Swim caps are inexpensive open bags of latex, for keeping the hair dry when swimming but sometimes also usable as accessories in fetish dressing. They are available in colors ranging from black to vibrant tones but often with logos printed on them. There are also pricier versions with decorations, but these are mostly styled for the elderly.

Care

They dry off quickly but should be washed and allowed to dry completely before storing - bodily substances from hair are mostly oil based and will not only stink after moist storage, but also rot the material.

Rubber

They are produced by the millions and cheap, but material qualities vary and with that the smell.

Silicone

These cost about three times as much as latex swim caps. They are claimed to be more stretchable and durable, and are available in translucent colours.

Use in bondage

If bondage tape is added to a swim cap, it will make an effective bondage hood. Sarah Foster Tate was a prominent Australian bondage and fetish model for Harmony Concepts in the 1970s and 1980s. She was most notable for her appearances dressed in lingerie and rubberwear, including bathing caps.

Use in breathplay

  • Cons: Unless you are blessed with a small head, a swim cap stretched over the face might quickly start to compress the skin uncomfortably under the chin. Also, it might not stay in place unless you first have another swim cap over the hair to increase the friction to sufficient levels.
  • Pros: It is easy to cut a round hole of appropriate size in the optimal spot for a continuous but limited fresh air exchange. A suitable volume of air fits in the loose hanging part of the swim cap, at least for those new to the art.
