CDGirls.com has been around for several years now, though I must admit I am pretty unfamiliar with the site. I was initially confused to see a product catalog on the site next to the member's log in button. It turns out that all of their original video work is available for purchase on cd rom, vhs and dvd. Pretty cool feature! However, we're here to review the member's area. The design of the site is very clean and it is quite easy to find your way through the 70 gigs of content. Out of their studio in Las Vegas, the fine folks at CDGirls produce "high-quality adult oriented products using emerging technologies." They vow that nothing is ever faked, as they let the models choose the toys and machines they want to use for a "real life sexual experience." Well, while I doubt they've never had an Elaine pulled on them, it's a nice attempt at keeping things interesting.
CDGirls is primarily a video site. There are some pictures (around 50,000) but they're video captures so the quality isn't great. They're better than most at 640x480 and they are available in zip files but they're nothing compared to the videos. The movies are awesome and they are clearly the focus of this site. There are around 600 original videos, as well as 50 downloadable dvds that are not exclusive. There is some confusion here over what exactly is exclusive and what is not. Some of their "original" clips appear in their dvd section and vice versa. I'm under the impression that the dvds are not exclusive as it says "Top quality dvds from top quality producers encoded for downloaded [sic] by us." This to me means not exclusive. Hmm. Either way, the quality is great. The clips are available in mpeg for download and Quicktime for streaming. The mpeg clips are available in three speeds. Don't waste your time; go straight to the high quality mpegs. You can watch these at full screen and it's almost like watching television. The video and audio are excellent. The themes primarily focus on girls with toys and sybians but there is good variety here. You'll find some girl-girl and guy-girl scenes, as well as bondage and fetish here and there. To find what you're specifically looking for I recommend using the search feature. You can search by model, dvd, keyword or category. You can also browse the galleries in order of update, by model or by category. All of the models were in their late teens and early twenties and are quite cute. A new gallery of video and images are added every day except Sunday. There are a few extra features, like Dreamzotic video feeds and other third party picture and video providers. These are all fine additions but I don't imagine you'll be able to wrest your eyes from the gorgeous videos on this site.
CDGirls.com is an excellent video site. They've got all the pieces to the puzzle: daily updates, high quality video, great navigation, huge volume and a reasonable price. I honestly have no real complaints about this site. Ok, if I had to come up with something I'd request actual photos instead of video captures in their image galleries. But that's it! I really think most people will enjoy this site, especially broadband using fans of young amateur models.

Not a whole lot has changed here at CD Girls but looking over my review from last year I think there is something I need to clear up. I don't know how I missed the photo galleries last time but I did. Somehow I managed to skip a couple thousand high quality pictures! They are large (1280x827) and they look fantastic. Also, since our initial review CD Girls has begun offering network access to a collection of additional video sites. This site really is a great video resource.
Other than my little oversight, the rest of my review holds true. These are some great quality videos. A steady schedule of daily updates has helped CD Girls grow into one of the largest sources of high quality amateur videos on the internet.
Score remains at 83.3.

Coming back to CD Girls a year and a half since our last visit, I'm even more impressed this time. This is a big site, with over 200 models and 840 videeos! They still update just about daily with quality photos and videos. I get the impression that a greater proportion of it is original now. Just about every girl on there is wearing a CD Girls t-shirt, after all. The only thing that a potential member might have a problem with is the membership set-up, which requires a minimum 2 month membership at $40. If you know you're into CD Girls than this is actually a good deal, but it does discourage an unsure buyer from sampling. Anyhow, the site itself is as strong as ever. I'm bumping up my score a notch for this entertaining collection.
Score increased from 83.3 to 85.0.

Another year gone by and CD Girls is bigger than ever with 277 models and 969 videos. Thanks to continued daily updates, this huge site just keeps growing. It looks like they've had a redesign and restructuring since our last visit which does make navigation easier. It's a cleaner look than I remember. They've also started adding some high definition content. These videos play at 5000k and look awesome. Right now there are 97 videos that fall into this category, not too shabby! Updates to this section come several times a week so I'm definitely looking forward to watching it grow. The pricing has changed from $40 for two months to a more standard $30 a month. It isn't cheap but it is about right for a site like this. All in all these are positive changes for CD Girls and I hope they continue to grow and upgrade like this!
Score increased from 85.0 to 86.0.
