Tail Testers Needed!

I'm glad Wesley!

Also Application cut off is 12am PST on Jan 1st. New Years!

Oooh, I am very interested in the silicone tails :) Sign me up for that hehe

Hehe! I'm trying to get this process going! I'm chomping at the bit as much as you all are, haha.

I got my neoprene samples. The quality of the neoprene is good! It stretches alright one way and very well the other BUT it always snaps back to it's original shape, which is what I want. However they did not include the color that I am looking to order x.x

I would love to try this but I live almost on the other side of the world... We do have a posting place in America though...

I swim in a fresh water (drink able too) river and two kinds of pools, a chlorinated pool and a pool which uses only filters. I swim in the river in the summer once we have had two days of heat and the chlorinated pool almost once a week or when ever I go into town. And the pool which only filters when it's hot (as it has no heating and the room is build like a glass house to make it's own heat) and I'm staying with a friend.

I have a odd body shape so I guess that would help you, I have a tiny waist, larger thighs then my knees and ankles are super skinny.

So news haha.

Turns out to ship the neoprene itself would be more expensive then actually buying the amount of neoprene I want x.x

So trying to find another place to get it. Wish me luck!

Rivermermaid if you could fill out the form that would be great!

Anything further on this project? [emoji4]

Trying to find Neoprene that would keep the prices low. It's hard finding that. We might have found something but they dont send samples so it might be a bit of a gamble.

Idk if this is still happening but I tried emailing a few months ago and never heard anything

Hi Mermaid Pearl. She was just taking applications early. She won't actually pick her testers for some time yet. At last update she had some trouble with the neoprene samples she ordered and is currently hunting up a new supplier. Hope this helps!

Thanks Luna, that's exactly it. Because we are still looking for neoprene that will keep the prices low but would be good quality the picking of the testers is on hold. When we do get the correct material in, we will be picking testers then because we will want to know how the fabric works in say, salt water tropical areas and cold winter areas with only chlorinated pools. FOR EXAMPLE.

So stay tuned. I will update when I have updates!

Update!

Swatches from another company have been ordered! Hopefully this is will work a bit better! They should arrive in 15 business days (silly shipping to canada!)

Excited to see this project in action!

Thanks Kalani! It's taking a long time but I want to make sure my product works and is thoroughly tested before I start selling.

hey congrats on new samples coming took me a year to get my latex tail going and now about done

Thanks Merstorm! Congrats on your almost finished tail!

Fabric samples came in. One is a good maybe. It's thick but not super thick and stretches nicely. It's not bulky or buoyant like Neoprene but I need to find some way to make it so that the wears legs and ankles aren't super noticeable. I have ideas. Will be ordering enough fabric to make two tails after ECCC.

Ehhhh after thinking hard about my last post, the neoprene I wanted to use isn't that much of a stretch in price and if I order less then I was first intending then maybe the shipping wont be so high. Hang tight again fishes. Gonna get an update on neoprene prices and shipping and see if I can make this work.

What is the price difference and what would work best for swimming

Did my application ever go through I messaged it to you I was just curious

Good luck finding your neoprene!
