do u sleep with your tail ?
Sadly the tail I wanted off of Etsy was way too expensive and I just learned Amazon is not Ethical at all so next time I will save up for a proper tail
When I asked my mom if I could get a tail she was like, " sure " she knows I'm a weirdo so she just accepts the weird things I want XD.
well yeh my mom is so too xD she knows im weird so she doesn't look strange when I act weird or buy weird stuff.
Same😄
I like to be weird🥰
Same, I was really nervous that my parents would reject me for who I was when I asked for gear for my birthday.
Same ✨
I don't really like real fur for a tail unless the animal died naturally which is one of the reasons why I make my own and I have to care for it differently
moon the therian and the shadow pack yeh, I don't like it either when an animal has had a cruel life and died just fur the fur. That's why I was so upset at first when I bought a fake tail at aliexpress and received a real one instead. As I know furfarms/real tails from aliexpress are Super cruel. The tails only cost you 1-5$ but that also means they only got 1-5$ to care for the animal. Small cages, poor food, no health care, painfull deads or even skinned alive..
It's so sad.
I can't give all to much info on fake tails as I barely own such myself. But I hope u are able to care well for your fale tails non the less! :)
PD thx and ye this did help
I feel the same
I completely agree,this is exactly how I feel,making tails is fun!
Tyler wolf same, I have a tail from an animal who sadly died but from old age
Tip: if you are underaged, and you want a handful of therian gear, I suggest waiting from a week to a month before asking.
I mostly do this so it doesn’t seem needy or for something shady
Also, if you want a tail, and you are nearing a con or Halloween, go as your kin type so it doesn’t raise suspicions!
If you’re parents are fine with it, say you are a furry and you want these items to express yourself and feel more comfortable
That’s all I got from personal experience! Your welcome!
You can actually make a tail from yarn me and my friend who are therians make our tails from yarn and we wear them to the park/woods
stranger things edits i think I stayed the existence of yarn tails as well in the video, honestly unsure if I did so so I'm sorry if I forget mentioned that :3 however I thinn yarn tails are super cool and can look super nice and realistic!
Have fun with your tails :)
I TEACH ME HOWWW
I just asked my mum, "can I but a tail" and she was like "okey" because she knows im weird and want weird things
Grey the wolf therian look :3 if u don't make a great deal out of it, it won't seem to be like one! Good job. And have fun!
a little Idea For therians like me that dont feel comfortable with a real tail from a dead animal but still want a tail that moves like a real one: make or buy a yarn tail,they look good and move amazing,if you want to make one yourself it may take some time but they are really amazing :3
I got a really fluffy one from ren fair that sways and looks SO real! And so pretty
@@StrawberryOK ren faire tails are real tails tho (their ethically sourced dw)
Thank you
I just asked mom to get a tail and she said YES! I just recently told her I'm a wolf Therian too!
Wow I'm glad you got such a positive reaction! Have fun with it!
Therians: OUR TAILS ARE SOO HARD TO COMB
cheetah therians: *am I a joke to you*
*_oof_*
Rip
I'm a cheetah therian 😭😭
I really appreciate it PD. I'm getting my first tail(s) for Christmas and don't want to ruin them! So this helps a lot :D!
oh excisting! I hope you'll have fun with them and like them. It's not that easy to ruin them, they are pretty strong, just keep the few things in mind i've listed! :) goodluck.
WOOF!
PD
Am i lucky that my school doesnt give a crap about if a wear a tail ot not
I sometimes wear my tail to school (not often however) and even the teachers compliment me about it on that 'I got a nice style' or 'cool tail!' I think schools should allow things like tails etc more, after all it's not harming anyone and just a nice style. goodlooking!
Nice school you have!
musicdafox and rusty Very! At my school we have to wear uniform and I hate it! Even if I had a tail to wear (which I don't, sadly ;-;) I wouldn't be able to wear it to school. :(
Little Osprey aww sorry
Little Osprey having a tail can be really fun! But always know that wheither u have a tail or you don't doesn't matter. You don't need a tail to be a therian and it doesn't make u any less of a therian either :3
I've been on an uniform school before as well. I didn't like it at all :/ not that I couldn't wear a tail but just how ridiculously ugly the uniform looked as well as those strict rules and how uncomfy the uniform was!
I wish you best of luck!
WOOF!
PD
PD Thanks! Yeah, the uniform at my school is ugly too! XD
i am also a therian and my theriotype is a red fox. when i got my first tail i never took it off unless i was going in public, showering, sleeping. Also i always moved it around because its somehow satisfying xD
I agree I do the same❤
Love the black tail
Leah TheTherian thanks! :) I bought it for the purpose of being able to wear it daily as a piece of fashion, as most of my regular clothes I wear daily are mostly black my white favorite tail didn't really blend in well and catches a lot of eyes! So for school and such, i got the black tail as people barely even notice and it just looks real cool! ;p
My mum says I'm not allowed real tails,so I make them with yarn,
But I still watched this lol!
Can u do a tut??
I asked my mom for my tail by saying it's for a costume (Since I wear costumes a lot, she doesn't ask questions as long as it's my money). It worked well!
And about animals disliking/liking the real tails, my cat actually loves it XD
Nice! i'm glad it worked out for u! :D have fun with it!
Just be carefull your cat doesn't like it Too much ;)
It did. Sadly someone in school ripped it, but I wasn't using your tip. I'm getting a new one and will use this tip for school! :)
Ah I'm so sorry to hear that :/ I hope the new one survives longer
my dog stole mine and cuddled it to sleep lol.
In the US you will find these Native American stores in the middle of the country that sell dream catchers, feathers, tails, stones/geodes, and much more. I got my tail in a shop by the American River, though it’s a fox tail cost $28 and a bit long for my theriotype, I’m happy to have any. I also walked into a shop selling tails in Idaho and another in Montana.
There was one shop in New Mexico that sold these small, beautiful geode statues of animals, and though my heart was stolen by a beautiful grey bobcat statue, I didn’t get it and it’s always on my mind. If ever I go back, finding it still there will reignite my belief in magic lol
I brush my tails every month to get rid of the dust. Shaking them gently and not too rough is good to shake off extra dust too. I brush upwards not downwards. (Maybe sometimes I do but I get lazy to do so, upwards is good too.)
hmm depends, if I got an annoying knot of fur or such. I brush upwards first (but veeeeery gently so I don't pull out fur) then to brush it back downwards. Both can be fine, however upwards.. is more dangerous because of the risk to pull out fur. I do so tho, with some tails. By being carefull. I brush them after every heavy wear (a walk in the woods, into the city,.. not if I'm just at home) or whenever they just need a brush xD And for the dust: mine hang on my dreamcatcher so I basicly just run my fingers through them every now and then and wear them a lot, so they don't collect much dust luckily.
thanks for the tips/sharing experiences! :D
PD I don't wear my real tails, it's only for display. I do so with the fake. And you didn't understand me, I don't brush upwards how you think I do, I know it will pull the fur out if not gently cared. I only move the brush gently upwards on it, to get the dust off. It works that way too.
Oh like that! Yes I misunderstood, I'm sorry. Thanks for the tip :)
Ahh!! I just got my ‘first tail’ at least one that matches my theriotype!! I can’t wait until it gets here Dec14-20!!!
Nice! Have fun with it!
Here's how I got my tail
I said it was a keychain XD
Yeh why not xD I said it was cosplay. A friend of me said it was fashion haha.
I'm gonna do that lol
I’ll do that for my next tail lol xD
In my school you can wear whatever you want, But it would be weird 😓
María Martín well yeh :/ sadly enough some schools are too closed minded for new styles and looks..
This is very helpful! My dad is buying me my first real tail for Christmas (I told him that I want it for a cosplay) It’s a fox tail and I am very excited!
oh exciting! have fun!
The only places I don't wear my tail is school and church. Anywhere else, yes.
Perhaps for the better, looking at bullying and dress code etc. I hope you won't ever experience overly negative reaction in public. Goodluck!
I wish i could afford a tail. I am saving up for one! I had a tail, but my friend, who it actually belonged to asked for it back. I was trying to fix for her, and i thought that she had said that i could keep it, since i wasn't able to fully fix it. I misunderstood and I have to return it to her.
Aww :/ well just spare a bit indeed and soon enough u can buy your own!
I highly recommend you to watch my "where to buy (alternative) therian gear" video:
czcams.com/video/wHOY1xHVuU0/video.html and read the describtion. I stated some very handy shops and such in there that I recommend to buy from!
Thanks! I will check it out!
I love your accent ❤
Came here because I'm a therian still kinda finding myself and everything, I've actually never tried to go to the internet for help, so this is my first time watching a video on this subject! I really like it actually, you earned this sub ^w^
Haha I heard before that I got quiet a special accent indeed hha :"3 thank you.
If you're looking for info then I really recommand to watch some videos, however be aware that there a lot of misconceptions and misunderstandings around therians. Especially on Tumblr, Reddit and CZcams. The youtube channel with the best and most accurate, correct information around therianthropy is Therian Nation. But I also have a playlist (to be found at the top of my youtube homepage) which includes a lot of 'important' information around therianthropy, especially made for newer or searching therians.
I also highly recommand checking out the website Therian Guide as this contains a lot of handy and correct information which is very easy to read and kept short.
They also have a great forum (go to community and then at the bottom of the page is a button to join the forum) which I've been member of for a while and can tell you that it's one of the best places to turn to as it has 100% correct information and a lot of friendly members who're willing to help you. It's a family like place over there.
Therian Amino is kind of the personal facebook especially for therians. Very fun place and through 'any therian in__' polls also one of the best places to find therians who live in your country etc. However while it's fun, for blogging and chatting etc. It is mainly build up out of younger therians 10-20yrs old. And also contains a lot of misundestandings and misconceptions so be cautious when joining therian amino. Not all info is thrustworthy.
Sorry if my comment is long, I'm just trying to help you by leading you in some directions hha :') Eitherway I hope you'll enjoy my channel and I wish you goodluck on your journey of self discovery!
If there ever is anything you want to ask me, weither for a nice chat or help with something. You can always contact me through therian amino (PD pinkdolphin), my personal amino 'PD youtube community', or on therianguide forums (PinkDolphin)
WOOF!
PD
I would be scared to wear a tail in public how can I fight it?😞
At first I was scared to wear my tail in public but when I did wear it for the first time outside my house no one cared and I actually got loads of compliments so I say go for it but make sure your safe when u wear it outside ❤
I'm considering a real black wolf tail and ears, but I don't know where to get them... does anyone have a tail and ears themselves and have a good place to recommend??? Tia.
Edit: I have my tail bois
I am scared of dogs because I was almost attacked by one. But, I am a silver fox and a eastern timber wolf. ;-;
Well foxes are naturally scared too of dogs, and wolfs too. So not that weird ;) Wolfs are canines, but a different 'kind' than dogs. And foxes aren't even canines at all, they are 'vulpes' or 'vulpines'. So don't worry about it! :)
I’m to scared to wear one at school
If you just do it one day it will become easier and easier
Eh who cares what anybody thinks. If anybody says anything just laugh. If they are mean just know they are just jealous of your happy life. But always pull proof your tails before wearing out. (PD already made a vid on it)
Haven’t told my parents I’m a therian, (and probably never will) but they know I’m a furry, so it’s pretty easy to ask 💀
Have you considered putting captions on your videos? Many people are terrible with accents (especially if English isn't their fist language) and it might help viewers
Some faux fur tails have leather or metal chain on the inside to give weight and make it similar to real.
And some taxidermy tails are stuffed with fluff like a pillow.
Well I didn't know it wasn't automaticly offering you the possibility to turn on captions, I must have unabled the option through my settings. I'll go edit my settings so people could see captions. However those might not be fully correct, it will be mostly. Manually editing captions into the videos will be a hell, I already spend 7 hours of editing on each video, having to make captions for every single word will make that into 12 or more most likely. But I highly appreciaty your advice!
Oh yes I know faux fur with metal chains, the faux fur tail I'm showing in the video has one actually. However I've never heard of people putting leather on the inside of faux fur tails, I did hear of people getting it to a life-like sensation weight because of stuffing it with different (more heavy) things and what not. Putting leather in it would be an unnescecary expensive cost I guess, but I believe you that some might do that. I just don't think it's very likely to encounter.
Taxidermy tails being stuffed? Ah yeh I see where you are coming from, that would indeed explain some stuff, but wouldn't the leather still be in there? As the fur is (just as real animal fur) is literally attached to the leather (which is the skin ofcourse)? However you won't be able to see the leather anymore ofcourse, as it'll be shut to keep the stuffing in. That's a problem I rather not encounter haha! :)
Thanks for the heads ups and sharing your wisdom!
WOOF!
PD
CooroApplez she's trying, stop being picky
Plz don't be rude and you can put captions on youtube in settings
I'm a wolf therian and I love wearing tails!
Hello :3
It's Leah the Therian here but my whole family watched all my videos and found I'm a Therian and I was so embarrassed and mad but my new name is Layla, So it's Still Leah Here :)
Where do You Get Your Tails? :0
Layla The Therian oh Hi Leah! I'm so sorry to hear about that :/ I hope your parents will accept and be nice to you after all. My parent needed some time to adjust but they accept my therianthrophy! Hope yours do too, incl youtube channel.
Goodluck with that!
I got the blue fox tail from a local christmass market I randomly walked by.
I got the white tail from aliexpress, it both said and even showed a clearly fake tail yet I received a real tail. I don't (regret) it anymore however, i absolutely love this tail.
I got the fake grey tail from a friend who said to have gotten it on a convention.
I got the black tail at a local anime convention.
Most anime/comic conventions have atleast 1 or 2 real fur shops (as LARP-ers are big fans of fur!) and 1-3 fake animal assecoire (incl tail) shops so you got most chance finding a tail IRL over there!
Aliexpress is also a nice place however it might be cheap and easy but that also means the animal shall been threatened badly, lived shortly, physically hurted etc etc as they do not have money, time or such for giving the animal a good life.
With real furs you are paying for the animals life. The cheaper the (most likely) worse their life.
Hope this helped!
WOOF!
PD
PD I Hope Your having a nice day! Thank you this helped a lot and yes, they said: what is it her besties? Besties? Paige/mysister: Therians. I think she's jealous. MY FLUFFSON! It's Christmas Eve tomorrow TwT not really tomorrow but the day after ^-^
well I hope your chirstmass will be a fun and lovely day after all! :) Happy howlidays and merry woofmas! ;)
WOOF!
PD
Aww thx! I'm Happy To Talk To My Friends Again! ^-^
Thanks for the tips! I'm a furry and therian who loves fake tails and might be wearing mine next school year :]
Not related to tails, but at school I was taken out of the classroom and talked to about flashing gang signs when I drew the Theta-Delta symbol on the back on my hand. They also called my parents and I had to explain. 😂
wow! that's pretty extreme hha, I've never had any problem with people drawing on their hands etc and no one ever thought about it being a gang sign :s I'm sorry hha

✌️Therian Gang!✌️
I asked my mother for a tail and she was like, maybe for your birthday...
And I was like you better );>
I hope you get it then! :)
Clover and Shadow did you get it?
My tail a got a few days ago, the leather is very thick which makes me not that worried about it breaking but it also makes the tail kinda heavy.
Not a therian but I bought a tail for Halloween so this was very helpful thank you 🥰
Once I asked my mom if I can have a tail she said "as long as it's under 16$" I went on vacation got a tail (it's a coyote tail & it's real) I showed my grandma I told her is was real she hated it
Well perhaps your grandma just doesn't like real fur as she finds it cruel towards the animal? I hope your mom likes it more then!
But remember, even if everyone hates it..
The most important is that You like it!
PD my grandma just don't like animal tails/skins because it's real she doesnt like animals
:( But I wear it anyway
Oh that's not nice :/ she doesn't like animals at all?
Oh I hate it when people are violent to animals like that! As, even when it doesn't actually hit them, it does more damage to the animal than people think. Like, it makes them stressed and scared etc etc. If I were you, I honestly, no matter how much I would love my grandma, wouldn't let her in my house anymore. My cats are my friends, if someone throws something at my friends, I'll respectfully show them the door and never allow them to cross that door anymore.
PD I actually have to live with her, but I try to protect my cat her name is Luna so it's her house her rules (she doesn't do it alot but she does it) she does it because she don't like her because Luna scratches the walls etc etc, but I have been teaching Luna not to do that so it wouldn't p#ss off my grandma but we have gotten better to were grandma won't do that so don't worry it not like we're not abusive to Luna or anything else Luna's actually still a happy cat :)
Thank you so much, my tail is new but I haven’t done anything with it but wear it yet. My mum doesn’t care she’s just like ‘eh if you express yourself this way just do it’
I have a tail like the white one from the beginning and it's really puffy and soft (It's a real FOX tail I bought it but I don't know how the fox died)
Hey, nice video! I have a question that I really need answered though... I have a tail, and because Some people are stupid, someone pulled my tail and broke the leather that would hold the clip. We are trying to find a way to sew the tail but we can't figure it out... Does anyone have anything that would help?
Jayfeather S I recently had my own black tail break and fixed it myself, maybe I could help.
Was the clip attached through a hole made in the leather part? My tail (and many) was like that, but the the leather ripped to the hole, which caused my clip to come loose.
I personally made a new hole in my tail and attached the clip through it again. You can also use things like strings or metal ballchains through the hole.
I also personally glued a little metal ring in the hole before attaching the clip again, which should make sure it rips less easily next time.
Don't worry when making a hole, it's not that easy or likely you would rip the whole leather. Just find a flexible spot of leather (hard leather could crack and make the hole unessacary big and easy to break again), take ur scissors and pus them trough, only the tip is enough, ur hole doesn't have to be big. Just big enough to put that chain/string/clip through.
If ur leather/fur was glued to a clip (I got such tail), I don't recommend glueing it again, it will just come loose again probably, and probably soon as most likely your glue is less strong/well put on it then the original makers glue.
Just do the same method as described at the top of this message: make a small hole.
I hopen this somehow helped. Questions are welcome as well as better explaination of how ur tail look like/how the clip was attached before.
WOOF!
PD
PD Thank you! Yes, it was just a ring of leather that I connected a clip to and I don't know if it was just really weak leather or something but the ring just broke in half. I'll think about doing the metal ring because it is the only tail I have.
if u make a hole in the leather of ur tail, just make sure to leave enough space so it won't rip all the way to the edge of your tail again. The leather should be strong enough. Something like that can just happen if you pull hard enough or in the wrong way.
I would poke another hole in the leather and use a ball chain or etc to reconnect it becausr i did that
I’m getting my first tail on Tuesday! I’m so excited
I'm hopefully getting my first tail soon. It's a wolf tail, but I can't find any collie dog tails, so a wolf tail is the best I can find. I haven't had success meditating but I feel connected to collie dogs as well as cats. I don't know, I could just be a wolf therian but I'm still questioning.
This is my old account lol, I’m a gray fox!
Can I like.. Put water on my hand and pet my tail to "wash" them? Is it safe?
As long as you do not get the leather inside wet, it should be completely fine :3 (normally the fur is thick enough not to let the water through the leather if it's only a little bit), just don't get your hand soaking wet (aka don't put a lot of water on your tail). Just hold your hand underneath the water. shake off a bit, then run over the tail :3 That should be fine!
Fur can get wet (but do'nt do it with super hot water, more than 30°C, cuz then you get heat damage and lose softness)
Leather can't.
That's most important :3
Great video, but What do you do if it get mud over it. Because I would like to wear it in the forest but I'm scaread it will get dirty
Well it ain't very simple to get stains like mud, birdpoo etc etc out of tail. What I would recommand is to try out any way of washing that does not get the inside of the tail, the leather, wet. Fur can stand water, just be carefull with pulling out etc. Leather can't. Also: don't use heat water. I would take low or in between. Hot water tends to make things shrink and destroy. Inlcuding fake tails, and I see it being able to destroy real tails as well.
What I would do is, wait. Wait until the mud is dried until it kinda becomes sand. Then try brushing through the hairs, so that the sand falls of. What remains, I would try to wash of with water. And preferably no soap. however, surface clean only! which means that you can wash the fur, but not the leather. So just gotta be carefull :)
i’m not a therian but i’m really into oddities. i bought a red fox tail and hung it up next to my oddity shelf and also use it as an accessory to my bag. luckily my parents were fine with this. it’s honestly so beautiful and i don’t blame therians for having multiple tails.
I just ordered my first tail!!
This video was very useful.
Thank you PD ❤️🖤❤️
Mega Ultra Oof did it come? Mine comes in two days ugh the anticipation
@@Abbie_Loves_John yeah, I got it!!! I got mine of eBay lol, wbu?
OneTon _answer them_
I put some natural hairoils in my tail to fix it (no matter how much combing or whatever it was literally always frizzy and fur got out.) now the fur sticks together a little well and now it looks good as new! only downside is the seller sent me a rotting tail and the other one mostly unfinished :'D
Oi hello so I was wondering where's a good store to buy tails that are real?
OofIvemcfallen Russia hello! I'll both give Good stores and Bad stores just so you are informed well :)
BAD STORES:
-amazon (terrible quality, all furfarms from amazon are very cruel, tails rip within a few months)
-aliexpress (not sure you'll get your package, 9/10 very poor quality, small tails, break easily, SUPER cruel furfarms.)
-Wish (quality is not guaranteed, you can have a nice tail or a real nightmare and one that falls apart instantly. Same for furfarm cruelty, can be super cruel or quiet okay.)
- Any tail under $15. A tail Should cost you some money. Remember that you aren't paying for the product, you are paying for the animals life. A furfarm can't feed a fox with $2, they can't care for them for $2. They won't clean their cages for $2. Even the human workers only get this $2. And even the medical thing they give an animal to die slowly and in peace or to not feel any pain on it's own costs more than $2.
So no tail that costs less than $15 is cruel free.
And any tail that costs less than $5 is an animal that suffered it's entire life so much that it's the most cruel thing you would have ever seen. Not to said killed in cruel ways such as being skinned alive or drown to death.
GOOD STORES:
-Etsy (maaaany real tails from etsy are not that cruel and amazing quality, shapes, lenght, colours,.. You can even look for roadkill furs! Those are cruel free. You can also find Real Wolf tails an furs, not just foxes.)
-Vfurs on Etsy (I'll pass on the link in a bit. They're known for their -mainly- cruel free tails and their Amazing quality)
-Oakenfurshoppe or Oakenfoxshoppe on Etsy (unsure how they're exactly called, i'll pass on the link in a bit. Same as Vfurs. -mainly- no cruel and Amazing quality)
I'll put "furtails" over here as well, a webshop. However it is unsure how they gather their tails, many do recommand them. Know that chances are big that you still receive a tail that is from a very cruel furfarm. Also their tails aren't always nice quality, it highly depends.
Overall their tails are 80% less quality than Vfurs or Oakenfoxshoppe eitherway.
Goodluck!
WOOF!

PD also i subbed.
There is nothing wrong with being furries and a lot of furries are the most kind and accepting people I've ever met, sometimes even more kind and accpeting than some therians I met! Also lots of furries love therians or just don't mind them being around. Sadly there are always exceptions, people who like to be assholes and/or create drama. Just don't mind those! If they call you dumb, They are the dumb ones. After all They are missing out on a Beautiful part of life: being able to see the world through animal eyes. Hha. And ofcourse, I might be a furry but I don't hate therians ;) Also, thank you for the offer and I wish u succes with your pack! But I have mixed feelings about packs and rather not join one for now. I kinda am in one, it's difficult to explain as we are a pack but aren't really one either. haha, just friends I would say. Besides that I don't see the purpose for me to join an internet pack :) I much rather meet up with therians in real life to Actually be there for them, care for them, support them, .. friends.
However thanks a lot for thinking about me and I wish u lots of succes with your pack!
WOOF!

Im a timber wolf therian and getting a beautiful gray (non dyed ) fox tail
I got a tail today (it’s not from a real wolf) and I spent the whole day outside and my dog followed me around and kept sniffing my tail and giving me strange looks. 😆 (I don’t think he likes it)
Is it a fox tail then? :) Well be carefull, dogs are known to grab tails and rip them apart :s
Its a Brown Timber Wolf tail and he's grown attached to it but... yesterday someone decided it would be funny to pull on it AND rip the bottom off... My animal traits started to kick in but i didn't want to scare them! ツ @@PDTherian
@@cherryxr was it a real tail then? It probably wasn't a real wolf tail however, as those are crazily expensive and cost like 100-150$ if you're lucky. Pelts at their own are 300-500$ standard. It's most likely a coyote tail sold as a wolf tail (happens a lot), but that doesn't mean that it wasn't an amazing tail ofcourse. I'm so sorry to hear that it ripped.. i'm glad tho that you didn't attack or so as this could bring you in trouble.
You can try fixing the tail by glueing a piece of fabric on the inside of the leather and connect both parts that way, this way works the best. But is easiest if the tail has good leather. You can also tryin sewing the pieces together or glueing but most likely the tail will rip again in no time in that case.
My dad knows I've always wanted a tale so he won't mind 😂
I'm getting my first tail!!! Yay! It is real and brown I am also getting a grey and black fake Ozzie tail
Cool! Have fun with it! :D
@@PDTherian thanks I will!
When you said cat my cat looked surprised... I have headphones in
Just want to add, sometimes i see situations in which tails just tearing up, i found that they do it only if they are too dry. This part inside of fur need to have a care too, when its too dry - it became more "crunchy". Just use cream on it (even simple cream for hands). Just rub this skin inside and let them dry. They will become as elastic as really new one. And sorry for bad English
Where do you get your tails? They're so pretty! Especially the black one!
I get most of my tails from local markets and comic conventions etc, sorry! However I advice you to read this video description: czcams.com/video/IvC_dVw2hY8/video.html as well as to read this blog: aminoapps.com/c/officialtherian/page/item/list-of-tail-suppliers/N4r2_zl8SWI3JNKMv2NJkz6D1v3oPYZlJRYcK it contains many good and bad sellers!
Thanks so much! I’m getting my tail very soon! :D
Always welcome! :)

when you brush your so carefully you're pretty much just hitting it gently
Is it ok to wear a tail whilst riding a motorcycle? Or will it get matted? Please answer
IceyMeowie ofcourse I answer :3 scroll down at any of my videos hha. I answer every single comment.
I am not afraid of it getting matted really. But I wouldn't recommand it because the wind will be too strong and put stress on the keychain and leather. After some time, or even the first time if the leather is weak, it'll probably rip or break and then your tail will fall off on the middle of the road. If you're on the highway you can't quickly stop to pick it up. And besides that you won't even hear it fall. I'm afraid the leather and keychain will break over time.. or even really soon.
You can try it out. I sometimes bike with my tail. But motorcycles go a bit faster. So I'd honestly think very carefully over it. It's a risk.
IceyMeowie oh and a little tip: wind is actually good in tails. I've had matted and klitted tails get. Less klitted or matted after some hours in the wine. It doesn't do wonders, but it's not bad either :3
It's even better than hanging in a room in some dust every single day hha.
So surely let them air out every now and then I'd say! :D
Ok thank you
how can you tell if your therian
werewolf Play's it sounds easier than it seem but basicly a therian is just someone who identifies as an animal.
Identifies = feel as if they are the animam.
So basicly all you need to do is ask yourself:
"Do I feel like a non-human animal?"
If the answer is yes: congratulations, by theory you are a therian.
Now it's not needed to know What animal you identify as (yet) to be a therian. I know many 30 year olds who are Still on the search for the exact animal they identify as.
Side note: also know that shifting (mental/phantom/..) is not needed either to be a therian :)
Goodluck :)
WOOF!
PD
PD thanks I found out that I was therian but I don't have a tail,a necklace,a collar,and a leash do I need this stuff to be therian
werewolf Play's werewolf Play's while Therian gear (tails, collars, etc..) is a fun thing and while many therians wear those. It's absolutely Not needed to be a therian. And Wearing Therian Gear does not make one more of a therian or a better therian than any other therian.
It's not needed to wear Therian Gear to be a therian, just like it's not needed to wear a tshirt to be a human ;)
Extra: a dog therian might wear a tail, but even a fish therian could wear a tail! You wear somethig because you like it for whatever reason :) not for being a certain species.
So without gear, you are just as much as a therian as me and anyone else!
Hope this helped :3
WOOF!
PD
I made a black wolf tail from my dogs' spider toy. Their dog toy was a giant derpy spider, and there was a black fluffy leg on it. I cut it off, ripped all the plastic out of it, did some sewing, stuffed it with fluff, put a stretchy string around it, and done! It works very well and I love it since it's my first tail ever. No money was spent and no fur was used from a real animal which is the best part!
The way I’m getting gear is saying it’s for my Halloween costume and ye
I just found out about this stuff-
Hydric SFM Hi! Welcome to my channel, I hope I can provide you the information what you are looking for. Therianthrophy is all about Identity.
I hope you'll find what you need, weither u turn out to be a therian or not.
If I can help anywhere, just tell/ask me.
Goodluck on ur path of self-discovery!
WOOF!
PD
PD hmm.. Recently found about therians and that. :p seems neato
I learned that my cats loved my real tail buy trying to eat gladly I got it from them before it was damaged.
I just asked my parents for a tail, they said why, and I just broke down and said I was a therian. After a few minutes of explaining my parents say they will support me and I got a tail! I’m so happpyyy c:
Im a wolf therian
cool!
I want my dragon tail because i feel like one
I keep on rewatching , thank you PD❤
guys!! if u live in pa theres a taxidermy place with tails! its called mz jones curio in greensburg, i went and there were a bucnh of raccoon tails and i think my sister got a coyote tail!, they also have a bunch of things in jars!
ive got a genuine fur tail (fox, if i remember right) and sadly it's been poorly made. the fur almost looks like its heat damaged, and the leather at the top has started to split a little. luckily, i managed to patch the leather, but i cant undo heat damage to the tail, so i have to be very careful with it lol.
aside from that, its the bushiest tail ive ever seen, and its so soft and fluffy. my cat curled around it once and tried to lick it clean lmao.
normally real anymal fur doesn't act on heat like fake fur does. Fake fur gets heatdamage as it's litterally plastic that melts. While real fur would either catch fire or have no effect (loose from hairloss and leather quality going backwards) If the fur is fuzzy with little waves it may be matted or so? brushing help,but be careful. It could also just be the fox (like how some dogs have simular fur) or the fox may have been in shedding period before the tail got taken off
This was great and kinda helped me alot more. I have one tail at the moment that I've had for 2 years now at the least? And it's not the colour for my theriotype. But next month (Which is my birthday xD) I will be getting a Black one so yay x3 thanks for the video
Caitlin the Therian i hope you'll like and enjoy your tail you are getting! :) I'm also glad I could help somehow.
Happy early birthday ;)
WOOF!
PD
a long time ago i got outted by my cousin. he told my paremts and they said it was a phase. and they didnt get me ANY maskss or tails, until now when i asked and my mom sighed and said, "whatever, be your weird self" but she keeps calling me a freak show for doing quads :(
What I do to fluff em up is I just hold on to the keychain and shake it aggressively but not too aggressively.
Where do you get your tails from? Because I live in the Netherlands and getting good tails is around €50
My first ever tail was bought on a christmass market in Antwerp for €15, this was the (rotting) blue fox tail, however his tails are usually way better quality (I just really didn't have any luck with this tail sadly), this person was just someone doing the tails as a hobby, making a small bussiness out of it, he had no website. My second tail (my favorite, the unknown fox, dyed white one) was honestly bought through Aliexpress for €6 (However it was described to be fake, so I did not mean to buy a real one). My third one, the fake grey wolf tail was gifted by a friend who bought it as a convention. My last tail, the real black tail, was bought at a big anime/comic-convention called Facts for €10, a english talking girl sellings lots of hand-crafted things such as fake real-looking animal hats and real fur tail.
I recommand aliexpress, this is cheap and easy. However if you get a real tail, the animal is most likely being threatened badly as it is too cheap to give the animal a good life. If you get a fake tail, it could be that you are accidently buying a real tail.
I recommand going by small craft stores or contact cosplayers/Larp-ers or people who love crafting and/or taxidermy, those often make tails just for fun and as an art form and are glad to help you for not that much money (looking to get a yarn tail? especially the cosplay community helps well with that)
I recommand to look out for both real as fake fur tails at anime/comic conventions, those sell them often. You just have to look out for them! Those could either be really expensive (50 dollars or more) or really cheap (like the 10 dollars one). Depending on the seller.
WOOF!
PD
PD thanks! I've been getting my tails of aliexpress for a couple of years now but I've wanted to try different sellers. Thx for the information
you are welcome! :)
WOOF!
PD
God, that old intro makes me nostalgic!
Happy to hear that you might have watched my videos years ago !
@@PDTherian Indeed :) Was part of the team making subtitles. Good times
Tbh I feel like fake tails are usually better. The real ones are cool but only if the animal died of natural cause. Just killing them for the fur is screwed up.
so glad i found this video. i was a little worried about getting a real tail, since ive only had one when i was very little but it broke shortly after and that was before i even knew what a therian was(even though it was like the most perfect tail for my theriotype...) but im unable to find any wolf tails in my wolfs color, and coyote tails are pretty much the perfect pelt. my only fear is that a coyote tail will be too small.
My dog is scared of my tail :) although I try not to wear it around her sometimes I have to. Also like if your tail gets really dirty how to you wash it?
then it's likely a real tail. Real tails cannot be washed as their core is leather and leather breaks when wet.. so also be careful around water and rain. The only thing you can do is surface-clean it by going with a towel over the hairs. be sure to hang it up to dry and that no water will drip into the leather or your tail may break apart
@@PDTherian okay, thanks. Not saying that my tail got dirty I just wanted to know what to do if it did. Thanks PD
Ok this is useful especially since I'm getting these blood red ears and tail idk if they're real or fake so I'll have to see
FYI your real white fox tail looks like it might from a abusive fur farm because the part were its closest to the change its skinny and then while it goes down it gets thicker, that's something to look out for so I think your White tail might just be from a abusive fur farm.Hope that little tips helps in the future.
Hey! Thank you, I'm not sure if I mentioned it in this video but I am well aware that my white fox tail comes from a chinese fur farm (and therefore likely from an abused fox). It was my first ever purchased fox tail back in 2016 on aliexpress before I myself was educated. The shape however has never striked me as odd, as it is a pretty standard polar fox tail shape to be honest. Polar foxes have a different shape than your standard red fox. But I'll keep your advice to mind. Despite the source of this tail, I still use it up to this day and love it deeply. I've never purchased from aliexpres/wish/.. again ever since.
Yikes, I read your comment on URSFUR. I was going to buy a tail from them and Forison, I’m not quite sure now. I bought my first tail off Etsy-I guess I’ll continue on Etsy. Thanks for putting that comment!
Thanks a lot for reading the comments! :D It's sad how we figured out that URSFUR (and forison likely too) imports chinese furs to then sell as so said 'american furfarm furs' :/ aka animal cruelty. Goodluck! Etsy is usually a safe place to buy from.
@@PDTherian Thanks!
some real tails can take a lot of water. i was in my town walking around with a friend when we got caught in a downpour it was raining so hard and so much! as we were running to find cover i grabbed my silver fox tail and put it under my shirt when we got to cover i checked it and it was soaked i got as much water out as i could and as soon as we got in her house i brushed it and then hung it in front of fan after it was fully dry i checked the leather and it was completely ok and it is still doing very well to this day.
Blackstar the Polykin & PolyTherian very few taxidermists actually make tails “waterproof” by adding mink oils or other material. It’s a bit expensive and most tail makers don’t do this (still wouldn’t recommend washing a tail often etc as you could wash away the protective coat)
You seem to be lucky :)
Do you have any idea where you got your tail from?
@@PDTherian oh yea i don't wash if it does get dirty i first try to brush the dirt out and then i use a baby wipe. I got my tail from a fram show there was this guy there with a stand full of a sorts of tails, hats, pelts and other thing made from animals for sell. He was a hunter and trapper and i bought it from him for $20
My parents are unsupportive about me being a therian, they think it is not real and it is just a childish thing. Anyways they are not allowing me to get a tail, so I will make one out of yarn
I was actually gong to ask my dad for a tail tomorrow I'm nervous cuz I have asked before and said it was for cosplay but he just kept asking why I wanted it but he doesn't know the real reason cuz I'm a bit shy to tell them but I'm sure I will at some point anyway please wish me luck this video really helped me ty!!
This was super helpful I did the tail fluffing thing and it totally worked also I wasn’t sure if my tail was real. I got it at a renaissance festival and it felt real and has leather inside and also sheds so I thought it was real but this confirmed that it was real so thanks.
Hey girl it’s me ,Yawneya. Really enjoyed this ,and it helped me a lot.
I'm glad I could help you out!
WOOF!
PD
I got a tail for Christmas and getting the head and paws this Christmas my commission was made 2 years ago and in 1 year they made a tail and nearly finished the feet and paws!
I asked my dad about every thing i need and he said ok AND EVEN WANTS TO HELP ME WITH MY FIRST MASK😂😂
My parents dont realky give a shit if i buy a tail or paw socks/gloves as long as i pay for them lol. To get mine i did a bunch of extra chores and spent my money on a tail. Im gonna be getting a raccoon tail as i have a raccoon theriotype! Im so excited! And i can put it on my backpack for school and say its just a keychain! And that might help me find therians or supporters at my school❤
What is better? A fake tail or a "real" tail ?
Ps: idk how ima get a real cat tail cause it is not legal (i think) because im a "wild" cat therian..
Edit: a fake better finally..
Étienne &Co czcams.com/video/sIfIfe8PwmU/video.html this video compares the harm of fake tails with the harm of reall tails
Indeed, real cat tails are illegal. However raccoon, lync, bobcat & tanuki tails can look very much like cat tails and so can several fox tails
i have some fake fur tails but today my mum ordered me my first real tail!!
I'm not allowed to wear my long ass tail to school 😂
Also do the oils ever wear of?
In my experiences: no. They don't.
In theory however they Could wear of if the tail gets in contact with rain/water all too often. As well as shampoos and soap (as that's made to take oils and dirt away).
However I've rolled in snow with my tails, ran in the rain (no heavy rain however) etc and my tail is still being strong so I wouldn't be afraid of water.
Just never wash your tail with soap.
Never wash your tail in general (besides surface cleaning with a lil' bit of water), as wet leather gets hard and breaks easily so you'll destroy your tail.
In general you do'nt have to be afraid of the oils coming off. But don't push the limits either.
WOOF!
PD
PD okay thanks
My friend had one and I told her to bring it to my house and I went over to my mom and said ".... This is cool.... Can-i-get-one?????" And she was like "no wtf why do you want a dead fox" so I just annoyed her for months and she said she's get it for me for my birthday and my birthday was 8 days ago and I did get it
I love the white tail
So uhh--… i’m practically under aged lmao but i bought my first tail a few says ago, my mom thought it was cool when i showed her :’) it was also the first time i have ever ordered anything online so :D
my school has a uniform but I can still wear a tail and my teachers compliment my tail :3
All I had to do was ask my dad and show him a picture of the tail.
Me: hey I found this fox tail and it's really pretty (shows picture of tail)
Dad: hmmm
Me: (nervous as fuck)
Dad: are you going to wear it?
Me: um y-yeah um m-maybe heh (sweating)
Dad: ok well just as long as you wear it
Me: thanks😄
Dad: (orders tail)
Me: (flipping out)
Dad: it said it should be here in a week
Me: ok :D
Me: (goes to my room) AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH :D
neko demon oh wow that's absolutely amazing! :D I lied at first that it would be for a cosplay to get one haha but at the end my mom just doesn't mind at all either xD
Goodluck and have fun with your tail! :D
PD thanks ^w^
