I did contacts last year for the first time ever trying to wear them and boy it was a pain in the butt. I got them a month before halloween and spent the 2nd day up to halloween trying to get them in lol *darn you long eyelashes!* i couldnt get my finger to touch my eyeball w/o blinking lol I ended up going to lens crafters where one of the eye doctors taught me how to put them in. It took a few tries w/ his technique but i got it down.

here are the contacts I bought last year.

great company! I called them up because of the trouble I was having they were able to give me some advice and they said if I still couldnt get them in they would issue me a full refund. =]

I've tried Scarecrow fangs. . they're the best ready made ones out there.

But I really prefer to make my own.

Here's a tutorial on making fangs.. and a kit that's available.

This is true....but the Scarecrow fangs do have a substance you have to use to mold the teeth to yours....but once you do it the first time you don't ever have to do it again. They will be molded to your teeth and stay that way so you can re-use them over and over again

Love love love my scarecrow fangs. I have two sets, on regular size and one 'subtle' (smaller). I have had them both for years, and they truly do pop right in and out. I don't eat with them in, but I do drink. I got colored contacts last year, and had no trouble adjusting to them, even though I do not wear contacts in the real world. But piraticalstyle is absolutely correct, DO NOT buy contacts from a dealer that does no require a prescription. Don't mess around with your eyes!!

Welcome to the forum, and have fun!!!

I have to agree about the Scarecrow fangs. My son has them, and my niece just bought some. They look great. I bought some cheap off-brand fangs for $3.99 that were supposed to work like the Scarecrow fangs. Big mistake. The putty never did get hard, they didn't fit right, and they kept falling out. If you're going to buy them, use Scarecrow fangs. At $19.95 they cost a lot more, but you will be much more happy with them.
