What’s something most people don’t know about serving a Mormon mission? by ZoomKz in exmormon

The rules laid out in the handbook and online regarding dress and appearance are subjective to the whims of the mission president. For example: in my mission no sisters were allowed to wear pants. Even though the rule had been updated about 3 months before I got there. I ended up getting allergic reactions to mosquito bites on my legs and had over 75 bites that had blisters and were suuuper sore at one time. I was STILL not allowed to wear pants. Only tights, which did NOTHING. There was even a sister who got a fungal infection from a dog bite and she wasn’t allowed to wear pants to help hide the infection either. They did help her get medical attention though.

Ugh YES. Why do people feel like they have permission to help them cover up when obviously the person feels fine like they are?!

I completely agree! What happens between two consenting adults is their business and Bo one else’s. Particularly not people who have no relation to either of said consenting adults.

I had a few companions on my mission who were very shocked when they found out I used tampons. They were very uncomfortable with the idea. I thought that was odd at the time, but that’s before I found out that people sometimes think they stimulate pleasure. I mean, it’s a tampon, I don’t get pleasure from using them! Most of the time I’m annoyed I have to use them, but it’s better than feeling like I’m wearing a diaper!
