On a cold October Tuesday, 40-year-old Joni Bonnemort was driving through her home state of Utah when she hit a traffic jam near a Latter-day Saints distribution center, where practicing Mormons buy religious books, knickknacks, and clothing. She wasn’t sure what the holdup was until she started scrolling through TikTok. Her feed was full of videos of women lined up around the outside of the store, eager to purchase the church’s newly released sleeveless temple garments, the two-piece white underwear worn by adult members of the LDS church as a sacred reminder of the wearer’s covenants with God. For Bonnemort — an ex-Mormon who left the church ten years ago — the news brought back memories of members chastising girls for wearing tank tops or showing any skin at all. “Growing up, a big part of my experience was being shamed,” she said. “And one day, it just changed.”
