How to Put on a Silicone Mermaid Tail QUICKLY and EASILY - How do you put on a silicone mermaid tail? Easy. Follow this tutorial! ♥ There are a lot of tutorials on the internet showing you how to get into a silicone mermaid tail, but I'm going to show you the easiest way to do it! This technique is something that I've developed after years of experimentation with different kinds lubricants and a TON of patience.
Like anyone ANYWHERE that is starting something new, I had no idea what I was doing back in 2016 when I decided to become a professional mermaid. I remember the FIRST time I tries putting on my MerNation tail (named Sparda). The process took about 20 minutes and left me in tears! I was on the verge of overheating while getting dressed, since silicone tails are very insulating and since the process took me so long. And once I FINALLY got into the tail and FINALLY got into the water, the tail slipped off of me in a matter of minutes. It was dreadful! (You can see my uncut First Swim video here: • First Swim in my MerNa... )
Luckily, as I've gained more experience as a professional mermaid, I've learned NEW ways of doing things. I no longer struggle to get into my tail. The process is actually quite quick on most days now (excepts for when I'm changing "undercover" on the beach...). I have experimentation and the wisdom of elder merfolk to thank for the discovery of this perfected technique.
Below, you will find a list and links to ALL of the products you will need in order to get into your silicone mermaid tail. Additionally, I'll also link you to the blog post on my website, since I know some of you digest information better when you read it as opposed to listening to it. You can find the blog post below.

Awesome video! For a hybrid tail I made, I used the Mahina, but I didn't want to seal it in so it's removable out the bottom like a Finfun. It's very difficult and painful to get my feet in the foot pockets while it's in the tail, so I stick them out the bottom, put on the monofin, then pull the tail over the monofin. Works alot faster and easier on my hands ♥️♥️♥️

@merjoanne 3 жыл бұрын

Dish rags/face flannels is such a good idea! Prevents hand slippage after lube and probably reduces the risk of sticking a nail through your tail and damaging it that way by accident. Taking notes for when I eventually buy my own!

Thank you! It really is handy! I actually loaned some to a fellow mermaid in Singapore once, because her hands were slipping constantly when she was trying to get dressed. I suggest packing everything into a Tote Bag for easy carrying. 😇💕 I hope you get your new tail soon! Silicone tails are so much fun! 💜

*Absolutely!* Once your fingers start to freeze up, they lose the ability to function perfectly.... which makes getting in *AND* out of a silicone tail much more difficult. I'd actually say that getting out of one is FAR more difficult in cold weather than getting out 😅

For this tail, I either have the FINIS Wave or FINIS Rapid.. I can't remember which one. ^^' BUT! I really don't recommend it, as the heel straps fall off very easily, which can make swimming difficult. My other tail has a FINISH Shooter. I'd recommend that one over the Wave/Rapid, since it doesn't fall off as easily. :)

Hi Aisha! That probably would have been helpful to include. 😅 I just scoot myself into the water as carefully as possible. Basically, I do what is shown in this video (where I scoot across the grass): kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hLSkiLuf3KulXWw.html The key is getting changed as close as possible to your swimming location AND trying to change in an area that isn't covered in sticks, sharp shells/rocks or broken glass. 🖤 Hope that helped explain it some.

@TheMagicCrafter 4 жыл бұрын

Usually, I get dressed on the beach (under blankets like a mer-ninja) and then scoot into the water. If nobody is around, I take my tail off in the water and one of my family members will toss me a towel to cover up with and help me get the tail covered up too. If kids are present, I scoot myself on to the beach, cover with a towel and pretend to be sleepy. I "fall asleep" until everyone loses interest in me, then I'll wiggle out of my tail and make a run for the car. 😂

I have never tried it, and I haven't heard of others using lotion either. I would stick with lube or conditioner + water. If you do have something else you'd like to use, I'd highly suggest talking to your tailmaker about it first to make sure it is safe for your tail. :)

Your tail seemed to easy to get on. The legs to thighs on my tail are very very small and squish me a ton when its on. Kind of takes my breath away. But is does not slip at all and does not move. The hips are hard to get over as the waist seems about 6 inches small to get on my waist. The person making mine suggested super tight so it will not stretch out ever
