There are thousands of Discussions and Blogs and Videos on wigs here. Go to those places, look at titles, and you will see MANY opinions!

I buy cheaper synthetic wigs (usually Raquel Welch), and just adjust the elastic. Feels okay to me. I wear a scarf or cap to bed in winter, not summer. No high winds or swimming...scarves or hats for those. I think you will find different answers from different people...and you will add your own combination to this mix. Good luck! WE DO WHAT WE MUST DO. You can't have a true feeling about something if you never do it.

Hi, I've always worn real hair wigs and although they are expensive to buy they are really worth it. I have owned synthetic ones but I only really wear them if I fancy a style change as I find the elastic and mesh bases to be irritating on my skin (however they are a lot airier if you are in a hot country!) and I don't have to wear a cap or anything underneath it.

The wigs I wear on a daily basis are 100% comfortable and I've never had any problems with them at all. I find them totally secure and I do wear 3 small bits of tape on them, sometimes on a very windy day by the sea or the top of a hill I get a bit worried but it has never come off! They are so comfortable that I wear mine almost every waking hour of the day :)

I have slept in a wig (as I did find staying at a new partners house without one a scary thought!) but I wouldn't recommend it as the hair gets very knotted and the wig looses LOADS of lifetime in wearability. But YES you can be intimate wearing your new wig :)

I hope this helps, if you want to know anything else just drop me a message xx

Hi, (neverthoughtidenuphere) I just sent a friend request to you. I am older but have had difficulty in accepting a wig. I have some very nice ones and they look nice; I am having difficulty adjusting emotionally, if that makes sense to you. I would like to discuss this further and compare notes. I order from Paula Young catalog. I find them reasonable. I have not yet bought a human hair wig. Good luck with your decisions and hope to hear from you soon.

Hi, I am a wigaholic so I hope that I can help you. The more that you wear a wig, the more that you get used to it. At first, for me, it was itchy. Now, I shave my head so because of that, I do not wear a cap or anything. Back when I had hair, I wore a mesh wig cap. When you have a bald head, I feel like the wig stays on well. I've walked in very high winds, and the wig hasn't ever come off. I wear a wig to work, but by the time I get home, I am ready to take the wig off so that is usually about 11 hours. I don't sleep in a wig because I don't like it when they tangle. There are wigs that you can wear with tape or adhesive so you might look into that if you are concerned with it being secure. I would suggest that you join wigsupport.com. We have covered all of those topics on that site, probably many times. You can do a search for "swim", and see all the past posts about it.
Good luck!

Great advice Alliegator. Thanks for sharing that. I am discovering the world of wigs also.
