The Mermaid Sisters are happy to give you the best tips on how to properly put on your mermaid tail. It’s important to know how this works once you’ve purchased one. The first time might seem a bit tricky, but with the right steps, anyone can do it.
In this blog, we explain step by step how to put on a mermaid tail, provide useful tips, and make sure you enter the water safely and confidently.
What do you need to get started?
Before you begin, it’s important to have the right gear:
- A mermaid tail
- A monofin, which is the fin your feet go into
- Access to water, such as a swimming pool
The monofin is essential because it allows you to really swim like a mermaid. Without the monofin, the tail doesn’t work well and you can’t move properly in the water.
Want to make it easy for yourself? At Mermaid Sisters, we have put together super handy mermaid bundles. These sets include everything you need to start right away: a mermaid tail, a monofin, and a matching bikini set. Perfect for beginners and also ideal as a magical gift
Step by step: how to put on a mermaid tail
Follow these simple steps and you’ll be ready to swim in no time:
- Sit at the edge of the pool
- Lightly wet the monofin and the inside of the tail
- Slide the monofin into the bottom of the mermaid tail
- Carefully pull the tail over the tips of the monofin
- Make sure the openings of the monofin are visible
- Place your feet into the monofin and pull it snugly over your ankles
- Then pull the tail up over your legs
Tip: first pull the tail up to your knees and then enter the water to pull it up further. This makes it much easier and more comfortable.
And you’re done, you can now swim like a real mermaid 🧜
How do you take off a mermaid tail?
Luckily, taking it off is just as easy:
- Stand in shallow water
- Slowly pull the tail down
- Remove one foot from the monofin first
- Use that foot to free the other one as well
Tip: practice this a few times so you always know what to do. This way, you can enter the water with peace of mind.
