1/2" DF gold galaxy plugs (pair)
There are a few bubbles in one but it doesn't take away from them. I think it looks really neat actually.

1/2" black/red swirl plugs (DOUBLE flare)
I haven't noticed anything really wrong with them. Colors look fine, maybe a swirl is off but it doesn't bother me. Always great finds in the 2nds/blemish bins!

1/2" DF gold diamond plate polychrome plugs (pair)
Colors are a bit off in each, but nothing unwearable. Only noticeable if you look at them right next to each other.

0g DF Image Plugs(butterfly on black)(pair)
These are lovely. One plug has a speck in it, but I doubt it will be noticeable in ear.

5/8" DF Mushroom plugs (Moss green)(pair)
I bought these on a whim to take advantage of the big December sale, and couldn't be happier. The "blemish" if you can call it that is that the mushrooms are different, but I think it's just fine. They are gorgeous, and clear. Beautiful.

9/16" DF Waffle texture bling dichro plugs (pair)
Only flaw I saw was that the wearable lengths differ;which when they're in ear, you obviously wouldn't know! Super blingy, I love wearing them.

00g/9mm SF black/green swirl plugs (pair)
I got these to stretch into 00g. It was very easy and they slid through with no problems.
Posted on 11/19/2012
7/8" amber purple
They don't actually match, whatever way round I wear them. But I love that they don't. Awesome colors, lovely swirly-ness. One of my favorite pairs of plugs, except the flares are a tad small, so i'm just extra careful when wearing them!
Posted on 10/29/2012
00g/9mm DF Foil Plugs(blue)(pair)
This was my first time in the 2nds/blemished bin and I couldn't be happier! The size and color of these are right on, the only difference I can find is that the foil pattern is a little larger on one then the other which you can see in the picture I posted, but you can only notice when SUPER close up. At talking distance or even just looking in the mirror I can't tell at all. I even emailed customer service to get a written description before I bought these and they were more than happy to help me out. I love BAF and now I love the 2nds/blemished bin!

0g DF Earth planet plugs (pair)
These are so gorgeous. I have no idea why these plugs are in the blemished category, I see absolutely nothing wrong with them. I can't wait to stretch up and be able to wear these beauties!

3/4" DF green lantern borostone plugs (pair)
Good pair of blemished plugs. some small bubbles and one was longer but still really nice
Posted on 10/1/2012
6g SF amber/purple on indigo sparkle jellyfish plug (SINGLE)
I've no idea why this was in the blemished/ 2nds section - I can't see a thing wrong with it. The jellyfish is more of a yellowy green colour than I'd expected an amber ourple one to be, but it's perfect in form and shape, and the plug itself is, too. I'm thrilled I got this as I only wanted one plug, and it was heavily discounted for a perfect product.
Posted on 9/13/2012
1-1/8" moss pebble plugs (DOUBLE flare)
I got the DF Wave Crest borostone plugs. Couldn't find them in the list.
The only flaw is a tiny surface bubble on the face of one of the plugs. Otherwise they are gorgeous and perfectly matched, as always.

5/8" DF green lantern borostone plugs (pair)
Beautiful plugs, very slick and classy
Posted on 8/15/2012
5/8" DF lavendar/white flower front plugs (pair)
As always GWS has amazing 'blemished' plugs! I am never dissatisfied with their discounted blemishes! I am assuming the blemish in these are a few really small air bubbles on the flower glass work. It is only noticeable if you're looking for it, and it honestly makes the pedals look more realistic. Perhaps one of the flares is a little big, but they slipped in just fine. So beautiful and I am so happy I found these plugs discounted.

9/16" SF emerald galaxy plugs (pair)
Great product.
Posted on 8/7/2012
7/16" DF black and green swirl plugs(pair)
i'm not really sure what makes these 2nds. the pattern matches, the flares aren't warped, the wearables are matched well, no bubbles. the flares are a bit on the subtle side, but still exist enough to be considered double flare. i've received 1st quality plugs less consistent than these. well worth taking a chance with. they are comfortable in my inner conches. no complaints here.
Posted on 8/7/2012
7/16" DF Mushroom plugs (Cubensis on black)(pair)
it's always a chance you'll get a really crummy pair of 2nds with designs like jellyfish, mushrooms, galaxies, planets, and so forth, but i've always wanted a pair of mushroom plugs, and i've had pretty good luck with 2nds in the past, so when i saw a 7/16" double flare suited for my inner conches, i went for it. the mushrooms themselves are well matched (one has a cap slightly larger and a bit more translucent, but i've seen this with 1st quality pieces), front and back flares of decent size and consistent with one another. only real flaw i can see is that the front flare of one plug is slightly tipped on an angle, not noticeable at all when worn and isn't drastic enough to affect comfort. these 2nds can be a great deal sometimes. i got lucky again with these.
Posted on 7/11/2012
00g/9mm DF Foil Plugs(blue)(pair)
The blemish on mine was that one of the plugs had almost like a tear in the dichro, showing a silver in the middle of the plug. However, that doesn't make them any less eyecatching!! The fact the dichro isn't at the front allows the glass 'dome' to magnify the dichro, making the folds in it look bigger. My boyfriend can't stop looking at them. Plan on getting the other colours!!
Posted on 6/20/2012
1/2" DF mushroom plugs (Cubensis on black)(pair)
These are cute. On had a larger front lare than other, and one mushroom has a slightly bent stem, but the faults aren't that noticable, and at half price I'm quite happy with them.

I can't find a thing wrong with them. They are super cute!
Posted on 5/25/2012
1/2" DF Pyrex glass planet plugs (Pluto)(pair)
These are the first 2nds I have ever bought from BAF and they will not be the last ones. For the price these are absolutely amazing. The pair is not that well matched but one can hardly tell that these are blemished. Soo happy!
Posted on 3/16/2012

7/8" amber purple
I dunno why it won't let me choose my product correctly...I got the amber/purple jellyfish, 6g. I can't say I recommend these. I don't know if it's because they're blemished, but all you can really see is the cap of the jellyfish. I was very disappointed.
Posted on 12/15/2011

One of these has more foil than the other but it's really not that bad.

The color on these is okay. They don't stay in my ear that great so I don't wear them that often.
Posted on 12/9/2011
00g/10mm DF Pyrex glass planet plugs (New Earth)(pair)
They didn't match very well and they were pretty dark. Its hard to notice the colors in them in less light hits them or you get right up to them. They are still an alright pair for the price.
Posted on 11/29/2011
00g/9mm DF Pluto planets (pair)
The flares are quite tiny, and the colors are fairly muted and sedate. But these are still a beautiful pair of plugs :)
Posted on 11/23/2011
BAF comment: All plugs in this listing will not be in the product photo. Usually you can find pictures of what the plugs will most likely look like by searching for the product name on the site. ;)
1/2" DF blue/copper galaxy plugs (pair)
These are beautiful. They look different than the product photo, but they don't appear to be blemished.
Posted on 11/17/2011
1/2" DF Foil Plugs(blue)(pair)
These are BEAUTIFUL! The blemish is that one plug is more of a purpley blue, but when they are in-ear you can't even tell. I love these a lot!
Posted on 11/15/2011
1" DF Pyrex glass planet plugs (1 pluto/1 new earth)(pair)
These are pretty cool. They look more like a smudge of mud in them, but in all honesty, I barely notice. Nice and durable too.
Posted on 11/11/2011
00g/9mm DF Pyrex glass jellyfish plugs (Amber/purple on indigo sparkle)(pair)
The flaws I saw with these was that one jellyfish was more in focus than the other and the indigo sparkle on the back is lighter on one side. I like the unique look and they're very comfortable to wear as well.
Posted on 10/25/2011
2g SF black and white swirl plugs(pair)
The pair I received was mismatched. There's about 1/8" difference in the wearables, and one front looks like a pinwheel, while the other is actually swirled. I was still able to use these when I stretched to 2g, so no harm, but I wish their mismatching was a little less noticeable.
Posted on 10/25/2011
2g DF Flower glass plugs (Black/Pink)(pair)
Cute and just as nice as a first-quality set. I think the "seconds" is because the pink center is a little bigger on one than the other, but it doesn't bother me in the slightest!
Posted on 10/21/2011
0g DF blue/copper galaxy plugs (pair)
I'm SO happy with these. The coloring is mostly yellow with tiny flecks of blue, but they look really neat. The flare is really easy to put in too.

Again, great plugs. Wear great, and I can't tell why they are seconds.
Posted on 10/13/2011
0g SF diamond galaxy plugs (pair)
These are great "professional" plugs. I wear them to teach in all the time. The "blemish" is that one is shorter than the other, but you don't notice unless you hold them next to each other. Great plugs!
Posted on 9/29/2011
00g/9mm DF blue/pink galaxy plugs (pair)
These run reaaaally tiny and aren't blue and pink at all! They look straight up green.
Posted on 9/29/2011
7/16" SF lava swirl plugs (pair)
These are beautiful, I wear them nearly every day. I think they're seconds because there isn't much red, but there are no other flaws and that's certainly not a flaw that matters to me.

Posted on 9/29/2011
2g DF black/pink flower shaped flare plugs (pair)
These plugs are so cute! The only thing that makes them blemished is that one flower is bigger than the other, but it doesn't bother me one bit! I'm sure no one will notice when I'm wearing them, unless they pay really close attention. I'm so happy with these! :)
Posted on 9/27/2011
2g SF lava swirl plugs (pair)
These were pretty good for 2nds. The swirl on one of the plugs was a bit more yellow than the other, and one wearable was longer than the other. Overall, really cute plugs!
Posted on 9/26/2011
0g DF Copper galaxy plugs (pair)
These plugs are absolutely stunning! They catch the light in interesting ways and really appear quite deep from the front. As for the flaws, there are a few tiny bubbles in each, but those are completely hidden when worn. Also, I was a pretty disappointed that they are single flares since they were marked as doubled flares. Still, they're a great-looking pair of plugs, and I would definitely order 2nds again (especially galaxies)!

Very cute, nothing functionally wrong. one of the swirls was a little wonky but I couldn't tell what was wrong with the other one. These are currently my go-to daily plug--nothing spectacularly flashy, subtle, but cute.

Absolutely gorgeous plugs! The back lips are uneven and probably don't even have a top lip its so small. they just kinda have a bottom lip, it makes for super easy insertion. Which doesn't bother me one bit! Thanks BAF!
Posted on 8/14/2011
00g/9mm DF Pyrex glass jellyfish plugs (Amber/purple on indigo sparkle)(pair)
The only blemish I can find on these is the jellies are slightly different sizes and the plugs themselves are the smallest "00g" I have ever seen. They're honestly a slightly big 0g. You can't see the jellies in ear unless you're really close, but they're still gorgeous little plugs.
Posted on 8/14/2011
1/2" DF Pyrex glass planet plugs (Pluto)(pair)
For blems/2nds these are really nice, ok so there is a bubble in one, no big deal, and the other the rear flare is slightly smaller than the front, no one notices! They are amazing quality aside from these 2 very small occurences. Overall and again, never unhappy with Bodyartforms.com!

These are gorgeous! I jumped that the chance to have them since they aren't normally in this size and the only flaw I noticed was a visible bubble, not that big of a deal.

00g/10mm DF Pyrex glass planet plugs (New Earth)(pair)
These are cool for 2nds. The gauge, flares and length all match. They are bluish in ear, which is fine with me.
Posted on 7/26/2011
2g DF Lotus flower glass plugs (Amber/purple and white)(pair)
I've been staring at these for a while, so it was exciting to see them at the reduced price in the 2nds "bin". The wearables don't match (one is a SLIGHT bit short, but not uncomfortable and the other is long), the flowers look different when held next to each other, and one flare is slightly larger than the other. They ARE 2nds, so I really didn't expect them to match much. However, the wearables don't bother me much and the flowers look basically the same from a distance, so it's not a problem, really. All flowers aren't exactly the same IRL, anyway. :)
Posted on 7/26/2011
2g SF blue/green swirl plugs(pair)
I'm really not sure what was wrong with these in the first place. I suppose one of the swirls isn't as clear as the other one, but it is by no means unclear. The color isn't as vibrant as I had expected, but I don't think that has anything to do with them being 2nds. One of the wearables MIGHT be slightly longer as well. I like these a lot. It's nice to have something interesting in my 3-piece-large SF collection when I can't wear DF for whatever reason. They're nice and comfy with adequate flares.
Posted on 7/25/2011
7/16" DF diamond/blue galaxy plugs (pair)
These are beautiful! My new favorite plugs. I'm not even sure what makes them seconds, except that they don't match each other perfectly, but they are glass so I would expect that in first quality plugs also. Very happy with my purchase.
Posted on 7/22/2011
1/2" DF Emerald Galaxy Plugs(pair)
These resembled the diamond/green much more than Emerald, but I'm more than happy- I love these. They're so pretty, and the 'flaw' that was in them was a sort of eye in the middle of the foil flecks. I love them!
Posted on 7/20/2011
0g DF diamond galaxy plugs(pair)
These are definitely seconds. One is a great deal shorter than the other, and had a great deal less sparkle. They are still very wearable and the price was great.

Love these! They are tiny and adorable! There seem to be no blemishes at all and the colour is quite true to the higher quality version. Great score from the 2nd/Blemished bin!
Posted on 7/19/2011
5/8" DF Pyrex glass jellyfish plugs (Amber/purple on indigo sparkle)(pair)
For the price, these are a good deal. Though, the colour is more green/blue than the higher quality pieces, they're pretty. The jellyfish is much more subtle and faint than the higher quality ones as well, but still pretty. Very few air bubbles, if at all. Definitely happy with them.
Posted on 7/19/2011
1/2" DF Pyrex Glass Borostone Plug(amber/purple)(pair)
I can definitely tell why these are seconds (one is almost a full size smaller, and the color is mostly brown) but I am still very happy with these plugs. They are smooth, comfortable, and beautiful, despite being different from the original product. Makes me want to buy some non-2nd borostone!
Posted on 7/19/2011
1/2" DF diamond/copper galaxy plugs (pair)
Pretty sure BAF had some trouble with sending out the wrong color galaxies from this 2nds section. I ordered diamond/copper and wound up with what appears to be emerald. Decided to keep them though, because Galaxies are gorgeous plugs, regardless of color, and you can't beat this price.
Posted on 7/19/2011
1/2" DF Pyrex glass planet plugs (New Earth)(pair)
For the life of me I can't find the SF version.. but still. These were awesome and I love them. I think the length is a little off but other than that the pair is super flawless.
Love them! Thank you again BAF.
Posted on 7/18/2011
5/8" DF Pyrex glass planet plugs (Pluto)(pair)
I was hoping with fingers crossed that they wouldn't be solid blue with no edge or variation... but that's exactly what they ended up being. Extremely dark, truly basically black in indoor lighting, BUT brilliant in sunlight. I heard "wah wah wah" play when I first opened the package but they've grown on me after seeing how they glow under the right lighting. Overall I'm a gamblin' kind of person and love growing my collection so I have no regrets. Keep the blemished bins coming, BAF!
Posted on 7/18/2011
5/8" DF Andromeda planet plugs (pair)
Yay blemished planets! Both are well crafted with minimal bubbles but you can tell they are subpar. One was very pretty and almost perfect while the other was solid, single color. I'm pretty pleased with them overall though, even if I do (most likely) purchase non-blemished Andromedas in the future. Very happy and I have no regrets on these! Thank, baf, for offering us the GWS blemished option!

4g DF Lotus flower glass plugs (Amber/purple and white)(pair)
I was so excited when I received these. When I opened up my package I could not believe how cute these were. I was amazed that these were seconds. These look perfect to me. What amazed me was the price. I just can't believe how good these cute flowers look. I absolutely love them.

I was worried about what might be wrong with these when I purchased these, but I'm happy that I decided to get them. The blemish is a streak of color and some indents on the backs. I obviously didn't buy these for the backs, so I'm really pleased with them. The fronts have some expected variations, but they look beautiful.

Really disappointed with these - they were described as SF, but they are DF - can't wear them. Have bought 2nds before and have been really happy with them in the past. Also the colour is more orange and black rather than red and black. Meh.
Posted on 7/15/2011

These are awesome! The bulbous front flare is a little unwieldy, but the tiny jellyfish inside is just gorgeous. I love the foil in the back too, it makes it look as if the jellyfish is swimming in sea sparkle. Really great plugs overall.

My pair were pretty nicked around the edges, the air bubbles were pretty extreme and the lengthes of the wearable areas were not matching but I still love these plugs! They are my go to for glass plugs on the go!

00g/9mm DF emerald foil plugs (pair)
These are one of my favorite pairs of plugs. Size and shape are a good match. The dichro on one plug looks like the color was "burned" a little around the edges but in ear it isn't noticeable at all. Great deal.

These are great! The foil is burnt around the edges of one plug, so it has less color than the other, but it's not very noticeable in-ear. I'm always very happy with GWS seconds at BAF.

very cute hearts, but not very visible due to being translucent.The only thing wrong with these is one is longer than the other. Other than that theyre perfect!
Posted on 2/20/2011
00g/9mm DF Pluto planets (pair)
I was a little surprised when I got these. They both look more like Earth or Andromeda planet plugs than Pluto, to me. They're blue but have some beige and green mixed in. They still look nice but I was hoping for some pretty blue plugs! That's alright. One seems slightly longer than the other but otherwise they're a good match.
Posted on 2/20/2011
00g/9mm SF pink galaxy plugs (pair)
These are very pretty, I'm glad I chose these. They're a little long but I'm not sure if they're usually made that way or not. In the 'galaxy' they seem to have empty centers where there's none of the glitter (hope that makes sense). I don't think this makes them look wrong or anything, but from looking at the product pictures of the galaxy plugs I think this is what their flaw is. Thanks BAF!

One wearable was a little shorter then the other but that didn't affect me at all. The swirls were perfectly matched and remind me of The Nightmare Before Christmas!

7/16" SF dark teal on black pebble plugs (pair)
Shape, flares and length of these are perfect and both match fine. Looks like the only issues are that the color is really dark and there sort of seems to be air trapped between the pebbles and the clear glass fronts, I'm not sure-it looks glittery in the light and I don't think pebble plugs usually have shimmer in them. I don't mind though, still look nice.
Posted on 2/15/2011

00g/9mm DF amber/purple lotus flower plugs (pair)
Very pretty and true to size. One has a half-circle as a center white dot and the other seems perfect. The amber/purple color is well-matched between plugs.

00g/9mm DF obsidian yellow with scarab shaped flare (pair)
I kept coming back to these in my wishlist, even though there were no photos I'm a huge Egyptophile and the idea of a scarab mystery plug was too much to bear. I have no regrets buying them, they exceeded my expectations! The flaw is a visible size difference between the two plugs in the pair, and I don't know if the very short wearable was intentional or a secondary flaw (though they're both the same length so I'm thinking the former). The description didn't mention the tantalizing sparkle in the fronts of the plug, and the obsidian/yellow is a fantastic blend that does remind me a bit of the shine on a beetle's carapace. I will definitely be back for more 2nd/Blemished pairs based on this experience. Thanks BAF!

00g/10mm green
I would not recommend these plugs at such a small size - you cannot see any of the detail. They really just look like black glass plugs.

00g/9mm DF tangerine candy plug (single)
These are great, only slightly blemished. Hardly noticeable. Very comfy.

1/2" DF pink/yellow foil squares (pair)
The foil in these is a little bit burnt, but the pattern is still visible and the glass is of good quality. Overall a good buy.

3/4" SF aqua/orange marbled plugs (pair)
I don't know what the flaw is with these, the fronts are pretty much identical and the wearable is too. The colours look great too, like a river through the desert.

3/4" DF Venus planet plugs (pair)
After reading all of the reviews for blemished pyrex plugs I started to worry about what I might receive. My order came in today and while I understand why they're considered blemished I absolutley love them. Both plugs are the same size, although one is light yellowish green in the middle while the other is darker forest green in the middle. The lighter one has scratches of black in the green and the darker one has scratches of a light yellow in it. They aren't complete oposites though, and they look as though they belong together. When the sun hits them they are quite beautiful! Even my mom complimented them (something she never does)! Way to go on a great order!

00g/9mm Single flare Lemon candy plugs (pair)
I like these a lot. When I thought of "lemon" I thought they were going to come out very bright yellow. They came out to a much more subtle color. They look similar to the discontinued lime foil plugs. I really like them a lot, they turned out to be a nice color.
Posted on 9/3/2010
0g SF diamond galaxy plugs (pair)
I have a couple of the Galaxy plugs and I really like them. When I saw these on the list, I went ahead and picked them up. When they showed up I couldn't see any blemish in the color or flare. The only thing I noticed different between them was that one was a little bit loner than the other. They were great for the price and would get them again in another color if they were to show up.

7/16" with clear colorfront (DOUBLE flare)
i got these hoping the wearable would be quite long as i intended on wearing one in my old tongue piercing, but i received a pair with a very short wearable. the front flares matched up well, and although the back flares were a little wonky these ended up working well for my inner conches because of the small back flares. i also wear jewellery on the smaller length for these specific piercings, so i found these plugs to be great. i wear them when i don't want to be bold. sometimes 2nds stuff works out quite well.
Posted on 8/3/2010
2g SF clear with red mushroom plugs (pair)
These are pretty, the flare magnifies the little mushroom inside. Theyre really more of a 1g. It took a LONG time to get them in (about 2 months), so I was a little disappointed. Not bad for the price. I dont know whats left in this bin, but be careful getting your hopes up.
Posted on 8/2/2010
7/16" SF emerald galaxy plugs (pair)
i wasn't sure about getting these when i saw them in the list. a lot of seconds galaxy stuff i had seen wasn't very nice, but i was very tempted, and ended up giving it a try. i'm glad i did. although they don't look as "deep" as my other galaxy plugs (i've got a diamond pair and a royal blue pair, not seconds however) the colour is consistent and reaches to the edge of both plugs. it is a wonderful bright green colour too, but only in proper lighting. they do seem a bit darker than my other pairs. besides that, the only thing i could see that would have made them seconds was that one of the plugs had a slightly larger dome front, and the back wasn't completely flat like its counterpart. but for seconds these are awesome. i'm very happy i took the chance. i love glasswear's galaxy line and they look great in large gauge inner conches.

00g/9mm Single flare Yellow FOIL plugs (pair)
I received blue foils by mistake, but they are lovely. BAF has amazing customer service and took care of everything promptly. The only flaw with the plugs is that the foil is burned on one plug, making it a much lighter blue. You can barely tell the difference in ear, though. I have never been disappointed with blemished plugs from BAF!
Posted on 7/23/2010
5/8" DF water pebble plug (single)
I bought blemished DF dark glitter ocean pebble plugs. They're really dark and the pebble design is clearly the blemish. The flares are pretty even and so are the wearable surfaces. They're pretty, but just too dark for my liking. Worth the price, though!
Posted on 7/8/2010
1/2" DF nebula planet plugs (pair)
These are my first pair of planet plugs, and now I want more! Really unique. Thanks, BAF!
Posted on 7/8/2010
1/2" DF bluemoon koosh (pair)
I love the bluemoon color in these, really cool plugs. The defect seems to be that the koosh is "choppier" than usual(?), but I think they might even look cooler that way. Great purchase.
Posted on 7/8/2010
1/2" DF rainbow foil (pair)
I love these so much, so glad I got them! I wouldn't say that they're rainbow-y exactly, but more of a sunset pattern, but the foil is so shiny and glowy in-ear. Thay are perfectly matched, the defect seems to be that one plug is slightly longer than the other. Well worth the price.
Posted on 7/5/2010
7/16" SF grape galaxy plugs (pair)
I leapt at the chance to finally get myself a pair of Galaxies-- One, they never have blemished pairs in my size, and two, since they are, in fact, blemished, that means they're also in my price range. The defect in mine is that the plugs don't match... at all, really, heh. One is a dark purple (the Galaxy-ness is a little hard to see in-ear), and the other is blue/green with the teensiest smidge of purple floating around in there. No matter, because they look tight anyway.

6g SF brown/teal swirl plugs (pair)
These are so pretty! I love the feel of them, they are very light! I didn't notice anything wrong with them!
Posted on 6/29/2010
2g DF black/pink flower shaped flare plugs (pair)
The only blemishes were on the black petals of the flower & they were just tiny holes i'm assuming from the glass being cooled too quickly or too low a temperature.
None, the less a steal for the price and i love them, you can hardly tell there is anything wrong with them unless you look very closely. althought a little smaller than a 2g, just have to wear a o-ring on the bag and no problems.
Posted on 6/26/2010
00g/9mm DF light sushi plugs (pair)
They are a little light and hard to see but still a great item for the price. i love 2nds!
Posted on 6/22/2010
3/4" DF very dark ultramarine blizzard plugs (pair)
I got these for my boyfriend and they are awesome! Wearing surface is great, and its not as dark as I was expecting. The color is beautiful!
Posted on 6/22/2010
0g DF moss pebble plugs (pair)
Both the flares and wearing surface on these are perfect! I tried to find the "flaw" in them but couldnt! I love them!
Posted on 6/15/2010
1/2" DF dark ultramarine blizzard plugs (pair)
Incredibly dark yet very pretty. The flares were a bit large but still easy to put in. these look best in the sun. inside they just seem like a very dark blue/black colorfront. which is okay just different.
Posted on 6/15/2010
7/16" DF diamond/blue galaxy plugs (pair)
Easily the most beautiful plugs i currently have. I get compliments everywhere i go. They fit perfectly and dont have a single flaw to them. YAY FOR 2NDS!
Posted on 6/14/2010
00g/9mm SF green foil plugs (pair)
These look great, almost better than first quality plugs! They are a nice green color in the center, and silvery around the outer edges. I love them!
Posted on 6/10/2010
00g/9mm DF blue/pink galaxy plugs (pair)
I'd been considering buying a pair of these for a while, so I'm glad I waited. These are not perfectly matched, but they're still beautiful and the price was fantastic as well. :)
Posted on 6/8/2010
9/16" DF pink with black pebbles plugs (pair)
The pebbles on one of these is slightly blurrier than the other, but other than that they are perfect. Great for being 2nds and great for the price.
Posted on 6/7/2010
1/2" DF pink galaxy plugs (pair)
WOW! These are my first GWS galaxies, but they will not be my last... They really are something to behold! The imperfection was that they are not the same length, but this should be undetectable in-ear.
Posted on 6/7/2010
2g SF amber-purple/yellow lotus flower shaped flare plugs (pair)
Got these as a gift for my friend who just got to her goal size. They are super cute and I think they'll look great on her. They aren't a perfect match, but they were a great deal!
Posted on 6/7/2010
1/2" DF amber-purple/pink lotus flower shaped flare plugs (pair)
I love these! I have been eying the lotus plugs for a while, so when I saw these, I had to scoop 'em up. I can't find a thing wrong with them, and I like that the centers are pink. Great summer earrings :)
Posted on 6/7/2010
6g SF amber heart shaped flare plugs (pair)
The hearts don't match perfectly, and the wearable is almost 1/2", but for $10, I couldn't pass them up! They're super cute and fun! Love them! :-D
Posted on 5/25/2010
7/16" Double flare Pluto planets (pair)
These have a really nice colouring - not the same as regular Plutos, but still pretty. Great for 2nds!
Posted on 5/25/2010
7/16" Double flare Earth planets (pair)
I liked these. They didn't look exactly like the earths I'm used to seeing, but I'm assuming it was the smaller size. Still had a great colour scheme. The flares were pretty small, something I couldn't get used to.
Posted on 3/4/2010
0g Double flare opal plug on black back (pair)
I got these as 2nds(Blemished) and I'm not too amazed by them.
The opal is EXTREMELY tiny and just sort of looked like a small crack on the inside of the plug. I wouldn't buy them again.

Oh so shiny and nice. Tons of compliments.

Very cute! The ends were a little long in the back, but for this price, I can't complain! Thanks BAF!

00g/9mm moss pebble plugs (DOUBLE flare)
Ehh. They're ok. They look cool but I think would have a greater visibility at a bigger size. Flares are huge!
Posted on 12/31/2009
00g/10mm Green oval plug DF 1/4" x 1/2" (pair)
Accidently bought the wrong size, thinking that these would be 1/2". But they fit quite well in my ears anyways.
They are a dark green, almost jade-ish but when the light hits them, they turn a really pretty green.
No blemishes except that one of the backflare are more round than oval.
Posted on 12/23/2009
00g/9mm Single flare Pink FOIL plugs (pair)
I LOVE these plugs! As always, I can't tell why they even were considered "blemished". I love these earrings so much! They look great for nice evenings out, but are casual enough to wear everyday, too. I'll definitely be ordering more blemished products because I'm still so impressed.
Posted on 12/22/2009
1/2" Fuschia galaxy plugs (DOUBLE flare)
Love the color, sad the pair is a pretty crappy match :(.
Posted on 12/17/2009
1/2" ocean sparkle colorfront
Awesome deal. I can hardly tell that these plugs are blemished/2nds other than a very slight difference in length.
Posted on 9/20/2009
5/8" Black oval plug DF 5/16" x 13/16" (pair)
These were a really good deal, I can barely even see the blemish, which is just a teeny tiny bubble!
Posted on 8/16/2009
00g/9mm blue/white swirl (DOUBLE flare)
These are so pretty! The white specs in the lapis part really looks like a snow blizzard! i didn't notice any blemish at all, these were great. however, by the time i got them, i had already stretched to a 10mm 00ga and now am past that to, but regardless, these are nice.
Posted on 7/10/2009
7/16" cherry red candy plugs (DOUBLE flare)
Although these were listed as blemished, one is a little shorter than the other, but that's expected obviously. In ear though, you can't even tell. The color is beautiful on these also.
Posted on 7/10/2009
00g/10mm Double flare Green FOIL plugs (pair)
For being blemished, they were actually quite pretty. They had the green foil color to the center of the plug with a blue foil effect on the edges. They look unique and are amazing in person.

1" Double Flare Nebula plugs
I absolutely love these plugs! I have been waiting to buy a pair of planet plugs forever. When I saw that you had blemished ones for sale, I just had to get them. They are so comfy and smooth. It doesn't look like anything is wrong with them at all. Thank you for the lightning fast shipping as always and pefect packaging.
Posted on 4/21/2009
Gauge purchased: 0g. Double flare opal plug on black back (pair). These plugs are not as amazing as I thought they would be. I really wish the opals were bigger. As for the blemished part, I really couldn't see anything wrong with them. I think I'll just wear them backwards as black colorfronts instead. Very good for the price!
Posted on 4/20/2009
Gauge purchased: 13/16" black. I bought these because they sounded interesting. The shipping was very fast even with basic mail; 2 days! When I got the plugs, there was nothing wrong with them; they matched perfectly. But, I understand why they were put in the blemished category because they are truly funky plugs. However, I like them alot. This was a good buy. Thanks BAF!
Posted on 3/25/2009
Gauge purchased: 9mm/00g Neptune. I asked for a picture of these on the boards before I purchased. The lightbox photo looked a little dark, but with the sale I decided it was worth it. Strangely enough, in real life they are MUCH brighter than the lightbox! The flares look good. I can't wait to be at this size to wear them. Good job BAF
Posted on 3/8/2009
Gauge purchased: 7/8". Awesome plugs. Look amazing. Flare is just the right size and fit good.
Posted on 2/13/2009
Gauge purchased: 0g Double flare opal plug on black back (pair)
These are gorgeous. They appear plain black, but sparkle when the opal catches the light.
No visible flaws, though the opal on one plug is very small, so doesn't catch the light as well.
Very good for the price.
Posted on 2/12/2009
Gauge purchased: 7/16". I got a pair each of Pluto and Earth planet plugs. The Earths are really great, they have a nice swirl of colours that stand out nicely. The Plutos are a pretty blue-green colour, but are really, really dark - they look black in-ear. Both pairs have a few air bubbles, which I don't mind. They're both spot-on gauge wise and have matching flares. I'm happy with my purchase.
Posted on 1/23/2009
Gauge purchased: 00ga Single Flare Nebula Planets
Having never owned a pair of glass plugs, I was near-insanely excited to find these at such a reasonable price! I knew they'd be lovely, but when I opened the little silver box they were in, my jaw dropped. These are SO PRETTY! Popped right in, no fuss. To be "seconds" I didn't find a single thing wrong with either of them. Add me among the ranks of more-than-pleasantly surprised customers. I LOVE them.

These earth plugs are gorgeous. The flaw is so minor that you'd have to study it to notice (One flare front is larger than the other and they are "slightly" under 0g according to the gauge card but fo rillz... they are just the loveliest glass plugs I've owned to date... can't wait to stretch up. For now, the go into my Hope To Make It to 0g Chest.

I couldn't be more happy with these plugs. I'm absolutely in love. The only small thing wrong with them is that one is slightly bigger then the other. Other then that they're perfect!

Gauge purchased: 1 1/8 moss pebble plugs. Each of these plugs was a totally different color, neither of which I would call moss. The sizes were correct. Even though they didn't match my boyfriend likes them a lot anyway.
Posted on 9/15/2008
Gauge purchased: 3/4" Blemished black on white pebbles. These were a pretty big disappointment... They came to me looking like COMPLETELY different plugs. One of them had really small pebbles, and the other one looked almost black. Made me sad...
Posted on 9/15/2008
Gauge purchased: 3/4" Blemished Emerald Galaxies. I Love These! The blemish was a little circle of no dichro in the middle of one plug, but that was a-ok with me! i love buying 2nds!
Posted on 9/11/2008
This is my second time buying blemished GWS plugs, and I'm still completely satisfied. I bought a pair of 7/16" silver foils and they're beautiful. The foil on one plug doesn't go all the way to the edges and they're longer than usual, but otherwise they're a great pair of plugs.
Posted on 8/22/2008
Gauge purchased: 7/8 Blue/Pink Galaxy plugs.
I ordered these last Friday and got it today (Friday). These plugs are amazing. More pinkish purple than blue, but its all good. I'm guessing the flaws are that theres white specks around the outter edge. Its no big deal tho. These plugs are beautiful.
sadly, I cannot yet wear them. I'm at 20mm so I just have a tiny bit to go. When I get them in I'll be sure to submit a photo. :)
Posted on 8/19/2008
Gauge purchased: 00g red blizzard, diamond galaxy. These have such a beautiful color and everything. No flaws that i can see on the actual piece. Just the lengths are off, and different. But that wont really matter in ear. The blizzard are like getting two plugs in one, and they are very pretty. The diamonds are definitely gorgeous and flawless. GWS makes amazing products, slightly flawed or not.
Posted on 8/19/2008
Gauge purchased: 7/16". I bought the diamond galaxies, and was slightly worried about the "blemished" part. I received perfect sized, same length, same flare size, gorgeous galaxies. I *think* the blemish is that the galaxy part if kind of swirly and doesn't meet up all the way, leaving a bit of a gap in sparkle, but it just adds character. I love these things!
Posted on 8/7/2008
Gauge purchased: 0g ultramarine blizzard plug
I still can't figure out why these are 2nds! They're gorgeous! The flares are a bit big, but I know they'll look wonderful when I can finally put them in. The color is really a really pretty blue and they are incredibly shiny!
Posted on 8/7/2008
Gauge purchased: 0g Ultramarine blizzard
The flare is great, the color is perfect.I don't know why these were classified as second.
Unfortunately ,in ears,unless looking right into them , they only look like clear plugs or blue.Not much "blizzard" effect.
I like them still and wear them constantly.
Posted on 7/29/2008
I purchased the 00g ultramarine blizzard. I can't even tell that these are seconds, they are just a little long, but for the price you can't beat it. I always get compliments on them whenever I wear them.
Posted on 7/5/2008
Gauge purchased: 0g red blizzard. For seconds they are great, I couldn't find anything wrong with them. The only thing I don't like is the color, it's more like a brown/red. Might try blizzards again, but not in the red.
Posted on 6/30/2008
Gauge purchased: 4g. I bought a pair of gray and black single flare swirl plugs some time ago. Overall I'm very pleased with them. The colors are slightly blurred together on one plug and there's a small bubble in the other, but the gauge is spot on and they still look awesome.
Posted on 6/11/2008
Bought a pair of 0g red blizzard (double flare).
B-e-a-utiful! Gorgous red colour and the flares are hardly noticeble. :)

Posted on 6/5/2008
3/4" green foil 2nds. I was a little disappointed with these. I've seen GWS 2nds before, and they usually aren't too bad, so I didn't think twice about buying these. The colour was gorgeous with blue and purple tones from different angles, but the plugs had very dense white cloudy rings around the edges. I didn't think this would be a problem, as I thought they might look kind of cool, but one was more dull than the other, and that one had a lot more whiteness, so a lot less colour was actually showing through as compared to the other. Even with the cloudiness, they could've been really nice had they matched a little more. They weren't exactly what I was expecting, but at least they were discounted. That isn't to say I wouldn't try buying 2nds again in the future, though :]
Posted on 6/5/2008
i ordered these in 9/16"...the only thing wrong with them is the koosh's don't match. i love them! i really don't care about them not matching. the flares are great! and i got them in 2 days! once again baf rocks my face.
Posted on 6/1/2008
i ordered 00g single flare black and red swirl plugs and they were a perfect match from what i can see. nothing noticeably wrong with them. thanks BAF!
Posted on 5/31/2008
Gauge purchased: 1/2 Aqua and Black swirls. Plugs were more like 12mm and one was longer than the other. Otherwise these were PERFECT.
Posted on 5/28/2008
I purchased copper galaxies in 3/4", and they're really nice. There's some strange marks on the inside, but I kind of like it that way :) thanks!
Posted on 5/27/2008
Gauge purchased: 15/16" bluemoon koosh
These plugs are cute! The koosh looks a bit smaller than the kooshes in the non-2nds plugs. One koosh is an opaque pale green-blue colour with a subtle pale mint "halo" around each blob of the koosh, while the other plug's koosh is a deep ultramarine blue with a cream coloured "halo" around each blob of the koosh. I actually really like the colour of the ultramarine koosh more than the other one. The wearable surface on these plugs are a bit shorter than my other GWS 2nds, but not by much.
Posted on 5/27/2008
Gauge purchased: 1" nebula planet plugs
The only thing "wrong" with these plugs is that they have mismatched front domes. The flat dome nebula is more blurred and spread out, while the rounded dome nebula is more compact and tidy. I like the opposing characteristics these plugs have. Honestly there isn't anything blemished with these plugs, I think they were singles that got paired together.
Posted on 5/27/2008
Gauge purchased: 1"
I purchased the neptune planet plugs. They are really interesting, with swirls of different shades of blue and a hint of yellow. The back of the plugs resembles amber/purple, but much deeper in tone. Both of the plugs are flat on the front and back. I can see why they are blemished as they are not well matched and one of the plugs is slightly longer and a bit uneven compared to the other one. These flaws don't affect the wearability of the plugs and I really like the patterns and variations in them.
Posted on 5/22/2008
Gauge purchased: 1/2" Lapis Blizzard
I'm so happy with the quality of these- blizzard is a perfect name for them as they really do resemble snowglobes or something similar. Mine were a beautiful blue with a powdery white colour inside, and flipped over they resembled sparkly colorfronts. Amazingly beautiful plugs for such a good price- the only problem being that one was quite off-gauge, but aside from that I have no complaints.
Posted on 5/21/2008
Gauge purchased: 1/2" Purple Galaxies
My blemished galaxies had slightly larger chunks of foil than usual, and the colour went from purple to silver and blue, which in my opinion makes them the nicest pair of galaxies that I own! They're stunning quality and amazingly beautiful. GWS 2nds rarely disappoint, I'm so happy with my galaxies.
Posted on 5/20/2008
Size purchased: 1-1/8" I recently purchased a pair of galaxies and love them and seeing galaxies here near my size I had to snag them. I knew they would be flawed so I was prepared for horrendous problems with them. The galaxy part doesn't go all the way to the edge but that is very minor. There is a crack on the wearable area tho. Honestly, even a defect such as this is no big deal. Wearing the jewelry thru earskins or regular kaos fixes the situation right up. The colors are very vibrant and quite three dimensional. I'm glad I snagged these up when I could.
Posted on 5/15/2008
Gauge purchased: 00g
I purchased 00g moss pebble plugs. The flares are a little off and one of them isn't perfectly round, but they're still gorgeous! It's a chance you take with buying seconds, but I've never really been disappointed.
Posted on 5/13/2008
Gauge purchased: 5/8ths
I got a pair of DF purple foils that were only 15 dollars!!! What a steal! I really like them a lot. The pair itself is flawless that I can tell in the shape and flare, they look perfect. In the foil part there is a gash in the one, not a crack, it looks like the stuff just split apart in making the jewelry or something, and the other has a slightly green tint. I really like how they both look and for 15 dollars they were GREAT plugs!
Posted on 5/11/2008
Gauge purchased: 8g. I always admired GWS fancy plugs and clicked on this link just to see what new stuff was added. I was completely shocked to see that there were 8g emerald dichro foils! They're amazing! One is a little more green and the dichro doesn't go the whole way to the end while the other is a little deeper, almost bluish green color. I LOVE them. I wish GWS wolud make more 8g dichro foils because I would definately be buying them!
Posted on 5/10/2008
Gauge purchased:00g pink foil dichro. These are very beautiful, with a hint of gold sparkle! The thing that sucks is, one of them is much bigger than the other (like .5mm) and also I am wearing them currently in my 0g lobes. So if you buy 2nds, be prepared for the gauge to vary!
Posted on 5/7/2008
i purchased a pair of 7/16" clear double flare colourfronts. the wearable area is a bit tiny, since i did intend on using one plug for my tongue piercing (this pair i am talking about was a backorder item i chose after what i originally wanted was out of stock), but for one of my lobe piercings and my conch they worked just fine. i'd say the wearable area was probably around 5/16", which for some people that is quite small. i prefer 3/8" myself at the least. the front flares were perfect, but the back flares were small and wonky. you could tell they were seconds, but these were pretty decent for seconds (my first experience with seconds wasn't so great). i'd recommend giving these guys a shot. i am also uploading a photo (excuse my poor damaged ex-stretched lobe hole).

Gauge purchased: 1"
I purchased the silver foil and pink foil dichro. I am very pleased with these. The only thing wrong with them is that the dichro doesn't go all the way to the edge or there's some warping, but I think it give the plugs themselves more character. Super good deal if you're not picky.

Gauge purchased: 5/8" Orange and black pebble plugs... I was so excited to get these and there amazing! i would say the only reason there 2nds is cuz there alittle long, but they still look great, some of the best 2nds i've got!

I bought DF blemished purple galaxies and I have to say that they are gorgeous. One of the plugs has an air bubble in the centre, but I think this makes them look better ^_^

I got the 1/2 inch black and red swirls. The swirls on the front are definitely noticeably flawed, but even though they aren't perfect they still look great, the sizes are right on, and the price was unbeatable.

I ordered the pink and blue galaxies and I am completely happy with them. I can't really find the flaw at all which is fantastic.

Gauge purchased: 7/8" and 1"
The grape galaxies are a very nice magenta colour. The only thing wrong with them is that the galaxy is off center in one of the plugs. The silver and pink-purple foil plugs don't have the dichro all the way to the edge and it's a bit wavy, but I like that, it adds character to them.

Got these to stretch my second lobe piercing with. Absolutely LOVE the red/orange/yellow spiral, very pretty. I couldn't find anything wrong with these, they were the right gauge, well matched... totally perfect! I was happy to find some in single flare too, since I could use them to stretch with. Horray for "blemished" (but not really) cheap plugs!!!

I got the black and white swirl and thought these were an awesome deal. I really couldn't find anything wrong with these, they were the right gauge, well matched... totally perfect!

I've found that single-flared Glasswear 2nds tend to be REALLY long. My SF 0g galaxy 2nds are almost 3/4" long total, and my 7/16" SF green foil 2nds are almost one inch long total. My ears only need 1/4" wearable surface, so these are ridiculous. It's sad, because they're so pretty. Anyway, expect some flaws (character!) and a loooong wearable surface.

I got the 7/16" silver galaxies. As stated, they had a far less striking galaxy effect, but I like them this way. With my other galaxies, I think it looks a bit like just glitter acrylic, kind of sparkle overkill. The effect of these is more subtle, reminds me of a little glass of mineral water! Very pretty, beautifully shaped, extremely comfortable. I'm happy I bought these.

How are these "seconds" ??? I got 0 gauge black & white spirals and they are PERFECT !!!!! Not one flaw that I can see ! They are light, beautiful and my new favorite plugs !!!!

I bought a pair of brown and white vertigo plugs in 2g, and I am so pleased. They only have small imperfections on one side, so if I wear them probably it does not even show. They look so fricken cool. Thanks, BAF!

I got moss and spore pebble plugs in 7/16'' and I LOVE them! Glasswear studios is absolutely amazing! The "flaw" on both is that one is longer... slightly. These are so smooth and beautiful. The spore ones are a very gorgeous blue and purple. BAF is so amazing for stocking these "2nds"

I've gotten two pairs of these; one pair of 00g DF red-on-white pebble plugs and one pair of 0g SF grape galaxies. I love them both! They're absolutely perfect, I have no idea what the flaws are supposed to be. I love BAF so much.

I got my 7/16" single flared purple galaxy plugs today and I couldn't be happier! I can't for the life of me figure out why these were considered seconds, they look perfect - one flare is a teensy bit smaller than the other, but you can't even tell (I just have a critical eye). I would have been just as happy if I had paid full price for there.

OMG! i looove BAF. you guys are simply amazing. i ordered the 1/2 white with black dots df plugs. and i just got them in the mail today. sooo cute! they dont have much wrong with them. one has only like. 5-6 dots. while the other has like 938249 dots. but they are still freggin cute as hell. the sizes are perfect, these are just too amazing. thank you baf! yay! money well spent!

I got the 0g double flare grape galaxies. One of them is absolutely perfect, the other has a *giant* air bubble/clear flake thing smack dab in the middle of it. I am not disappointed, infact when I opened it it made me laugh. I now have a unique grape galaxy with a supernova in the middle :) It doesn't look bad and with the right marketing it could even be desirable. That's what I love about seconds.

I ordered the only pair of SF "water" feather 2nds plugs in 0g that BAF had. They are by far the purchase I've been happiest with getting. They are absolutely GORGEOUS and the only "flaw" my sister and I found were 3 microscopic air bubbles toward the edge of the plugs. 1 on one and 2 on the other. And no one would evern notice them if they weren't looking for problems. I am in glass plug love.

i ordered the 1/2 moss pebble df plugs. they are deff 2nds. the dome on one was bigger than the other, and the flairs are all different. they are also more on the 12mm side. i'm kinda scared to wear them because they are kinda loose in my ears. plus its hard to see the pebble part because they are pretty long too. but i like them over all. thanks baf!

On a whim, I ordered a pair of 1/2 diamond galaxy 2nds. $20 was too good of a price to pass up even if my expectations were quite low. They arrived today and I am so pleased! They're "flawed" only because one plug is slightly longer than the other one so it's not even noticeable in the ear. My kid likes to say that I've got a snowstorm in my ears :).

I ordered the "gray" pair. They're not pebble plugs, just sorta like double flared color fronts. They're solid gray and very pretty. I'm satisifed and there's hardly any flaw. The pairs match and the only real flaw is it looks like someone touched the surface of each front of the plug with something, so it's smudged a bit. Great value.

I got the 0g red-on-white pebble plugs, and im overall pretty satisfied with them. they're well matched and look identical for the most part but they are definitely seconds. the pebble part is very 1-dimensional and a little disappointing. Theyre good for what they are though.

I got the 1/2 inch red pyrex pebble plugs. I looked several times and can't really tell a difference. They're really pretty and I can't wait to get them in! Thanks BAF for awesome stuff!

I got a pair of the 00g silver/green pebble plugs and although I know that they're 2nds, I'm still very disappointed. They are extremely mismatched to the point that they look like completely different plugs, and one isn' even "pebbled", it's just pebble-looking foil, not even green or silver in the slightest. They're great quality and the flares were a good size, but I'm still upset about these.

I got these in, 00g - moss/blue pebble. I always expect to see 'some' kind of thing 'wrong' as they ARE 2nds but am always impressed with the quality of glasswears stuff and the term '2nds' is a very relative term. This pair of plugs were perfect basiclly. The only 'faults' were that one plug is slightly longer than the other(totally unoticeable when wearing them) and the colors are slightly mooshed together (also totally unoticeable to people not knowing what you are wearing)but still noticeably beautiful. I have been told I have 'little worlds' inside my ears LOL :D
