that poor camra.......R.I.P

isnt that bad for thefursuit?

Yes. Very. :-3 Depends on what it's made of, really, but yes, very bad. :-3

lol poor fursuit

Actually, there's nothing bad about getting a fursuit wet (and I know one furry who has often gotten his fursuit covered in mud!). Never washing a fursuit is far worse than getting it wet, and you gotta get it wet to wash it! The only case in which water might harm a fursuit is if the suit isn't dried fast enough.

And that brings up what is the fursuit padding made of?

If it's reticulated foam, closed-cell polyethylene foam (that's what those pool-toy "noodles" are made of), no problem. Reticulated foam is so porous and open that water will flow right in--and right out again. It also breathes well and dries well. Closed-cell polyethylene foam is waterproof, like rubber. It doesn't breathe at all, and can't absorb any water. Polyester batting is also washable.

But if the padding is of open-cell polyurethane foam, that could be a problem. This is the common foam that's used in cushions, uupholstered furniture, and mattresses. It absorbs water very readily, then takes forever to dry. (Latex foam has the same problem.)

By the way, never use any heat to wash of dry a fursuit!

Well, I know this might be a bit late to be of help to that fox, but maybe you or someone else will find this useful!

It's too bad he was cussing the hole time :/ I don't think the girls parents were very impressed.
