Garments, sometimes called “temple garments” or “garments of the holy priesthood,” are sacred religious undergarments worn by endowed members of the LDS Church. For practicing members, garments often symbolize devotion, covenant commitments, faith, and spiritual connection.
Experiences with garments vary significantly from person to person. Some individuals find comfort and meaning in wearing them. Others may experience complicated feelings related to body image, sexuality, autonomy, identity, comfort, or personal choice.
For women navigating a faith transition, decisions about garments can carry emotional significance that extends beyond clothing itself. They may represent changing beliefs, shifting identity, evolving boundaries, or reclaiming personal agency.
