Anyone heard or seen anything about these unique tails? They look pretty cool. I'm sure the quality could be improved with a little effort the buyers part but not a bad base to start with.

I must be a mermaid, Rango. I have no fear of depths and a great fear of shallow living.

So I ordered a tail off of a website called wish. My tail is very slimily except I have a basic mono fin. All I can say is that for the price it is great to start swimming in and get a feel for hat a fin feels like. Honestly though it is worth spending a little more and getting a tail from somewhere like Sundials or Magictails. They are better fabric and fit, etc.
I have one of these. Its ok. About the quality you'd expect. The monofin is just a piece of acrylic in a neoprene bag style thing like...um... fin fun, I think it is. The acrylic broke 20 min into my first swim with it. I replaced it with a cut to fit piece of office chair mat with the pokeys cut off and completely covered in duct tape. I also made duct tape booties for more control and then I put it all back in the cover. This is my practice/ fun tail. I really like it but I dont perform in it. The print looks really nice imo.Originally Posted by lynsea
They're cheap quality spandex. Another mer bought one and she had troubles with it quality wise.

Oh man..acrylic is a terrible idea inside of a tail, I don't know why they thought that would be a good idea

Okay, I am finally on my laptop instead of my phone. I have one of their tails. It's a clear, flexible insert like you'd find in the older Finfun mermaid tails. I'd say if you like that tail and order it - if you have any sort of crafting skills, cut out a new one. The neoprene surrounding the insert isn't bad and well sewn. The tail skin I have isn't bad. It's on par with some of the bathing suits I own from department stores. It does come with a bathing suit top - but the top is a tied bando style. I happen to like mine, but if I wanted to make it better, I will have to make a new insert. I paid 101.95 for mine. So, it's on the cheaper side. And, if anyone needs the info - the brand is Mermaker. They originally are from taobao (Chinese shopping site).
I'm thinking of taking some plastic and making a new insert - but here's a picture of mine so you can see one on and not in a photoshopped image.
It bugs me alot that the monofin part of the tail is quite small. I would expect that for a child size tail, but not on an adult.Okay, I am finally on my laptop instead of my phone.
