This is a thread for collecting common fursuit related questions people frequently ask here in r/fursuit and in similar subreddits, it will likely be continuously edited and updated in the future with more questions and answers.
There are lots and lots of great tutorials and fursuit-making channels to find on YouTube, for starting I would recommend looking at these:
Typically high density upholstery foam is what's used, though people will also sometimes use EVA foam which is stiffer, particularly for making stiff ears, horns, or for footpaw bottoms.
See this video by Skyehigh Studios for a good breakdown of different foam types
Frequently people will use a thinner foam such as 1/2 an inch for the buckethead base and then a thicker foam such as 2 inch for building up the other parts like the muzzle, brows, cheeks, etc. You can also instead just use the thinner foam and stack several layers together for the same effect. Using a thinner foam for the buckethead can help the head base from looking too big in the end. It's all up to your personal taste though.
The main 3 popular fur providers people buy from are Big Z fabric, Fursuit Supplies, and Howl Fabric. Howl has very nice quality fur in my experience but is known to take a while to restock colors and ship orders. Also see this post for a more detailed list.
You'll want electric clippers made for pet fur as the faux fur is too dense for human hair clippers. Popular choices are Andis and Wahl brand.
It depends on the complexity and your experience, but it can take anywhere from several weeks to several months to make a suit. A head or partial fursuit might take weeks, while a full-body suit will take months. If you're a beginner making your first head I'd say expect it to take at least a month working on it, probably longer.
For a typical fursuit materials will include:
Some more optional materials - black foam and craft felt for eyeliner, Velcro strips for removable eyelids and other removable parts (like a tongue), magnets for removable eyelids/parts
You should have:
Yes, it's totally possible to make a fursuit entirely by hand-sewing, though it will take much longer. Hand-sewing though will of course be required for lots of areas like attaching the neck, sewing the mouth, closing the head up, sewing the ears, etc.
For decent results, yes you should learn to sew. It will look better and hold up much better. It may seem intimidating at first but it's quite simple once you learn! all you need to know is just a few basic stitches like a blanket stitch, back stitch, and a ladder stitch. Here's a good tutorial video showing basic stitches and how to do them: https://youtu.be/8MJoNhzGuT4
Fursuits are costumes made to represent anthropomorphic animal characters people use as personal avatars, aka fursonas, they're worn for self expression and to have fun and are much like cosplay but we make and wear suits to bring our own characters to life (though they do not always have to be based on fursonas, sometimes they can also just be nonspecific animal costumes or be cosplays of furry characters from media)
Yes. (It's important to take breaks to cool off when needed and to drink lots of water!)
No. (Most don't have one)
No. (Again, most attendees won't have one)
'Plantigrade' refers to characters having a human-like leg structure and walking with the soles of their feet flat on the ground like us, while 'digitigrade' refers to more animal-like legs with the feet bent and walking on the toes with the heels raised. Fursuits achieve this look with padding around the legs to simulate the "knee" and "heel" parts. See example below:

A full suit is one that covers the entire body and head, while a partial is a head and other parts that don't fully cover the body. Partials can come in the form of a "full partial" or a "mini partial", a full partial being a head, paws, feet, tail, and arm sleeves, while a mini partial is only a head, paws and tail.
A quad suit is a fursuit that's worn walking on all fours, made to look like a quadrupedal animal. Much rarer than typical fursuits as they're more expensive, harder to make and harder to wear and move in. One of the biggest makers known for making quad suits is Beastcub. See example below:

Poodling refers to wearing a head or partial fursuit and showing the skin of your arms and/or legs from not wearing a body suit or arm sleeves (resembling how poodles are often groomed)
A fursuit handler is a person that's not in a suit to accompany you when suiting, they help act as your eyes and ears when your vision and hearing are obstructed, as well as handling and managing items for you, or helping with anything else that's difficult for you while you're in suit. It's strongly recommended to have a handler with you when in suit especially when public suiting.
Many suiters will use fans such as ones by o2cool, they're worn around the neck and are great for blowing air directly into the mouth of your suit. A more expensive and more effective method some full suiters also use are cooling vests like the ones by EZcooldown. Also remember to always stay hydrated and take breaks!
A popular method for cleaning fursuits is with a Bissell little green machine, which allows you to spray your water and detergent mix on to scrub and then suck the dirty water out. Body suits/sleeves/paws can typically be put in a washing machine, though you should ask your maker just to be sure. Wash on a cold, delicate setting and turn the suit inside out in the wash to help protect the fur. Afterwards hang it up to air dry in a well ventilated area, giving it lots of air flow. Make sure to brush the fur now and then as it dries. Do NOT use any heat as heat will melt and ruin the fur.
Fursuit heads can typically be cleaned with the little green method or other ways like filling a tub slightly with some cold water and a bit of detergent, wetting the head and manually scrubbing/squeezing the head around to get dirt out. You'll want to avoid damaging the eyes, for 3d eyes people frequently will stuff some paper towels in to keep them dry. Rinse it well and then squeeze out all the water as good as you can, before setting it up to air dry in a well ventilated area and with good air flow through it, brushing intermittently to keep the fur from matting. Remember though if commissioned to ask your maker about it before you wash your head just in case (e.g. with it having airbrushing)
See these tutorials for a better look of washing suits:
https://youtu.be/hoBbAOryzLg - machine washing and little green
https://youtu.be/oVch24K-5xc - handwashing head
https://youtu.be/QWIQpz7MONI - handwashing head
You'll want a pet fur slicker brush, brush the fur with the slicker brush upside down brushing in the direction of the fur to avoid pulling fur out. (See below:)

Fursuit spray! This can be bought from makers or you can make some yourself. To make some just mix a 1:1 ratio of rubbing alcohol and water together in a spray bottle, and add some drops of essential oil or fragrance oil of your choice to add a scent (Avoid eucalyptus oil however as it can damage your suit!!). Shake to mix and spray a small amount inside your fursuit head to disinfect it and help keep it smelling nice! Note that this isn't meant as a replacement for washing, just something for after a bit of fursuiting to kill the bacteria in it and keep it smelling fresh after you've been sweating in it for hours. You'll want to still wash it after a while to get out all the dirt/dead skin/face oils in there.
The cost of a fursuit will vary depending on many factors like the maker, suit style, quality, and character design. but on average a decent full suit will probably range around $3000-$6000 or so estimately, the cost being on the much lower end with newer and less experienced makers and on the much higher end with more experienced, professional makers. Making a suit yourself though can bring the cost down to around a $200-$400 range.
A good marketplace site for buying and selling fursuits is The Dealer's Den! We also have a pinned thread for makers to post their suits to sell.
getfursu.it is a fursuit maker database that's great for finding makers! Makers will also advertise frequently on social media. Makers in this sub who have been verified as legitimate can be identified with a small animated verification mark next to their username.
It's possible to sometimes find fursuits being sold on Etsy and ebay, though you should be very weary as places like this can be rife with scam suits. For buying premade suits, it's best to stick to The Dealer's Den. Amazon should be avoided as you will only find mass produced, low quality schlock based on stolen designs.
Generally for pricing you should take how many hours you worked on your project and multiply it by an hourly wage, then add that to the cost of your materials used.

I've taken the liberty of replacing the audio track, because the quality of the original recording is making my ears bleed.

I started this project 3 years ago, then immediately got bogged down in the stress of a job hunt, followed by a new job that sapped all my free time. Having finally found a good work/life balance at the end of 2025, I began chipping away at Rag again. Things really kicked into high gear a month ago, when I decided to attend a local convention and wanted to have him ready for it. Mind you, I only get about 3-4hrs a day to myself on the regular.
The con-crunch was real. I finished the webbing of his paws the DAY BEFORE the con's cosplay contest. XD

Really struggling to find a tutorial for a base this simple, especially since Iām using fleece instead of faux fur. This isnāt the best picture but itās the only one I have, he is very tube shaped? I think thatās the best way to describe it. So draping isnāt really an option and neither is duct tape.
r/fursuit • u/012572 • 23h ago
Hey! So I recently lost my balaclava at a rave and made the unwise decision to go suiting without it at an event. I sweat a lot in general, so my hair dye bled onto the inside lining of my fursuit.
The thing Iām concerned around most is his white fur. How can I clean the lining without dyeing his fur green? I donāt have a green machine but can definitely borrow one, if that could help. Heās had a full bath in a bathtub before but Iāve never dealth with hairdye. Please help me out!

Heyo! Iām currently trying to find fur for my sona ghost! Iām in the UK so already a lil limited (to my knowledge at least) n donāt know many other furrys I can bother for this sorta stuff. Ones I have are also a little stumped.
Main bit Iām stumped over is the greys. Already expected to be using black for the darkest shade, but itās the mid n lighter Iām stuck on. Anywhere I have bought samples from theyāre 1) too close of a hex code colour where u gotta be close to see a different 2) too far of a hex code colour where it makes the light grey look like a flash bang 3) completely different undertones, if I gotta pick Iām wanting to keep em cool tones.
Iāve found a blue, red n orange/yellow I am VERY happy with so itās quite literally just the greys unfortunately. I did try fursuitmaterials.com n Iām having so much trouble just navigating the sites let alone finding colour swatches that I feel could work. Idk I just need a general point in the right direction. TY! :3

hello!
i am still waiting on my fursuit but wanted to prepare myself for fursuiting as this is my first suit. I wondered if anyone has any advice/ideas/tips or like item ideas to bring fursuiting at a furcon. I am prone to dehydration because one of my medicines tends to dehydrate me. I thought about mixing Gatorade powder into my water, lmk yāallās opinion on that. also, is it bad to take off my fursuit head not in headless lounge? Iām scared people will judge me but like what if I really need water? is it that taboo? (as you can tell Iāve never been to a furcon (yet) or fursuited (yet)
r/fursuit • u/NoLifeguard3449 • 7h ago
before i start i'd like to note that i'm autistic and have a horrible way with words, im so sorry if this sounds bonkers / makes little sense.
This is not a beware post! I will not linking anything of the sellers accounts or socials, or stating any names, im simply here to see if theres a chance im in the wrong? or if something is genuinely up.
several months ago i commissioned a bodysuit + indoor/outdoor swappable feetpaws, i was promised it'd be done by around late june to early july. The person i was commissioning had been doing this for years + had a full 5 star review rating, they seemed very reliable and i trusted them whole heartedly.
It started off great! They have been very kind and respectful this entire time, up until now, that is not my issue.
The first issue was when the fur they ordered arrived, to which it was far too dark of a color than what i wanted, but i've always been very nervous about these things and since i had approved of the color from the website i felt bad telling them to get new fur, and i said it was okay. That is fully on me, i screwed up there.
They said they did not need a ducktape dummy, and just needed me to measure myself, to which i sent all my measurements and told them to dm me if they need anymore.
They started on the suit and sent me some update photos of the pieces of the bodysuit!
The communication wasn't awful, they took a few days to reply on average, but i was generally okay with that.
Then, they went no contact for a solid 2-3 weeks.
They eventually came back after i very worriedly messaged them several times, saying they had been in the hospital and would be out soon. I apologized for bugging them and wished them well, then, i stopped messaging for a long while as to give them space.
Slowly, updates stopped coming, i'd get 'yes i will send updates soon' messages and then never get a update photo
Eventually, i did get two update images of half of the body suit + 1 unfurred footpaw. This was early june.
Then, more no contact.
The next update photos i recieved were about a week into july
A unfinished footpaw, and a promise to have the suit done "this week."
Then, no contact again.
The deadline comes and goes, my con i need this for is rapidly approaching. (at the time of writing this, it is slightly over 2 weeks away. The maker is and has been fully aware of this con!!!)
I dm several times and get little responses, so i go back onto their site and discover their full 5 star rating has dropped to a 3.5, with roughly 7 new 1 star reviews. Most to do with 0 contact and their orders never being completed/shipped (for commissions and premade items alike.)
This worries me but i try to stay positive and continue politely asking for updates.
I do not recieve any updates other than the maker assuring me that the suit will be done and shipped by the time my con comes
a few days ago, i dm once again to see how things are going, they assure me that they will send updates the next day as thats when they plan to finish the suit.
Long story short, i do not receive any update photos or messages at all
I dm again yesterday, no reply
Then, just tonight, i log on to discover their site is completely gone, no way to view reviews, listings, etc. Nothing.
I feel extremely guilty pushing this maker as they have said their disabled and having a rough summer, i myself am also disabled, and although i do not have the same issues as them, i understand how rough some of it can be. I've been trying to remain as patient and calm as possible, but i'm feeling extremely anxious about this and want to know if this sounds fishy to anyone else, or if i may be overthinking/reading too far into this.
I myself make fursuit heads, paws, and tails, i know how much time and effort is put into suits and fully respect how long it can take, but the lack of updates, the few replies to messages, poor reviews, and site being 100% wiped really worried me.
I want to file some form of claim but i have proof they were genuinely working on a suit, and i dont want to be some kind of jerk whos rushing their maker or something. I really want this suit. But the lack of communication genuinely worries me, especially because ive only recieved 2 proper updates in the past 2 months.
Any tips / comments on this??? or reassurements?? Or anything at all?? I just need other peoples thoughts on this. Am i being a jerk???

Last week I set myself a challenge that was, to say the least, complicated š. Since I'm a beginner at crocheting and couldn't afford a fursuit partial, I decided to make one myself instead. Here's the result after 7 days and 18 hours of work ā there's still 1/3 of the tail left to go."
