to tell the truth i haven't worn my collar for about 3,4 months

yeah I live in a really small apartment with one roommate who is a nonfur so I only really get to wear my collar like once a month.

I actually invented a light-up collar in sixth grade when we were working with electrics in science class xD although it's lost now

Alright so I went out today & got myself a collar I only went to the store to look but they had a nice chunky red nylon collar & not too expensive.

its still my first couple hours with but heres what I think so far ^^

the good- I love the way it looks on me, its exactly what my fursona wears & it looks so cool and furry
wearing it feels great its like stepping into another furry world I know it sounds silly but I really feel more furry wearing it. I havent even worn it outside yet & I'm looking forward to trying it ^^

the bad- its crazy uncomfortable! Bayzan said they are uncomfortable tho I wasnt expecting it this bad. I already tried adjusting the collar, if its lose enough to get my fingers between the collar & my neck its still really uncomfortable. its scratchy & itchy & it feels like I'm being choked even tho its really lose
if I tighten it so its up against my neck then its not so scratchy but the choking feeling gets alot worse & it still itches.

I dont think its really choking me its just how it feels cause I can still breathe & its lose enough to get my fingers between the collar and my neck easy. Its cause my necks so sensitive I dont even like wearing clothes with collars cause it bothers my neck.
shoulda figured. I'm not used to wearing anything round my neck not even clothes & a nylon collar is a lot less comfortable than clothes

how do you collar wearing furries deal with it? should I just kinda force myself to wear it so I get used to it? I really want to be able to wear this collar ^^

the choking feeling is all about finding the exact right size collar for you. Too loose, and it slides around, too tight and it chokes you. I like to leave room for my throat if I need to yawn or swallow. It's also about finding the right material. My collar is made of canvas and it's actually pretty comfortable once you get used to it, but you will find that some collars itch a lot. If you want, you can change to leather since it's a much smoother material. Just fiddle around till you find what you like.

thanks KangaDrake mines adjustable I can make it lose enough that it slides around or too tight but I cant find anywhere in the middle where its comfortable
I'm gonna try and keep it on to get used to it. its choking a bit but if I loosen it it slides around and I hate that
is it easy to get used to wearing it, how long does it take?

what I did was to find the exact right adjustment and then I punched an extra hole in and it fit great. Depending on the material you'll get used to it at varying speeds.

Try a padded leather one, mine is comfy and has no problems
