put vaseline on them before donning the mask - stops the zip and the pvc from chafing your lips...

that's all dependant on the quality of the suit. if indeed it is a PVC gimp suit then vaseline will be fine but a genuine rubber gimp suit should not be lubricated with vaseline, or indeed any petrolium based lubricant as the petrol content will rot the rubber sure as eggs are eggs.

that's why you should never lubricate "o" rings and seals with vaseline, they should always be lubricated with the medium that they will be sealing

Absolutely spot-on. Most natural rubbers will be attacked by any petrochemical-based product. Best thing for rubber or latex is a silicon based oil/grease or water based lubricant such as K-Y jelly (depending on the application).

Talcum powder (the cosmetic/baby type) is also bad for latex as it contains compounds that can attack the rubber and/or support bacteria/yeast growth. You should use French chalk instead.
