Mormon Garments.

With all the Mormon stuff floating around on FJ I thought I would post this link to some information on sacred garments.

Our goal is to make “magical†underwear available to the masses for use as costume wear, fetish wear, and all your kinky, dress-up needs.

:lol:

They're kind of pricey. I hope they're super-fantastical-magic underwear for that kind of money.

There are some hot men on those pages :lol:

[DarkAnts]

Most of the garments I have seen are 100% synthetic. I think this would be a step up from those garments.

Deliciously defrauding. :D

[silverspoons]

Someone is making some $$$. I remember when ebay pulled listing a few years ago and some were bid up over $1k.

If buy them at beehive clothing they are $10 a set. You used to be able to just walk in and buy but they have tighten the rules.

I've read about those things, it seems like so much of Mormonism is some kind of money-making scam. The Mormon temple near me has a (real) gold-plated angel on top of the (marble) temple and it's just as ridiculously extravagant on the inside, which I got to see when the place first opened and they allowed people in for tours. Isn't tithing great?

[WonderingInWA]

Oh, my, that's hilarious! I grew up in Idaho where there are more Mormons per capita than in Utah. I have never been Mormon but certainly knew many of them. My next-door neighbors growing up had 7 kids and one was my age. I would help her do housework sometimes and they always had retired garments in their rag box for dusting. How defrauding for this non-Mormon girl, right? LOL.

The ones my mom prefers are a cotton blend, I believe. She also has some that are silky and synthetic material, but she says they're too hot in the summer. She is one of those who wears her bra outside the top, which always struck me as odd.

$42 is rather pricey, I could probably snag a pair or two from my mom's closet next time I'm in Utah and I'd be willing to let them go for the low low price of $40*

Also, raise your hand if you've accidentally worn a men's garment top as a t-shirt without realizing you grabbed the wrong thing from the laundry :hand:

*This is purely snark, I haven't visited my mother in many years, and don't plan on seeing her any time soon. Sorry garment collectors.

[OkToBeTakei]

So it's basically just thermal knickers and a vest? How disappointing. Is the fabric dipped in Viagra? Is that the 'magic' bit?

The bra is supposed to be worn outside the garment top by tradition. And yes, that's just weird. I'm guessing most modern Mormon women don't do that anymore.

I remember going to the home of one of my moms friends when I was a young teenager. This was during a single adult conference that they were attending, and I clearly remember the hostess of the group bending over to put a movie in and her pants gapped open and showing was a red satin thong...worn over top her garmies. I do not understand why anyone would do this, I think it's gross.

[Iokaste]

I have a group of Mormon friends and if you met any of them on the street you'd never know they weren't mainstream hipster-type urbanite young women, but they all claim they wear their bra on top of the garments, since its supposed to be the closest thing to your body, in the way that your faith is the closest thing to your heart.

I guess having spent a lot of time around Mormons have left me a little blind to how odd the garments really are, I'm always surprised at people's strong reaction to them.

The bra being worn outside the garments, I get, in the sense that the garment is supposed to be closest to your body, I just think it would be terribly uncomfortableb to have a layer of fabric and embroidered symbols sandwiched between my bra and my breasts. The thong outside the garment I just don't understand at all. For me at least, thongs are worn so that panty lines don't show under tight pants, or to prevent the sometimes inevitable creeping-up-the-crack of other panties. Over top of garmies, I see no need for a thong.

You're in SA aren't you? When I was still at Flinders, one of our classmates sent a bulk email to the entire med school inviting us all to come see the newly built temple. Her big promo was that the Hyatt-Regency cost $1000 per square metre, but the temple cost $8000 per square metre to build. Which sort of put me off really. I thought her money obsession (it came up often) was just her personality, but now I wonder!

[LIzzieB]

I'm in SA too, and I'm totally kicking myself that I didn't know more about the Mormons when they had the open day at the temple.

Do you guys know any Mormons in SA? I only ever knew one family, that of a school friend. They kept it very quiet, and I only found out in Year 10 after I'd known her for 5 years and spent time at her house. Her sisters both went to Salt Lake City when they were 18 or 19, but I didn't understand the significance at the time. I've tracked her down on Facebook and she's now married with four kids, and her younger brother attended BYU-Hawaii and married in the temple there.

I remember the first time I heard about garments. I had been doing family history research at the LDS centres (years before so much was available on the web) and read a bit about them, but never heard about garments, I suppose because they're secret. I was truly shocked and had to jump online because I couldn't believe it was true. And there they were. I suppose they are no weirder than any other religious garment, like a hijab or tzitzit, but I think it's the fact that it's UNDERWEAR that makes it weird.

[slickcat79]

It seems like the garments might have been more practical at the time when Mormonism was invented. They're not so different from the type of underwear people wore in the 1800s. I'm just kind of surprised they haven't evolved into something more useful for modern-wear. If the point is to wear the symbols of your religion close to your body and preserve some sort of modesty, couldn't that be just as easily accomplished with a fitted tank top/yoga top/sports bra and a pair of boyshorts?

[mebeforee]

Out of curiosity, what is with the little x pattern on the tops, positioned near the nipples?? Is the goal to keep the outline of the nipple from being seen through the clothing?

Those are the marks. On the breasts there are two, one looks like an L and the other a V. There is a dash near where the belly button is. On the bottoms there's a dash where the right knee would be.

[mebeforee]

So do they designate the garment as being sacred somehow? Is there specific meaning to each one, like runes or something?

Wow, 1000 per square meter is not uncommon... that's about 100 per square foot which is what you would expect to pay in a lot of construction projects (A typical well built new house would cost at least that much). But 8 times that?! The fact that they promote the cost is telling of what Mormons are really like. Tithing in the Bible is about giving to the poor. Tithing amongst Jewish farmers in Israel, for instance, means handing over a percentage of your crops to feed the destitute. Yes, a church or a synagogue needs dues and donations to keep the lights on and the building kept up but the idea that people have to hand over large donations or else in order to build an over the top religious structure is something that I would have hoped died out years ago. Its not really progress to repeat the excesses of the Church in Europe when people would starve while massive stone Churches were built. But, even then those churches at least had their doors open most of the time for anyone who wanted to come by and look around. Pilgrims would be in and out all day just as tourists are these days. The secrecy should send up red flags to any reasonable person. Even if Mitt was running as a Liberal I wouldn't be able to vote for him. There is something so sinister about the whole thing.

Those marks are one of the things Joesph Smith ripped off from the Masons.

Deliciously defrauding. :D

Now, if I get one of those hotties with an underwear order, then I think it would be worth it. ;)

The awesome, it hurts.

Praise be that the women's magic undies were sold out; saved me a bundle.
