I personally like the first one.

And I don't think it sounds stupid, I want to buy a prosthetic tail and ears... and where them wherever I can...

The first one seems the most usable of the 3, and it looks amazing. If you are planning to use it I say first one because the fin part of the tail looks more usable to me

I guess I'd take the first one. What is it for, if I may ask? (:

I'd personally take the first one or the second one. I don't like the color of the third, though.

The first looks amazing! I remember my Godmother made me a dozen of these to swim in! but she used fabric, which just fell apart lol I might buy one of these too.

Sweet, how does it affect your swimming? :)

Well...the first one would be extremely hard to use as you can't scrape it on the bottom of the pool and therre is a monofin. The second and third tails have a hole in the bottom you can walk through. As far as affecting swimming, it makes me a little slower, but the main point is forr the looks and feel. :)

In high school I am planning to start training to be a mermaid at weeki wachee! :D

EDIT: The more I practice swimming with my legs bound in the tail, the more used to it I get, and the faster I swim. It is very fun and the attention from little kids is adorable. :)

"Mommy, look! She's a MERMAID! :O"

Oh, for swimming. Then I would've chosen the 2nd too.

I was actually going to say 1st or 2nd in my other post. Didn't like the color of the 3rd one, tbh, but that's just me.

Very cool! As you figured out, you will eventually get used to using your legs and fins together as one, instead of trying to use your feet(which don't hel as much with the fins on) Good Luck!
