. This is one of the rare sites where photo collectors and video collectors could both feel the site offers good value. The photos do suffer from the same drawbacks as the videos in that they aren’t very high resolution. The newest photos come in 400x600, 800x1200 and 2000x3000. Older photos are available in a maximum of 768x1200.
The videos are offered in streaming too, and there is an in-browser photo slideshow available.
There are a few minor concerns. The biggest of these is that the search function really doesn’t work well. I did a search for anal scenes and got some scenes that had no anal. To make matters worse, I couldn’t sort those results to get only videos.
Some minor positives are that the site offers a TBP discount and allows download managers. The TBP page says that managers aren't supported but I had no problem using IDM to queue-up scenes. It may be that multiple simultaneous downloads are blocked. I didn’t run into any download limits.
The site offers two bonus sites (Picking Up Pussy and T&A Tryouts) but both of these sites are small and offer what look to be old scenes with new release dates added. You may like the bonus sites, but I wouldn’t use factor them in on a decision to join the main site.
I would definitely recommend this site to anyone looking for videos and/or photos of some of the freshest porn models on the ‘net. With the TBP discount this site offers a great value. The older material is definitely not up to par by 2015/2016 standards, but that’s to be expected. Some minor improvements to the current videos and photos would take this site over the top. I’ll be adding this to my list of sites to join regularly. |

Pros: |
No DRM/DL limits.
A variety of download options with good download speed.
Sites still updating.
Lack of irritating things Porn Users hate like pulling hair, spitting, slapping, insulting the models, mucking about on camera etc.
Good customer service, and no pre checked cross sells.
No regional discrimination.
$10 discount for 18 Eighteen through TBP/PU.
Easy sign in procedure.
Good quality video and zipped pics.
Mostly no contraceptives.
Models are young, attractive, have girl next door looks, and there are mercifully few fake breasts. |
Cons: |
Navigation is difficult, not least because there are far too many links and adverts for trying to sell members material outside the membership.
Far too many tattoos and piercings.
To use a perfect Drooler phrase - "pussy fixated" sums up the photography and camerawork, which is a shame because they are professionally done, with both the videos and pics looking good. It's just there are far too many close up groin shots, and three quarter shots, especially in the videos, where you don't see the whole model.
Very little anal.
Suprisingly few videos compared to some sites, especially long serving ones. Less than half the material on 18 Eighteen is hardcore. |
Bottom Line: |
TNA Tryouts and Picking Up Pussy are included with membership. You get a 10 dollar discount through TPB/PU. I was more interested in TNA and PUP than 18 Eighteen as they specialise more in hardcore, but I joined through 18 because of the discount. Less than half of the 18 Eighteen material is hardcore.
Pics come in downloadable zips or you can watch them as slideshows. Videos can be streamed or downloaded. Specs are as follows-:
Pics 1600 high or 800 medium resolution. TNA only has around 16-30 in each set whereas PUP and 18 Eighteen have 50-80.
Full downloadable videos in HD wmv at 1280x720 and medium HD wmv at 854x480. Medium wmv at 640x360 and mp4 at 640x360. There are also 5 minute segments in wmv at 640x360 and 360x240, or mp4 at 640x360. Unfortunately 18 Eighteen does not have the high 1280x720 downloadable videos. They do have 720 HD streaming. Full videos or 5 minute clips are available for mobile devices.
The videos on TNA Tryouts take the form of a girl coming to the door and pretending to be a newcomer. She takes part in a short interview before doing a strip and having sex. On Picking Up Pussy the build up takes the form of a girl being picked up by a driver or on a street/in a park. On 18 Eighteen the sex starts a little quicker. You see the same girls on all three sites, so the build up is just a bit of acting to get the scene going. Camera work and pics are good quality, but once again there is far to too much groin/pussy oriented and three quarter close ups for my taste.
On TNA Tryouts and Picking Up Pussy the videos and photo sets are dated, so although they are kept separate you can match up the pics to the video. On 18 Eighteen it's horrible. Very little is dated so in most cases you have to find either the photo set or video, then go to the model directory to match up the videos and pics. In fact there are so many bits and pieces, which are usually not great quality, that trying to find anything is very time consuming and annoying, because it's all mixed up with the upsells. Some of the material comes with the membership, some of it doesn't, and it's really tedious trying to sort out which is which. In the end I spent most of my time on the two bonus sites.
As on all sites, the older material is poorer quality. Given how long 18 Eighteen has been going I was surprised at how little high spec material was available. There was not a lot of hardcore avavailable on 18 Eighteen, but the other two sites are purely hardcore. Today I have counted 15 videos and photo sets on TNA, with 5 of them being 2011 updates. On PUP there are 30 videos and photo sets, with 5 being 2011 updates.
On cancellation there was an offer to remain for five pounds. If navigation was not so hard I'd have probably taken the offer.
However, I consider the money well spent, and good value. This is another site that I find to be almost old fashioned, and better for it, because of the lack of those annoying cons that we all hate. |

Pros: |
+ 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
+ Good $3 3 day full trial and $20 monthly membership through TBP |
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. |

Pros: |
*Exclusive girls
*Trial join
*pretty girls
* A euro site that actually has vibrators with batteries!
HUM |
Cons: |
Hate to be negative but......
*Very Very limited video
*Formats to finding videos are crappy
*Very limited updates
*A lot of video unable to play (corruption error or weird format that cautions people when they try to install).
* There boasts about how often they update is B.S. |
Bottom Line: |
My postings are about video only......and mainly solo female video....I dont look at pictures.
I belong to thefemaleorgasm.com. I frequesnt there forum and there are several running posts about random sites. I told them I would check this one out.....ppppffffttt I have been here before. There homepage threw me off for some reason.
Its been quite a while (I would say a couple of years) since I was last there. There wastn too much more being offered. I think they mainly update there photo section which is pretty common. Very limited video. Fewer yet videos that are solo. Glad they had a trial membership. I wouldnt pay much more even if it were monthly.
Its too bad.....with the models they get in. If they were to concentrate on solo video instead of pictures they would be a hit. Im not saying that cause Im a solo female fanatic.....but lets face it...there arent too many out there. |

Pros: |
*exclusivity
*updating
*photo size 800*600 to 1000*1200 |
Cons: |
*navigation confuse
*poor quality in general
*videographer and edition in videos

Bottom Line: |
Seems to me,they sales magazines and had the idea
to upload a porn site.Of course there's a lot of
(poor)photos.They have a few sections.By example=
hardcore,but it has only TWO VIDEOS!!
-Think the main problem on videos is the camera-
man:loose the focus,staggering in the interviews,
in zoom-out you can see the lamps??The girls,well-
some almost get sleep in solo session and I almost
fall down from the chair too!!.They drops the dil-
do,hits their head with the sofa.oh my!
There's a thing called EDITION.
-Expensive site,could cost 50% less.
-Under your own risk.
