So my wig is a couple years old, but I take good care of her. She's stretched out in the back over time, and I keep her anchored on my head with bobby pins. A few mornings ago, I didn't bother to fasten the pins before I went downstairs for breakfast. As my bagel was toasting, or whatever the hell I was having, I was doing some basic exercises. And I was doing forward/back bends. And well, as I bent backwards, my wig fell off! AAAAH!

The only one who saw it was my bird. He's a very smart bird, and he gave me the weirdest, most puzzled look, as though to say, "Wait! What the hell just happened?! I thought that was part of you!" 

I'm not sure about the construction of your wig, but some like mine can be tightened to help it be more snug. Secondly there are videos on youtube with tricks that you do to help your wig stay put. I'm sure others have more ideas beyond these. Hugs

Wig tape

Well at least the wig slip wasn't in a public location

I want to figure out a wig of a sort for myself, since my situation with the military requires me to cut it way too short to have any femininity about it. This five month gap of not needing to do anything with the military has me letting my hair grow out as much as possible and is starting to take on a slight feminine appearance as per shorter hair, though training is coming up soon, and past that I will be regularly be going back each month so my hair will ave to revert to not being able to grow.

Also my mom does not agree with me getting a wig at all. I've tried to reason with her about it, saying things as "you wouldn't want your daughter to have no hair, would you?" But she still has her foot down about it. As long as I live in her house I won't be able to do such, as well with the military I shall remain  just about hairless on the top of my head.
Once I move out when I do, for university then I'll be able to much more be able to get what I need to help myself out!

Oh, I keep it anchored nice and good with the bobby pins. I just hadn't done it at that point when I walked downstairs. Lazy, yanno? My wig has the elastic stretchy dillies on the sides that adjust the snugness of the wig. However, mine is old enough that they now have to stretch all the way to the other side and cris-cross each other.

Wig tape

^^ this

One night at school I accidentally fell down some stairs and my wig thankfully stayed in place due to the wig tape.

If your wig is that stretched out - maybe it's time to buy a new one?

I'm in the process of that. I was very poor for a long time, but now I have a good job. Right now I'm trying to find a lace front that's a similar style and color to the one I have. Why don't they make wigs that are both monofilament AND lace front? Why do I have to choose?

It's pretty easy to replace the stretched out elastic with plain ole elastic off the shelf at Walmart. So easy, even I managed it. It might not look pretty but works.

Talking about wig slip , reminds me of two incidents that I have had. The first occurred twenty five off years ago in  Exeter in Devon when I transitioned the first time. I was crossing the street ion a pelican crossing, nicely made up  in a dress and looking radiant when a huge gust of wind lifted my wig off my head and blew it into the pavement  (luckily in front of me). Two rather unpleasant young men, leant out of their car windows and honked their horns shouting at me you dirty pervert. Luckily an old lady picked up my wig and handed it to me saying don't worry dear it happens to the best of us!. I was so glad to reach the inside of the beauticians that day.

But a worse fate fell on me two years ago. I was in Central Melbourne visiting my doctor and  I got mixed up after the appt, I walked out looked across the road and thought my car had been towed (in a free lane (actually I had walked out of the surgery at the wrong entrance. I initially panicked thinking that I would have to retrieve my car from the police parking lot, got all hyper ventilated, then hailed a cab to take me over to the parking lot and got into the cab. The cab did a U Turn and headed off to the Police Pond. As we did so we passed my Car. So I shouted to the driver ..Stop!!. I explained what I had done and stepped out of the car and shut the door behind me.  Unfortunately I was wearing  a rather pretty mini skirt which somehow got caught in the door as the car drove away it dropped to the ground, leaving me in the middle of High Street in high heels, stockings and suspenders and  not much else. Luckily a  tram went past right them, i leaned down hurriedly grabbed my skirt and pulled it up scurrying across to the car which I jumped into. Then looked back. No one seemed to be looking at me. I then drive about 1 km  down the road and it took me about 30 minutes to calm down!!
