Has anyone tried pubic wigs, they sell on amazon for $20, does anyone have some pics with the pube 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.

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

Pubic wigs (or Merkins) can work well for TPE dolls.
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.
I made a few like that and they worked well.

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.

thisnisnthe only picture I stillnhave of when i put one on Anastasia .
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)

Mr. Franz, great idea and pics showing how to DIY, thanks for posting!

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

Sounds good, my wm 166 is tpe so I can’t wait to get the materials and get to merkin making.

I use some hair punching needle, the result is perfect IMHO.
