Nurse Re: Mormon Undergarment
Jen -
There is a top and bottom for both males and females. Our garments are a constant reminder of the promises made with the Lord in the temple to live righteously and strive to follow His example, as well as a symbol of our modesty in dress. There is nothing secret about our garments, but we do consider them very sacred, and thus don't really write/talk about them in detail.

Thank you so very much on behalf of all here for kindly educating us on these garments.

I have read about and heard of these and have cared for LDS patients; yet I have never run across these garments. I almost wondered if they really do exist.

Terri,

Thank you for your honesty and kindness in sharing. Especially considering this is not a topic that is frequently discussed.

There are marks on the garments signifying aspects of their temple ordinances and covenants they have made. Three marks on the tops and one on the bottoms. The marks are the same for men and women.

As pointed out there are various styles of these garments. The 94 year old gentleman might have been use to the older one piece single style rather than the more comfortable and more popular two piece that were introduced a few years back. In the very early days of the church these garments went from ankles to wrists.

If you are curious about what they mean as well as the temple ordinances they represent all you have to do is a google search.

Regards,

Ken

Just a question here: Isn't it considered bad (a disgrace, or something) if non LDS (i.e. Gentiles) see let alone handle the sacred underware. Did I get the wrong information?
