The wig situation honestly shouldn't be very bad with Yuyuko, as long as you've not got some ott anime hair design often all you'll need to do is give it a spray every now and then with certain wig care products and brush it straight. With short and simple hair like Yuyuko's that shouldn't be hard. Something to keep in mind as well is for most masks the wigs come attached. The exceptions are usually masks that have a lock or are on the smaller size like a lot of the doll masks.

Have to say, all this really resonates with me. Was in a very similar situation myself when first looking into actually getting my first kig. Similar situation with mother right next door, no lock, no soundproofing, very little space, waiting years for a chance to get into the hobby.

I personally just said fuck it and took the leap of faith and naturally things went wrong, family walked in and saw my mask on full display, they caught me washing hada and shapewear, my mask itself got damaged due to negligence on my part, I've struggled to take pictures and otherwise find things to do in kig due to the limited space, aspects of my mask were well under my expectations and I've never been happy with how my body looks in kig.

Despite all that, my family ultimately thought "weird but ok then", turned out putting on and wearing kig generally doesn't make much noise, I managed to DIY my mask back to a point where I could show it in public again, I've found work arounds for taking pictures and came to enjoy camming sessions, I've even gone to meetups now and they're a blast with the right people. Whilst I'm still struggling with dissatisfaction with how my mask and body look, it's still something that I'm deeply passionate about.

What I'm trying to get at with this really is don't give up but also be prepared for set backs and things not going to plan. As shown above often things wont end up as bad as you'd assumed and/or there will be solutions. Even things you can't change like bonestructure can often be either worked around or outright ignored with the right mindset and company. There's a lot of reasons so many kigs dress up so rarely these days and I feel being aware of such things before you spend all your money will leave you more mentally prepared for it. A lot of kigs charge into things incredibly passionate and vulnerable only to get hurt when things aren't perfect, myself very much included there.


Also >but I don't suppose many kig's want to be friends with someone who doesn't even have their own kig.
There's a lot of kigs out there, I consistently keep thinking I've seen pretty much every open community space and yet keep stumbling on new ones with new people. You seem like a pleasant and passionate individual, if you can chat to people like you've done here you'd probably easily find some friends in the community. Become a known face and there's a fair few people who will happily meet up and let you try kig, hopefully nearby. I'm pretty shit at talking as I'm sure everyone can see but even I had a few invites over the years before I got my kig. It's all about putting yourself out there and talking to people.
