The harder it is to get in and especially out of my wetsuit. Any ideas...no matter how crazy!

One word: drysuit

Might try a skin under the suit

Get a larger wet suit, they shrink some as you get older I had to. Then I gave my old one to my son and same thing happened to him, it kept shrinking

Wetwear - Atlantis EZ-On Suits

They make them with zippers that go from armpit to wrist, crotch to ankle.

We're in or out in 20 seconds.

Why would one want to get out of a wetsuit? I wear them all day... even dance in one at the Casino Dock Cafe when the live music is playing.

Mine always seem to shrink too, but they've always been a lot easier to take off than to put on.

My husband uses a dilute solution of hair conditioner in a squirt bottle to lubricate the legs and sleeves for getting the wetsuit on. I can manage to get my arms off, but it's awfully nice to have a buddy help with the legs. The angle you have to pull at is awkward and really hard on arthritic hands.

The answer may depend on what you are using now. If it's standard neoprene, you might consider switching to something like the Henderson Hyperstretch. Not as easy to get on as the suit suggested by Doc, but almost certainly easier a regular neoprene suit. There is also the plastic bag assistance method. A small plastic trash bag placed over your foot and up to your calf or so makes a gigantic different in terms of easing your leg into the suit.

Doctor, doctor.. you really must get out more often!
Pretty funny, though!!

I like the hair conditioner idea. I bet that will work well for getting in and out of DS seals too.
