FINIS Luna Mermaid Swim Monofin

Great for a beginner mermaid,Biggest and only problem I have with these was the silicone straps snapped after 2 months of continuous use. Not I'm out $60. I never hung it or held it by the straps and always rinsed it after use. Never left it in a car either. Plus side it does fit in a finfun adult basic tail. And amazing swim speed while still having that mythical tail flop. Much better than finfuns monofin. No blisters on this sensitive skin either.Overall even with the straps breaking due to a missed crack in the silicone I'd Still buy another one. Way cheaper than the finis shooter and easier for a novice mermaid to use and has a quick release straps

Strap ripped on the first usage. This is the second Luna Monofin I've owned. the first one I had for 2 years without issue, but then the strap ripped. I purchased this second Luna to replace it, and the same issue happened on the first usage.While it's a really comfortable monofin (when the straps don't tear), it's not worth the cost and headache.

This is my favorite monofin so far for pool swimming. It is small enough to transport somewhat easily, and it is strong enough to give pretty good propulsion in pools and gentle waters. I don't think it would be strong enough to propel as effectively as flippers or a more solid monofin in waters with tide or flow, so please make sure you know basic mermaid safety before you try swimming with this or any other monofin in open water. This one is rather floppy, BUT that makes it look flowy and beautiful when swimming in gentle waters if you're going for a photoshoot or something. I'll add pictures to this review if I ever get around to doing that.I use this one in gym or hotel pools with leggings or swim bottoms as a fun workout, but have also used it with sling mermaid tail covers, and it looks beautiful with blue or green "sling" tail skins (which you may have to make on your own). I haven't heard of covers made specifically for the Luna, but some merfolk have said that the Mertailor Guppy or Magictail Pro tail skins will fit great over this monofin.I have size 10 US women's feet and find this comfortable, and it is easy to get out of when you get an inevitable foot cramp or any other reason. I'll warn that it does sink, so don't drop it anywhere deep if you can prevent it!Overall I'd recommend this monofin for beginner mermaids looking for a comfortable and safe monofin to start out and mess around in, or for anyone who wants to swim in a monofin in gentle or still waters. It is SO FUN!!!

My 8 yr old had seen her first video on YouTube of real life mermaids... from their, the obsession began. She desperately wanted to be a mermaid! So after a year of teaching her the dolphin kick and the proper swim and breathing techniques, she had earned herself a good quality fin. So I began the search and started watching videos on others opinions of the best ones on the market. After trying to find the right one, we decided the Luna fin would be the best match for our little mermaid! So so happy we did! It’s adjustable and fairly comfortable for her. The push through the water is pretty good with each kick, however if your looking for a monofin to make you fly through the water, I don’t feel like this is the best fit. It’s pretty floppy which does have an amazing natural movement but obviously the stiffer monofin will give you more thrust through the water. For a beginner fin for my now 9 yr old, it’s FANTASTIC and my daughter loves it! So incredibly happy we made this purchase. My ONLY complaint about this product is the top of the foot inserts on the fin, do cause a bit of irritation from rubbing on my little ones foot after consistent wear and swim. I feel like this could be easily resolved with the use of a neoprene sock so it wasn’t a big deal for us. Fortunately my daughter has developed some calluses from frequent use so it hasn’t been a big discomfort for her. HIGHLY RECOMMEND FOR NEW LITTLE MERMAIDS AND MERMEN!

Despite the neg reviews I decide to order this because it was made by FINIS and I have FINIS EDGE and Zoomer fins & Finis paddles - they're good. However, this Monofin had a 4" rip near the entry of a foot pocket right out of the package. The fin blade t is too large and heavy for the soft silicone materials supporting it - the straps and foot pocket . When one inspects vulnerable areas - based on other reviews - it's apparent the silicone stress areas are cut at angles that weaken it. I doubt this product was tested very well. It's flawed and subpar and a waste of money. I am surprised Finis sells this - it's bound to fail. Finis needs to re-design/ re-engineer this fin with better materials.Didn't even try them out because of this and will not buy anything designed like it in the future. I am very happy with my other FINIS fins. I ordered the Body Glove mermaid type monofin and it's the opposite - very stiff and seems sturdy. I have worn it and it has been difficult to control. I think it's reasonably durable but have read the straps break and BodyGlove isn't selling replacements - that I have found. Rather ridiculous and I wonder why these two iconic companies can't do better.
