Having a fursuit might seem like a dream for so many of you fluffbutts out there... and yes they are absolutely amazing to have. But so many people don't know about the little things that suck about having a fursuit. Like the space they take up and the amount of care they need.
So I've teamed up with Skye from Skyehigh Studios to talk about some of the things that really suck about having a fursuit. Hope you enjoy and learn something that might prepare you for the responsibilities of fursuit ownership.

I'm pretty sure a lot of fursuiters out there can relate to this a lot. Also, the furries that want a fursuit don't need a fursuit to be a furry. That's not the main thing to be a furry. I don't have a fursuit and I don't need one to to be a furry. For me to become a furry, I'd say to start out with a fursona. ;) 👌❤
Haley The Artistic furry Folf. Yes, that's very true.
Haley!! My 2nd favorite furry RUclipsr! 0w0 ❤
Thats very true. Fursuits are a luxury in the fandom and not a necessity to be a furry. We try to explain that in the video and just trying to give some information to those who do want to get a fursuit someday. They are a lot of work and rather expensive. But yes, you don't need one to be a furry. Just love the fandom and the culture, smile and be happy
Yes, that is true. We don't need a fursuit to be a furry. We just need to love the fandom and etc. ;) Also omg I can't believe you're here!!!
Yea but I want one
The cleaning, the brushing, the heatstroke......
That smile on the little kids face over the giant talking animal worth it.
facts
Well said
Those bratty kids who try to rip off your tail and grab onto your fur...
*Worth it*
The thing that makes it all worth it is all the happiness you spread around
Fursuits: the $2000 pet that won't crap on your rug
Haha
Yeah my $1500 rottie won’t stop!
Jesus christ my cats keep popping on the rug and I keep having to buy a new one
I know a bird that cost like that
Ripoff! My £60 gecko never poops on my rug.
While it is indeed a dream to aquire your own suit, they are a MAJOR responsibility. You've covered the basic downsides really well, Fauxy!
Some things that not everyone is aware of~
Trying to get fur out of the mouth...with a furry paw. XD
Edit: With a paw full of fur
Dat Furry Guy. Literally the bane of my existence.
XD
I have never worn one but I know that they are hot, heavy, sometimes uncomfortable and tight, and limit how much you can see. I am still gonna get one though lol💕
Its worth it when you can :)
DanSanus same
Sameee
Yeah they can also come in handy on cold days :3

Number 7 is one of the reasons I believe it’s incredibly important to see a suiter out of suit right before they get into suit.
Seeing them for the first time while they’re in suit will immediately make the first impression be the fursona’s personality. Seeing them and talking to them for hours before they get into their fursuit will ruin the whole idea behind a second persona because then it’s highly likely you’ll only see the person inside the suit and not the character the suit is bringing to life.
Everyone is, of course, different, but this has been what I have noticed, and is why I now, whenever I find a new Furry RUclipsr, immediately search for a video of them out of suit before watching a video of them in suit.
Don’t ask how I got this down as precise as I worded it. It’s just basic psychology and my wacky perspective on time lol
You do also get some furries who like to keep their identity a secret. and that's fine too. It's a tough thing to balance but everyone has (or finds) their own way~ So make sure you have the respect for the suiters who dont want to face reveal as well.
@Faux Films Yeah, that’s another factor. If that’s the case, I have to keep reminding myself that the person in suit may be different than the person out of suit
Faux Films Your profile pic is so fitting with your reply to Syzygy.
I don't want to be a popufur, I just wanna see people smile. I do have some experience with fursuiting but it was with a Halloween mask that I plan on making in to one of my sonas. It is so hot in that mask but I love it because it brought me closer to feeling what it is like in suit. So me making the mask to my sona, it just makes it worth so much more.
That's awesome :)
Same
I can't wait to die of heat when Rig arrives =w=💜😂
Rigala me either
:C
I love the heat- ILL LOVE IT
3:34 Faux that looks like Skye's fur? why was it in your head?..... wait im not sure i want to know
Haha XD it was actually a different colour but my colour LUT adjusted it to that >.
Oh XD
Haha! XD
Don't go there Lmao
Omg the thumbnail is so CUTE♥️🦊
Zeko 89777 IT IS. Faux Washing Machine should be his new icon.
one thing that was awesome for me when I borrowed one of my friends Fursuit was this wetsuit dryer, it’s basically a hanger with a fan built into it, it’s not cheap but it cuts the time of drying it down to a few hours rather than a couple days.
They are really good at conventions!!
Faux Films yeah my friend let me borrow that Fursuit for VancouFur, it was a lifesaver for me, after a day of Fursuiting I’d bring it up and spray it down with my Fursuit Spray and hang it up to dry and by the time I went to bed the suit was completely dry.
What I’ve learned, there’s always a thousand downsides to everything. However, follow your heart and your passion. In my eyes, getting my identity fursuit would 100% be worth the hours of heat and pain of cleaning, etc.
When ever u upload its like Christmas for me u allways make me happy
Glad to make you smile :)
Very true! I have two fursuits, I have an tiger one and a wolf one. My tiger, Bongo, is pretty hard to move in since his parts are so big.
I am new to fursuiting but I can completely agree with most of this... definitely, the heat and then the urge to buy more.. before I just wanted my one fur child and now I'm constantly restraining myself from getting more.. why?!?!?!!
I’m willing to go through these things. I just gotta manage to actually make mine. Hopefully, my custom making class this semester will help me develop quality fursuit making skills
Ok so I’m a fursuit maker and I own a Dutch angel dragon mini partial (with a huge tail), another Dutch angel dragon head (for my friend), a bat/dragon, a sabertooth head, and my main sona has a digigrade halfsuit. Yea, I have a lot. So whenever my non furry friends or my sister’s friends come in my room they’re always weirded out about how many animal heads are in my room lol. Not to mention, Winter is almost all white so he requires A LOT of cleaning
When u have a mascot costume and can barley see through the mouth
I can just imagine the Oder after an hour in hot weather.
Maintenance can be a chore
also the cost.
I’m using a spirit Halloween bunny mask and I love it, of course it gets kinda sweaty but I love it and I can’t wait to add the rest of the head and to change the ears and some patterns!
I am making my first fur suit right now and am looking at tutorials and the first tutorial I went for was sky’s cus I new that she had a good tutorial on how to make one!
Pretty soon I am going to get a partial I am sooooo excited
Shadow Charizard good for you 💗😋🥳
My problem as a fursuiter - still being so smol. ;_;
I feel that. I'm a grown ass adult, but I'm not even 5ft in height. When I'm in suit most people assume that I'm a very young person, until I bitch at them. My sona is a chihuahua because of this. Unfortunately some of us are just short. Though I wish I was taller.
im short, and my shortness matches with my age. :[ im probably still gonna make a fursuit head anyway
why is being a small suiter a problem? I have no problem. Im 5'1 and 110lbs and im 21.
I’m small, but you wouldn’t look at me and say “they must be a child”. 18 year olds TOWER over me, and yet I’m as tall as full grown adults. I’m a dachshund :D
@@lesbianchihuahua1624 More height equals more material costs and tall ears bump the tops of doorways.
Glad you'll be making it to MFF this year, I saw you at MFF 2016 but didn't get a chance to say hello
The rare video that comes out once every two months.. *throws pokeball*
Did you catch it XD
I came here simply because Faux in the thumbnail is just too cute.
you guys are my favorite Furry youtubers
Making people gasp when you walk bye and seeing the smile on the little kids faces make it all worth it ❤
I mean, it's not actually awful with heat for me, I'm literally in suit right now (without the head though) I'm having fun but yeah, but the fur man THE FUR it's awful!
*coughs up furball*
Exactly, i was doing that the whole time I was at Vancoufur, 3 hours of fur in my mouth and eyes ~yay! TmT
furry productions I applaud and envy your ability to tolerate heat
i just got new partal but man even just partial is hard upkeep and it sooo hot in headd becase my head is very snug but so worth it
Love ya’ll so much. To see both my favorite you-tubers make one video is amazing. You guys are what help give me hope for the fandom where I am. I wish I could see you guys. And furries from Texas say hi!!!!! 😋
Hello Texas! ^^
AngryAbiz 022 Hi Texas! ^.^
Faux Films hello Australia
a thing to avoid refuring in my opinion is trying to find a design that you like and aiming to buy from a fursuit maker you like (my 2 favorites are more fur less and you sky), another thing to avoid the heat is getting a partial and/or full partial. I know fursuiters who wear their full partials during fall and winter and their normal partials in spring and summer
I’m currently creating my first fursuit, and I’m not doing it for popularity, or for anyone. It’s purely because im in the fandom, and I need a project.
I want to be able to have fun with my friends in it, and just enjoy the experience of creating one.
when you think about it. Even if your fursuit turns out absolutely TERRIBLE, it’s still a big achievement. Like, look at what you just did!
you made a FURSUIT! That’s hecking amazing! Just thought I’d say this to anyone who’s discouraged about their fur suit :)
Wow I didn't even think of all this, glad there is a video about this information. Thank you both!! I can't get one because I can't afford it. Walmart won't let anyone in the store with any mask on, and if they see you as you are walking in they will tell you to take off the mask and hoodie. (If you have one on). I'm so glad I don't have to have a fursuit to be in this amazing fandom, I do have alot of fursonas though XD
awww, I'd want to hug you guys if i were in Australia and saw you guys even if you werent in suit! you are just awesome people and i love that!
So I was at the store and I swear I saw Skye out of suit, I was almost about to ask. Then I remembered that I live in Michigan.... Sad times Dad times
You spooped me real big there fren :P Nahh I'm aussie :P Unless I have a doppleganger
Haha. Lol.
Must suck to not be able to buy a tesla
Edit: not everyone knows but you cant buy one in Michigan because they "hurt dealerships"
Uber Virsacii lol ok
@@luciayay2 no seriously you cant even go out of state then buy it they are banned all out
I'm prepared for the hair-in-my-mouth thing! Working at a vet's office during COVID will do that to you, my nostrils and mouth will never be free of cat hair...
love you for your personality and skills
Unsupervised children are a problem all the time!
I love your fursuit!
Great video Faux! I particularly liked the part where you discussed the fursuit = popularity issue.
Thanks. Touchy area coz people may take it the wrong way. But its true :).
Being a furry is like having a set of D&D dice, there is never just one.
Ah the joys of white fabrics...
I didn't realise you were Pocari mate, with all the brushing talk haha.
Like what they said, if you want a fursuit, it's like wanting a pet. You don't need a suit to be apart of the fandom, if you consider yourself a furry already, then you are a furry. If you are young and still growing, wait till you are done growing before grabbing a fursuit because it sucks outgrowing a fursuit that you spent so much money on.
Jarvell Rippley I made mine and the fur was on sale for 7 dollars a yard
Bunny luveer It's awesome that you made your fursuit and all, but it's mostly your decsicion to make them however old you may be. Just make sure you know that you are getting the right supplies. Keep up the good work on making them.
JARVELL WHATCHU DOIN HERE BOI I FOUND YA AGAIN
I'm making g my own partial "fursuit" (using one of those e Halloween masks that's fairly decent,tye dye colors, and othrr stuff for the tail)
Hi Faux! I'm fairly new to your channel and I just want to say that I myself an a furry (actually a youngfur) and I have been hugely inspired by you and that I look forward to watching your work!
Welcome to the fluffbutts. Hole you enjoy the fandom :)
I hadn't expected you to reply! Thank you.
I live in a very cold region, and cleaning/brushing isn't too much of a problem for me.
i love brushing fur, im used to fur in my mouth of my 3 cats, im always cold and love heat (think uncomfortable hot is cold for me) and im willing to do all the steps. i cant wait to get a fursuit when i have gotten alot of money! im prepared :D
I would honestly love to have a fursuit, a mini is the one Im hoping for. Though, to be honest, I’m not sure what fursona I would like rip.
They also cost a lot of money.
I also have no idea how to use a washing machine-
I would probably be the worst fursuit owner ever xD
Who ever you commission, always ask the best way to care for and maintain the suit. They can give you tips on how to wash safely etc
Faux Films Yeah, I was thinking of doing that.
I’m still stuck on making a fursona so that’s the main thing-
@@llangdxn oml you profile pic is gold
Uber Virsacii aha thank you lol
saaaaame
It’s crazy how different people are when they’re older, back in high school I told my closest friend that I was a furry and he told everyone and people tried to bully me for it, thankfully I’m not the type of person to really care what people say and because I try to be nice to people or at least remain neutral I had friends that stuck up for me and it wasn’t long before no one cared to mess with me. Later In college I ran into that guy and he apologized for what he did and confessed that he was a furry too but was afraid of what people would think. It’s cool how much nicer college had been though and I’ve met a lot more furries in my art/design classes and it’s always nice to meet more happy people and make friends. Part of the reason why I love being a furry is because despite the drama (which is in anything) most of us are fun and friendly and there is so much creativity and the fandom is so cool and you don’t need a fur suit to be a furry and most people don’t have or want one the fandom is about having fun and being free not needing an item to be apart of it so cheers to the best fandom ever 😸
It's sad how so many kids growing up think teasing is a way to protect themselves from judgment. It only ends up damaging everyone. Glad to hear you stuck it out and you've had better experiences since
I love sky’s channel
2:37
What if I go ol' fashion and wash it buy hand the hang it up on a clothes line?
How tf do you scratch your back with a fursuit on pls teach
What about space bags to vacuum pack the suit?
My character is mostly peach pink and black. My tumble dryer has an air dry function and my washer has a delicate setting.
My character has five fingers.
And I wanted a suit since 2012.
Can use vacuum bags. But it's not recommended you store suits in there for a long period of time.
Tip on the suit plane thing..
Shove the suit in a pillow case
I can relate to all of this. And as for fursuits not being welcome everywhere, it's actually illegal in some places in the states!
FAUX:where did all that furr come from
Me:from sky's hair
This is exactly why I don’t think I will ever want a full suit. They get so SO hot and are a lot harder to care for than a partial or mini partial. Partials still require maintenance, but not the same amount. My mini partial recently arrived and I am so excited to start my fursuiting journey. ❤
Edit: Please don’t be discouraged by this! This is just my personal opinion. I personally just don’t think I would enjoy fullsuiting as much as partial suiting.
I got a hyperactive husky. sooooo i think i can handle that
Im a bit late but fursuiting where people don’t know you but for your suit can sometimes be an escape. Alot of suiters and makers use fursuits as their escape for whatever is going on in their life.
Fully expected a quick cut to Pocari “BRUSH!!!”
what if you hang it brush both sides will on hanger dry inside out dry brush
Omg! I had no idea you guys were in Brisbane! I will have a higher chance of meeting you guys
The fur I use sheds like crazy and it will get on my clothes, hands, in my mouth and in my nose and when I brush then it gets Into my brushes. THE FUR SITUATION IS CRAZY
😣Bonus: for my species, it would be having giant two-foot-long ears vs door frame tops...😣
These were all very good points! The problem for me is storage. And yes, I am addicted and eventually want to get a 2.0 lol!
OMG we forgot storage!!!
Ahhh mate that's a big one! XD
I know right >.
Yeah XD it is alright though! It is hard to cover everything!
I love getting out of suit i love the contrast from getting the attention and then just going back to being normal.
Being a fursuit maker is great, make your owns suits, you get money, you don’t have to pay a lot for it ect ect, but there’s fur EVERYWHERE. I don’t have an office so I make them in my room and there was fur all over my clothes(it took multiple washes) all over my bed, my shoes, anything fabric. Fur in your mouth is bad, but in your eyes it’s worse 💀
How many others ship skye with faux (when they are recording together)
I’m watching this while making my first fursuit 😂
I don't know if my dragon costume counts as a fursuit but it does have all the same problems as a fursuit except the fur all the scales r made out of craft foam & sewn on & it's not washable but I'm dam proud of if
Why was the ball of fire bright blue..?I need answers
I want a Fursuit, do I need one? everyone tells me "no", but I want one! what could be a better feeling in your heart than floof and bounce around in your character? your very own creation? so much story put into it, so many artworks you drew or even bought, countless hours you spent online fantasizing about it with your Furry Friendos, all that, turned into a reality, so even with every bad side,, even if I don't really need it, this is a joy in my heart I want!
~fursuit in toilet~
*Aw man, don't ya just hate when that happens?*
I just want a head and maybe some sleevies I have 5 finger paws lol I can do way more than most suiters and I don’t have sleeve paws so it’s easy to put them on
Wut happens if I don't clean it?
Can you make a video what is good having a full fursuit and whats good and bad about a only head,tail,paws and etc suit ?
There are so many good things. Even about a partial. There's good and bad to everything
i cant even put my fursuit in the washing machine because it has plastic parts wires going throughout the jaw and if i get the plastic wet it gets all weird and slimy
I know it sucks to have a fursuit but I still want one :/
Having a fursuit is like a rug, my fursuit has not pooped on my rug pHEW
Im getting a full partial without the leg sleeves, for $250-260 from my friend whk makesmthem. Im also getting a potato plush because Tracmer loves potatoes
thats why i want a partial suit
If you think having pne fursuit is a pain in the butt try having 50+ fursuits!
I had to convert an entire bedroom into a fursuit closet and it is PACKED!!! There is little in the way of space for me to even get into the room let alone to get a specific fursuit out with out moving a lot of stuff out of the way first
Ahhh! I hope to get to go to MFF! I will definitely look for u! I will be my second fursona, a green blue and black angel dragon with a guitar ^_^
Being popular in suit and not out can be fun. Like, a secret identity. No one knows who is in that suit, but you and maybe a small handful.
This was a great video and I want to talk about something that happens to everyone really so when someone tells there friend there a furry it could go wrong or right sometimes they can give you hate like calling you gay lesbian and others stuff I have had this to happen to me I told 2 of my friend Friend number 1 called me gay and told others people and it really hurt me but Friend number 2 was really nice and was a furry too and it made me feel like I was not alone even if this happened to you don’t think you need to not be a furry just be yourself sometimes being a furry lets you be you never let someone tell you your gay don’t let them make you down just pass through the hurtful comments they make or just stop being there friend all you got to do is follow your furry pride and if you read all of this thank you and have a great day
Keep on keeping on :)
Faux Films I will :D

If someone called me gay I wouldn't care, because I am-

3 Good Things About Fursuits
#1 Good Halloween Costume
#2 Embrace Urself
#3 Three Years Of Good Luck
QUESTION : at which sites do you buy your suites ? Pls answer
I don’t wanna popular. I just want a suit for the fun and to hide my insecurities in a giant, fluffy alter ego
It can help with that yes. But make sure you get some help if ever you need to :)
so having a fursuit is like having to carry college books. did it for 2 years on my back. THIS WONT BE ANYTHING
I’m making my first suit and omg the fur 😂 my cream carpet is slowly turning black
After my black pup I will definitely make more 😂😂😂
Fursuits take a lot of maintenance, not a lot of people know that.
1 i love your name 2 i agree i have completely white suit and people always assume that it magically cleans itself
cyanide smiles Aw thanks. :3 And omg I totally understand! I actually have feetpaws & fingers that are white on my suit and they get dirty more than anything else on my suit. 😅
QUESTION : do you kjow a site wjit cheap fursuites ?
I want one, and not once have I considered that I'll have to clean it.
Do you guys have a tutorial on how to machine wash fursuits?
Every suit is different. what's good for one may not be good for the other. My recommendation is to ask the fursuit maker for the best way to care for the suits they have made.
We all love you
💙
Yay all the lovely things to look forward to (I know I don’t need one it’s just I want one cuz I love making people smile 😊and entertaining people) also where did all that fur from the fur hairball the blue was to light to be your fur lol great vid faux
Hey how much is a fur suit from someone who would sell one at average?
5:50 That's kind of sad in a way.
I think if you guys act the same way as you are wearing your suits I'd still think your awesome! Your personalities are so cute and amazing. 😁❤
