FAQs

Latex caps stretch tightly and cost less, while silicone caps last longer and feel gentler on hair. Pick latex for short sessions and silicone for frequent training.

Most caps cover the ears but do not form a watertight seal. Earplugs or molded caps are better if ear protection is the main goal.

Long hair can be tucked into larger or extra-stretch caps. Silicone models stretch more than latex, making them suitable for ponytails or braids.

Rinse with cool water after each use, pat dry, and dust with cornstarch. Store flat or rolled in a mesh bag away from heat and sunlight.

Most public pools require caps for hygiene. Always check the venue’s rules before your visit, especially for competitions or lap-swim sessions.
