Mormon garments, also referred to as Mormon undergarments or Mormon underwear, are undergarments worn by members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints as a symbol of sacred covenants made with God. In Mormon culture the term garments has been adapted to mean these special undergarments. People who are outside Mormon culture routinely talk about the garment industry, but the word garment is rarely used to refer to everyday clothing.

abstract	Mormon garments, also referred to as Mormon undergarments or Mormon underwear, are undergarments worn by members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints as a symbol of sacred covenants made with God. In Mormon culture the term garments has been adapted to mean these special undergarments. People who are outside Mormon culture routinely talk about the garment industry, but the word garment is rarely used to refer to everyday clothing. For most people who wear it, the Mormon garment takes the place of regular underwear. (For this reason, some people refer to the garment as Mormon undergarments or as Mormon underwear. Most Mormons shy away from such terms, preferring the simpler term garment, instead.) The garment is directly related to Mormon temples. It is here that faithful members first receive the garment after individual instruction on how it should be worn and cared for. The garment is worn as part of a special ceremony called the temple endowment. During the ceremony additional special clothing is worn for ceremonial purposes, but this ceremonial clothing is worn only inside a temple. The garment, on the other hand, is worn at all times (day and night) by members as a constant reminder of the promises they have made to God. They are removed only when considered proper for the activity. Naturally, bathing and swimming necessitate their removal, but they may be removed for other strenuous activities such as football, basketball, or other vigorous exercise as deemed appropriate by the wearer.
