You can also use panty liners in bodysuits to keep the suit from causing a visible wedgie!
Rachel C YES!! I'm glad you mentioned that, that's a really good tip! đ
AnyaPanda you are awesome and inspiring I am a very young Cosplayer and I really liked your tips keep up your great cosplay!
Or cameltoe, for people that have those bits.
I was just gonna say that! cause when you do a cosplay thats a bit tight down there it can look weird and be uncomfortable but they toltlaly help and they are usually pretty cheap.
OMG yes! I always wear a pad for cosplay! I feel more confident too
*isnt a cosplayer*
I will literally do all of this from now on. Have I worn a dress in the last three years? No. Will I do it now with my skater tights? Heck yes.
......what is this witchcraft?! I have never heard of skater tights....where do I get these!!!!
Nice u do figure skating!? I do too
@@Shmoltiger .-.
Cool!
Yasaas girl wear them
âBecause cameras hate usâ Thatâs so true đđđ
DarkStream Gaming really true đđ
Life lessons
This is so true!! I swear...people already have low enough self esteem...no need to make it worse!!!!
When I record my voice I sound like a boy but irl I sound like a normal girl and I look cute and cameras make me *ugly ugly ugly* (CAMERAS HATE ME TOO)
âąKaede Akamatsuâą YOUR BEAUTIFUL!!! đđđŒđ€ also ayyy danganronpa! âđŒđ
âPeriods should be normalisedâ YASS QUEEN Iâve been waiting for someone to say this out loud HIGH FIVE
Women have periods it is just a thing you do in the bathroom just like most people don't like talking about pooping all the time. Sometimes we are just gross humans.
@@logcabininaforest not all women have periods lol and some ppl who are not women have periods
@@user-ow6mr1np7g That is scientifically impossible only women can have periods. As a women I know the pain.
@@logcabininaforest they could be referring to gender and not biological sex idk tho
@@logcabininaforest if a women was born without a uterus, im pretty sure they can't have kids or periods.
OK BUT THE PANTY LINER THING JUST BLEW MY MIND AND IT DIDN'T EVEN CROSS MY MIND TO USE THEM TO SOAK UP ARMPIT SWEAT!
I have cosplay tips!! Wearing foundation or concealer on your lips before applying your lipstick will help keep it on. If you cosplay someone with tattoos or skin markings you can buy tattoo paper! Design what you need on a computer and print it off and you have the right tattoos or markings with no need to draw on yourself XD My last tip I can think of, if you find the perfect shoe for a cosplay but it's too big if you can get away with it just layer socks on your feet until the shoe fits... Just some things I've learned XD
I totally support the tattoo paper! Only thing it can be a pain with is sleeves, which I found was my downfall when I did Chloe Price :(
Shazza Rose yeah that's the only down side, big pieces.. :/
I literally do the concealer on my lips for day to day make up, I love it
Rayne Blackwater I use it for every day makeup too! Does really work
Danielle Oliver you can also put tattoos on dance tights if you donât mind not reusing them for big leg tattoos. You can dye them also, however, look for the appropriate dye (mixed with acid or similar) for nylon material.
*See's vocaloid figures, keeps eyes on the vocaloid figures*
Its finger licking good thatâs literally what I did for half of the video
@@v2hye310 lol same

*well f-*
me too
If you canât afford a bodysuit which can be really expensive, I suggest buying a leotard and leggings. A leotard is what gymnast use. I had put together a chat noir cosplay a couple years ago and instead of paying $40-60 for a bodysuit I spent $25 on a leotard and leggings that matched the same colour black.
Ashley Chamberlain Thanks for the great tip! âđ
Eeeeeeeeeeeeee miraculous
Do have a link to your cosplay
I bought a skin suit and cut the head off and hemmed it then painted it with black acrylic paint. Then I glued flats to the bottom with E 6000. That's how I made a ladybug jump suit for roughly $50.00

DID SOMEONE SAY MIRACULOUS?
Tights that doesn't rip appars the minute you put them on EXIST FOR REAL????
Swedi Candy Crazy right?? Our prayers are answered. đ
Dance tights!!!! I love the open foot ones where you can slide them off at the foot
dance tights
Swedi Candy Support thights are also extremely durable and even when you get a hole in them (which is extreeeeeemely hard) it won't spread
dance tights theyâre shimmery and make your legs look amazing i dance too so I use them for both cosplay and dance and holy shit I live for them
I'm pretty sure everyone knows this already.This is more of a packing for conventions hack. Roll your cosplays instead of folding them not only will it save space in your suite case but there is less of a chance of causing them to wrinkle.
Thank you so much for this! I would've never thought of doing that.
a tip i've heard so you have more room in your suitecase coming baCK from the con:
fold your clothes on the way there, and roll them on the way back. that way, you now have room for stuff you bought, and you can also distinguish whats clean and dirty if you didnt wear everything. (clean ones keep folded.)
i do this for performances too as i am and have been a dancer for going on seven years and travelling with costumes is much easier when theyre rolled up in a gym bag. im not sure if you could do this with styled wigs though, so could you suggest how to pack those please?
@@furrybabbit350 What I've done is I leave the wig on the wig head and put a plastic bag over it and putting in a box. That's what I've done in the past and it worked for me.
@@twistedrose ok thank you! i wasnt quite sure what to do there lol.
My best hack is to sew hidden pockets into costumes, if possible. I carry a con bag, but I always add pockets for my wallet and phone (plus additional ones for any small/medium props) so I can have them quicker than digging in a bag. (The more pieces a costume has, the easier it is to hide pockets.)
YOOOOO I always forget that's a thing you can do, great idea!
I'm making a rose quartz cosplay and I have room for a whole filing cabinet under my skirt so I'm putting pockets under the top layer
Dance tights are really good for cosplay because they are stronger(cause they have to last through dancing and stuff)and last longer.They are 10/10
YES. DANSKIN TIGHTS. ARE. A. LIFESAVER.
I have at least 7 pairs of dance tights (I dance) and I really want to use them for cosplay :) I recommend Danskin Convertible tights x
+
Also they're thicker so at cold cons, your legs stay warm. We used to double layer out body tights during dance if it was winter
I dance and I can totally back this just don't run your nails over them if they're long/sharp
Panty liners can also be used in shoes that rub. Better than using bandaids
Rhi Hylia You can also glue felt into the shoes at the rub points! :D
panty liners are just the heroes of cosplay is what I'm getting from this
I do that with my New Rock boots
Thank youuuu
I find they slip too much
I used tights one year for a cosplay because my legs had a bad reaction to Nair right before the convention. Life. Saver.
Hope Brooks Nair is awful!!
âPeriods are a part of being a personâ âMany people have periodsâ
*your local trans boy smiles*
Chilidog 02 trans guys donât even get periods because of testosterone though??
+StarSailorMars
If they havenât transitioned yet, they still get periods. Lots of trans men still have periods their whole lives because they donât want to have testosterone shots. And thatâs okay. Some people are okay with just outwardly being their gender, without having surgery or meds.
@@user-ey9ny9ie1r you ever heard of something called pre-t?? it's genrally younger trans guys who aren't on t for various reasons, like being closeted, or your parents don't accept you, or parents not wanting them to start t. there's a lot of reasons why a trans guy wouldn't be on t. just depends from person to person
@Violet Raven ăŻăȘăčăżă« False. Again, some trans men have menstrual cycles. Also, trans women don't have a cycle at all.
@@iamsimplythebest7440 Even with testosterone, many trans men still get their cycles. The only way to full prevent it is by going through surgery to remove the uterus.
An alternative to panty liners: something I use a lot is the Axilla-shield underarm sweat pads. You get a full coverage and they come shaped to fit regular sleeve sizes - so you won't have to cut them to size or layer them like liners to get the right fit. They're also thicker than some of the cheaper panty lines I've come across. :)
+
Iâm Australian. Donât even start.
Amusing pantyliner usage in cosplay - big, manly Klingon warriors will often have one under their forehead prosthesis to deal with obvious sweating problems ^.~
Oh my gosh that's fantastic!
Oml really!? Awsome
one from meeeee
when i cosplayed uraraka from bnha for halloween, i was afraid of being cold (i was specifically cosplaying her sports festival outfit), so i cut a pair of pantyhose at the crotch and basically wore them as a shirt under the tank top! it sounds rlly weird but it helped a lot aha
I do that with fishnet stockings all the time to make a top. It's an oldschool goth hack :)
finally a BNHA comment
Thank you i'm gonna be uraraka
Any tips for not getting a breeze to lift your skirt when your toga-
I mean I hate the boys in my class-
You wear a cosplay with a skirt for the Halloween costume day and you get wolf whistles all around-
I swear theyâre worse than the grapist.
@@sillychuu wear a pair of shorts under the skirt!! if you get a pair that's shorter they shouldn't show normally too
when youre 6 seconds in and already know youre gonna like a channel a lot. your sense of humor is great
Roenais same! đ
Roenais Same!!!
awesome video! lots of great tips and some i didn't even know about haha
A hack that worked for me is if you're ever doing an EVA foam armor cosplay....use the extra foam to make a hidden pocket for your phone/wallet đđđ
ThatGuyYouKnowww Yoooooo that's super smart!! đđ
good idea
DUDE YOU'RE A LEGEND
THANK YOU đ
Oooooooohhhhhhhhh!!!! That's super helpful, thanks!
ThatGuyYouKnowww cool, im doing an eva foam armor suit rn too, ill think about that
I used to Irish dance and it still surprises me that the cosplay community hasnât fully embraced sock glue. In Irish dance you have to keep up your socks so you have like special glue to stick them to your legs and keeps it up all day and doesnât hurt much to take off and works perfect with cosplay socks. So if you really donât want tights or need like even gloves to stay in place on your arms it works for that too.
if you have dark colored eyebrows and canât find anything to color your eyebrows to match the wig, put a color pencil in warm water until itâs soft enough to draw on skin. then CAREFULLY draw on your eyebrows.
Also if they have eye shadow that matches, they can use a white eye liner yo cover the hairs and then cover it in eye shadow.
pencil seems lowkey dangerous, recommendation is to color with your lighest concealer and then use eyeshadow
Never ever try to put toxic substances near your eyes, mouth and nose. Your skin and mucosaes can suffer from toxins and draining.
This is definitely not a good tip. These are not meant to go on skin. Just buy a cheap eyebrow pencil at the drug store for like $3. Theres gonna be a color to match. At the very least, use eyeshadow. Dont use colored pencil
@@demontitania Crayola is non toxic and works extremely well
Professional costume designers use the pad hack! I studied costume design and I always asked designers I worked with and most knew/used them. it really helps sometimes!
Also, I'm just saying, from when I did my Harley Quinn cosplay, my tights were like, skin-tight
Slightly padded liners can help you avoid cameltoe in photos :)
I thought of the skin-coloured tights thing a looong time but not so much for cosplay, but just that my legs are so goddamn white compared to the rest of me. And I have various scars from scrapes and falls over the years that are just unflattering. So I invested in a few pairs for when I wore shorts and skirts.
Shazza Rose ballerinas use them for their scars, bruises and âtoo muscularâ legs
I use very thin cloth pads, they feel better than liners and you don't have to worry about them unsticking if you end up in a hot venue where you end up sweating a lot!
I feel you
My skin is practically glowing on my legs and I scar easily, I literally have pinkish white patches(scars) on the bottom of my knee lol
same, though im just really tan, and i have some wack thingy that I get bumps on my arms and legs, so its really.. really ew for me. sorry for being late doe
I used to do Irish step dancing, and we would get this roll on glue stuff for people who cat where socks with elastic in them to keep our socks up. I assume it would work with any knee high or thigh high socks too.
If you have naturally dark hair (Like me) Then shaving just enough of your sideburns to meet the wig cap line will assist with lighter wig cosplays. I did it for Vic(k)tor from Yuri!!! on Ice, and it worked well. I just used eyeshadow that matched the wig to cover the shaved sides of my head, and no one noticed i shaves anything. I suggest giving that a shot.
I know this comment is from 2 years ago but what if your not allowed to shave your side burns, is there a hack for that??
@@gachaartpotato9972 i'd say just cover them in white makeup of some kind and then a matching foundation for your skin. then use eyeshadow that matches the wig. I hope that works for you
@@ravencatcos Ty!! But is there something more simple for cosplay for fun (not a con etc)
@@gachaartpotato9972 I'm the type of person that goes all the way in either situation so i just do the same thing. Not much help im sorry. I'd suggest experimenting and seeing what works. Have fun
@@ravencatcos Ty!!
Cosplay hack: If your stockings are running a lot in the lower area of your leg, first spray them with hairspray to stop the run, then sew your thigh high socks to the stockings to both keep them up and always have stockings when you wear those particular socks. I like to wear thigh high socks out of cosplay as well, so I have a pair of stockings that are basically tights as well, and I've found it a very easy way to keep your stockings a while longer. When you sew it, though, handsew it. It'll show less, be easier to do, and if the stockings continue to run above the socks, the handsewing stitches are easier to remove. I hope this little comment helped a little ^-^
Tohru Chan That's a great idea, thank you for sharing! đđđ
No problem âȘ I just hope I helped someone out a little, really.
I know I'm 7 months late to this party, but just wanted to pop in to tell anyone else reading this late, you can also use clear nail polish or clear top coat polish to stop a run in your nylons. In my experience, it works better than hairspray.
A lot of my Captain America cosplay friends wear pantyliners in their helmets to stop sweat from dripping down their foreheads! They are so useful!
Ballet tights are awesome for the same reason, they make them with convertible feet so you can make them footless if you need while being thin and moveable enough to wear socks over if you need. They also covered all the bruises on my legs from my job đ
Jonx Cosplay I love these! And the colours are excellent
They run super easily though! As a dancer who has worn these most days of the week they run so so so so SO easily. I wouldn't wear them with a cosplay that has anything that can catch on the tights
they also are more comfy in my opinion because theyre made to wick sweat
Iâm going to use these hacks! Hereâs some of mine:
If you have a character with blood all over them, put fake blood all over yourself and not just your face. If youâre worried about your cosplay getting ruined, you putting blood on it will probably just enhance the resemblance of that character. If you use the cosplay for more than one character then maybe just add a LITTLE blood on your hands and face, maybe a little on other exposed skin. I donât know why, with fake blood I say a little or ALL.
Hereâs another one, if you have a colorful wig, itâs not really a problem with natural colored wigs, then fill in your eyebrows the color as the wig. You donât need anything fancy, some eye shadow will work. If you canât find the exact color then a variation will work. If you have thicker, dark eyebrows then you can get away with a darker and probably warmer toned wig without doing something to your eyebrows. If you have thinner, lighter brows like me, filling them in will really enhance how your cosplay looks. Especially in pictures. I swear I have more photos of myself with drowned out eyebrows than I do nicer looking pictures. It just helps. :3
Also, hereâs a tip for anyone doing a non-canon character. Like from an AU, ex-Reverse Falls. Then mess around with the design absolutely insanely! You donât even have to go off fanart unless you want to. Thatâs why my Reverse Mabel is my favorite cosplay apart from one that I do atm. In most fanart you see (this isnât critique at all) her with brown hair. Well, I mixed it up and gave mine white hair like Gideon (one of her inverses.) Just mess around with it!
There was mine, đđ
Thank you some of these hacks will help me and cool.
TheAn1meGirl 2000 glad i could help
:)
so, do you have anything to say to people with thick dark brows about covering them cause like, just telling people to stick to wigs/characters with their already natural hair color kinda takes the fun out of dressing up
Rayne Blackwater I know it does and I think I remembered one now. Iâm not a professional cosplayer, they were just my own tips. Iâm really sorry I couldnât give you a tip of my own before but hereâs one that may work. Thereâs this hack to put translucent powder on your brows and a layer of washable school gluestick until your eyebrows are lighter. Then put your shade of concealer on top so you can more easily draw them on. Again, Iâve tried on my light brows and it works and I have seen it work on darker brows but everyoneâs different. You could probably look up tips on this from more qualified people. Iâm navigating the cosplay world like everyone else đ hope it helped some!
I may get a pair of skating tights for my silent hill nurse cosplay! I'm not too comfortable with how short I need the dress to be so the skating tights shohuld help. Thank you so much!
idk why but when you said âpeople have periodsâ instead of âwomen have periodsâ my heart went đ„șđ„șđ„șđ„șđ„ș
Oh my god you just saved my life. Wig clips! Why didn't i think of that!? You probably don't know Judal from magi, he's god huge hair and my wig is enormous and super heavy but this might just work. Bless you! And happy new year, by the way :*
Stefania Sorea OH HI MARK
Oana CÄlinoiu stop following me
Stefania Sorea NOT MY FAULT THAT I KEEP COMING ACROSS YOUR COMMENTS ON THE VIDEOS THAT I WATCH
Oh god, I can just imagine. Judal's wig has to be crazy heavy.
For heavy wigs, making pin curls, tiny buns, or little french braids along your hairline to slide your bobby pins into can be real life savers!
Wow, the panty liners one is so clever, I'd never have thought of that!
I wear a lot of full-face masks, and I think slapping some panty liners on the inside of the mask might help absorb some of the sweat that builds up on my forehead and stuff. Wild.
I love wig clips! My first Hatusne Miku wig was really cheap and I did the pigtails myself so it kept falling down. I used 3, two in front, one in back, and now I do that with most of my long wigs. They're really cheap on ebay and the exact same quality as getting them at a beauty store.
I'm just smiling when you're talking about how cosplayers don't think about which cosplays in relation to weather. I was considering the fact that I was just doing the opposite. :)
You should make a video of how to sew in the clips into your wig!
Alex-Senpai It's very simple to do, plus there are probably tutorials out there already.
Tip for beginners:
If it's your first time wearing contacts, I highly suggest doing it before makeup and maybe waking up an hour early.
On my second con, I decided to wear contacts for the first time. It looked easy so I woke up at 7 and did my makeup first so I could finish by 10am. Turns out it was really hard and all my makeup was washing off because of my tears. I ended up going to the con around 1pm without having lunch at all.
tbh, regarding the tights - I can also recommend investing in light compression tights
I work for a company that sells them, they look just like any other tights, but boy howdy, considering you are up 90% of the time, your legs will be dying by the time you get to lay down! Compression tights help with swelling and tiredness (mind you I do mean Prophylactic or Compression Class 1 coz that is the lighter compression, and on CCL2 you might need to discuss it with a doc) so your legs will feel less dead!
My boss legit wears our produce herself, and believe you me she works part time in a skating rink for a hokey league - she cant stop praising the tights.
This video was actually super useful, it's amazing how many things you can miss even over a few years of on and off cosplay (though I'm not so sure how comfortable tights would be to us guys) -- would you consider doing a makeup for beginners video? That would be crazy useful for those of us who've never learnt makeup and are left a bit stumped on what to do (like myself)
edit: also- yes! we should normalise periods, I'm sick of seeing people ashamed of what their bodies naturally do
Questionably Hollow Since I'm not comfortable showing my natural appearance in videos, makeup tutorials aren't something I'd be able to easily do unfortunately. However there are many beginner makeup tutorials out there already -- for example MangoSirene has a beginner cosplay makeup tutorial on her channel that's quite good.
Ahh thank you for the recommendation I'll be sure to check it out
I would suggest using BB cream as a starting point. It does several things at once and I use it for cosplays that require super smooth or lighter skin than my own.
if you did want to use tights, they have dancer tights with extended crotches for that reason
I love how she used people instead of girl when talking about periods đ my big brother is ftm and it makes me happy when ppl add the fact that a lot of pre-T males go through the same things đ
I'm literally sewing wig clips into a wig while watching this!!! I get mine from Sally's (any beauty store or wig store should have them) in 12 packs for around $3. I love skating tights! I also suggest dance tights, they're super durable, cheap, come in TONS of colors, and you can get convertible ones that you can pull off your feet to walk barefoot without ruining your tights.
Omh the skater tights hack is so useful to know!!! I will definitely use that thank you!!!
"Yeah its such a hassel get stuff shipped to Canada"
The entirety of UK Cosplayers roll their eyes in union xD
*South American cosplayers sighing*
Pompeii - Catf33t Australian cosplayers laugh...
*Indian cosplayer crying*
Italian cosplayer hugs you all, you're not alone
essentially everyone not from America
YES! As someone who is in musicals, as well as cosplaying, the no shows over tights work SOOOO well!
A panty liner for sweat soakers?! That is the best idea I ever heard! I will totally use that for my new cosplay
That wig + your outfit
You look like young Mikasa :D
Btw thanks for those tips
This video is so helpful. I didnt known the while panty liner to help with sweat. Omgosh that would have been helpful last year but I cant wait to try it out this year for my Ladybug cosplay!!!
Definitely using it when I do mine! I might do Viperion, but for now Iâm doing Luka!
great tips! I completely agree with tights one. I wear tights with pretty much any cosplay. It just makes for a cleaner look.
Yas, normalizing periods! Love that!
Also, just found your channel and subscribed! Really loving all these tips.
this is weird but im just so happy that you said many PEOPLE have periods, not only women because there are men and many enby people that still deal with periods
Literal mood. I second you.
Only women have period, but ok.
I hate when people confound biological sex and gender.
Only women get periods because it's a biological thing, but it doesn't represent your gender.
majinfreecell Biologically, yes. But people that donât identify as female can still have periods
majinfreecell um.. do you know about trans people yet... this has gotta be a kid
I personally have never had a period, however I can tell you that some U.S. Army Drill Sergeants put panty liners in the brim of their hats to absorb sweat and keep it from ruining their felt hats. Cool video!
She is bacc!đ
WEIRD I never left. :P
AnyaPanda
I haven't seen you since last year. It's been so long!
WEIRD
She is bacc

With some more
Cosplaying haccs
ç ŽæĄæšèĄŁæ¶ you deserve more likes wtf
tbh??? the gnc and trans-inclusive talk of periods made me subscribe.
aksiznerfgun yessssss same!! as a trans boy i thought it was super cool of her to do that :D
There is nothing inclusive about pretending that all humans are equally likely to get their period. Biological, healthy female human beings with normal body functions get their period. And biology does not give a crap about your personal identity. The whole part was just irritating to listen to.
SomeSeal ??? but if you have the parts that biologically can make you get a period, you can get a period, no one ever said anything about every human or someone who doesn't have the biology to be capable of getting a period, she just said the word 'person' instead of 'female' because there are some gnc and trans peeps who have the bits to get a period, but none of us identify as female so we tend to feel left out of these types of conversations, so we simply just appreciated it because its not something that happens often
Same
Imagine being so insecure in your own being that you get upset when someone uses inclusive language.
I love how you included transgender/nonbinary people by saying that not women but people get periodsđ
instant subscribe
I was going to say the same thing
Alina Koslowsky me too!It made me so happy
instant gay
She could've just said women though...testerone and all that shit makes you infertile and so no periods. Also birth control. Nonbinary people ARE either men or women. Just the scientific sex. So saying women would have been find.
Not a cosplayer but that tip about skater tights is helpful for outfits! I didn't know there were basically skin colored thermal wear! Definitely looking into buying those. I imagine people will look at me and think I'm freezing in fall and winter when I'm wearing a skirt lol
Thank you so much for your "normalising periods" chat!!! It's so refreshing to hear people talk about normal human bodily functions. Also your videos are great thank you for such a funny channel!
Yoooo, they've got sheer thigh high stockings at walmarts in a huge array of colors. I'm so white that I mix white goth makeup with the lightest foundation to mix to my skintone- they have ones that suit me. They look so good on, nobody knows you're wearing them. And where they're thigh high, you don't have extra crotch fabric to give you heat stroke!
Wig clips are the best!!!
I have been using them for years an every new wig i get i put them in straight away đ i have a Sailor Pluto wig an without them i would struggle with keeping it on due to its length. The other tips...took notes đ
okay hi i'm just popping in to say thank you very much for using non-gendered language when talking about the period stuff!! it seems like a really small thing but it really means a lot
Jackson does Dumb Things I was about to say I'm so thankful she didn't say women!!
I wear tights on every cosplay that shows legs and panty liners whenever there is sleeves on my cosplay.I din't know about the skating tights, thank you for the hacks!
I knew about dance tights, never thought about skating tights... Definitely checking that one out!
Happy New Years Anya, thanks for the hacks
these are very helpful!! never thought of the panty liners one
Iâm so thankful to know about your channel!
You have helped me so mulch keep doing what your doing!
ooh great tips! tights are honestly a lifesaver for helping socks and thigh highs to stay up!!
I hope you had a great New Year and Christmas!
Thank you, same to you! ^^
I'm from one year in the future- dont let your guard down when the furries invade, KEEP THEM IN TIKTOK AT *ALL. COSTS.*
We already let them win once, WE CANNOT DO IT AGAIN. We are starting war again. Dont let it get to that.
Cactuss gaming and more lmao soooo true
Coming from a competitive figure skater, figure skating tights can save your life! I have several pairs of course, and my practice tights have some runs and tears in them but that's only because I catch my tights with my skating blade sometimes, but I just sew them right back up! Tights can help in like you're wearing a leotard like cosplay and the crotch area is uncomfortable. Also, they cover up bruises/ scars and you don't have to shave! And I can promise that they are very warm!
these hacks were awesome! and thank for not saying that only women have periods because I know a lot of people who don't identify as female and they get their period. so thank you. Also I love your videos
When you were talking about buying tights it kind of blew my mind, cause as a dancer I always have tights around, so it didnât even phase me that some people might not have tights.
But wow, all these hacks are great! Iâm definitely gonna be using the pantyliner one all the time now!
Tights also help keep my thighs from chaffing tbh
Yes I totally understand the Canadian cosplay trouble I can totally relate
thank you so much! iâm doing a cosplay that shows a lot of leg in december so i was worried about both being cold and my bare legs so the skating tights tip really helps a lot!!!
I never thought about skating tights to keep warm with shorts/short skirts, and that's genius!! i'm defiantly going to buy a pair, thank you so much for sharing!
These are so helpful! Thank you!!
I never thought about the panty liner thing. That might be useful for my Shego cosplay if I wear it in the summer. Great video!
YOU'RE COSPLAYING SHEGO OMG THAT'S SO AWESOME!!
Skating tights saved me so much! I did Sailor Neptune and the skirt is a lot shorter than I am used and confident with. So thank you! đđŒ
Can't believe I never thought of sewing socks or thigh highs to tights before!!! Such a great idea!!!
Aw man, these are really useful! Especially if you are cosplaying a character with a different skin color, like gems in SU or Trolls in homestuck, and you'te wearing shorts or skirts! Since my con is in the winter, I kinda have to think of wearing weather appropriate cosplay, but luckily, I cosplay a lot of characters that wear sweaters and jackets and one that even wears both a sweater and a jacket. For one of my cosplays, i'm wearing a sweater, with shorts and underneath the shorts, i'm going to wear black leggings. So along with making my legs look nicer and not having to shave, i can stay warm :D.....my only issue is not over heating while in the con building, bc I have always overheated REAL easily ;u;
OH, also if you are wearing a headband on top of a wig, that slides, use hairclips, like those barrett...thingies, they keep the headhands up surprisingly well! I had to figure that out doing troll cosplays, and wearing horns attatched to headbands atop wigs. Also, if you're wearing a lot of makeup, or putting makeup on a prosthetic, put on baby or body powder on after you're done applying, it keeps it from coming off and smudging pretty well...especially if you're wearing makeup on your arms or hands
Doot Noot, love your name!
Also, panty liners can be used to go down in the crotch area for swimsuit-type cosplay to prevent a camel toe from forming! Just a really normal use for them, and they can also help with hygiene down there ^-^
Tanya Cotencova beauty queens use duct tape lol
Ariel Norman oh gosh, that sounds like it'd hurt when you take it off >
i think they put it over their underwear so itâs not directly on their skin. But some do put it on the skin. But most of those girls are waxed so there isnât hair there. They do it for the bikini section since those bottoms come up pretty high your donât want to have camel toe!
Tanya Cotencova czcams.com/video/MhvqFr1gTAc/video.html at 430 is they start talking about duct tape for camel toe lol
omg helpful advise and i never know i would hear the pantyliner advise again hehe, it was first said to me by a friend during my time in theater shows. i dont really sweat that much in my pits so i never really tried but still this video is so helpful. thank you so much â€
This is the first video I found by you. I'm going to go look through your library for more, I'm not new to the con scene but I'm new to the cosplayer scene. I wanted to do it forever and this year I think I'm finally going to get my toes into the cosplay pool.
Yes! Wearing tights because I don't shave a lot.
I'm a cosplayer in Phoenix where our biggest con is in June (don't ask me why) -- probably will buy the thinnest tights because it's too damn hot!
SubCulture Recall "where our biggest con is in June" ikr like, why tho XDXD
Also a Phoenix-area cosplayer; I have always wondered why in the world they thought a con during 110°F-118°F weather was a good idea ^_^; Especially after limiting outside entrance points since that whole ordeal last year, my goodness. I know safety is a concern, but waiting in line outside in temperatures that extreme isn't safe either. Perhaps it is unfair of me to feel this way, I know no one is obligated to attend if they don't want to, but I really hope they find a better security solution this year because waiting in the heat like that is so so so unsafe. Especially for children, the elderly, service animals, and those with certain chronic illnesses. Not to mention cosplayers amirite đ
You pulled out the panty liners and I just started nodding and knew it was for armpits.
The wig clips sound like a godsend; I'll try these! Thanks for the great vid!
The pads one was so amazing and I never really thought about that, specially with tighter or armor cosplays it would be great :3
It made me so happy how gender inclusive you were when talking about periods, as a trans cosplayer it was very lovely so thanks!!
tHAT INTRO THO OMG
cel ă ;)
The second tip is really amazing with my cosplays because all mine wear skirts for now! Thanks for that!đ
Its been a while and I needed this and I finally found it
Thank you for the tips!!!! I always love stuff like this.

Thank you! It's really help!
I'm cosplaying this summer and your channel is really helping me prepared
This is super useful! I would never have thought about using pantyliners like that and I deffo have to get some skating tights now! Thanks :)
These are some great tips! thanks!
Leg hair *raises hand* Amen sista
OH MY GOD THE PANTYLINER TIP!!! I cannot believe this never crossed my mind!!! Iâve seen heaps of other hacks that involve pinning wads of other absorbent things to your cosplay but never liked them the idea of poking holes in my cosplay or if one of them came loose. But this is BRILLIANT! Thank you so much!
Wow this video is so perfect!! Iâm a new cosplayer and Iâve been struggling with finding where to start, and this helped me so much!! Youâre so funny too thank you so much, Iâm subbing for sure! You have no idea how much this helped me đđ€
TY! So helpful!
