Best method to full pantyhose encasement

[Vixien]

Well I got a bodysuit last week.
The only annoying thing so far is that I've not been able to zip it up once it's on.
The zip is pulled out in quite a wide Y at my shoulder blades and I can't get enough of a grip on the zip tab to pull it up.
I thought about a string leash but it's a 'hidden' zip style meaning it's quite a small pull tab with no hole.

Anybody have any ideas???

Thermoplastic tube as a "connector"  between pull tab and a leash ? But you have to be carefull when heating the tube. Maybe it's not god idea at all.
Btw, can you post a a bodysuite seller link ? I have same sizing problem, 185/90

Make a small wire hook, say, out of a piece of paper clip and attach it to a bootlace. You'll probably be able to fit it into the gap where the tab hinges with the slider and pull it up that way. Make sure the point of the hook is facing out from your body when you use it; the zip's likely to be quite stiff and then close suddenly and you don't want to hook yourself by accident!

Try an alligator clip on a cord.
Clip the alligator clip over that little tab and you should be able to zip it close.
You may have to wiggle a bit to work it close.
Use a strong clip, the thin ones will just slip off.

@ltxrob - can you post a photo of the zip slider?

I tried that JTR765.
I need to pull maybe 1/2cm above the zip puller each time. Without me in it .. It runs really well. 😟

Nothing special, but I like the photos in this eBay ad: shiny pantyhose or arms for men and women

I tried all the obvious things when I tried again this week.
But now it will never close 😟

Zip exploded at the bottom of the travel.
Why did they have to make it with these fragile 'invisible' zip!!!

My only options now are to cut out the teeth from the old zip and sew a new stronger zip in... Or give up!!

I wonder if this could be the answer to problems with zips?

    - eBay find for head and arm/hand encasement

All you need now is to add your favourite tights/pantyhose worn normally and you have encasement without the zips

Interesting... Not convinced by the 'one free size' option though.
