Furries are individuals who are part of the Furry Fandom, a community that celebrates anthropomorphic animal characters and art by dressing up as them.
The Furry Fandom is a diverse and inclusive space where people express themselves through their unique fursonas, embracing a sense of imaginative freedom and connection with like-minded individuals.
Furries vs Fursuiters vs Plushies
Furries are established over the entire Furry Fandom, meaning that the other categories would be considered a type of furry.
Fursuiters are those who enjoy wearing full furry suits or furry masks. This isn’t limited to a canine or feline—a fursuiter can be a dragon, gorilla, essentially anything with animal characteristics.
Plushies are furries who prefer bigger, puffier, cartoonier fursuits that are more reminiscent of stuffed animals. The word can also be referred to people who are into stuffed animals.
What is a Baby Diaper Furs & Why The Negative Attention?
Baby Diaper Furs are those involved in the ABDL/Babyfur Fandom who enjoy roleplaying as younger characters.
The negative attention is likely because people don’t really understand the appeal of it, aside from those who partake in it.

How Do People Become Furries?
Many people are introduced to the community and realize how much they enjoy it. This can be through a friend, a poly partner, videos from YouTube or other social media, etc.
Funnily enough, a lot of people get into it after getting really obsessed with things like Disney or Pokémon.
If when you were a kid, you would pretend to be a Pikachu or if you ran around recess being the “horse girl”, then you at least have some idea of what being a furry feels like. It’s just fun and has a sense of giddy “freedom”.
How Often Do You Wash Your Fursuit?
It’s best to wash your fursuit after every extended time you use it. For example, if you were at a FurCon for several hours and have been sweating, give it a full wash after the event.
If you don’t use your suit for such extended periods of time (some people just use it to take pictures in), at least wash it when you notice that it stinks, has a stain, or is getting dirty.
That said, some kinks involve scents and using the suit for that can be a reason to delay washing it.
What is a Fursona & How Do You Define It?
A Fursona can either be the animal form that represents you or it can be an animal personality that is a character that has its own personality that you roleplay as.
Ultimately, your fursona is who you are when you are wearing your fur suit or outfit. The same way your dream-ego is whoever you are when you are dreaming in your sleep.
There really aren’t any limits to it, as long as you don’t break the fantasy others are trying to enjoy.

How Do You Keep Things Fun During Sex (as a furry)
Some people where full suits that make it very difficult to have full-on sex in. So they are forced to take off parts of their fursuits. Other fursuits have holes and zippers that make sexual acts easier.
But what if you want to remove the suits without messing with the sexy vibe?
One thing you can do is where blindfolds, so the lack of fursuits doesn’t impact the mood of the scene.
We recommend having this backup furry pet kink set so that you can still keep the sex fun and furry while getting to enjoy each other’s entire bodies.
