Funny & Inflatable Costumes FAQ
How do inflatable costumes work?
A small battery-powered fan (4× AA batteries, included) inflates the costume in about 30 seconds. The fan runs continuously while worn — typically 4–6 hours per battery set. The fan is quiet enough for indoor events.
What size are inflatable costumes?
Most inflatable and novelty costumes are one-size-fits-most adult (fits 150–190 cm height, generous through AU 16-18). Kids inflatables fit ages 4–12. For dedicated plus-size cuts in standard (non-inflatable) costumes, see our Plus Size Womens and Plus Size Mens categories (AU 16-20 / up to 4XL mens).
Are funny costumes suitable for Book Week?
Yes — Inflatable T-Rex / Jurassic World (Dinosaurs Love Underpants), Adult Inflatable Dinosaur Riding Costume, Bananas Funny Costume B1 OR B2 (Bananas in Pyjamas), Kids David Walliams Ratburger, Inflatable Sumo and Kids Inflatable Rooster are all popular Book Week picks.
What's the difference between inflatable and ride-on costumes?
Inflatable costumes use a battery fan to puff up the outfit, creating an oversized silhouette (e.g. T-Rex). Ride-on costumes use a fake legs/torso illusion to look like you're being carried by an animal or character (unicorn, dinosaur, alien). Both ship from Melbourne.
Can I wear an inflatable costume all night?
Yes — bring spare AA batteries if your event is over 4 hours. Each set runs 4–6 hours. The inflatable suits are easier to walk in than they look. For seated events, switch the fan off to save battery.
How fast can I get a funny costume delivered?
Same-day Melbourne dispatch on orders placed before 2pm AEDT business days. From there it's Australia Post Express to most metro areas — delivery times depend on Australia Post and aren't guaranteed.
