Sun Tails Mermaid Tails for Swimming for Girls, Kids, and Adults with Monofin

I've been mermaiding for years. I usually use Fin Fun, and I love everything about them except their weak fin. I went with Suntails this time due to their sea monster tail, which is super close to how I imagine 'my real tail' to be. It looks absolutely amazing in the water, I just LOVE it. No words to describe how it felt to have the tail that says ME, after all these years. Very pleased with the monofin. Very easy to use and similar to Fin Fun in design except it is SO MUCH FASTER!!!! It took me a bit to get used to the straps they have. I'm not a huge fan of the mesh in the pockets, and I've read other people have cut it out so I may do that. Very comfortable and fast fin.The sizing was difficult at first. Their chart confuses me some, because it appears to be junior sizing. However the women's/misses pant sizes don't line up with the measurements, at least as I know it. I'm about 127 lbs, 5'7 and wear a size 4 pants (I think, not totally sure since sizing everywhere is different). I emailed Suntails first and they suggested a large, but after seeing another review here where a mer bigger than me got a large I went with a medium. I don't regret it, it fits perfectly and the large/thick waistband is so wonderful and stays up perfectly.I can also note a big difference in fabric between Suntail and Fin Fun. This fabric feels smoother and thicker, and oh man it dries SO FAST! I was excited when I got home from the pool that it wasn't still soaked and it dried overnight, versus Fin Fun which can take sometimes a day to dry if left on a shower rod like I usually do.A couple of things I didn't like, was the first time getting the monofin in the tail was SO HARD!! I had to stretch the fluke so much I was afraid I would rip the fabric. It was a very tight fit, but it loosened after a few times of getting it in and out. The tail protectors also take a bit of practice to keep on the tips while you are getting the tail on, or else they fall off and you have to start again. It also gaps more at the bottom than I'm used to with my Fin Fun, but I found in my pics and vids of me swimming, it can't be seen. I did end up getting one blister from where the strap laid across my toes, after about 3 hours of swimming. I have women's size 11 feet, so my feet come just past the second strap. I'll have to play around with it more.Finally, the tail protector stickers. Maybe I didn't apply them right. They came off not long after I got into the pool. I'm an adult tho, I know not to abuse my tail and I take very good care of my tails, so it isn't too big of a deal. I think if Suntails is able to perfect the tail tip protectors like Fin Fun has, I'd switch over to them for my tails entirely. The beautiful skin and the fast monofin make them a very good competitor for a company I've used since I started mermaiding years ago.

Good quality and easy to use for the average swimmer.

Nice items as described..properly sized and the purple is stunning.

Daughter liked mermaid tail she wears every week when youth center drops a bus load of little kids off. Last week the fin cracked. I contacted sun tails with a picture. within a few minutes I got a reply send my shipping info and they'd get one out I replyed in a few minutes I got another reply it would be sent right out a little bit later I received the tracking info. This was the fastest most painless warranty I ever had

Item admirable. The packaging was immensely appealing. Delivery was superlative.

Got this for our daughter and the fit and construction of this item is pretty amazing. She loves it and it was comfortable for her to swim with it on.

I’ve only swam in this for like 5 times and it’s already ripped!! I’m buying a new skin anyways it’s fine!

So fun !!!!

The media could not be loaded.  Tenía miedo que me quedara chica pero queda perfecta! Y se ve hermosa ya puesta, tarde mucho en que me llegara pero valió la pena la espera, la tela se siente muy bien y simplemente estoy feliz!! Eso si se ve que necesita de muchos cuidados sino si se puede despintar

Muy buena calidad.Quizá las tallas están un poco cortas de largo. Por lo demás es muy bien producto.

Es muy bonita y fácil de poner, a mi sobrina le encantó. Aunque cuando deja de nadar y se para a descansar parece que la tela se empieza a desgastar un poquito.
