On my mission they were very useful when I had to sit on some scary looking cold toilet seats. My son does at times purely for comfort, hates the elastic.

He's never had to wear one piece, unless it was when we were first married or during his mission in the late 70's, can't remember. I'm surprised they're still available.

I want to try new garments but I have been dropping a lot of weight in the last few weeks (medication) and want to see where I end up. Then again garment sizing at least for men is very weird. I wear a large in shirt size but in garments those are so baggy on me it is ridiculous. Even mediums are pretty loose. I also prefer nylon mesh since I am usually in a hot climate. 1

The new garments for me vary in size in different materials and cuts (have to have a size higher for lower waist than natural).

I find them more friendly to male anatomy -- the new ones (which I helped test btw) are going to be good!

They view it as an even greater protection against sxual sin because it makes access more difficult. I was part of a disciplinary council for a young man who was sent home from his mission for immorality. The bishop I was serving with at the time made a comment like "if he was wearing the one piece like I do he wouldn't have had that problem". Personally, I don't agree, but then again, maybe he has a point That's ridiculous. You don't even have to take it off fer cryin' out loud. As I said earlier, I find them more comfortable than the older two-piece, that's all. I was driving in a car once with an old guy who argued with me about putting on his seat belt. He claimed that if we had an accident he wanted to be "thrown clear," which wearing a seat belt would prevent. A Darwin Award Honorable Mention in the making. I mention this only because it is in the same class as the dumb statement bolded above. Edited June 23, 2019 by Stargazer 1
Andysek77 Posted July 21, 2019 Posted July 21, 2019 Im sad that Church stopped the original garment it was revealed to Prophet Joseph Smith. The pattern. Why i cant buy them. They were stopped sellong 1975. Now are stopped even short one piece. Wish to wear the original which Prophet told that was showed him to angel. But i cant.
Andysek77 Posted July 28, 2019 Posted July 28, 2019 Changes of garments is bad. It was while they were living in Nauvoo that the Prophet came to my mother, who was a seamstress by trade, and told her that he had seen the Angel Moroni with the garments on, and asked her to assist in cutting out the garments. They spread unbleached muslin out on the table and he told her how to cut it out. She had to cut the third pair, however, before he said it was satisfactory. She told the prophet that there would be sufficient cloth from the knee to the ankle to make a pair of sleeves, but he told her he wanted as few seams as possible and that there would be sufficient whole cloth to cut the sleeve without piecing. The first garments were made of unbleached muslin and bound with turkey red and were without collars. Later on the prophet decided he would rather have them bound with white. Sister Emma Smith, the Prophet's wife, proposed that they have a collar on as she thought they would look more finished, but at first the prophet did not have the collars on them. After Emma Smith had made the little collars which were not visible from the outside of the dress, Sister Eliza R. Snow made a collar of fine white material which was worn on the outside of the dress. The garment was to reach to the ankle and the sleeves to the wrist. The marks were always the same."
