I have been using Suit Juice to help get into my wetsuit, but it does not seem to be available anymore. Does anyone know what happened to it?
 
Can't help with the Suit Juice question....but you might consider trying a simple lycra rash guard. Makes it pretty darn easy to slip into a wetsuit.

 
I don’t, but cheap conditioner is what is used when helping the disabled and paraplegic divers into their suits
 
In the old "skin in" days we used diluted baby shampoo
 
I have used water-based "personal lubricant", it's cheap and works great, and maybe you happen to have some already. But, I did find that walking around a parking lot with half a gallon of lube invited some weird looks from strangers, so I decide to give the MAKO "suit slide" product a shot. It's also cheap, also works great, comes with a little spritzer top, and doesn't seem to bother the strangers as much :) . Dilute it 50-50 with plain water.

Diluted soap or shampoo works OK but will irritate your skin, and pollutes the water. No-tear shampoo is better, but more expensive and the smell is unpleasant. I see a lot of people using diluted hair conditioner, seems to work well, but it's also more expensive and usually scented. I prefer the cheap, unscented lube. Some people like the scented stuff better, YMMV.

My wife and I use these skins, and they’re great. They also are handy if we’re just snorkeling, because we use a lot less sunscreen.
