Go to Wigs.com and look at Headline It and Beautimark or https://www.wilshirewigs.com/accessories/wig-caps.html (comfy grip, etc.) - the liner/grip items may help.  

Also depends on what type of cap you're wearing (cotton or nylon) and why (comfort or to keep existing hair smooth and in control under the wig).  I used to wear cotton, for comfort, and it would scrunch up.  Ultimately, I found that I didn't need it; I got used to the cap of the wig against my bald skin.  

If you're wearing nylon for existing hair control, it may be a matter of getting a stronger cap.  The caps and liners pages on Wigs.com and WilshireWigs show some different nylon caps - you may just need to experiment to find the right one for you.  There are other sites with other similar products - you can even try Amazon.com.  

You may also need to take a moment a couple of times during the day to adjust the wig cap - go to a bathroom stall, whip your wig off, adjust the cap, put the wig back on.  It's the wig equivalent of going to the bathroom to put powder on your nose. ;)

I still have hair although THIN and I don't want anything that will harm what hair I have.  I have tiny hairs growing in SLOWLY.  I have a fishnet type.  I'm not sure what it's made out of.  DOn't think it's cotton.  It's very stretchy.  I got it from my local wig shop.

You might need to experiment with different types of caps -- this particular one might just be a little too loose of you.  Does your local wig shop have anyone there who repairs wigs?  If yes, that person may able to revise the wig cap a little so that it fits you better -- or even go out, get some fishnet material and sew you one that's particular to your head.  Same goes for a tailor.

Try the wig caps from Sally's. They are 2 in a package for $1.19. My daughter uses double sided tape from Hair Direct, SUPERTAPE. She places the tape on the ear tabs and the front Poly strip. She then places her cap on her head and the puts on wig with the front of the wig folded back. Once she gets it into place she flips the wig front forward and press it down on the ear tabs and the front area. So part of the tape is on the cap and a small amount on the skin.

Unrelated, but sort of unrelated: Sally's is AWESOME!!  I went to one for the first time a couple of months ago and was in beauty supply heaven.
