How do you pronounce it?

šápočka

If you call a shower cap a ша́пка instead of a ша́почка, a Russian speaker might envision a thick wool hat being worn in the bathroom.
The diminutive form ша́почка is often used for objects that are not actually small, simply because it sounds more affectionate or domestic than the standard шапка.
The root word ша́пка is so central to Russian identity that the term 'hat' is used in various idioms to describe social rank and authority.

Мне нужна шапка для душа
I need a shower cap
Где моя синяя ша́почка?
Gde moya sinyaya shyapočka?
Where is my blue shower cap?
Эта ша́почка очень удобная.
Eta shyapočka ochen' udobnaya.
This shower cap is very comfortable.
