I like the significant gauge for the septum, which I wear with a Kaos skin and regular rings or just eyelets screwed to the back. I have small round nostrils, so for the hide, the wearing area is often too large, and it obstructs my breathing enough to not wear it. I tried the septum plug, but to insert it, the flares have to be small, so it falls out easily. It's not easy to work with pyrex. 6 gauge, it starts to be big to be "small". So I asked for 1/4 of wearing area or as close as possible to that... Really, it was done at 1/4, I almost forget it and it stays in place. Very, very happy!

I wear skins very often and a septum is not a lobe, it's stiff. So for the skin to remain round, it's necessary to slightly exceed the final gauge. Normally with a lobe we just have to carry a heavier plug every now and then. But for a 4 gauge septum, it's very difficult to find a fairly heavy piece of jewelry without flairs that doesn't literally block the nostrils ... I have a small space between the nostrils and for this type of jewelry the sides can take up a lot of space , therefore, I requested the smallest possible portability space (1/4), The result is particularly successful; I breathe easily and it's perfect hide. A big thank you!!

This has got to be my favorite septum jewelry!!

I love this retainer, I expected it to be a bit darker but turns out I actually love the color. I am able to flip it up and it does not hang low, which I love. Since my septum was a little bit smaller than 6g (due to the size of my previous septum jewelry) it was a bit painful to put it in & out but it is starting to become easier! Also there is no cheesy smell. None at all and pretty much every single piece of jewlery I ever used left me with that smell. Anyways great piece, I mean the BEST PIECE EVER. Ohh yes and shipping took a little longer than all my other pre orders but who cares with a piece like this! Me love!!!

I pre-ordered this Septum Retainer in 10g with a 1/4" width in the "Translucent Purple" Color, and all I can say is, "... it was worth the wait!" I've recently returned to wearing glass in my Septum piercing because it doesn't seem to pick up the weird odors that ordinary materials do ... i.e., stainless steel, etc. However, to avoid any problems with improper fit which could possibly result in the retainer falling out, I've found it best to pre-order them in the exact gauge and width I need. What I like about the "Translucent Purple" color I chose is the fact that it's subtle ... with just a "tint" of light purple, which goes well with the rest of my piercings that are predominately in shades of pink or purple. As always, BAF ships out promptly and always packs a delicate item correctly ... in a box vs. a crushable envelope that the postal system can "destroy in seconds". Thanks, BAF ... you know you've got a "lifetime member" in me!

wasnt too happy with this piece. gws didnt make it to the specs id asked for and wasnt til i recieved the piece that i was informed they wouldnt be able to make it with a 6mm wearable like i had asked for so its uncomfortable to wear. dissapointing as ive always used gws in my septum.

This item is well-made and completely clear. However, I was hoping that I might be able to tuck it up into my nostrils or that it might be hard-to-see for professional purposes -- it is suitable for neither purpose. The placement of my piercing makes the first impossible and it kind of glimmers in any light, so that it is still noticeable.

Took a bit to get here but it was totally worth the wait. I ordered mine in purple and i'm quite happy with it! The glass feels really comfortable in my septum piercing.

in all honesty it seems gws is very hit or miss and despite it being a pre order, it was a very big miss. very uneven, very large and misshapen, and I don't think I'm even going to wear it. the picture given did not represent the product I got. unfortunately thumbs down but I've had better luck with their tunnel pieces.
