 Teen 18 Full Review
Teen18.com has an appealing theme and enticing content, but I couldn't help but feel like the site tries to appear bigger than it is. It's not uncommon for pay sites to use their tour as a means to portray a larger site than surfers are given access to when they join, but it's not often you'll find member's areas appearing larger than they are. Simply put, this site is tiny. However, there's so much focus on bonus content, third party video feeds, third party photos feeds, third party ads, and third party chat sites, that it's easy to think you've hit the jackpot by joining. In reality, you're only getting access to a small handful of the kind of content that signed up for. Thankfully, the small collection of content they have is fun to watch with a host of video viewing options to choose from. The one thing that I've gotta say about the site design that I did like is that it's designed so that if the site were as big as they portray it to be, the content would be extremely easy to find and watch. There are quite a few browsing options including a search engine and links that make it easy to find content. There are several different ways to display the content too. Each scene comes represented by a small headshot of the featured teen, a description, the video duration, a link to the model's profile, and links to the content. The videos can be watched encoded in flash or in as wmv files. The flash video can be watched at three different resolutions. All three bit rates look good and the flash video buffers quickly, but the the actual video jerks around and lags behind. A member is going to experience the best video quality by downloading one of the three wmv files. Each file is encoded at a different bit rate. The highest bit rate gives way to the lower end of DVD quality video. It's not the best quality, but it's better than the flash video. The pictures look great. The photography is spot on and the pictures can be viewed at two different sizes with the larger size being a good size.

There's not that much to see in here and I don't think that's going to change for a while. It doesn't look like the site updates that often, but that's hard to say without an update schedule. The content they do have is excellent, but there's just not much of it.
