We leave our inflator lines attached. It gives the warm water divemasters something to think about.

Wash undergarment on cold, gentle cycle. Hang to dry - either on a hanger or one of those folding drying racks. You'd be surprised how quickly they will air dry, depending on what you have. Is it fleece? How often you wash would depend on how often you're diving, what you're wearing underneath, etc. I'd at least hang it up for a day or two after diving to air it out. Leaving it in your bag can make it stinky and keep it damp.

good ideas also just wear a pair of underwear underneath or a swimsuit in case you want to disrobe if getting to hot on surface

I've generally worn a pair of UnderArmour leggings and a wicking workout long sleeve shirt underneath my one piece fleece undergarment. That way I didn't worry about having to change into different clothes when I'm out of my DS. I now have some Fourth Element Exotherm undies (separate top and bottom), so I'm still working that out. I don't wear a swimsuit under my DS because it's a hassle with regards to using the bathroom facilities (porta potties) at the quarries where I've been diving.

I only wash my undergarments when it's really necessary and then it's on the delicates cycle. Since I wear a wicking base layer they don't really need to be washed after every dive.

As for the drysuit inflator hose, I usually leave that connected and just wrap it around the tank neck.

do you tie it up then?

I've mostly seen people wrap them in a loose loop around the first stage, so it doesn't get in the way. Works well enough.

here is the undergarment any ideas of the make .no tags

No clue on the make, but is there as much extra material in the sleeves as there appears to me? I've read too big in the arms could create an issue with material getting in the way of your exhaust valve.
