Why are they so thin compared to the original glasses?

Maybe it depends on which glasses you bought. I have tumblers which don't seem thinner than the ones I bought about 10 years ago.

It is probably the weight. The old ones felt heavier than these. The change to the new Diamax material is probably the cause.

No they are not thin at all..They are perfect thickness. Not too thin or thick.. Love these glasses..

After more than a year of searching I finally found these glasses (on sale) at Macy's. I have used this style of glass as my everyday glasses for over 20 years and was down to only a few left in both the taller and the "rocks" size. In past years Macy's would advertise them a few times a year and they would be available most of the time but recently they were nowhere to be found. The internet presented another problem in availability, priced up to 3 times normal, and orders cancelled. I think the new ones are exactly the same as my originals. I have a very hard time figuring out which are the old ones. I bought 8 new in each size so I won't have to search for a long time.

We don't notice any difference between the new ones we bought and the old ones we still have.

Not certain. Gave them as Christmas gifts. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful. I can say that the people I gave them to really seem to like the glasses.

Yes. They're not as thick and they're somewhat... cheesy in appearance when compared to the original ones, but it won't affect the functionality of the lights at all.

They are slightly opaque, I suppose, due to the fact that they are a more pliable plastic. Truly clear containers are stiffer and more easily cracked or split.

I, too notice a difference in the Cristal D'Arques product(s) I most recently ordered - in comparison to those I purchased nearly 30 years ago. The new (Diamax) glasses appear clearer and lighter in weight. They definitely are not "crystal" .

Yes it is really thin. Why didn't I think of that!? I bought them for something else but have extras.

They seem a bit more bendy than a bank/credit card and so they are probably just a tad thinner. These are more like what you would get as a Sam's club member, or some student IDs use these. Hope that helps!

There are slight differences in the shape and actual glass clarity. My originals are a slightly amber color and the new are very clear glass. Also I think that the new break easier than my originals and the logo print is not the same.

No they are not the same. The Magnifier makes thin hair more manigible and fuller.

They are fairly thin. Not like the thicker ones, these can get crispy and snap like thinner ones do.

Bought two glass just in case.. sure enough, the generic glass fits. However, they crack so easily. With out much pressure, it cracked into big shards of glass. They are not as strong as the original Samsung glass which cost 50 or so dollars.

No they aren't. This would normally bother me but not in this case. I love these glasses.

My daughter uses them over hers. They are like the ones you get in a 3d movie. The bigger ones would probably fit best. They are like junky ray bans size

They are clear. From a few feet away its actually hard to tell the difference between these and our actual glass version. We have these for outdoor....

I also don't like thick rim glasses and I happen to love these. they qualify as thin to me, but it depends how thin rimmed you're wanting. They are not like wine glass thin. If that's what you're going for I'd suggest getting some good quality stemless wine glasses.

I Googled it and found what Steve shows below. I suggest stopping at or calling Bed, Bath and Beyond (or similar store) and check the box. I no longer have mine but I do like these glasses. Hope this helps.

Unless you guzzle OJ, I'd recommend the smaller version, which is what we use. Either way, they're great glasses!
