    What else can I try? I have to be at work Monday so I definitely need to get the suit off before then.

    who the f told you to grease up? I would expect that your wetsuit will be inside out by the time you get out of it. I usually use a door knob or a fat hook (or a fat hooker) to get the shoulders past my elbow then it comes off easy.

    sit in the dryer. delicate cycle, moderate heat. the warmth will allow the suit to expand.

    lol
    pretty sure a wetsuit shrinks as it dries

    anyway, as long as you've got your correct size, the suit will get looser the more you wear it. Later, you may be glad you got a tighter suit than one that's initially looser. In the meantime, get someone to help you peel it off

    I had an item from a dive shop that resembled a dance skin. They use it in Australia to protect from box jellys. my wet suit would slide on an off effortlessly. The bad thing was the heat transfer when trying to get it off.

    Just leave it on. I've been wearing my hyperflex 5/4 for the past 3 years. Never took it off, not even to poop.

    Speaking of which, you guys ever poop your suit?
