And why do they wear it? I'm actually curious about it now!

There are two pieces to the Mormon temple garment, the top and the bottom.
The top itself just looks like a normal t-shirt. It has three marks sewn into it. The first is over the right breast and is in the shape of a "L". This is called the square mark (think of a carpenter's square). It is a symbol to remind the individual Mormon to be exact in following the commandments of God. Over the left breast is a mark that looks like a "V". This is called the compass mark, and symbolizes charting a course toward eternal life with God. Around the belly buton area is a mark that looks like a dash ('-'). This is the navel mark and symbolizes keeping ones passions and appetites in check.
The bottom half of the garments look more or less like boxer shorts. They have one mark over the right knee that looks like another dash. This is to symbolize that every knee will bow to Jesus at his coming.
You can find plenty of photos on the web of these two. Here are some links:

i'm no longer able to enable you recognize the way they are made because of the fact i do no longer understand, besides the undeniable fact that they are garment's that Mormons placed on whilst they are worth of stepping into the Temple. A Mormon guy or woman individuals has to take their endowment's which ability( a rite greater desirable then baptism, a dedication to the church) kinda like a nun habit. they seem to be a sacred garment to teach dedication. it fairly is in fact all that they are. you often must be an grownup, happening a undertaking, getting married, or merely prefer to bypass interior the direction of the temple! element of the dedication is to placed on them each and all the time. it fairly is something that maximum Mormons wont talk approximately this is quite sacred!! i'm hoping that this question replaced into no longer asked to mock the Mormon faith, i'm giving this answer in desire to enlighten you to no longer help greater desirable mock somebody! in case you desire to understand greater touch a community Bishop!!

I'm not a Mormon, not by a long shot, but they consider discussions of their garments to be in poor taste.
They believe the garments are sacred and treat them as such.

well the pair i found are all white. two pieces, top and bottom. the top is basically like a long white cotton t-shirt. it has some markings sewn into it. over the front left chest is a V. over the right front chest is an L, and over the bellybutton area is just a line. the bottoms are more of a silky material, they are like long boxer shorts, almost to the knee in length. there is another line sewn into just above the right knee.
what should i do with them?

Mormon underwear has a couple of masonic symbols on it that allegedly protect them from evil entities. Joe and his bro visited the Masonic lodge and like some of the rituals and signs of Masonry so they took them and forbid other Mormons from joining the Masons. It was really quite clever.

It looks like a pair of boxer briefs and a T-shirt. They come in different materials and styles to suit your particular body type so they don't ride up.
It is sacred because it reminds of of covenants that we make in the temple to live Christlike lives.

Remember that mormons are told how to act, how to talk, what to do, and how to dress. Everything that a cult does. It is all about control. Even what underwear they wear.

When we go to the temple, thru the temple, we make sacred covenants with God. Just like Adam and Eve were given coats of skins by God to wear when they were kicked out of Eden, we are given special garments that we wear under our regular clothing, next to our skin, to remind us of these covenants we made with God.

to hid what they call sex. as the Muslim female has to hid herself from lust. the Mormon's are conceded enough to think they are better to accuse even them self as lustful 'sinners. that their own family members are suppose to 'lust' for each other if seen in such attire.
