How to put on a silicone tail?

How to put on a silicone tail? This is a good question that almost every mermaid or almost every merman ask themselves. A silicone mermaid tail can weigh between 8 and 16 kg and is therefore not really light. As a result, it is not as easy to move a silicone tail and bring it into the correct "put-on position". In contrast to fabric tails, a silicone mermaid tail also has a sticking effect on your skin. Therefore, simply slipping into the tail won’t work. The question “how to put on a silicone tail?” is definitely justified.

“How to put on a silicone tail?” - Preparation

Before you put on your silicone mermaid tail, good preparation is necessary. First, you should find a suitable spot for your transformation. Remember that you can neither walk nor jump, once you are in your tail. Accordingly, you should, move directly where you want to be located afterwards. If you are in a swimming pool, for example, put on the tail directly on the edge of the pool, so you can easily slide into the water from there. Alternatively, you can also be pushed in a wheelchair or be carried by someone.
Place your silicone mermaid tail on a soft surface such as a towel. Next, fold the top edge of your silicone fin about 10-20 cm. Then use a lubricant and rub it on your legs. You can use a natural oil like coconut oil or olive oil for example. Alternatively, a thick layer of shower gel or hair also works. Spare out your feet, because otherwise you can easily slip out of the foot pockets later in the water.

Getting into the tail

Now you wet your legs with water. You can also pour some water into the tail. Before attempting to get into the tail, thoroughly remove any lubricant from your hands. Now slide your first foot into the tail and try to feel the foot pocket. As soon as you are in the foot pocket, feel the heel strap and pull it over your heels. If this is set too big, use the two rings to the left and right of the foot pocket and pull them towards you until the heel strap is adjusted to fit your size. You normally only have to set this once, then it is adapted to your shoe size and can remain set. Now repeat the same thing with the other foot.

Complete the transformation

You may now have to dry your hands thoroughly again, otherwise the silicone tail will slip through your hands when you pull it up. Silicone can get holes if you don't handle it carefully, so be careful with your fingernails. Ideally, you use your flat hands to pull up the tail from your lower legs as far up as you can. Avoid pulling too much in one place or on attached fins. Lay on your back and lift your buttocks to slide the tail over your bum. Finally, fold the upper edge back down again. As a result, the tail should now sit perfectly. If not, you can adjust it a bit. It is important that your legs are completely slippery. Now, hopefully your question " How to put on a silicone tail?" has been answered.
