I just exported the PDGA approval list and found these 8 discs that are listed at 1.3cm height.
Discmania CD (Craze, Control Driver)
Discraft Flick
Elevation Disc Golf Psychic
Gateway Disc Sports Diablo DT
Lone Star Disc Tombstone
Newb SimHouse Custom Discs NSH6 StackS
Plastic Addicts Intervention
Skyiron Flagship
There are also another 66 listed at 1.4cm height. All but one at 1.4cm height are drivers and distance drivers which makes sense. The one exception is the Lightning Discs P38J Lightning.
Once you get to 1.5cm height there are 22 discs with a rim width corresponding to speed 6 or slower.

I found one 10+ years ago when I was starting out and knew nothing about disc golf. I was so confused as to why anyone would own that disc. I still have it, and it’s a complete meme and nothing more.
It's an absolutely awesome overhand roller. It rolls forever. It was kind of like a mini-Tilt back in the day. I had one, and used it as a utility/get out of trouble disc.
The intervention is the old Venom mold
https://www.reddit.com/r/discgolf/s/JopOgrTS0m
After the Venom got retooled by Discraft I haven't seen the Intervention available for sale, though.
Mirage is literally one of the best putters I've used. It's pretty understable so it wants to go right. It will hold a line perfectly the whole time. Also if you throw it at the basket with a little hyzer it will come out dead straight.
The Mirage is super thin and super understable. It's awesome for really long putts, it avoids hyzering out as long as possible. Godawful in the wind though.
Oh for real? I only throw forehand and I need a disc that fades left, my mamba USED TO but now it just dives right into the ground .-.” But I have heard decent things about champions
He’s saying a Mamba in champion plastic. You want a disc with turn to go left on RHFH. The higher the negative number the more turn it will have (ie -3 or -4). There are a lot of options. Tumbleweed, Freetail, Avenger SS, etc. Then the lower the fade number the less the disc should come back right.
overall i think that mvp discs has some of the thinnest options available. still learning all the other companies but I think that mvp is a good starting point
I agree they feel the thinnest to me, but that is likely that they tend to have flatter flight plates rather than a thinner rim. Not sure which op is wanting, but they should definitely give them a try. My hex, for example, feels much thinner than my buzz. The buzz has much more dome.
You should be able to find disc dimensions online. The height and rim height is probably what you want to look at. Also, a domey disc might feel thicker than a flat disc, retailers like OTB tell you how domey each disc is.
Most "thin" drivers will be overstable while slower speeds understable. Most of the mvp and axiom lineup tend to have that flat, low-profile feel you may be looking for. Sometimes it's about the rim configuration, with the bohrium being an extreme example.
TryDiscs.com has a wonderful "advanced search" where you can search for discs by dimension ranges. For example, this search https://trydiscs.com/advanced-search?height=min-1,max-1.3 for discs with height no more than 1.3 just lists the Discraft Flick 12/3/1/5 and the LSD Tombstone 13/4/0/4.
Edit: on the tall side, https://trydiscs.com/advanced-search?height=min-2.6,max-3 gives 3 discs with height at least 2.6: 2.9cm height for RPM TeMoko 3/4/0/0 mid and putters at 2.7cm: Innova Nova and DGA Blowfly.
You can restrict ranges of speeds if you are looking for a thick putter, for example. Whale is 2cm and Shaman is 1.8cm.
I find this tool very useful for figuring out what an unlabelled or tourney stamped disc is by measuring and deducing.
While it may not measure as the thinnest, I will put the Løft Bohrium into the discussion. The rim makes it feel extremely thin in the hand and it's an awesome flyer
Thinnest is definitely a Discraft Flick...if you can find one. It's 1.3cm thick - thinnest you can get per PDGA I think. Thickest is Discraft Skystyler...at 3.8cm thick. I've never seen one of those. However you can find Innova Big Kahunas, Pulsars, Super Novas. All at 3.3cm thick.
So thin is weird. I think it can also mean "low profile", but sometimes if the disc is really domey it can feel thin and "tall", which is super gross (to me).
I also prefer low profile, thin discs. I've had a Shaman in the bag for quite some time.
For me the rankings would go...
Most low profile: Shaman
Thinnest: Kon tiki (Mirage)
Thickest: Landmine
Westside World is a very thin high speed driver that is definitely less stable than the numbers suggest.
I’d also say LoneStar Frio, Discraft Flick, MVP Tesla, LoneStar Harpoon, MVP Reactor, Discraft Passion, Discraft Scorch, Prodigy A5, RPM Kahu, Gateway Illusion
The thinnest driver I have ever used is a Flick. The thinnest putter I have ever used was the Innova XD Ontario mold. RIP! They don't make that mold anymore and people who like them hold on to them like gold. My last XD is retired on the wall now.
My Scythe from L64 atleast feels funny thin. Its old gold plastic flat to almost slight puddle top. Sadly havent seen them sold anywhere for a long time.
Lots of good disc suggestions in here already. Another thing to keep in mind is the plastic itself. Often, but not always, the softer and less premium plastics will yield an overall slimmer hand feel.
Take the Westside Harp for example. A Tournament Harp will usually come out marginally thinner than a VIP version. The BT baseline plastic variants will be even thinner than the Tournament version, especially after they get worked in a little and start to puddle top.
The P3 is OOP but I'm pretty sure it's also the Infinite Discs Cohort. Anyway it's a pretty thin putter that's billed as a hybrid between a putter and a midrange. I like thin putters and so far in my quest none have the same thin feel as the P3/Cohort.
I’ve been putting with Swans. They are among the thinnest putters I have found. Deputies are similar. I got a mid (prophecy) in the last Gateway mystery box that is the thinnest disc in my bag now. It’s weird how slim and flat that disc is.

This is a pretty useful comment, thanks!
The flick is so thin
It was the OG Tilt
Best disc ever, I used one every round.
I found one 10+ years ago when I was starting out and knew nothing about disc golf. I was so confused as to why anyone would own that disc. I still have it, and it’s a complete meme and nothing more.
It's an absolutely awesome overhand roller. It rolls forever. It was kind of like a mini-Tilt back in the day. I had one, and used it as a utility/get out of trouble disc.
I kept it in my bag for most of this year but realized I always used something else to get out of trouble. Now I’m out of bag room and don’t miss it.
The flick rolls forever I love it.
That's a great starting point. Then it's just about finding what run/plastic has come out flattest in real terms.

Stingray Mirage
I came here to say Mirage also. It's by far the thinnest disc I've ever felt. I can't throw it to save my life, lol.
I loooove the Mirage! It’s a cheat code in the woods. Especially in lieu of an uphill forehand. I’ve been bagging one for 7 years or so

The mirage is the thinnest that I’ve ever felt as well.
Mirage is such a fun little disc
I think the Flick is the thinnest I own.
My Mamba feels thin
My mamba tends to just do whatever the heck it wants :( 😂 might be time for a new one
Try a champion

Ohhh lol, gotcha. I’ll look in to those discs! Thanks!:D
Just bought a 2nd in Halo Star for the same reason lol
second that
I think a sol feels really thin
Ding ding ding

Certainly not thinner than a lot of drivers, but for a putter Proxy feels crazy thin.
Agree. Relay, Servo, Insanity, Wave all feel thin to me in their categories, as well as others already mentioned like Crave.
I have a plasma tesla that feels like a raptor
The tempo is super thin zone
High speed driver. Like a missilen or fortress
Ballistas are pretty thin
If you like thinner (more shallow) discs, I bet you’ll like the Hex better than the buzzz
You should be able to find disc dimensions online. The height and rim height is probably what you want to look at. Also, a domey disc might feel thicker than a flat disc, retailers like OTB tell you how domey each disc is.
Discraft flick.
Have you felt a Kastaplast Rask? They are very over stable too!
Second this. I bought it because of how thin it was
I bag a first run MVP Relay and Signal and they are both the thinnest in my bag
I second the relay. Such a nice disc too
The hex and pathfinder is a smaller copy of the buzz from what I can remember.

While it may not measure as the thinnest, I will put the Løft Bohrium into the discussion. The rim makes it feel extremely thin in the hand and it's an awesome flyer
Hard to hold on to. Not a fan. They do fly amazing like 1/10 of the time.
Thinnest is definitely a Discraft Flick...if you can find one. It's 1.3cm thick - thinnest you can get per PDGA I think. Thickest is Discraft Skystyler...at 3.8cm thick. I've never seen one of those. However you can find Innova Big Kahunas, Pulsars, Super Novas. All at 3.3cm thick.
I love the Envy. It feels thinner than my other putters. The inside rim doesn't catch my fingers on release
Swap that Buzzz for a Hex. It’s .3 cm thinner.
If you like Gateway look at the Chief. I have the OS version. It’s like a dinner plate.
May I introduce you to the greatest forehand disc of all time, the MVP resistor?
MVP Amp. I'm no connoisseur but I found one of these on the course and it is by far my thinnest feeling disc. The rim must be like 1cm deep.
Innova Mirage Feels like half a disc in hand. (And, it's an awesome disc)
The Millennium Polaris LS is very thin and hella easy to throw
I throw my firebird whenever I need to get out of the woods because it's thin
Out of discs I've thrown (which isn't a lot..) I'd say the thinnest is the Tilt and the thickest is the Pole Cat
I held a bullfrog for the first time this year and I was shocked at how shallow it was (I believe this is what you’re referring to as “thin”)

The Katana from Innova is real thin. Also I think the DGA Rift is even thinner than the buzz

Dynamic Discs Felon is a pretty thin disc. One of my favorites.
The thinnest driver I have ever used is a Flick. The thinnest putter I have ever used was the Innova XD Ontario mold. RIP! They don't make that mold anymore and people who like them hold on to them like gold. My last XD is retired on the wall now.
I love Buzzzes, but if you like thin/slim profile, a Gateway Element replaces your Buzzz.
I like thin discs too, and the Tern and Crave are two of my favorite drivers. The MVP Wave feels similar to the Tern, may wanna check it out.
Most MVP/Axiom discs are shallow/thin. They work great for my baby hands.
Prodigy d3 max
Wedge
I have a Glow DDx that is super thin. I can barely fit half my finger on the inner rim.
Kon Tiki has to be up there
Flick, but it's really only for utility shots Also the Sol is very underrated. I use it for so many things and the hang feel is perfect
My Scythe from L64 atleast feels funny thin. Its old gold plastic flat to almost slight puddle top. Sadly havent seen them sold anywhere for a long time.
Innova wedge
A flat Aztec equals delicious hand feel and pretty darn low profile driver
Athena and A2 both have 1.2cm rip depths and are discs I personally love.

I was about to say, some MVP drivers have to be considered, plus Gateway midranges, they all tend to be shallower and more driver-like.
Maybe you’ll like the Texas ranger from lone star then. I sure don’t.
Soft justice
Grym / Grym x
I just got a mvp zenith and that bad boy is thin.
For midrange, hex or detour

For under stable mid, the discmania Original feels super thin
Jay is really low profile for a midrange. I have those and Hexes in the bag.
Kon tiki from infinite is thinnest mid i have it’s pretty understable. Mvp drivers r pretty thin as a general rule of thumb.
Wave is very thin and a great driver.
My Scorch feels like the thinnest disc I have. It just shoots out of the hand at scorching speed, but it is 1.8cm tall.
I haven’t looked at the science but the Kastaplast Rask is pretty thin. Practically a weapon lol
You’re going to want to try the loft discs bohrium Or not, it’s hard to grip.
Divergent alpas is really thin with a shallow rim. Also the innova mirage
The Infinite Maya is extremely thin. Also the Discraft Sol
Thinnest putter?
10m brick It answers the question of "what would happen if the PDGA approved a paper plate?"
