The Many Kinds of Fursuits

Fursuiting is a fun and rewarding hobby for individuals of many backgrounds and origins! Seeing and breathing through the eyes and mouth of another being for even a short time creates a magic incomparable to anything else for many people! To some, it is just a hobby and a nice way to let loose while for others it can be exciting and energizing, or even relaxing and more comfortable. Some find that fursuiting is only fun in an immersive experience with a fully covering suit, while others are too hot or exhausted and would rather just wear a half suit or partial! For some people, fursuiting is just not for them and thats okay too! Figuring out where to start can be daunting, so let us guide you through the many kinds of fursuit costumes!
