Re: pubic wigs
I don’t have any pictures, but, yes, I typically install a merkin on my dolls. I have several of different length, shapes, sizes and colors. I usually attach them with Aleen’s Tacky Glue. It’s far from permanent but does hold it for a bit of rough housing and dressing. I especially use them on any young looking dolls that I might have. Keeps them from looking TOO young.frankinstien wrote: ↑Thu Jan 18, 2024 9:47 pm Has anyone tried pubic wigs, they sell on amazon for $20, does anyone have some pics with the pube wigs?

Pubic wigs (or Merkins) can work well for TPE dolls.frankinstien wrote: ↑Thu Jan 18, 2024 9:47 pm Has anyone tried pubic wigs, they sell on amazon for $20, does anyone have some pics with the pube wigs?

Diluted white glue or "spirit gum" can be used to attach them for a while.
Here are some examples of pubic hair styles, from Merkins (the first two images) to hair punching (viewtopic.php?p=2277867#p2277867)
For a non-permanent bush that you can easily change, then a merkin is a good option.
Have fun in the bush.
Cheers!

A very good method.

Re: pubic wigs
Unless ya got a gift card from relatives. LOL. Don't get much cheaper than free. But you're right, aliexpress has all kinds of cool cheap stuff for dolls.MourningWood wrote: ↑Wed Feb 07, 2024 1:20 am Much cheaper to buy the exact same on aliexpress, but they only have black. They do work great! I usually have to tidy them up a bit with scissors

Re: pubic wigs
I used dissolved Tpe to press into the back ,allowed it to cure, then heat bonded it to her navel.
It was permanent.
I'd much rather recommend Mr Franz Elmer's glue trick .
Not only was it difficult to do ,but it was irreversible and I didn't do the best job ( my skill level wasn't as good as it is now)

Re: pubic wigs
Thanks. I should point out though, that technique only works on TPE. PVA glues doesn't hold well on silicone.
