How comfortable do you reckon glass plugs are?

Re: Nice glass plugs?
Stone and glass are definitely my favourite materials 
Depends what size you are, but solid glass can be sort of heavy, though I never noticed at 5/8", I kinda do now at 1". Its not a problem anyway.
Not rivalling silicone for comfort, but the right wearable and its not at all uncomfy. My glass eyelets are amazing, comfier than most of my other jewellery. And they don't really get cold like metals.
Want anything specific?
I'm on a jewellery binge XD
Need to bulk up my glass and stone again...

Frozenfire holds my fastest ever abroad postage record, at three days. I was impressed
And he marks it to avoid customs charges
America has most of the best jewellery, and cheaper than UK sites too. Because in part of exchange rate and whatever import fees.
As long as you're not desperate, you definately shouldn't be afraid. On average stuff takes two weeks, I've only ever had one returned to sender, and one take longer than a month. And I buy a LOT.
Re: Nice glass plugs?
Maybe you have different custom/tax rules, because here (Denmark), even if it is marked as a gift, it will still be taxed if it is valued at above $15. It's a real problem. There is sooo much stuff (for my ears) I would love to buy.stashapistachio wrote:I live in the uk.Acacia wrote:Wow stashapistachio, those frozenfire are amazing. Wish I was in the us...

Re: Nice glass plugs?
I think its a gift with a value of less than $40 here?
But most small people [like etsy] are quite happy to mark it worth $1
Its not insured, so they don't care.
BAF will mark it gift, but don't change the value. I only get less than half taxable parcels attacked by customs anyways. Much higher rate around xmas :/

Re: Nice glass plugs?
That's awesome.
I don't plan on stretching past 0g (might eat my words at that stage but I've got a ways to go before I can even make a firm decision on it) so glass seems like a pretty good option.
I'm not really concerned about the material being too cold, I'm in Australia and the heat is usually pretty unrelenting.
So it should be alright. I really want some nerdy kind of plugs as sadly I'm that type.

None glass though.
I dn't really worry about the cold apart from snowy winter, then I just avoid metal, and wear a hat/earmuffs. My ears have yet to fall off, but its best to be safe

Re: Nice glass plugs?
I haven't had a ton of glass plugs as I've been trying not to buy anything too expensive till I know which size I'm staying at, however I've had many liquid glass plugs and have no complaints. As much as I really don't want to support them, you can get them at hot topic most times or go to the website

The sound of gun fire so loud and rapid, but it seems to be so quiet around me, and out of nowhere I feel peace cover me. I reach down and reload my ticket home. The taste of cold steel on my lips, and a second later silence fills the January air...
Re: Nice glass plugs?
Ok, then they're more strict this side of the channel *lol*, bacause even if it is a gift and marked $1, they can still claim that it is in fact worth more and then it is up to me to prove them wrong....stashapistachio wrote:I think its a gift with a value of less than $40 here?

But I might just take the chance anyway one day, cos those are sooooo beautiful!
