Information on how to be a handler for fursuiter(s) while still enjoying your own con experience, or what to expect whilst suiting with/out a handler, and managing yourself at the con. (Will include Real-experienced examples/scenarios, supplies, and visual representation(s) of how it works from both sides, as a handler and a suiter.)

I mainly intend for this to cover things listed above but for a slightly more detailed breakdown for those trying to decide if this is the panel for them to attend or listen in on, I'll list a small ToC of everything I intend to cover and the order I'll cover them in....
- Introduction & describing experience (brief)
- Fursuit vision and body types, mobility, fragility, cleanliness, different types of styles and fur that can handle different types of strain or touch.
- Tips on what to carry on-hand while handling, what to look out for, how to respond to others, how to communicate and set up coordinated plans with suiter(s).
- Audience questions <--If no questions backup topics will be to go into further detail on some topics above as well as having some present suiters add their experiences.

Shedding Inhibitions: A Guide to Public Fursuiting

Friday July 4, 2025 7:00pm - 8:00pm EDT

DLCC 306-307

"So you own a fursuit, know how to care for it and are having a blast with it at conventions? Great! Perhaps you've also considered bringing your fursona out into everyday areas, but the idea makes you uneasy, uncertain or insecure. This is very common, and understandably so - its a big step!

I'm Ferdinand, a ferret with fifteen years of public fursuiting under my belt, and I'd like to pass my experience and hard-won nuggets of knowledge down to you. In this informative panel, learn the important differences between con suiting and public suiting, as well as:

- where to go and not to go
- what to bring
- proper etiquette with the general public
- when to interact(and when to steer clear!)
- keeping your suit safe

...and more!

I hope you'll join me, and learn if public fursuiting is right for you!"

Most of us have heard about how to care for our fursuits, but what about the person inside of the fursuit? Fursuiting can involve activities that increase our internal temperature, increase our heart rate, and put our bodies under a lot of stress. But things you can do before, during, and after fursuiting can help you to fursuit longer, recover faster, and get back out in your fluffy carpet sooner. They say that fursuiting is cardio, and like cardio we can make fursuiting easier and more fun by following precautions and preparing ourselves. Whether you're a newbie or someone who's been suiting for a while, come and learn how to better take care of what's under the colorful carpet of fur! Got your own experiences and recovery methods? Come share them!
