Putting on wet suit

[Sideband]

I have a 7 mil suit that fits about perfectly. It fits so well that it is a pain to get on and I am worn out after I get dressed sometimes. I have heard some say they use an aloe vera something or other to help lube up and make it easier. Any advice on a specific brand or product name? Anything that I should avoid (except the obvious like super-glue.... )

Thanks
Joe

50% water, 50% cheap hair conditioner (like Flex or something).

Old California diving trick.

I do about the same as Roakey, but I use 50% Baby shampoo and 50% water, generic brand. It rinses out easy, doesn't irritate anything, and it's as slick as snot on a doorknob.

I wear a skin to help mine slide on and off, but I've also seen people use plastic shopping bags. Stick foot in bag, run it thru the leg, retrieve bag and reuse on next extrimity. Seems to help a lot, if you don't want to wear a skin...

I use a plastic grocery bag like Don. It works really well for me, and I am always shocked at the number of people who watch me and say "Oh, wow, I never thought of that"!

Plastic grocery bag. Works like a charm every time.

Hmm.... The score so far is...
Hair care products: 2
grocery bag :3

I'm either going to get to the quarry and be clean, soft and managable, or look like the unknown comic.
I'm going tomorrow so I'm going to try both. I'll start with the bag idea and if that doesn't work out I'll put it over my head and try the conditioner.
I don't have problems so much with my legs as with the arms. I can turn the legs inside out far enough that I can inch them up, plus I have both hands to pull with. The arms are tricky though.
Thanks for the ideas.

Lay out a tarp and roll around on it in olive oil. Then. . . .

Oops. Sorry, wrong bulletin board. Shame on me.
