FurScience ran a survey at Anthrocon 2018 on furry paraphernalia ownership and found “45.8% of furries owned a partial or full fursuit.” This contrasts sharply with a 2011 online poll that found only 25% of furries partially owned a fursuit, and less than 15% had a full one (although nearly half planned to own a partial or full fursuit).įurScience cross-examined the two studies and suggested that sample pools and socioeconomic status may impact how many furries report owning a fursuit. There’s no census for the furry fandom, so it’s impossible to know for sure how many furries wear fursuits. Other common fursuit structures include the “partial” fursuit, such as a head with a tail or paws, and the Japanese kigurumi, an increasingly popular “alternative for heavier, hotter, more movement-restricting, and expensive fursuits,” Artists Beware notes.ĭespite popular belief, fursuits are not used exclusively for sex, although some fursuiters enjoy fursuit sex or have specific fursuits for having sex. Traditional fullsuits vary in terms of padding and artistic style, from cartoonish anthropormorphic characters to realistic fur and attributes. The most commonly recognized fursuit is the “fullsuit,” or a fursuit that covers its participant’s entire body from head to toe, artist community resource Artists Beware writes. Most fursuiters enjoy creating or commissioning fursuits of their own fursonas, although this isn’t always the case. ![]() ![]() According to WikiFur, Fursuits are “animal-based costumes associated with the furry fandom.” Furries who enjoy wearing fursuits commonly create or commission suits of their own fursonas with the intention of taking them to conventions, furry events, geek conventions, or doing photo shoots and modeling, if not all three.
