Rochester wideband, skin prep, pull or off slowly. No need due a remover thingy
Ok doing that with Conveens but Rochesters get painful, especially if tearing them off the old chap several days in a row.

I’ve never regretted buying Apeel!

My max has been 3 days. On in the morning, off after dinner. Not pleasant for sure
 
I am going to throw a grenade in here, if you are using a neoprene drysuit you can get away with thinner undergarments, something that despite 5 pages of discussion no one has mentioned.

In the UK one of the most popular drysuits is still the O'three MSF500 and we know just a little bit about cold water and drysuit manufacture
Perhaps but for someone travelling from Canada to France and MX (or elsewhere) a neoprene suit is: 1) Bulky 2) heavy and 2) changing buoyancy. So they are almost always a poor choice.

Agree on the bulky comment, however disagree on the buoyancy change as this marginal in modern neoprene drysuits and even undersuits will compress and change buoyancy in tri-lams. A couple of articles below discuss it and it looks like we have major cultural differences between UK and USA divers


 
@noserider I have nothing against neoprene suits, it just for trilam there is seaskin that makes them made-to-measure for a great price (i know their seams are a little poo poo, but that's easily fixable). Coupled with the fact that I will be travelling a lot, and a trilam suit looks like a no brainer

Seaskin would be on list as well, I am just always surprised no one mentions neoprene yet they are very popular over here and despite lots of naysayers have stood the test of time
 
Back to Bard/Rochesters rather than the Conveens for a few dives. Conveens may be more convenient, but Bard/Rochesters well and truly stick in place. Praise be for Apeel medical adhesive remover.
Just use a Foley catheter and quit worrying about it.

That's a whole lot of nope right there.
