There are anecdotal stories of women experiencing discomfort, even medical problems because they wear garments. The Mormon Church has consistently worked to make the garments more comfortable and suitable for a range of body types and for both genders. This process is ongoing. Female Mormon garments are made from a variety of fabrics and in a few different designs. While some women find garments uncomfortable, others find garments to be comfortable. The ultimate goal of wearing garments for both males and females is to remember and honor the covenants they have made with God.
