I'm a fairly new skydiver... can anyone tell me the difference between an F111 and Zero P chute - including any differences in landing them?

I am 5ft 9 220 lbs and have been having problems with getting bruises on the inside of my legs from the buckles or straps on the student rig. Has anyone else experienced the same problems or does anyone have any suggestions what is causing this or how to avoid it? No one seems to think it's a big deal but the bruises are dark purple and black and are very painful. Help!
