Which of the Secret Lives of Mormon Wives cast wear garments and what exactly are they?
It's all a bit complicated
The subject of Mormon garments gets briefly mentioned here and then during The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives, but what exactly are they and which cast members wear them? Let’s find out!
What even are Mormon garments on The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives?
Mormon garments are sacred items of clothing that are worn underneath regular clothes by Mormons who have made their “sacred promises” by going through the temple.
For women these typically include a white top or vest which is worn underneath your bra and longer shorts which replace standard underwear.
The purpose of the Mormon garments is to serve a physical reminder of the promises made in the temple, alongside encouraging modesty, something which definitely comes to mind when it comes to The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives cast…
As for when you need to be wearing the garments, really it should be everyday, with the exceptions being for when someone is working out, swimming or doing other activities…
Which of The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives cast members wear the garments?
Since a large amount of the Secret Lives of Mormon Wives cast are no longer in the church, the majority of them no longer wear garments.
However, during initial filming for the show, Jen Affleck would wear her garments, explaining it as “the same as wearing your wedding ring. It’s just a reminder of the promises that you made.”
As for why she decided to wear them whilst filming, Jen explained: “Before doing the show, I made a promise to myself that I’m going to really try hard to wear my garments throughout the show, because I wanted those reminders. It helped me a ton.”
However, this would sometimes cause an internal conflict as you can image the garments aren’t exactly sensual, with Jen admitting: “There were so many days where I wanted to wear something more sexy or more revealing! I went back and forth.”
Other cast members such as Mikayla and Layla never went though the temple, and as such they’re not required to wear the garments.
