I know swim caps are supposed to be tight on your head but this one is very tight! It leaves a horrible red mark across my forehead everytime I use it and it gives me a horrible headache. It serves its purpose, but it is a more than a little tight.

The swim cap was very durable and high quality, but it is REALLY tight. I don't have an abnormally large head, but this thing feels very constricting.

Hopefully it stretches a bit with more wear.

I will never buy a Latex cap again - extremely difficulty to put on because the cap rubs my hair off!

These are really not that difficult to put on, and if it is too tight you can fix it.

Tip: Get the swim cap wet and open it up. Put two fists inside of the swim cap and stretch out the cap a little. Don't do it too much, but just a few times.

Long haired girls: Pull your hair into a small tight bun. Take the swim cap and pull over the bun first then bring forward to the front of your head.

I was on the swim team and I am a lap swimmer, I have never had a problem with these. My hair always stays dry and as long as you know how to put a swim cap on you will be just fine.

Hair got wet after wearing swim cap. While the hair was not drenched, it still had to be washed since clorine got in. I read somewhere that you should wet your hair before you put the cap on. Kinda defeats the purpose of wearing a cap.

I like the fit of this swim cap as it is not overly tight on my big head and thick hair.

I bought this swim cap for myself, and like the one I bought for my daughter it sticks together when it dries so I have to peel it apart. It doesn't affect the quality of the swim cap, it still works fine.

It does the job; I haven't had it long enough to attest to its durability. Too bad the shipping cost more than the product.

I have very long hair, so putting this cap on was complicated. I found it easiest to soak my hair, wind it loosely around (but close to) my head, start from the front and pull it back. I then had to adjust the front a bit, and I always looked ridiculous, but I think the ribbing did help some. It was fine, I used powder, as suggested--but recently I noticed that there are some lines forming on the creases as though from stretching. It looks like it will rip eventually :/ This is highly disconcerting. I'm not really sure what to do. Luckily, I don't need it for the moment, but it makes me wonder about the quality. Did I get a dud?

This cap is impossible to put on! They could do a hidden camera show based on people trying to get this thing on and it would be hysterical. I have tried everything. I have long hair, but it is by no means insanely thick and everytime I loose a little more hair and dignity trying to get this over my head. Unless maybe you are bald (and even then you may find it hard to get on) I would suggest going for another type of cap/material.
