How to put it together

  1. 1

    Choose a high-impact inflatable theme that matches your sense of humor and the event's space constraints.

  2. 2

    Unpack the suit and inspect the built-in fan, ensuring it is securely screwed into the fabric port.

  3. 3

    Insert fresh, high-capacity batteries into the power pack or connect a fully charged USB power bank.

  4. 4

    Step into the costume, pulling it up gently and securing the elastic cuffs at your wrists and ankles.

  5. 5

    Turn on the fan, zip the suit completely closed, and wait about two minutes for it to fully inflate.

  6. 6

    Adjust the neck and face openings to ensure you have clear visibility and a comfortable seal.

Tips

  • Always carry a set of spare batteries or a fully charged USB power bank in case the fan dies.
  • Wear lightweight, breathable clothing underneath, as the inside of the suit can get quite warm.
  • Ensure the elastic bands at your wrists and ankles are tight to prevent air from escaping.
  • Be mindful of your surroundings; the oversized dimensions make it easy to bump into walls or people.

Inflatable Costumes costume FAQ

How do inflatable costumes stay inflated?
They have a small, built-in electric fan powered by a battery pack that continuously blows air into the sealed polyester suit.
Do inflatable costumes get hot inside?
Yes, because they are made of sealed polyester, they can trap body heat. Wearing light, moisture-wicking clothes underneath helps.
Can you sit down in an inflatable costume?
Yes, but you must do so carefully. The air will compress, so sitting slowly prevents putting too much stress on the seams.
