Thread: Greetings from the South

    Greetings from the South

    Hello fellow mermaids!
    I'm feeling a bit like a fish out of water here but I guess I'll just jump right in. I've wanted to be a mermaid since I knew what one was. I was obsessed with The Little Mermaid when I was a kid and it still holds a dear place in my heart. I've known that swimmable mermaid tails were a thing for maybe three years but I never had the courage to get one until recently. I got my first tail from Suntails as well as a monofin from Fin Fun about 3 weeks ago. Going out in my tail has honestly been a huge step for me as I'm really introverted and anxious. I'm the only mermaid I know so that's why I'm here. I'm still figuring out how to work this site so if you have any tips, let me know.

    Hi. Congratulations on your new mermaid tail! Suntails are so cool looking. Have you swam in it a lot?

    Thank you! Yeah, I've used it in a pool, a lake, and today I went to the beach. I love it so much! I was going to get a fin fun tail but I liked the Sun tail design more. I have the Sun tail monofin and a fin fun monofin.

    Wow that's so cool!! Where was your favorite place to swim? Which monofin do you prefer? Which Sun tail design did you get?

    Yeah! I loved the lake because I didn't have to deal with salt or chlorine. I also didn't have to worry about scratching it. I really like both monofins. The Sun tail is stronger but the fin fun stays on better. I have pathetically small feet so I have a hard time staying in the monofin. I'm working on figuring out how to fix that. I have some ideas. I got the Sea Monster tail. (It's in my profile pictire.) I love it so much!

    Ok cool! It's always interesting to hear people's experiences and perspectives. Your mermaid tail is so pretty! I think I might be getting a Sun tail too now that I think about it, so it's nice to know the monofin works nicely. What are some of the ideas you have to make it fit better?

    Thank you! Yeah, they have a lot of pretty ones and I'd highly recommend them. I'm going to try putting the straps in different places. I might get neoprene socks. I may put something in it to keep it from slipping. I haven't tried it yet but those are my ideas.
