I hate non-cottony feeling fabrics, and I hate tight. Cotton stretch sounds form-fitting. What was it like? What did you like about it? I got one set, bottom and top, and because they didn't have all sizes and I can be described as corpulent, what I got was a bit too tight. However, I could tell that if I had had the right size the bottom would fit better than the current cotton-poly bottom. This is because, not to put too fine a point on it, the bottoms of this new style accommodates male anatomy better than the current cotton-poly does.

No, no joke. The funny thing is that, without any proselyting on my part at all, my wife's two best friends (one of them my former YW president, and one of them from my wife's high school) switched to one-piece because we had been discussing them tangentially. Both of them swear by them, mainly because they don't become un-tucked. I prefer them myself, but not for that reason. I would think for other reasons that one-piece would be difficult and not preferred by women. My wife would never even try one-piece. Both my mom and dad wear them, which probably influences me. I'm pretty sure my style are still available. I think the discontinued one-piece ones were a different fabric style. ETA: What I'm not sure about is whether you can still get them stitched, or whether it is silk screen only. Anyone know? If that's the case, then T-shirt style is probably where things are going.

I’ve heard the one piece was a good maternity garment. Not sure how true that is though!
DBMormon Posted October 11, 2018 Posted October 11, 2018 On 10/8/2018 at 5:49 PM, Duncan said: This is what you wrote as per your FB thing on Oct. 1st. You made mention of conference predictions on Sept. 29th when you doubted their veracity, "The Church is losing its pull on people. You will see significant changes this General Conference (If my sources are correct)." so, if you heard these "weeks before" conference you didn't make mention of them until the 29th of Sept. which is not "weeks before". I only post that because you fault others for not recording historical events the day or the day after they happened, Like Joseph Smith said if you expect perfection from them they should expect it from you, but you don't deliver. In addition, what are we to believe, "weeks before" or "recently"? you didn't post it until the 29th. Again you fault people in the past for not recording events on the same day or day after i.e Lorenzo Snow's Vision, Aug. 8th, 1844 Brigham Young's tranformation. "So many of the public voices have their sources for inside info. I like them have mine. Recently I was made aware of several potential announcements coming out from General Conference about about a week ago. Today’s Episode dives into the Rumors that are out there, the Inside info I have, and the reasons why these changes would happen. I am more certain about some of these, less certain about others, but for the nuanced, liberal, or non-believing Mormon such things make tolerating conference more bearable and almost interesting!!!" 1.) Males and Females can go on Missions at 18 and serve 24 months: these combats the severe decline in the # of Missionaries serving. 2.) Removing the One year waiting period across the board if one has a civil marriage first. – The removes the tension this is causing many and relieves one item on the shelf of some who step back due to Mormonism’s abusive mechanisms. 3.) Going to a 2 hour block as the standard. This relieves those who are overly burdened in callings and it allows a ward to get by with less people due to the exodus of members. It also allows those who don’t feel uplifted to more easily justify continued attendance. 4.) Missionaries to serve only in the country they live. 5.) for those going through the endowment for the dead, reducing the endowment session to 1 hour. Again reducing the burden and boredom of younger members who lack the same blind commitment to the Church that their parents and grandparents had. 6.) This one seems mundane but is at the heart of the rumors. The SLC Temple will close for a 5 year renovation. If this one comes to pass, I trust the other 5 even if not implemented are being discussed in depth in top Church circles 7.) The temple interview made less rigid and less about keeping belief standards to accommodate a younger generation walking away from activity and adherence to Church standards." here's what I don't understand you say "Recently" but you also said, "weeks before" so which is it? and why didn't you post these predictions on FB or the podcast thing either? here's your gaslighting You say now you are "most confident" about two (SLC Temple and Shorter Church) and "I also said upfront that I didn't expect all of these to happen, only that if the two I said would did [sic]" but where did you say that because for the SLC Temple we get "if this one comes to pass" you don't sound "Most confident". Let's move on shall we to shorter Church, where do we get that you are "most confident" about that rumour? You say nothing about how confident you are it'll happen. The most we could get is you are generically "more certain about some" and "less certain about others" but you now say that the two you are "more certain" and "most confident" are the ones that actually happened, which sounds today most convenient, "if your sources" or "source" is correct. What are we to believe Bill? Your sources told you information but you doubt they are "correct" yet you are "most confident" and "more certain"? I was informed by my source weeks before. I was told to not go public until I got the go ahead. That happened when I made the post. Facebook is not the only place I talked about this as I also did a podcast on it.

Please, I don't want to be overly prudish. Well, since I haven't seen/worn the new garments and can't get any real detail out of you, I can only guess what needs to be said.

There is a structured pouch in the front that accommodates the male anatomy. It is roomy in that it allows for things to hang naturally but separates and provides slight support, more from behind than from beneath.

Yeah, outside of the bolded part I didn't notice any of that other stuff, just that it was more comfortable to wear because of the bolded part -- even though the set I got was too small because they didn't have my right size, it was still comfortable.

Industrial-weight cling wrap comes to mind ... Especially when soaking wet. We just had a family water balloon fight in the backyard. Schlurrrrrrrrrrp! (Pulling them away from the body). I really like one-piece, and much prefer the Corban to cotton or anything else. Cotton tends to get longer over time (I had both cotton and Corban on my mission).
