Fin FunMermaidens - Mermaid Tails for Swimming for Women, Teens and Adults with Monofin

The media could not be loaded. Calling all mermaids! This mermaid tail was a hit! My daughter has been begging for a mermaid tail for the longest time. I found it challenging to find something that would be comfortable, functional, and fit her. She’s 5 feet tall and at the time was about 160 pounds. This was perfect! The tail can be put on and pulled up to your knees so you can carefully walk to the side of the pool edge. Sitting on the top step, you can slip your feet into the fins (tight!) and then pull the legging tail over the fins. She has since lost some weight (down to 140) and the stretch in the leggings still fits great. Even her “little brother” got in on the action. He’s 5 foot 11 and weighs approximately 140 pounds. Somehow he managed to get his men’s size 10 feet into those fins! Lots of interest and compliments on our spring break vacation. “Oh look at the beautiful mermaid!“. Well-made, beautiful colors, fin is functional, I recommend.

We bought this tail for my 9 year old daughter. She is a size 14, we bought size XS Womens and it fits well; though it is a wee bit long, it's easy to scrunch or fold the extra length around the midriff (plus it gives her room to grow). She has used it 4 times since I gave it to her two weeks ago, for up to an hour at a time.The tail is easy to use and wear in the water, though I will admit she is a very good swimmer (two years of YMCA swim lessons). The tail material feels and acts like very good bathing suit, it is a beautiful pattern, and she wears it over a bikini.The tail can be a bit tricky to get on, we put the totally dry tail on a totally dry girl just before slipping in the water. I also suggest practicing getting the tail on and off at home several times before trying it at the pool.The tail tips are firm and feel as though they were reinforced with silicone or rubber, this is a great feature because inserting and removing the monofin is a delicate task.I stay with her in the water while she has on her tail. It's a great reinforcer for practicing dolphin kicks, and she also loves doing "tail splashes". It looks amazong in the water, and she keeps generating crowds of fans, lol.She can take a break from swimming by holding the pool edge or by "standing" on the pool floor, though I hope that, over time, the tail won't break down under the heels. I wish that "heel" area was rubberized as well, but so far it is doing ok.My only warnings to parents would be to stay with your mermaid at all times, just in case, and to watch for the tail as a tail splash can hurt someone accidentally (the monofilament is like a single hard swim flipper); also to take care in removing/inserting the monofin.Our community pool does not allow the tail, but luckily we have several close friends with private pools. Most unguarded pools (like in apartment complexes, condo communities, retirement communities etc) allow, or at least, don't ban, the mermaid tail.Oh yes! The packet of cards, letters of certification, stickers, posters and notes that come with the "FinFun" tail are great! They made my daughter feel very special and she absolutely loves the poster.I would, and already have, recommend the "FinFun" mermaid tail. The tail colors are beautiful, the tail and monofin feel and look professionally made, and overall it looks, feels and acts like a quality product.

Anyway, I was curious what it would be like to be a mermaid, and this was one of the less expensive options so I figured, why not give it a shot?I will say that swimming in this is a LOT harder than normal swimming (so I'd test it out in water that you're very comfortable navigating), as well as it puts pressure on my feet in a way that made it suitable for maybe a half hour of swimming, but really okay for hours. But...it worked nicely. I was able to almost instantly get it on and swim about a pool, and perhaps more importantly (for safety reasons), I was able to get it off again almost instantly when I wanted to.The tail is also pretty, seems well made, and is just generally fun! While I'm guessing there are versions that are probably better if you're *super* into mermaiding, this seems like a solid, entry level option.

Loved it looks good, matches the picture. The size is true, unlike other brands there is not a string inside to cinch it if it is too large. It wont fall off if it is the right size, so keep the measurements in mind. Its made like a well done swim suit. The tail for the fin support is velcro not zipper. I think that that is a safety feature in case you get stuck somewhere and need to take off the fin fast. The part where your feet looks like it might be tight if your feet are on the larger side, so I'd keep that in mind.Came early.

Wonderful purchase ^_^. I have always wanted an adult mermaid fin, and this one is is great! It fits well, and the monofin provides good propulsion in the water. It was easy and fun to swim in, and looks great in the water and out. The bottom is pilling a little from standing on the pool bottom, so I recommend wearing it in the same direction each time. 0 complaints, I love it so much I will buy another as soon as the yellow one is available in an extra small 💛.

I started my mermaid journey with a Mertailor tail with a Mermaid Linden fin. I was wanting another tail but just couldn't afford another Mertailor tail, so I took a chance. I'm so glad I took that chance! The tail fits nicely, the material and print is comparable to Mertailor. A mermaid linden fin can fit in it, but it does it a little more than the intended fin so it probably wouldn't work long term. The provided fin is hard to get on your feet but easy enough to get off fast for a tail bail. The stitching is well done to ensure it lasts a long time with proper care.Pictures of my finfun tail(black tail) compared with my Mertailor tail(blue tail). Shows them beside to compare the prints/tail shape, overlapping with the feet positions lined up to show size difference, and close up of the stitching.*I will update my review once I get a chance to swim in the tail with the provided fin in it!
