    Excellent find, though I wonder why you were searching lds.org for "lingerie".

      I added the suffix "pro" to "create" and "creative"--that made the piece more entertaining, but it's still a weird essay for a Church website.

        "Createpro" and "creativepro" don't really add any entertainment value for me. I lack a sense of humor that way, I suppose.

          I was disappointed the illustrations were missing. The peignoir set sounded lovely.

            Suffix, prefix, whatever. Agreed about your lack, however!

              I told TheBYUGal about the special Brazilian G's a couple nights ago. She thought it was pretty cool but was a little skeptical and wanted to verify.

              We went Commando (#ntws) and pulled up the G store online--we had the same experience with being asked for a Brazilian tax ID #. Two notes:
              -No special G cuts show up on the site. And in fact, the selection was pretty small.
              -I also went through the process for a few other countries and couldn't find any other instances where a tax ID was required.

              She also decided to use a lifeline and phone a friend (we'll call her "June"). June's daughter served her mission in Brazil, then married a Brazilian and currently lives there. And June is currently visiting her daughter in Brazil. After asking her daughter, June told us that her daughter is not aware of any sweet Brazilian cut. She just knows that the selection is limited at the distribution centers there. She also mentioned that her Brazilian in-laws always stock up when they travel to the US because the quality and selection in country is poor.

              TheBYUGal was saddened by this news. I think she was secretly hoping to have June bring some souvenirs home. Sorry, but the jury is still out on whether these things really exist.

                Bad sizing, poor quality, uncomfortable are the reasons I would want out.

                    Wouldn't a wristband like the livestrong band do the same thing, also it would be a full time reminder and not just when you went to take a dump.

                      Well, great for a guy where Gs are not that different from the design of what some other males wear. But horrible for women.

                          When I was in Brazil we always hired maids to wash our clothes and clean the house. We would typically hire members so that they could wash everything. You air dry your clothes and I frequently when picking up our laundry I would see tank top garments. The Americans always assumed that the local sisters were cutting the sleeves.

                          Brazilians only had like 2 choices of garment material the mesh and the silk. The holes in the mesh were huge and didn't give to them just chilling in their garments because you could see straight to the junk.

                            Is there any theological reason that garments need to be uncomfortable to remind us of our covenants? Maybe it a Mo-Lite version of the cilice.

                            Personally, I find that wearing the cut-out heel of my shoe on my head is sufficient.

                              I like my Gs. They're the same thing I wore before getting endowed (100% cotton t-shirt; boxer briefs), only the bottoms are quite a bit longer, which doesn't affect me on a day-to-day basis. Also, the G bottoms last longer than Hanes or Fruit of the Loom boxer briefs.

                                Clothing from the 19th century in the 21st century always makes sense to me. Maybe LDS can resort to wearing 1st Century clothing to show true devotion. I wonder how camel hair would feel in Arizona during the summer.
