Help! I'm stuck in a jumpsuit

Literally this. The zip has jammed and I can't get out of it. I'm home alone with the kids and totally stuck. It's at the back too and i've nearly dislocated my arms.
Ive tried vaseline to lubricate but to no avail. Any ideas?

I had to cut myself out of a sports bra once.

Was having trouble manovering it over my head so decided to step in it and pull it up.

Then couldn't get it off either way...

Can you unpick a seam? Then sew it back up?

ValleyClouds · 09/05/2018 23:02

Oh OP are you friendly with any neighbour - do you speak to any of them were you'd be alright knocking on? Though it's a bit late

A friend, DM, sis or sil that would drive over?

SpornStar · 09/05/2018 23:02

Cut a hole in the crotch so you can pee and just wear it forever?

NewYearNewMe18 · 09/05/2018 23:03

Get a child to unzip it?
Get a neighbour ?
Sleep in it?

I really don't know what to suggest

BestZebbie · 09/05/2018 23:03

Wake up your eldest child? Or try a coat hanger in the zip pull?

Lucked · 09/05/2018 23:04

Sorry but 😂😂😂.

Try soap on the zip. Run it up and down the zip. Try easing the zip back up gently, some of the fabric might be stuck in it, you might be able to pull out out.

Failing that, knock on a neighbours door?

Mistoffelees · 09/05/2018 23:04

If my neighbour came round with this problem I'd help them, maybe suck up the embarrassment and knock on NDN front door?

Ask one of the kids if they’re not asleep? Or just go to bed, worry about it in the morning!! Wine

TimeForMy10thCuppa · 09/05/2018 23:05

Try rubbing a candle on the zip. Unlit, obviously.

SprinkleOfInsanity · 09/05/2018 23:05

Can you hook a coat hanger in the zip and pull it down that way?

MrsDylanBlue · 09/05/2018 23:05

Sorry but I am crying laughing here 😂😂😂

pinkdelight · 09/05/2018 23:06

My DH says order a deliveroo and get the driver to unzip it. But that is a bit like the opening to a millennial porn movie..:

mummyrabbitpeppapig · 09/05/2018 23:06

Would a coathanger help? It might help you reach the zip and wiggle it about a bit till you can manipulate it?

Gumps · 09/05/2018 23:06

Oh my god, I'm pacing around doing the laughing/crying thing. If it wasn't past 11 I would go to my neighbour. My husband is at a sports dinner so is coming home but I'm worried I would either have wet myself by then or he will be too drunk to help.
Off to try soap...

Doesn't everyone wake up desperate for the loo? Conditioning in my case

fluffiphlox · 09/05/2018 23:08

I got stuck in a coat in TK Maxx. I had to get an assistant to help me. I think you could look to see who has their downstairs lights on.

Battleax · 09/05/2018 23:09

How old are the D.C.? If they’re over three, I think I’d quickly wake one up and ask them to help unzip mummy Grin

Eek, stealth you make an excellent point- this definitely has to be dealt with now!
