What kinda of Conditioner

What kinda of conditioner does everyone use to lube there open cell suits with that Doesn't damage the Glued seams or the suit material? I thought about just using an organic conditioner from health food store that doesn't have a lot of additives in it. what do you guys think?

Re: What kinda of Conditioner

A little bit of wetsuit shampoo mixed with water is a great lube. The stuff's made for wetsuits, so that's a positive. It works really well. You just mix it into a spray bottle and thoroughly spray the suit, then slide right in. Easy as pie. .

Re: What kinda of Conditioner

Indeed. I'm not sure about the percentage, but a good squirt of that into a spray bottle plus some water should do the trick. I just used such a potion with my Omer Mimetic (skin-in lining) which is very easy to tear, and I just slipped right in with no problems.

Re: What kinda of Conditioner

Try using Sorbelene,
its the base of most moisturises .

Dosent smell, wont rot anything, mixes well with water and goes very slippery,
Keeps your skin soft, and costs about 10.00 for a litre.
Just rub some onto the inside of you suit and flush it with water,
Works Great

After trying a lot of different shampoos and conditioners I came back to taking the most simple and cheap shampoo I can get, preferably not "skin-pH-neutral", without all that milk-and-honey-stuff they are currently having (didn't dare to try that one with my open cell), preferably smelling nice . I don't like using conditioner.

Re: What kinda of Conditioner

I prefer a conditioner that mixes well with a urine smell.

Coconut is awful but Aloe seems to work well.

Mix in a little water and lots of conditioner ,and slopp pop! Your in.

Just like putting on a used condom.

Re: What kinda of Conditioner

This stuff is scent free and works well for me.

Re: What kinda of Conditioner

That looks interesting.

I use a grapefruit scented organic conditioner - don't remember off hand what it's called - it dilutes pretty well and the smell is not overpowering.

Bill's looks like it might be even better.

Re: What kinda of Conditioner

The guy who first told me about Unicure said that he and his two friends ordered a case, and their wives started using it for skin and hair so often that they had to order more.

Another dive buddy who has a very large dog with a skin problem orders it by the gallon and says it works great.

I haven't heard any testimonials yet for curing cancer or heart disease, but you never know.
