Not that I've asked wetsuit questions but I have enough silly questions about everything.

I got my wetsuit. It fits! I felt like a sausage Cat Woman. I know I have to be very careful about fingernails and stretching it and pinching it. Are there any tricks to get it on? It came off FAR easier. I was trying to inch it up my legs like nylons but I was scared to hurt it. Would talc on my legs help?

Any tricks at all would be so appreciated. It was very comfy once it was on - while it was tight, it felt more comforting than not. I go see my OW swim coach on monday so hopefully I can figure out how to get it on gracefully - I really don't see him helping me squeeze it up my legs...DH did it but, um, that's his job.

Lastly because this will be my first tri (hence the questions), are people allowed to the start to help people do things like put on wetsuits?

thank you...all the advice I've received here is more valuable than anything I've read in a book.
