Hi Nerdmaids! Thanks for watching! What is your favourite part of these tails? Leave a comment down below!

Oooooooh, affordable neoprene tail with big fluke AND custom sizing..?? Roooock!! Thanks Faith!

Good to know about the issues with vinyl inserts. Was not aware of how ineffective and annoying they could be!

Thank you for introducing me to MermaidAqua, when I saw the unboxing and first swim video I decided to get one of hers! I bought the Cotton Candy tail, and I loved it. I had the same problems with the performance the first time I swam with it in the default monofin, it was slow and I had to worm around the pool to get places so the snaps wouldn't come off. The monofin wasn't very nice to swim in on its own, so I replaced it with my own monofin (Finis Aquarius) which (with a few adjustments to keep it from coming off easily) I loved swimming in before, and used super glue on the snaps to keep them tight and, although I haven't tried it in a big pool yet, I can feel a lot of power moving around in the tail, also it looks super pretty in the water. The downside to this is that the monofin is pretty much stuck in the tail (I haven't tried to separate the two yet) but it can also be a good thing so I wouldn't bother getting the vynil insert in and out of the tail. I also probably won't be able to use the monofin by itself anymore T.T I haven't been able to do a tail flip and the tail does flop over when out of the water, but overall it's a really good tail and I love it!

I appreciate your honesty! I am saving up for a tail with a large fluke.

Great to see a good-old-fashioned tail review! SUPERB editing (the time-lapse in terms of putting the vinyl insert inside the tail was a piece of genius). I was surprised that you had so many complaints at that point of the video, given your positive ratings earlier on and the 40/50 rating (and B grade) you wound up giving "Lapis." But I agree with you, there's not much point in getting a tail that just looks good and is practically un-swimmable. To me that's like collecting hockey cards or comic books and then putting them in Mylar bags and never looking at them again. These things are meant to be USED and ENJOYED! Thank you for another terrific review video, Faith!

FINALLY!!! Been waiting 😍😁

Love the haircut, Faith!

I was like 'nooooooooooo the hair has been cut' but then two seconds later it was all 'it suits her though'............Love the review by the way. I first found MermaidAqua through you and I wish I had the money for one :P

i compleatly agree with this revew

Oh my gosh, your cat is so cute!

so pretty

Will you review the new fin fun AMP?

I just got my first finfolk fabric for Christmas. I haven’t swam in it yet so we’ll see.

Beautiful tail! :)

*What pool did you film that pool is awesome*

I feel like you can add/adjust the drainage (?) Holes via a seam ripper or scissors to improve on the tail. IDK, I don't personally own this tail, just a thought.

Can u do a Video on what vinyl inserts do?

Thankyou! I’m looking for my first tail skin and I really love big fluke tails. I also am weird sized and most things don’t fit me properly do it would be nice to have it custom sized. Does anyone know if there are there any other fins that would fit in this tail skin or if there are any other tails like this that fit a mahina?

Hi, I'm really interested in this tailmaker since finding this review!! But I can't get through the website. Are they still in business? :)

Haaahaha :48 ‘so it’ll fit’ omg girl so flippin true! This amazon sized girl over here has so much appreciation for custom fit tails. Yeah I agree in the vinyls. They are a total pain. Have you tried the waterways mermaid monofin? It’s a freediving monofin and massive so it fills out big flukes well. A pain to get into the tail, but makes a big difference for neoprene tails.

You should get a fin folk fabric tail

Would a linden monofin fit?

I got one of the new ones from magictail (the premium pro one) and those look pretty nice, but i haven't tried them out yet, so I can't say anything about drag etc. But I will tell you if it is worth buying once I tried it out ^.^

is mermaid aqua defunct now? when i try to go to the site it wont let me saying the network isnt secure...

@Nerdmaid Faith did Swimtails close? It still has website up. Or are they bad company to deal with?

Love mermaid aqua tails!

I made my own Vinyl insert tail and it is still my favourite of my tails I've made. Tho.... i does sound like a boat motor underwater when I go at speed XD (no vids of that yet hope to get that someday XD)

Wayo! Mermaid Melodie here, (yes my mersona is spelt with an i and an e) And I need to know as a younger mermaid, what do I say to kids if they ask if I am real? I have pulled the "if you believe I am real that is all that matters" thing that Courtney brought up before and I was wondering some other decent answers that I can pull on ids of all ages. I have also been looking for a good neoprene tail because I am a Wisconsin mermaid who needs at least a little bit of lower body warmth sense the water is always cold here! I was wondering if the new mertailor fabric tails seem like a good investment for a good looking, good quality, semi realistic fabric tail. I now they can get pretty pricey so I would be perfectly happy If you decided...TO BUY A FIN FUN!

It’s very pretty but I’m like you and I hate those types of ones were you have to do SO much work just to get your tail into the water.

I wish I even had 2..

pretty sure the vinyl inserts would work just fine if the drainage holes were bigger since that seems to be he problem and not the inserts

*actually* first

Seems like I missed something, why is swimtails a dead company ? 😅 (7:00)

Well now I’m worried because I just ordered a tail from Swimtails😬

Swimtails is dead....I can still order from them!

I dunno why she just doesn't put any monofin in with the tail and the stupid plastic thing and make them to fit whatever monofin you want like the mahina or the Linden etc. I'm stressing just watching you trying to put the plastic in hahah xx

Us mermaids be like: I like big flukes and I cannot lie.
