Does anyone have an opinion on which is better, Sporti silicone caps or Speedo silicone caps? The Sporti ones are cheaper, but do they last as long?
I've been using the Speedo caps. They seem to last forever, but they do get stretched out and then start to creep up my head when I'm swimming (especially coming off the wall), which is really annoying.
I'm also contemplating getting a youth cap instead of an adult cap, and wondering if other women with small-ish heads have tried this.
Together we can fight cap creep!
Oh, and happy Thanksgiving!

I got my daughter a red Kiefer Jr hat, then shortly afterwards an almost identical Sporti Jr one - because the Sporti one was pink!! (and cheap)
The Sporti one is a thinner material than the Kiefer (which I would expect to be of similar quality to Speedo), and slightly smaller. It worked great for a couple of months, but suddenly got to a point where it kept slipping off her head, I don't know if maybe her hair was getting longer and dragging it off, or it lost elasticity? Either way, its sitting in my laundry room unused right now, and the Kiefer one has been going strong for the past 7 or so months.
I have bought myself a Sporti Silicone one but not used it yet - it does feel a bit thinner than my current one (old team, so don't know the supplier), I guess time will tell, but for a $1.99 price tag, thought I'd not got much to lose!
As for sizing, the Jr Kiefer cap my daughter has is much smaller than her standard-size team cap. I won't buy her another Jr sized one as she's busy growing her thick wavy hair.
