I wore magic Mormon underwear so you don’t have to—and yes, it was as weird as it sounds. In this video, I dive into the bizarre (and extremely secretive) world of Mormon temple garments, including awkward personal stories, culty rituals, and the ridiculous laundry list of rules about underwear you can’t even show anyone. Buckle up—it’s time to talk about the “sacred,” the silly, and the straight-up uncomfortable.
