    Each type of tail has their pro's and con's, maybe looking through the site and reading up on costs/wear and tear on both types of tails as it has been written about numerous times.

    I don't think I understand what you're trying to get across?

    Silicone is very heavy, difficult to put on. We usually don't reccomend it to a first time mer due to that, as it's a very expensive tail and it's best to make 100% sure it's a hobby you want to do before you do. Plus, for a lot of people having their legs bound up like that to where you can't stand makes it very difficult, and could be scary.

    Between the two I'd have to probably say neoprene would be a good place to start. I believe Mermaid Morticia sells them as well as AquaTails.

    Ask the tailmakers, Pascal. As MerEmma said, there are a couple who make neoprene tails that come to mind.

    http://www.morticiasmermaidtails.com/

    http://www.aquatails.com/

    Also, several folks here have gotten Magictails, which is located in Germany, so may be less expensive for you in terms of shipping costs.

    Good luck with whichever you decide on!

    You're not making any sense. Is English your first language? Some members here also speak other languages and might understand you better than I can.

    All tailmakers make mermaid tails--that's very straightforward. All tails are custom made unless they're bought used or they're spandex, many spandex tails are not custom made to your measurements but you're looking at neoprene and silicone. Look at the websites for pricing, it varies much on your design. Just look at the sites on your own, they'll answer most of your questions! Just take the time to do research.

    Read the forum. Use google translate if there's a language barrier. The information is here, you need to research and make your own decision.

    You could also go for a Neopreen backed silicone tail. It's much lighter then a full silicone and it looks more realistic.

    I wouldn't use google translate. It's not a good translation program. English isn't my first language either so I do have mistakes in my posts too. I don't know if there are many girls from Austria, but you could ask them to translate it.

    Raven's neo/sil hybrid has undergone a redo of design so I'm not sure if hers is even called that anymore. Off the top of my head, Mertailor is the only one now with a neo/sil hybrid but I personally wouldn't recommend him for your tail (although it's certainly your call to READ UP on him!). Not only that, I know Raven had issues with the neo/sil pulling apart over time.
