Same with me, just hope I get the courage and wear one someday.

Public accessorising isn't my thing as I'm not that deep into the fandom, unless I was at a furmeet then I totally would. My accessory would probably be some big ears attatched to a short black wig or summat, and that would just be silly in the wrong context.

you are me, and i am you
i would wear a tail for fun at events but deffinetly not in public. not just because it would draw alot of possibly unwanted attention, but it would also get dirty, steeped on or even stolen.
The problem is, the shop that i want to get a tail from would cost me an absolute fortune. 35$ for the tail + shipping from america. which in the end would cost me 80$+

It's all fun and games...
I really want one of neurowear's shippo tails http://neurowear.com/projects_detail/shippo.html to go with my nekomimi ears. So cute!!
I don't often wear my ears out in public unless it's a special occasion or I'm going to the local dungeon. I do wear a collar frequently and so far I haven't gotten any bad responses. Either people don't care/don't notice or they compliment me on it. If I had the tail, I'd want to wear it everywhere, but I'm not sure if I would be brave enough to.

That's quite interesting; I heard about the ears, but not the tails. I definitely wouldn't be brave enough to wear that around though. I haven't looked into how the neurowear stuff works, but maybe more advanced fursuits in the future could use that kind of thing for moving ears, tails, etc?

It is fun to wear, I've worn it just twice so far. The most I was out in "public" with it was me wearing it while I was biking to my boyfriend's place. It has caused a few people to do "double takes" like "whoa, did I just see what I think I saw?" Nothing negative or positive, really.
I think I will wear it more around Halloween, as well as my dragon tail and horns ensemble that I am getting.

I'm interested to see how far this kind of thing will go. Having it in fursuits would be nice because then it would hide the sensors. The one on the forehead can be pretty glaring.
I think the tail works primarily by monitoring your pulse while the ears are triggered by brain activity, using something similar to an EEG.

I apologize in advance if a similar thread has been posted.
So I just ordered a tail keychain online, basically a long faux fur tail with a clip at the top so you can wear it on your belt loop as a tail. Who else has a tail that they wear out in public? Do you wear your tail proudly or are you worried other people might think its strange? Are you sporting a cat tail, fox tail, wolf tail, raccoon tail....what kind of tail do you like to wear?
I am also terrified to wear my tail, but there is a girl in my class who comes to school in her tail, people usually don't mind

Wow, nice necro. This thread has been dead for months.

I had bought a fox tail at a Renaissance festival and wore it there. Back in highschool I'd wear it (like 8-10 years ago lol). I moved from wearing it on my butt to wearing it on my bag. Though I don't do it anymore, I know there is some rock stars that still do it....

Maybe once I move out of the house. My parents would probably go mental if they saw me sporting a tail with my daily wear.

I have a 6 foot lemur tail along with lemur ears and fingerless paws. I also wear some punk gear with it. Spikes, collars, etc.
It's pretty damn conspicuous. I have worn it in public a number of times and the reception is generally positive. I actually get a huge rush of enjoyment wearing it in non-furry settings, but I don't do it most of the time. I've taken it to gay bars though, as well as meetups with other weird folks (weird in non-furry ways).
On one instance I went to a sports bar near a convention looking for wifi, and... got quite a reaction. Some of the girls in the bar wanted to tug the tail as a drunk game. Got some cold glances but nobody's said anything negative directly at my face.

Ah, but by wearing it, you've now transformed the setting into a furry one. A new situation made manifest by your desire. It's very zen.
I mean, yeah, you're the only one their with a tail, but everyone else is wearing a mask. Hiding their own desires behind veneers of normal-ness. I'm totally being dramatic, but by embracing yourself, you become a truer person. Lemur. Whatever.

I still prefer classic furry-related settings. Though I have worn tails around those events (in the supermarket before going to a con, for example) and noone ever cared.

There's so many trends nowadays they probably just thought it was something they weren't hip enough to understand. We're ahead of the curve in a way.
Also, I think you're the first Seagull avian I've spoken to. That's awesome.
Spatel, does that tail ever get dirty? Do you drag it around or carry it? I'd be worried about someone stepping on it, heh.

furry hipsters? it makes too much sense to not happen.
I drag the tail indoors in some places, if the floor looks reasonably clean, but I carry it outdoors or in dirty places. I want to set up some kind of suspension thingy to hold it behind me so I don't have to hold it all the time. I have a hook on my laptop bag I can also hook it to to carry it hands-free. Nevertheless a tail like that gets dirty, and I wash it frequently.

I never wore a tail, but I certainly wouldn't drag it around with it on the floor, even in my own room.

If I were to get a tail, I would most definitely want one that is either a. short enough to avoid touching the floor or b. suspended by something. The floor is a very dirty place, especially in public settings.

I have a full feline tail. It goes with my ears, fuzzy cuffs, and legwarmers. All of which are bright blue. I tend to only wear it when at cons or going to parties with people I know are cool with it. Otherwise in my daily life I dont wear them. As has been mentioned before, they get in the way of everyday life and I cant exactly walk into the office wearing a bright blue tail thats down to my ankles

I've just worn my tail out to the local convenience store that is around the corner from my house. The store clerk that is there is in love with my tail. He loves how bushy it is. I just bought this tail at a con. I have another one that is misplaced somewhere in the house. It's a MUCH bigger and longer tail also tri-colored! I have not yet worn it anywhere else. I don't wear ears outside yet, because I'm in the process of converting it from elastic band to a headband so it'll be much more secure on my head. Spatel, your lemur tail is amazing!
