Frequently asked questions!
We have been fursuiting for many years, and throughout our many years of suiting, we have gotten lots of questions. So here we will answer some of the questions we get most!
What is Fursuiting? And What Are Fursuits?
Fursuiting is a hobby, when you wear (normally) animal costumes. Fursuits are hand made anthropomorphic animal costumes. They can be made by the wearer/owner, or made by a professional Fursuit Maker/Artist. (All our personal fursuits are made by professionals.)
Fursuiting is when you dress up in these animal costumes and have fun! Fursuiting is different for everyone. We know you have assumptions, but know that anyone you ask, their answer could be different. For us, fursuiting is about fun, smiles, and spreading love and joy! For others, and ourselves.
Why Do You Fursuit?
As stated above, we love to make people smile! Who can't smile at a dancing dog walking down the street right? We love to see people happy, we love to spread joy and love. Fursuiting is just a really fun way to do so. We also love to use our fursuits and performance skills to help charities, and to suit for people of all ages. It is a hobby and passion we feel we are very good at.
Are you a "Furry"? Are all fursuiters Furries?
Yes, we technically are furries. We tend to just call ourselves "fursuiters" most of the time. But we are apart of the furry fandom and participate in lots of furry events and conventions. We do a lot of fursuiting within, and outside of the furry fandom.
Not all fursuiters are furries, no! Some people just like the costumes. And that's okay! Please also know that sometimes people are not in a "fursuit", but some can be considered Cosplay.
Do you go to conventions?
YES. YES. YES. Ahem. Yes. We Love conventions. We go to a variety of cons all in fursuit. Anime, Furry, Scifi, etc. Conventions have sent us traveling and we attend as many as we're allowed. You can find many convention stories within our blog.
How do I take care of my fursuit?
We get asked this so much, we are known for how clean and nice our fursuits look. Because we constantly take care of them! If you want to know how to clean them, and take care of them, please visit our webshow website for info! If you have a question, be sure to email into FW and we can help.
Fursuit Washing and Care
Can you wear your fursuit in public?
Yes! We do all the time! Just be aware of your surroundings, make sure you Always have a handler, and if you're going to business or event, ask the manager or organizer if you can attend in suit before going in. (Most stores and shopping malls will ask you to leave, masks are not allowed) Fursuiting in public can be a gamble, you never know how people will react to you. But public fursuiting is one of our favorite things!
What Is "Fursuiters World"?
Fursuiter's world was a web based show that was created by us to help give advice to those who were new to the fandom and suiting. We had the original series from 2012-2013, we canceled it in late 2013 and stopped making it until late 2015 when we decided to revive the show and start from scratch!

Fursuiter's World on Vimeo
Are there videos of your fursuit adventures?
There used to be. Sadly, our personal Vimeo was terminated due to music. We were unable to find a new hosting website. So we started to include adventure episodes into Fursuiter's World, and plan to expand our episodes to have more adventure, convention, and event videos.
