The Mormon Boob Report
Why does the Ensign (the official LDS Church magazine) seem to avoid showing women with larger breasts? An ethnographic analysis by Beatrice examined over 100 images from recent Ensign issues to see how women’s bodies are portrayed—and what’s deliberately hidden.
In this video, we break down:
🔹 LDS photo submission guidelines for women vs. men
🔹 The surprising frequency of cropped, covered, or obscured women’s torsos
🔹 Why fitted clothing is only shown on small-breasted women
🔹 How modesty culture reinforces body-policing and shame
🔹 The broader impact on LDS women’s self-image
This isn’t just about fashion—it’s about how a culture of modesty shapes perception, reinforces unrealistic standards, and silences body diversity.
