General Questions

Do you use real fur?

No! Only the fluffiest, finest faux-furs we can find! We also use fleece, scaly fabrics, scuba, spandex and lots and lots of other stuff too.

Do you need an internet connection to use our gear?

No, only a bluetooth connection to your phone, which - once set up - can happily go in a pocket or a bag.

How do you wear a Tail?

Our Baby Tails have a sturdy built in belt loop at the base, and you can slide pretty much any belt through it, to attach to the body. It keeps the tail in the right place, especially when moving, of course. We also stock [really comfortable] belts too.

MiTails have our innovative D-Clip for quick attaching and removal. And it comes with the tail.

Why do you make Tails, Ears and Wings?

Because evolution was unkind to us, wasn’t it!

Who wears Tails, Ears and Wings?

All different kinds of people – from Cosplayers to Furries, from Performers to Neko folks to Costume Designers and LARPers. And with 1000s of our items out in the wild, this is the best place to get that extra limb you have always wanted. Heres a little blog post about that very topic!

What does a NAKED Tail / Ears / Wings mean?

Thats our gear without a cover for those that want to make their own. We can get you a pattern if you would like, too!

How long does it take to get your tails, ears and wings?

Exact predictions are hard! We handmake everything to order, and the making queue can change in small ways. But as a good rule of thumb, things take around 4-5 weeks. We also have a Rush service. 

Can you modify or adapt your gear?

Yes you can! And in fact there is a vibrant community of makers that do just that. Come and talk to us in our dev group on Telegram.

Are there extra charges when someone orders something?

The short answer is no. However, there are often many ways to achieve different looks with our tails and ears. After a design meeting, we may offer you different approaches to create the look you want. Some of these, like airbrushing, may incur an extra charge. The same is true for highly complex designs. We will always ask you first before any extra work is carried out.

Questions about using our items

Are there instructions?

You can find MiTail ones [here](https://thetailcompany.com/mitail.pdf), MiWings ones [here](https://thetailcompany.com/miwings.pdf), EarGear [here,](https://thetailcompany.com/eargear.pdf) Classic ones [here](https://thetailcompany.com/classic.pdf) and Baby tails [here](https://thetailcompany.com/baby.pdf).

Do tails, ears and wings make sound?

All things with servos inside them will make sound - how much depends on what they are covered with, and which move they are making. The vast majority of people are not bothered by it all. There are videos on our Instagram and TikTok that let you hear the sound. But remember - that's one tail, covered one way, and recorded on a certain phone. It may be a little different for you. MiWings are pretty silent.

Can I wear my tails, ears and wings everywhere?

Whilst we would love to say yes, there are circumstances where wearing a tail is a bad idea. Riding a motorbike for example! Operating heavy machinery. Deep sea diving. Anywhere it might get caught in something and damage it, or damage you! Our MiTails, EarGear and MiWings can be removed quickly to help with this. [So please wag responsibly!](https://thetailcompany.com/responsiblewagging.pdf)

My tail, ears, wings wont charge. What can I do?

Each of our items comes with its own charger, and whilst EarGear and MiTail chargers look similar, they only work with the item they came with. EarGear charger for example wont charge MiTail for example. MiWings needs its own charger, and \*the power switch on the battery must be on for it to charge\*

Are there manuals?

Yes, you can find our manuals here: Manuals
