It's water-based personal lubricant. People usually use it to make sex easier if there's a dryness problem. You can find it in any large grocery store or drug store near the condoms, which are usually near feminine hygiene products.Originally Posted by Ariel Starfish
What kind of product is it? Any link to where i can buy it?
Feel free to friend me on Facebook
I just did a two day event where I had to put the tail on and take it off at least 5 times a day. Water based lube with a spray bottle full if water is AMAZING for putting the full silicone ones on. Easier than putting it on in the water, so much easier I get the wrinkles out and straightened out front fins! I chopped my nails off to make sure I wouldn't hurt anything, which is important with full silicone. Have a towel on hand to dry your hands of to pull it up all the way and get wrinkles on the outside. You can also use the towel to gently pull up to get out the winkles if nails are a concern or if you just need more grip.
Iona- Did you use them separately or mix the lubricant with water in a spray bottle?
I put them on separately. I tried both ways, and I found that spraying the water on your legs then putting on the lube works better than putting on the lube then spraying. I had to do it so many times that that way just seemed to work better for me. Sometimes you dry out a bit while you're getting your feet in the footpockets or pulling up the tail, so you can spray more water on and it will remoisten the lube. I usually leave the very tops of my thighs and butt till last, just because by the time you put on and pull up the tail to the point where you need it there it's rubbed off and you have to reapply :P
Ah! Thank you, Iona! ^_^
Iona your signature! I expect a full report when you are rested, hahahaha <3
What Raina said!!!
Updates from Raven:
Also, their baby tail! The little stone is there for size comparison!
its SOOOO cute!!
I wish I was away in Ingo
Far away across the briny sea
Sailing over deepest waters
Where love nor care never trouble me
Looks like I missed all the fun again!And Isabela & Kakarotte ; thanks!
Raina: any news when Raven is working on my tail again? I know i'm bumped straight at the end of the line now, but I don't know any deadline etc.
Is Raven also doing LEDs on the tails? I remember seeing that update about her creating one, but there wasn't a success story or anymore photos. How did that go? Will she be selling tails with LEDs as an option?
Just a loner mermaid from the far edges of the sea. Don't mind me.
Aw, I wish I had a tail when I was little! That is one lucky merbaby :3
she believed she could, so she did
formerly known as Kalani
As far as I know she never had time to do a swim with it yet. She made it and got the pics and initial video of it lighting up, but then she was back to work on everyone else's orders. I'll ask thoughIs Raven also doing LEDs on the tails? I remember seeing that update about her creating one, but there wasn't a success story or anymore photos. How did that go? Will she be selling tails with LEDs as an option?
I feel like Raven needs a vacation to enjoy her own mer life

Ok , I know I'm whining and stuff... but I'm getting a little tail depression lately
Even last night I couldent sleep and only had thoughts about my tail; don't know if it's going to be alright, and thinking I may have it in september? and really EVERYONE is asking when i get 'the new tail) and it's hard for me to explane that my tail is still in the making, took apart etc). Couse i personal don't even know how far raven is atm. Even my grandparents are asking me every day when my tail gets shipped! They have a pool in their yard, and is YELLING to do mermaid tricks in it.
lol No but really, I'm having a bad feeling about it all
Not that i don't trust Raven or anything.
I know she's working hard and oing the best she can.
But one thing is bothering me;it seems like every week there is something new that's getting the front line instead of working on a tail (or mine) => mermaid bra's, loads of new products in the making. etc etc. and now i get the feeling I will never see my tail or she'll just send it out and what if i don't like the colors? I'm just so worried :'(
I almost feel bad that I asked to redo the seams in the first place! It was the first thing I saw when I got the pictures; a spot with one 'bited out' seam.
And I feld bad couse every other mermaid before me got a tail with hardly no seams at all.
And first of all: 1000 dollars is alot of money, so I expect to get what I payed for (NOT saying this in a rude way!)
Bassicly it's a gift from heaven that my parents even LET me spend all that money on 'just a tail'! So I just want it to be right
I don't want to go in a rugh argue or fight. I trust raven totally but I just got a though moment now
Anticipation can be a hope killer.
Untill 3 days ago I had pretty much given up hope that I would get a full silicone tail this year, even though I had been working my butt off. I even spent the money I earned to make a neoprene tail (which got a hole in it during my second swim ):<) so that I would still have one when I gave my other one away. The rest of the money-saving and campaigning i did went to my "AshesToIreland" fund for my Mom. While I'm glad that I've raised a good chunk of money for Mom, I was really depressed, because I had an ugly tail, had shrunk out of my other one, and it didn't look like I would be in a silicone tail until my kid was in school.
Then my husband told me one night that he'll make sure I get to order one by the end of the year. We had a long conversation about it, and he rekindled my hope.
And you've got a tail on the way!!
I wouldn't be worried. She'll fix that seam the best she can, and you'll have the nicest tail for miles, and be the envy of all the fishies.
And, to top it off, You'll Look Gorgeous!!
If I can have my hope rekindled, so can you. Have Faith!

wauw, thank you! <3
I feel kinda impatient, too, I haven't heard about my bracers in a pretty long while & my mom is wondering what's up. I've told her what's going on, but she still doesn't feel like waiting much longer. :\
You are more than Welcome, Starfish!
Uh-oh. Moms can be vicious when it comes to their kids. I hope you hear from Raven soon. I wouldn't want your mom to go all "Mama Bear" on her. That kind of thing is scary.
