Love this it's so high quality and it comes with a 1 year warranty on the tail i love and they took the time to make a care sheet and to let you know how to take care of it worth every penny

We bought our first FunFin in March 2022 in child's large/extra large for my 11 year old ($50). It fit her perfectly and fit matters because you want the plastic monofin, which was included, to stay on snugly, but be able to be "popped off" when needed. She loved it for imaginative play and games with her siblings in the pool. Her sister, who is 13, wanted to join in the fun, but we had to move up to adult sizes for her, which meant a higher price. So we paid $90 for hers, which is actually just one size up, based on the measurements included in the listing. Oh well!

The listing was accurate with the measurements and I recommend using them to help you decide on which size to purchase.

I read a few reviews about pilling and tearing at the tail, but we haven't experienced any tears, and if there are pills (tiny balls on the material as it starts to break down a bit), we don't notice or care.

I wouldn't recommend purchasing the mermaid tail without the monofin if you hope to swim with it. Otherwise, all you've really done is restrict movement in the water, and end up with a floppy, material tail when you are out of the water.

I expect to only get one swim season out of them, as the girls are likely to have outgrown the sizes by next year, but Texas summers last 4 - 5 months easy, so that's a doable investment!

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.

This is our second tail from this company. The first one we purchased lasted 2 years with heavy use from my daughter and all her friends. This second one is just as well made and will provide countless hours of fun in the pool.

Product came on time and received as advertised. Manufacturer did not recommend use in water and that was a bit disappointing. Only issue though.
