How to Wear Moving Ears and Tails
How to wear, move, film, store and travel with your ears and tails.
Moving ears and tails are worn with a whole costume, so plan the character first and then the power, fit and packing around how you will wear it.
Moving Ears in Four Steps
- Charge. Charge the headband with a USB-C charger the night before.
- Pick a speed. Slow motion reads calm and natural in photos; a faster setting suits video and big reactions.
- Put them on. Settle your wig first, then slide the band on and place the ears where your character's ears would sit.
- Tilt and react. Tilt your head and the ears answer. Practise a few looks in the mirror.
Electric Tails in Three Steps
- Charge and check the remote. Start the day with a full charge and keep the remote somewhere easy to reach.
- Fasten at the waist. Wear the belt or strap under or over your outfit so the tail hangs where your character's would.
- Walk and sit at home first. Try crowds, stairs and chairs in your living room before the convention floor.
Where They Shine
Conventions
Charge everything, pack the cable and do one full test wear with the complete costume.
Photo Shoots
Frame above the ear tips and give the tail room in the shot so the motion and outline read clearly.
Streams and Video
An ear flick or a tail sway makes an easy on-camera reaction. Pause the motion between takes when the mic is close.
Care and Packing
Brush faux fur gently with a soft brush, keep pieces dry and away from heat, and store ears and tails boxed or loosely wrapped so the shapes are not crushed. Keep USB-C ports dry.
Every product has its own wearing guide with tips for that exact piece. You will find it linked on the product page.
