I was stuck between two sizes as well due to the butt. They recommended the smaller one cause of my waist size so it wouldn't be baggy and would stay up. They did say the fabric does have some stretch. Not sure how big of a difference your measurements are but I would actually go for a small if you're that waist size.
I'm going to be using my wave
I already have a cut Competitor that I’ve been trying to think of a tailskin for, and this is far too tempting.
I’ve wanted to make my own, but my last few have been flops at best and I’m absurdly indecisive.
Mer for over 5 years and I’m only just now figuring out my color scheme, let alone what type or tail I’ll be.

Twilight darkens, yet there in the shade,
Lies a glimmering shadow, the wild mermaid;
As night draws ever closer, there's a choice to be made--
Will you stay as you are, or be delivered to the waves?

I'm still on the fence about what monofin to buy for my tail. I can't remember all of the ones that Finfolk confirmed would work, and I wish they'd give confirmation on whether or not the Mahina would work. (I really want a Mahina, lol.)

Omg I love that pink color!!! Looks amazing
They won't confirm or deny the Mahina because the Mahina people don't want their fins in fabric tails. Once people actually have the tails I'm sure they'll test lota of monofins and give feedback.
What is the difference between mahina and other monofins?
After I bought my fabric tail I took out my Mahina and measured it to compare the measurements to the ones given in the tail description. From my measurements, I think all worked except I think the end width - which makes sense because the Mahina's fin tips flair out really far. Many people have trimmed the ends of their Mahina to make it fit better into tails. I cut on the foot pockets of mine to make it fit my feet better so I can say first hand that they are easy to trim. Once I get the tail in I will put my Mahina inside to see how it fits. I'm personally not going to cut the ends of my Mahina, but I may consider buying a second Mahina to cut for the tail. The issue I have with the Mahina is it REALLY hurts my feet. Everything else about the monofin is amazing, but comfort is not so good. I recommend going a size up. I bought a medium and wish I would have bought a large because I don't really have space in the pockets for wearing neoprene socks - which will help keep you from getting blisters from the monofin.
The Mahina is a very large monofin and unlike most large monofins, it isn't super stiff. Instead, it has just the perfect amount of stiffness and floppiness to it. It is made of rubber and it is all one mold so the foot straps are completely part of the fin. These days there are different mermaid-y shaped monofins on the market, but not too long ago the Mahina was about the only mermaid shaped monofin on the market - another reason why it has been so popular. I would say that the Mahina feels less clunky in the water. You feel more graceful because it flows so well underwater. If you swim a few laps in a stiffer fin, say a Finis Rapid, then switch to the Mahina, you will notice a difference.
I have a Finis Rapid (confirmed to fit in the Finfolk fabric tail) and a Mahina monofin so when I get my tail I will let you all know how those monofins are. The only concern I have with my Rapid is the strap clips on the side stick out a lot so that might detract from the look of the tail. That is one of the pros to getting one of the monofins Finfolk recommend for this tail - both fins they recommend won't have that ankle bulge.

*nasally nerdy voice* um ACTUALLY Mahina now works in conjunction with some fabric tail companies to start selling tails with the Mahina on strong reccomendation that they are for adults only. Hense the "pro" line of tails from both Magictail and Swimtails.

I would be curious as to hear your opinion of the two. I feel like my monofin is too stiff and it doesn't feel easy to swim in. Is the mahina meant for more experienced swimmers?
I wouldn't say so. I use a mahina, and it's my first fin.
how do you like it? Swim easy and graceful?
Oh, its just wonderful. I love it! Its flowy, but has pretty good(?) propulsion, and it feels great.
Hey there guys! I just want to happily say that I'll be getting a finfolk fabric tail too. My secret santa sent me a Golden Fin Ticket from finfolk!!!!! I plan on getting the Island Iris tail. I'm so happy!!!! Especially after selling my silicone tail.
