Has anyone ever tried wetsuit dressing aids such as Octacle or Slippy?

My new 5/4/3 winter wetsuit from Dakine is great, but although I can use the plastic bag trick to help get my lower arms and legs in, the thighs, torso and shoulders tend to bind and it's difficult to paddle.

I end up wasting energy fighting the resistance of the suit, no matter how I try to pull it about and get it to sit right.

I've tried messaging Dakine, but got no help there, I just don't want to use anything that could mess it up.

Any suggestions or advice would be welcome.
