Did you know that if you wear panty hose you can slip in or out of a wet / dry suit easier? learned this from female dive buddy.

Thanks...I'll stick with the talc and KY, though!

Is there something you want to reveal to us :surprised
fmw625:
of course when my brother was in boot camp their D.I. told them all that panty hose would help prevent blisters if they wore them under their socks - the local drug store was bought out that afternoon by his whole barracks.
He found it quite funny watching - but says they did work - lol.

My dad told me about the westuit and pantyhose trick. I told it to my dive buddies....I still haven't stopped getting crap for that one. No matter how well it works, I doubt I'll ever try it!

All I'm saying is, is that it does work.

Hey all, thanks for the replies! As far as KY, look at question #2 in the original post. I know there are a lot of people using KY...for their suits...but no one has mentioned anything from the manufacturers.
It sounds like all are using either talc, or KY, regardless of seal material?
Once again, thanks for the replies!

www.napaonline.com. Use search for Napa part number. Enter "7651339" for Balkamp Tire Talc. A sixteen ounce can is just $5.99.
I pour some into a picnic salt shaker (plastic with snap shut lid) and throw the shaker into my parts kit or dive bag. Open the salt shaker, shove inside the wrist cuff, shake a bit inside, mix around to make sure that it gets everywhere you want, carefully take out the shaker, cap the shaker, take the cuff over to anyplace you would not mind spilling a bit of talc (over the side of the boat) and dump any excess.
I have been using the same can for about a year and a half, averaging at least two dive outings per month. I still have about a quarter of a can left (and I have lost a couple of the salt shakers full of talc over the course of that time).
