I've recently started researching fursuits, fursuit makers, and furry conventions after 8 years of wanting a kemono suit and wanting to attend a convention. I've realized there is a lot I've never even considered as I've been viewing everything with rose-tinted glasses. Though that's not to say I am putting those dreams away, I just need to reach them realistically.

I'd suggest bringing like a notecard container or one of those large EXTRA(yk the gum brand) containers. Reason why is because you can carry your stickers and pins/brooches with you! And it helps for the stickers to not tear or bend so you can happily share with other fursuiters!

5:55 you mention wearing the earplugs and mask to cons to make sure no fur gets in anyways and I was wondering how you'd be able to hear other suiters and then I had an idea! If you have headphones with noise cancelling and transparency you could wear those! Like AirPods or beats. If you don't I would assume the balaclava would protect your ears but hey, I'm new to this so listen to what Zee says, not me ETA: talking about heat and hydrating makes me think: what about using one of those small, insulated water bottle backpacks that hikers use! I got one from boy scouts when I was little and still have it. Could potentially fit under a suit and both keep you cool and hydrated! (They usually come with a super long bendy straw so you don't have to take it off to drink!)

This was a great, and very helpful video! First time I went to a furry convention was in 2013, but I am new to fursuiting myself. Got a premade partial in 2021, but due to the pandemic and other things, first time I could wear it at a proper con (and not just furmeets and such) was at NordicFuzzCon 2023. I got a partial first, so I'd know a little bit more what I wanted from a fullsuit when finally commissioning a maker. My fursuit maker is soon to start working on my suit, so these were a lot of really great tips that I am going to need when finally fullsuiting at a con for the first time. I'm likely to revisit this video multiple times (because my memory sucks)! Thank you sooo much for making this great video! You just earned yourself a new subscriber!

I'm as blind as a bat without them, and don't have contacts either. Would myself wearing glasses be damaging to the suit in any way? Would it restrict my visibility? Would you recommend wearing glasses, or should I invest in contacts? Thanks in advance! Edit: Also wanted to thank you for helping me be confident in being a furry, this video was really helpful!

I'm a little anxious about being in the head, but I think I'll be fine...but my question really is, do you think partialling is better for someone like me or do you feel like the body suit is very constricting?
@zeekayart
Жыл бұрын
the only way you can know for sure is if you try it out, honestly. the body suit isn't that constricting for me but being really sweaty is uncomfortable. it's definitely not the same feeling for me as being in a small room or in an elevator.
