Waff - it happens on all my caps, both silicone and latex. My latest is my Pirate one and that was good for a session or two, now it's just like all the others. Hence why I am wondering if I have an odd-shaped head.
I don't use any products on my hair (low-maintenance girl, me) but I have considered wetting hair and cap to see if that helps.
Pkim - I would rather do a Sinaed O'Connor than have the night shift glue and nail the cap in place, thank you very much
Schumkee- I occasionally get the conehead look. I also find the caps a bit big as I am a teenage pinhead. But I use a speedo pace cap which is made from a fabric with plasticky outside which grips better and doesn't pinch like the latex/silicone ones (available from Wiggle about £7) when wearing the pirate one at OW I put a little fold in the back inbetween the upper and lower strap of my goggles which takes care of the conehead look. Maybe this would help yours to stay on?
Schmunkee - morning shift here at the ready!! have you tried a light dusting of talc powder - seems to work for me (try the tea tree anus one - its quite fine)
You may think it's funny Meldy, but I have suffered for two years with my swim cap working it's way off. Little did I know that a gent from across the pond could solve all my woes on only his second post. And he must be a really helpful chap as his first post was solving my decorating troubles.
I really think I ought to thank him for being so kind. Do you think he has ever tried that English delicacy known as spam. I may send him some
Neoprene hat with a chin strap. Warm, comfy and if you have to put one of those stupid rubber hats on over the top, it stays in place. Got mine from Tri-UK yonks ago. Brilliant.

Shave your hair off - simples!
Seriously though - when I start to get swim hat troubles, that's my signal to get my hair cut.
