How to put on a skinsuit?
First, please remember some basic rules. A suit is not seamless, and the thread is not stretchy. Thus, never pull the fabric along seams! You can rather easily tear a seam, despite the stitch is rather stretchy and quite strong. The same applies to the zipper, which is not stretchy at all - so the ends of it are mostly loaded places - be careful!

Now the instruction itself.
The "lower part" of the suit is just the same as regular tights. First, roll up a leg of the suit (say, the left one) just like a regular stocking. Then pull it onto your leg, distrubuting the fabric as it stretches, with no wrinkles or rolls. Track the side seam, it has to be in the inner middle of the leg. Repeat the same with your right leg. Pull the suit up your chest, leaving mask and sleeves outside.

Roll up the left sleeve and insert your hand into the glove. Fix the fingers inside, and pull the sleeve up to the shoulder. Make sure that it did not wrinkle anywhere, and the shoulder seam is near your shoulder joint. Then pull the left side of the back zipper close to your neck, so the shoulder is completely inside. Repeat the same with your right arm. Now only the mask left.

Take the mask with both hands, and pull it onto your head, making a "sitting down into the suit" movement so the zipper goes up a bit. You are completely in. Ask the helper to zip you up, if you cannot reach the lock. Or use a bootstrap attached to the lock using a loose knot, so you can take it off and attach it back later. Please do not apply force to zipper!!! It has very small teeth and can be broken if you do, although it can serve you for years if used properly. If the lock appears stuck, ask the helper to check side bands - it won't go if they are turned inside out or join with wide angle. Try to straighten it up before closing or opening! It's so easy after short practice! :)

The process of taking a suit off is even more simple - just unzip it and take the mask off. The rest of the suit should be simply turned inside out off your body, like pantyhose. Then reverse it again. Voila!
