I am wearing my L.K.S. without feet today as underwear to keep me warm. I am around 170 pounds and about 69" tall and ordered the size 18. I found the arms and legs a bit too long but the body feels right. I am wearing an ABU Space diaper with the Kins terry lined poly pants over them (I don't trust disposables for leaking). Over this I put on a turtle-neck knit shirt and bib overalls to sort of hide what I am wearing. Wearing the L.K.S. seems to have a regressing affect on me which gives me no desire to think about removing or touching my diaper. Maybe it is because of the "out of sight, out of mind" thinking.
I am still a little unsure of sizing. I have two pair of the footie sleepers that are much too long in the legs. I was thinking about trying a size 16 the next time I ordered. In the no footie size I would maybe go 18 again but wonder what the 16 would fit like.
As far as dressing myself I found a string or long fishing leader solved the zipper problem. Arthritis does not allow the joints to move like they used to but I can still dress and undress myself including using the snaps.
1. I do find I have to do up the first snap at top.
2. Attach the pulling device (string or leader).
3. Zip it up as far as I can reach from the bottom.
4. Pass the pulling device to a hand over the shoulder, which even arm works the best that day.
5. while holding the lower end of the zipper with one hand, pull up the pulling device with the other. It may catch or jam, do not pull hard, move a bit to let the fabric slide and move into place.
6. Once up, remove pulling device, unsnap top snap, pull zipper to top, snap keeper into place, and then snap cover into place.
To remove:
1. Unsnap cover and keeper.
2. Attach pulling device.
3. Drop pulling device down to hand behind back.
4. Pull zipper down gently.

If you are lucky enough to have someone to help you, ask them to unzip you.:smile:
I also have two Baby Pants footed sleepers and absolutely love them. I wear them to bed every night during the cold months, and if my wife locks me in and takes the key I am unable to get out of this as well. Really a helpless feeling, which is pretty cool.
I agree with this also. Since I am alone, putting the key away while wearing them does give my a similar feeling.
