What type of suit is right for you?? Fursuit type pros & cons [The Bottle ep47]

How about plush suits? As I found out this weekend at my first convention with my plush fursuit, they are NOT EASY to wear around! Your entire body is covered in a layer of polyfil padding which makes movement very difficult, and boy does it get hot fast! I have to wear a cooling vest to even be able to wear it at all, but it definitely helps. It's also HEAVY!! The whole suit weighs about 30 lbs which is a total workout to wear. At least I got a lot of exercise! And if all of that isn't enough, just consider how to store, pack, or travel with something that is 3 times the size of your own body! I definitely would not recommend a plush suit for anyone who is not a very experienced fursuiter (I've been suiting for almost 10 years now & have owned more than 10 fursuits which is the only reason I can pull it off!) All of that being said, I do love my fursuit, very very much. It brings so many smiles to people's faces including my own! It may be hard to wear, but I don't mind.

Quadsuits are amazing, but they’re heavy and hard to perform in. Just getting into one is a task. If anyone plans on getting a quadsuit definitely take your physical fitness into account. If you have back problems, can’t handle heat well etc, I highly advise against one.

When you want a fursuit, but there are 3 problems: 1. You absolutely know they’re expensive 2. You’re too young and you’d grow out a fursuit very quickly 3. You’re a closeted furry and your parents have no idea what a furry is.

You forgot one more con about making your own suit: THE MESS. Omg, there's so much foam floating around in my house no matter how hard I tried to vacuum and it drives my dad insane haha!

pocari: you need big baggies for you big leggies. Me: dead from to much cuteness

Cons for making a fursuit yourself: THE HOT GLUE ON YOUR FINGERS

If you can’t handle heat, don’t get a fullsuit.

I think I’ll stick to a full partial then 😂 I’m still growing, I can deal with heat, but I need to save $ and it still looks great.

Con of drop crotch: "Belly rub" might not be a belly rub

I was going to go full suit, but this made me realize I don't want or need a full suit. A partial will do just fine. :3

The mini partial made me think if someone has a poodle fursona then they can wear short clothing 🤔

"quadsuit" mind immediately goes to the cursed flareon suit

Another con is that it's hard to find people who will make fursuit parts without a head. I was looking around for someone to make me handpaws, tails, legs and feet and most people I asked would say "sorry, we don't make parts for fursuits we didn't make". It's also still pretty expensive, so I just ended up making my own parts. Only buy a single head if you are going to make the rest yourself or already have parts.

As a part time wheel chair user I find that for me partials work better however I have worn a plantigrade fur suit as well and it was fun however it was fairly uncomfortable. Edit; I got my first digitigrade suit, it was a half suit it was very fun to wear and is now my favorite suit HOWEVER wearing it while sitting in a wheelchair was somewhat uncomfortable 😂

Title: What Kind Of Firsuit is Right for You? Me: da big floofy ones •u•

Fav part, 5:46 So cute.... 🥺 Edit: “...and HAND PAWS!

YOU FORGOT PLUSH SUITS!!!!

I think I'm going to try to make a bottom halfsuit for the legs so I can wear a dress and that way the tail can help hike the dress up in the back and show off all the cute ruffles! This video has been amazingly helpful!

Pocari: says it gets hot and sweaty with fullsuits Me: quietly puts deodorant all over my body

"If you have big leggies, you need big baggies for your big leggies." My favorite quote XD
