Ok so, I've got a couple of questions regarding fursuits...
#1 where/how do you get a fursuit? It might be a dumb question, but I've really been looking into one recently because I made my fursona <3 I just have no idea how to go about getting one made...
#2 does anyone wear a diaper under their fursuit? This mostly applies at cons, but I figure it would be alot easier to use the restroom like that, as opposed to fully taking off your suit.. idk, just wondering lol
I wanted to respond to this post directly. Most of #1 is covered in my previous post.
You can also always slowly start to buy fursuit pieces. The biggest cost will be the head, followed by the body suit. I think the least expensive head that I've seen was around $500, and most are over $1K.
If you wanted, you could start buying a few pieces. Getting the paws, tail, etc. and slowly building up to the head and body suit.
It should be noted that the majority of furries do NOT have a fursuit. Because they are extremely expensive and are not comfortable to wear.
The suits are very hot. The inside of the head will get close to 130° within about a minute of putting the suit on. It's not always easy to move around or see in suit. Having Digigrade legs can make it a bit hard to bend down or sit on the ground.
People can easily get dehydrated, heat exhaustion, or heat stroke while in suit.
There are some people that wear while in suit, but that's a minority of babyfur suiters. You will be sweating so much, that you won't really need the diaper, if you pee'd before putting the suit on. You'll be drinking a bunch of water, but you'll be sweating it out.
By the time that you do need to go to the bathroom, you're probably going to want to take the suit off. Most people starting off need frequent breaks, and will need to wear for only an hour or two, before taking the suit off to shower and cool off.
I'm more used to wearing that stuff than others, since wearing firefighter gear is actually more heavy / hot / burdensome than a fursuit, and I still prefer to only wear for a couple hours at a time, and only a few times a day.
