Finfolk's Fabric Tails!

[Mer Coralia]

By the way, I feel I should point out that the tails have white zippers, despite the fact that most of them have dark accents. It isn't very noticeable, but a few people have been disappointed by it so I'm gonna give a heads up about it here.

Sorry I didn't see this earlier, so apparently the reason was the colored zippers would have delayed them for a month (so they'd end up being released in February instead of January). Finfolk opted for quicker shipment hence the white, however many pod members have said it's easily correctable by using a sharpie to color it in.

I feel ya on it, for the darker ones it's noticeable but considering the feedback of A LOT OF PEOPLE wanting them sooner, I can see why they kept the white. It's funny one of the twins was like "why are zippers so problematic?" However the next batch of fabric tails will have colored zippers.

So I wanted to let you all know that the Mahina Monofin does fit in the Finfolk fabric tail - at least it fits in the Sea Nymph fluke.

Here is my video talking about how I got the Mahina Monofin to fit:

But it is confirmed not to fit a lotus fluke. I don't have a mahina to try with my sea sapphire, but I personally wouldn't. My fluke has an inward curve to the fins, which wouldn't be very friendly for a mahina. Even with the sea nymph fluke, somebody else in the pod squad tried it and their mahina was nearly ripping their seams, so it depends on the size of the tail AND the size of the mahina whether this would work.

Honestly, if you guys prefer having a solid rubber monofin, I'd just stick with the finis foil. It doesn't have that same flowy mermaidy look that the mahina has on it's own, but the tail skins on these tails are enough to make up for that. It fits into these tails a lot easier than the mahina did, so you won't have to risk breaking the zipper either. /mytwocents

On another note, your living room looks gorgeous.

Are they restocking in February? Hopefully they will do a dark red or green in the sea nymph fluke.

I hope they do. My birthday is in February, so it would be a good gift to myself, but I would want a darker green tail to go along with my current color scheme.

Once everyone's is shipped out they're going to sell any remaining of this round and the next release will be all different. Apparently it'll be constantly evolving with colors but they may bring back some old ones.

I GOT MINE AND ITS REALLY HARD TO GET OVER THE BUTT BUT SHE FITS!

Yeah I definitely stretch those hip measurements

She's currently stashed under laundry on the floor so she's safe

I need to get another monofin though. I have the wave and it fits but I may still get a trainer for better training for my silicone one and it'll be easier getting in the tail.

I received mine recently as well! I got the Eternal Ember.

Here's my take on the sizing:

I'm pretty short (5'2, 115lbs or so) and I got the XS. It is EXTREMELY hard to get over my butt, and is definitely several inches too long, which creates significant wrinkles around my ankles that I can't straighten out. I'm hoping getting one of the recommended monofins will help with this, at least a little.

Speaking of monofins...

I have a mahina and a hydra monofin, and tried to squeeze them in. I managed to get the mahina in there, but as people have said it is a very tight fit and I feel bad for my poor seams.
The hydra WILL NOT fit in my XS - the blade of the fin fits very well, but due to the space in between the footpockets the whole fin will not fit in the tail. A tail size with wider ankle space may fit the hydra, but it doesn't seem likely to me due to how much of the monofin stuck out.

I'll try to get some pictures of the monofin fit and upload them at some point.

Other than that, I really do like it. The vinyl in the fluke is genius - a real game changer for fabric tails. The construction is great, and the scale printing is stunning. The fact that it is the same size as their silicone tails is also a huge plus in my book. As people have already said, the zipper is white and is too noticeable for my liking, but I plan on taking a sharpie to it so it's not a big deal.

I plan to take it on a test swim in a few days!!

[Mermaid Whisper]

I’m trying to wait it out to see if they release any more colors/flukes/designs. I love the silver and black, but having so few choices means a lot of mers will feel the same :P

Now to wait for tax time...

So I'm hoping for some feedback on this tail from other people who have theirs.

How does this tail fit? How true are the measurements that Finfolks gives for these tails? I know that with the Mythic line they tend to run a bit large....
I measured myself and while my waist fits the XXS the butt doesn't and it looks like I might be a little too tall if I've measured that part right. I've never worn neoprene before but I was aware that there's a tiny bit of a stretch to it, but I don't know how much....
Should I be more concerned about that waist measurement that's firmly in the XXS measurment or that Butt measurement that's between two sizes? How important is that top ot tail ot ankle measument that I'm between sizes on as well?
I just really want it to fit right for swimming as I don't want extra drag from it being too loose.

I got mine the day before yesterday. I got a small, despite having hips that should have made me get a medium, but it fits and I love it.Will get pics soon. And my cert was 29/300, which was cool to see.

Good to know. I'm trying not to bug them since they need to take care of the paid orders first and the last thing they need is me bugging them for a tracking number, lol. I'm treating like a surprise.
