[Paddlewise] for women only

My husband and I would like to start kayaking in the winter, and we're
looking into getting a couple of drysuits; they will most likely be the
gortex variety.  My question is, are there any opinions on the relief
zippers on women's suits?  Will I end up mooning the world, or do some of
them offer more privacy than the picture in the catalog suggests?  Would
you recommend a "lady-J" (cup w/hose attachment) to go with it?  Any
opinions on the undergarments, and getting those pesky panties out of the
way, and then back to a comfortable position to continue the expedition?
Some of the long-johns with split-crotches look useable and warm, but what
do you think?

I have a copy of _How_to_$#!t_in_the_Woods," and it's great for basic
camping, but I'd just like to hear from women who have tried some of the
suits and fleece on the market.  

Thanks!
Julie
