Hey Everyone,

So I recently ordered and received a full basic silicone tail from the Mertailor. Bc of the type of tail it is and the way it was made, there is no drainage added to prevent the water from collecting in it.

My question: Does anyone have some good advice as to how I could add some drainage to the tail without destroying it?
I have emailed the mertailor company, but am waiting on a reply from them. They're a busy company so that is expected. But in the meantime, I thought I would see if any of you might have some sage advice or tips I could use.
Thank you in advance for the help. :)

Have you swam in it yet? I dont think ive seen an issue with drainage in other mertailor basics. it might not need it!

Yes, I have swam in it. The water collects in it around my calves and ankles, and causes a lot of extra weight and difficulty swimming. I could barely drag myself from the water, nor could I lift my legs and tail up off the ground.
