No need for clothing. Just rub a bunch of either baby oil or vegetable oil all over yourself before you put it on so that it will be easy to get in/out of. Get a shoe horn if it still tough to get on after that.

| lukeeee, A wetsuit should be somewhat difficult to get on. Once it's on, as long as you can breathe and move fairly comfortably you've got a right fit. The better a wetsuit fits to your body, the better it will work. A loose wetsuit won't keep you warm. |

I always wear some tight fitting boxer briefs under mine so its not so offensive to take it on and off on the water.

to help get it over your feet, wear socks, get the thing on and take the socks off.
DO NOT use baby oil or cooking oil, it will ruin that $300 suit. if anything try a talc powder, like baby powder in moderation. Oil is non water soluable.

I was joking. The shoe horn part probably should've given that away.

| Speedo is the only thing I will wear, other than a rash-shirt. |
