Affordable Silicone Mermaid Tails!?! Unboxing 2 NEW silicone tails from Mermaid Travel Tails
Вставка
- Опубліковано 21 вер 2023
- Want a silicone mermaid tail but don't want to pay thousands of dollars? Wondering where to get a cheap silicone mermaid tail? These silicone mermaid tails are more affordable than most silicone mermaid tails and are lightweight and easy to travel with too. Simply select a good quality monofin that you like (and that fits into the tail properly) and insert it into the open end of the silicone mermaid tail when you're ready to go for a swim! When you're not using your Mermaid Travel Tail, simply roll it up and store it away (after cleaning and thoroughly drying it, of course!).
This style of Mermaid Travel Tails is called the "Water Fairy" style. This tail style is available in custom colors (we can't do anything too crazy) and you can also purchase the designs that my sister and I made (Oracle is the dark tail, and Daydream is the lighter tail). Each tail is custom fit to your body (but does not require a duct tape dummy). Please visit our website for additional measuring information and product information.

Okay. So this is the big secret that I've been hiding since before the start of summer. I have spent the entire summer product testing these new tails and I LOVE them. The camera does NOT show how sparkly and amazing they truly are. They glisten. Absolutely SHINE. I hope you guys like them as much as I do. While they aren't as detailed as traditional silicone mermaid tails, they are a very awesome "in between" tail for someone who wants the realism of raised scales and a shiny appearance but also wants something that is easy to transport.
Please let me know your thoughts on these in the comments. If you could get one, what color would it be?
More designs will be coming soon. :)
@braveeer4820 is the factory that produces these awesome tails. :3

✨ When you order a tail from Braveeer.com *please let them know that The Magic Crafter sent you!* This helps me out so *SO* much! I have changed the way that I work with Braveeer and will only be selling tails occasionally now. But when you buy a tail from Braveeer and let them know that I sent you, it helps me earn some money (at no extra cost to you) so that I can hopefully do this mermaid thing full-time someday. 🤗
You can email me at Shadow@MermaidTravelTails.com if you have questions about the tails, would like help ordering a tail or if you would like help creating an illustration of your dream-tail. I can also send you a free "mermaid tail care sheet" and a "is this the right mermaid tail for me?" guide.
The fins style is what I really dig... I call them umbrella edge style shapes/cut...it's very reminiscent of ancient Greek Mythological style 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
*Which one do you like better?* You can get one of these tails at www.MermaidTravelTails.com More tails coming soon. :)
❤😊
I want a mermaid tell
You are not only a great mermaid but also a stunning human. :)
Oh my goodness! Thank you so, so much, Dana! Right back at you! Your comments are always so heartwarming. I really appreciate you!
These look cool! I'm so happy that you're expanding your business. I'm so excited for you. Maybe once I get my financials under control I can support this venture. Until then, I wish you all the luck.
Definitely fooled me I was sure the darker tail was yours. But I love the one you picked more. You got so many dark devil may cry tails and I love the mergoth aesthetic, idk just good to change things up once in awhile
Hehehe! Sorry about that! 🤭🖤 You're right! Honestly, it was really hard for me NOT to go with a darker tail. However, my sister picked out a theme for our tails that I just couldn't refuse. So here I am in white and green 😂🖤
@@TheMagicCrafter it’s gorgeous though and that’s so sweet you and your sister have sister tails
Omg words cannot describe how hyped I am for this!
Oh yaaaay! I'm so glad you're excited about it too 🥰💕
I want one but I am very young and I mean young like 8 years old but it’s my birthday in April! 🥳 🎉🎂
I wonder how durable the lighter silicon will be. They also look a bit like fabric tails under water (I like fabric tails). Personally my favorite is the light one, colors look nice together
Fabulous Tails Phantom!! You are a master at unboxing. Keep up the awesome work and as always swim strong swim proud. 🧜🏻♀️❤️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ - Jordan
Ooh I just got some of their tails! I'm so glad you I can see what they are like! Can't wait for your review.
I like the ivory with the light blue, very pretty.
Thank you! The colors were inspired by Sima Zhao's outfit colors from Dynasty Warriors 7. My sister likes Sima Shi and his colors (she has always been a blue and black girl), so even though I'm more of a Sima Yi fan, she begged me to do a "sibling" tail so I could be the Sima Zhao to her Sima Shi. We play too many video games. 😂🤭🖤
The food grade is what gets me. Remember the fairytails Bangkok incident with food grade silicone? The huge open bottom flukes seem like a major safety hazard as well. And I feel like if you sit on that fin accidentally it’s going to rip right off
I've heard that those tails were not good, but not about what they are made of. This material is very durable from what I've experienced. The manufacturer has been selling these in Asia since 2021 and they have been very popular. I myself have used the two tails a *lot* throughout the summer and have intentionally roughed them up (zebra mussel exposure, "rock climbing " and dry land event on cement). They've held up beautifully! While I cannot speak much on their long-term durability other than what the factory manager has told me about, I can say that I am very impressed so far.
As far as the fluke being a safety hazard, I'm not sure I understand why. It shuts underwater, as seen in the video. It is only a problem visually from certain angles.
I just finished filming a video talking about the pros and the cons of the tails. You're welcome to check it out when it is posted.
In truth, I know that people will be hesitant to try these and suspicious of them. Therefore, I am working very hard to expose all of their positive aspects along with their negative qualities to ensure that people can make informed decisions about whether they would like to get one or not. At the end of the day, the decision is each individual person's to make - I can only share my experiences and knowledge of the tails.
@@TheMagicCrafter the giant open fluke allows for the user to put whatever monofin they want inside or none at all. If someone who doesn’t have knowledge of monofins puts in say a Finfun it won’t have enough power and the extra silicone will create drag causing a dangerous situation. People could also attempt to make their own homemade monofins that fit inside which is very dangerous.
I’ve found through teaching tail safety that people often don’t read descriptions or consider risks. So I try to look at things from every angle to be able to spot anything that could be a hazard.
@HaleyTheMermaid It is good to be cautious for sure! However, many fabric tails also allow users to insert their own monofins, so it is a risk with many tails. When it comes down to it, users must be responsible for their own safety and all we as tail sellers can do is our best to guide and educate them. It is like the "swim at your own risk" signs we have in Michigan and the swimming warnings posted during dangerous conditions - people are made aware not to swim or go near the shore on certain days, but the choice is ultimately theirs to make. Unfortunately, some people make very bad choices even when knowing the consequences. But luckily, the large majority follows the guidelines and can enjoy the water safely. We can only hope everyone involved in our community with all tails will be in this large majority. 🖤
@@TheMagicCrafter Hi I know I'm really late to this discussion, but I think what she means about the open fluke thing is that a silicone tail, even a travel-tail, is much heavier than a fabric tail, which means that there's a bigger safety risk if the monofin used isn't powerful enough to let the person swim properly. It's also harder to remove than a fabric tail - you can sort of kick or pull off a fabric tail but silicone is sort of 'sticky,' so it's harder for someone to get their legs unbound if they find themselves in this situation. These issues are especially important to consider since the target audience for these tails is, presumably, younger or newer mermaids who aren't dedicated enough to devote a large expense to a silicone tail, or who may just be trying out a silicone tail for the first time. They're more likely to make these mistakes. I know all mermaid tails have inherent safety risks, and safety instructions are included with these, but it's still important to consider the increased risks of a particular design that hasn't been widely used yet.
Furthermore, I'm no expert, but I was always under the impression that food-grade silicone is generally not used for tails and accessories because it can irritate the skin when in tight-fitting/direct contact for long periods of time. I've only ever seen it used on tails that are lined with something like neoprene.
Again, I'm not an expert, and I know this is an old discussion that may have been resolved already. And I don't mean to come off as rude. But in the interest of sharing all potential concerns and viewpoints, I figured it couldn't hurt to comment. All that being said, the tails themselves are beautiful! I do hope this venture works out well, I know it would make a lot of mermaids very happy. I've been watching your stuff for a while and your mergoth aesthetic has had more than a little influence on my own. :) Creating your own mermaid business is an impressive feat.
14 yr old me would be screaming right now! This will be such a lovely opportunity for people on a lower budget that want the texture experience of a silicone tail without the heavy price tag. Question about designs, is this fluke shape the only one that is currently being offered? Will there be options for customization? So excited for your future adventures!
There are basic silicone tails made from dragonskin silicone that start at $500 and only weight 10 ish pounds
SCREAMMMING ❤ I'm so excited to get one!
Yaaaay! Feel free to shoot me an email if you have any questions :D
Both are beautiful!!!
Wow, the first one is cool!!!!
Thank you for mentioning that the glitter does fall off in the first few times of use… so it may both be great to use it brand new in the sea etc. I have swam in a pool where these tails have been and seen e glitter at the bottom of the pool floor.
I love these so much!
Thank youuu 🥰🖤
Great video!!!
❤🖤💜🖤💙🖤🤍🖤🤍
Although you usually have darker tails, I’m going to go out on a limb and say the white one! 😀 Both look amazing though!
I got it, right! 😃
Also the sound of the tails kinda reminds me of pool liner mixed with water
This is awsome I want to get a mono fin practice with those in the pool. Then get a fabric tail start swimming again. I would love a silicone. This maybe an easy way I can carry one, etc. I would also like the idea get together or something pd members. 😃 oh yeah you fooled me I thought you got the black one.
Lololo its preatty obvious. Your kina goth so il vote yours is the black one.
Update:............well imvvhhvfffgggg. Lolol i stand corected.
I cant belive how preatty this tails are. Amon the pritiest ive ever seen!! And low budget? Wow. Perfect for newcomers. Thats amazing. Wish you sucess on the colaboration. Breathtaking as usual. Best sister eva!❤😊
Aaahhhh!!! Sorry for the trickery! It is really new to me too! 😂😝
Thank you so, so much! I'm really excited to see more people trying these- they are soooo darn pretty. A whole pod of mermaids with these tails would be like a wave of sparkly treasure in the water. 😇✨
My mom might get me one for Christmas but it’s fin fun
Does your sister have a channel ? I need to add more mermaiding channels to my subscriptions 😂❤️
I bet the blue white and gold tail is ur sisters, because u typically go for goth themes tbh 😅
I was wrong😅
@mermaidzoephiahart7476 No worries! It certainly is a new look for me. Takes me some getting used to too 😂😂
Wow yep I was completely wrong on whose tail is whose. Does the fantasea fin 3 fit in those tails? It’s basically the same size as the mahina but with little tips added. I wonder if the Fish Fin fits too-it usually does in anything that fits the mahina
Would the fish fin be too big for these tails?
I don't think I fully understand your question. Do you mean to ask if the fluke (fin at the end of the tail) is too big? Or do you mean to ask if a certain monofin would be too big to fit inside of the fluke?
I'll do my best to help answer your question 😊
The Fish Fin monofin will fit.
did anyone notice her face looks like christina ricci? :) shes beautiful
The magic Crafter -so beautiful 🌊🐟 💙 Siliconemarmet Tail Of🎥 Swimming the water is Mermaids very nice❤ 💋.
Thank you so much, Rafal! :D
@@TheMagicCrafterhi baby ❤
I’m going to guess the one with the black color in it is yours 😁 if im correct I’d be happy if not I’m still happy bc who doesn’t want a new tail
That was such a good guess! I'm glad you're happy either way- because that's important 😇🖤
Красивые костюмы для русалок!
Wow black is yours sister is white 😂 love it .
what monofin are you using in the swimming shots? Also, does the bottom just stay open, or is there a closure mechanism?
I'm using a Mahina 😊 The bottom seals shut underwater, although in the darker tail, a slight overlap can be seen from certain angles. The bottom stays shut pretty well when seated on land, but is not ideal for raising your fluke over your head (it opens) or laying on your side. I'll show some examples in another video. 😊
The dark one is yours.
Does the food grade silicone effect the stretch overtime can u post a video about this
That is a great question! While I have had mine for only a few months, the factory manager is in close contact with me and I have asked him *so* many questions. Their company has only been open since 2021, so I know the tails last at least 2 years (but presumably longer- since they are pretty darn durable)! He seems to think they will last for as long as they are cared. This type of silicone should be oiled with baby oil when it isn't going to be used for a month or longer to help keep the silicone in ship shape. If I do notice any issues with stretch or the silicone's integrity over the years, I will absolutely let you know. While this is a small sub-section of my own business, I'm going to be 100% honest with you guys about the products. Cuz honesty is always the best policy. :)
Great question! I hope I was able to answer it for you? I suppose the short answer is that we don't know for sure how long they can last, but we do know they last well for at least two years and possibly longer. :)
Please, please do a review 🙏
I am saving for one of these right now.
I just got done touching up my hair color so I can hopefully film one tomorrow. Weather permitting though... it has been sooo rainy and windy this week. 😅 But I'm working in it. I promise 🥰🖤
Anything in particular you're interested to know about the tails? ❤
8:36 the white one is your sister’s and the black one is yours.
My official guess is
Oooh I’m curious on we’re this will take ya! Do you plan doing tail commissions in the future?
Do you mean like hand drawn designs? 😊🖤
@@TheMagicCrafter yup! ^^
The first one, your sisters and the second one is yours
I think the black one is yours and the blue and gold one is your sisters?
Hehehe not quite, but good guess 🤭🖤
Will they be available uk?
8:36 the white one is your sister’s and the black one is yours.
My official guess
10:59 I’ve been deceived!!!
The white tail is your sisters and the black tail is yours i think.
Very good guess! But not quite 🤭🖤💕
I think the light one is your sisters and the dark one is yours
I really love these, but I'm not a fan of fins. I love a basic tail.
i think the second one is yours
Good guess, but not quite! ;D
The second one was yours
Blue and black one is yours
About how much did these cost?
This design is currently listed at $1,550 USD (includes shipping cost too). But any tail you see on Braveeer.com or any variation of one of the tails (different colors, scales, fins etc.) can be purchased through me.
