To ask you to recommend a swimming cap

I bought a cheap silicon one and it gives a big vertical crease on my forehead. Like my face is being folded.
I've got quite a big head and thick hair.
Thanks all!

Oh god it's my dream to actually find one that keeps hair dry! I've got thick, very long hair and swim daily. It's such a pain in the arse.

Swim Secure bubble hats are the dogs. Super stretchy and fit on my very large head and lots of hair.

You want one of the swimming hats we had in the 80s - big, thick, off-white thing that looked like a piece of tripe, with big coloured flowers attached to it. I think they might even have had an optional chin strap.

Oops, am I showing my age?

Best I've found are by poqswim.
Think mine was via Ebay 3? Years ago

I have a retro flowery one with huge massive flowers although yet to be used in an actual pool. I think the only place I could get away with it is in one of the Budapest spa pools where caps are compulsory. However Decathlon seem to have a good range of normal ones OP

Thanks all. I will look in bobble hat ones.
I bet the retro flower ones didn't leave a crease in your forehead that takes two days to smooth out.
