Description
This inflatable frog costume is a fan-inflated green frog suit for adults 150cm to 190cm tall, for $81.38. A small battery fan inflates it in about a minute and keeps it inflated while you wear it - it needs 4 AA batteries, which are not included, so buy them with the costume.
Inflatable costumes solve the problem every other adult costume has, which is that they depend on the wearer to carry the look. A frog suit that is four times the size of a person does the work on its own - it is funny from across a room, it photographs instantly, and it needs no makeup, no styling and no confidence to pull off. The other thing buyers do not expect is how light they are: the whole costume is air and thin polyester, so despite the size it is one of the least tiring costumes to wear all evening.

Why an Inflatable Costume Works at a Party
-
It does the work for you - no styling, no makeup, no acting required to get a reaction.
-
Lighter than it looks - it is air and thin fabric, so it is easy to wear for hours.
-
Instantly recognisable - reads from across a room and in every photograph.
-
Inflates in about a minute - and deflates to fold into a small bag afterwards.
-
Fits a wide height range - 150cm to 190cm covers most adults without fiddly sizing.
How Long Do the Batteries Last in an Inflatable Costume?
The fan runs continuously while the costume is inflated, so battery life decides how long you can wear it. Good-quality alkaline AAs will typically keep a costume like this up for several hours; cheap zinc batteries can fade within an hour, and the costume sags as the fan slows. Two practical tips from people who wear these: carry a spare set of four in a pocket, and switch the fan off whenever you sit down for a while, because the costume deflates slowly rather than instantly and reinflates quickly when you switch back on. Rechargeable AAs work well if you will wear it more than once.
What Size Is an Inflatable Costume Really?
It is one size, cut for adults between 150cm and 190cm. Two cautions worth reading before you buy. First, the supplier notes that the sizing is Asian sizing, around one to two sizes smaller than European, which in practice means taller or broader adults at the top of the range may find the leg and arm openings snug. Second, inflatable costumes restrict how you move and what you can see around you: you will be wider than doorways expect, you cannot see your own feet, and stairs need care. Most people find it is fine once they have walked around the house in it for five minutes first.
How Do You Store an Inflatable Costume So It Lasts?
Deflate it fully, let it air if it is damp from being worn, and fold it loosely rather than tightly. The weak points on every inflatable costume are the seams and the fan mount, and both are damaged by being crushed under something heavy or folded sharply along the same line every year. Take the batteries out before storing - a leaking battery in the battery box is the most common reason these fail to work the following October. Keep it out of direct sun, which degrades the thin fabric over time.
Buyers are typically adults heading to a Halloween party or a themed event who want something that gets a laugh without effort, groups buying several inflatables for a coordinated entrance, and people dressing up for fun runs, bucks and hens nights, and end-of-year functions. It also gets bought for mascots at school fetes and community events.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are batteries included?
No. It needs 4 x AA batteries, which you will need to buy separately.
What height does it fit?
Adults from 150cm to 190cm. It is one size, and the supplier notes it runs one to two sizes smaller than European sizing.
How long does it take to inflate?
About a minute once the fan is switched on.
Can I sit down in it?
Yes, though it is bulky. Switching the fan off while seated saves battery; it reinflates quickly when you switch back on.
Is it suitable for children?
No - it is cut for adults 150cm and taller.
Can it be washed?
Spot clean or gently hand wash at low temperature. Do not bleach, do not machine wash, and remove the fan and batteries first.
Can I wear it outdoors?
Yes, but wind catches inflatable costumes easily and rain can damage the fan. It is best suited to indoor events or calm, dry weather.
