Answer 1

No not true.

Answer 2

Some do, if they have gone through the temple. They are pretty basic. I'm Mormon, but my wife isn't, and she makes it a point to tell me how un-sexy they are, but oh well. They are basicall meant to remind you of the promises you make to the Lord in the temple. Sort of like the prayer scroll Jews wear on their arms, or other symbolic matters. It's also an expression of your faith. The ones I wear do pretty much look like a Hanes or Jockey undershirt and the bottoms look like quasi-boxers, a little more like those calvin klein sports boxers or something. Not that anyone wants to know why my underwear look like, really.

Answer 3

I've never heard that one before! Some Mormons do wear garments, often called “Mormon underwear” by those unfamiliar with our beliefs, as a form of religious clothing. In early adulthood, prepared Mormon men and women typically participate in the higher ordinances of the Mormon temple for the first time. During these ceremonies, they make sacred promises to God, including the promise to dedicate themselves to Him. The day these promises are first made is one of the most important days in the life of a faithful Mormon. From that day forward, Mormons wear their religious clothing underneath their “street closes” as a quite, inner reminder of the sacred promises made. Mormons don’t think of their garments as “underwear,” but rather a sacred reminder of their renewed dedication to God.

Mormonism is by no means the only religion that uses religious clothing as a symbol. Catholic clergymen have religious robes, protestant clergymen often use a distinctive “collar," Jews have their yarmulkes (skull caps), Muslim women wear the hijab, and the Sikh wear their turbans. I have even heard that some Orthodox Jews wear an undergarment with religions significance (the tzitzit), much like the Mormon garment.

Contrary to the allegations of many anti-Mormon bigots, Mormons do not believe that their garments are “magic.” They do not believe that garments necessarily “protect” them from physical injury. Garments serve only as a reminder of special promises made to God; because of this powerful religious symbolism, mocking the Mormon garment is a very offensive form of hate-speech.

It is amazing the nature of some of these questions.... No that is not true. All Mormons can, and do, wear underwear.

Where do you get that idea?
I knew two mormons (brother and sister) in school back in 1987. They used the same type of clothing (including underwear, pijamas, etc) like everyone else in the school.

No true. I wear underwear every day.
