The garments you ask about are special only to Temple attending Members of the Mormon Church. They are available in Church operated outlets and you have to be recommended to buy them.

Hi. I AM mormon. And you can't just stroll into the temple and get some. I haven't been through the temple, so there is a lot I don't know about the purposes of the garments. BUT, I do know that they are for modesty. To keep women and men modest and to show God respect for the bodies he gave us. One of the first things God gave Adam and Eve were coverings.
Haha, and they aren't blessed in holy water. Mormons don't have holy water.
Oh yeah, and not all mormons wear them. Only the ones that have gone through the temple and made certain covenants with the Lord. I am only 16, and haven't done that yet. I will do that before I am married. Missionaries (boys and girls) go through the temple before they go on a mission. So, if I don't get married by the time I am of age to go on a mission, and I choose to serve one, I will be able to go through the temple.
But for now, I wear regular underwear, just like everyone else.

while persons are baptized into the church, they take upon themselves the preparatory gospel of repentance and baptism. that's an identical covenant that became administered by ability of John the Baptist. After residing that covenant, spiritually mature Mormons could make larger covenants interior the temple. those covenants are designed to deliver human beings into the presence of God. The covenant is with regards to the gospel that Jesus taught interior the hot testomony it fairly is a gospel of entire consecration of self. This covenant is a sacred promise to maintain on with Christ and as a on a regular basis reminder Mormons placed on a particular garment. that's worn decrease than the line outfits with the intention to not deliver interest to it. protecting covenants delivers non secular secure practices. for that reason the mocking term "magic undies". God protects this covenant and preserves it for decrease than people who can settle for it by ability of growing to be places referred to as temples removed from the international. while human beings circulate away the temple after attending for the 1st time, they experience like a diverse man or woman and wearing the garment is a privilage. i'm shocked that your mom did not understand with regard to the garment formerly attending the temple.

well you have to be baptized and attend church faithfully for over a year fulfilling assignments asked of you by your local ecclesastical leadership. you need to read the book of mormon and learn it is true, and also be willing to know that if you do get them after all that and going through the lds temple after all this, if you turn away from it you'll really wish you hadn't after you die cause you won't go to heaven. peace out.

they look like one piece men's long johns and shirt but don't worry they do not really do anything for you. they are suppose to protect you against harm. but its only cotton. if they really worked then J-walking would not be illegal in Utah.
