From Leggings to Diaper: The Zero-Turn Rodeo

-
Image
There I was—Saturday morning, coffee in hand, staring down the jungle my yard had become. The zero-turn mower was waiting like a bucking bronco, and I was dressed in the least OSHA-approved mowing outfit possible: shiny leggings stretched over a big, puffy diaper. Why? Because when you’re incontinent, you don’t always get the choice. What you can choose is whether to mope about it—or laugh and turn yard work into a comedy show. I picked the second option. The Setup I swung onto the mower like a wannabe stunt double, leggings squeaking against the vinyl seat. Almost instantly, my plastic pants started slipping below my waistband, leaving me perched on what felt like a human slip ’n slide. From the porch, I could see one of my neighbors sipping coffee. Little did they know, they were about to witness Saturday Morning Live. The Ride I fired up the mower and tore off like a pastel NASCAR rookie. Every bump bounced me sideways, every sharp turn sent me drifting. The diaper puff shif...

Support Sunday Pose by Pose Spotlight — Week 9 Savasana (Corpse Pose) with Diaphragmatic Breathing

-
Image
Welcome to Support Sunday, where we continue our soft journey through poses that nurture the pelvic floor, calm the nervous system, and remind you that even diapered bodies deserve dignity, beauty, and strength. This week, we’re unfolding. From the curled embrace of Child’s Pose, we now open into stillness, letting the body rest fully. A pose of surrender, softness, and complete release. Let’s lie back together in the healing quiet of Savasana with Diaphragmatic Breathing. How to do it: Lie flat on your back in Savasana. Place one hand on your chest and one on your belly. Close your eyes, soften your jaw, and let your breath guide you. Inhale gently into your belly, then exhale slowly, allowing tension to melt. Option: Rest your legs over a bolster or pillow to ease your lower back. Duration: 5–10 minutes. Note: “In this stillness, feel your breath cradling your pelvic bowl. You are safe, and you are healing.” Closing Reflection Savasana is often called the “final rest,” bu...

Fitness Friday: Managing the VDL (Visible Diaper Line) in Yoga & Fitness

-
Image
“Wait—did you catch that? Not VPL, but VDL. Everyone talks about the dreaded visible panty line. But for those of us who live in diapers, what we really have to worry about is the visible diaper line. It sounds a little funny, but it’s also real. That little outline can bring on a flood of questions: Can I really go to yoga without people noticing? What about barre, Pilates, or the gym? The good news is yes—you can absolutely move, stretch, and sweat with confidence. With a few smart choices, VDL doesn’t have to keep you from the studio.” 1. Choose the Right Base Layer Your leggings or yoga pants do most of the work here. Go thicker: Brushed, ribbed, or fleece-lined fabrics hide outlines far better than thin, shiny ones. Play with patterns: Heathered tones, camo prints, or busy designs distract the eye much more than flat solids. Darker shades help too: Black, navy, or charcoal absorb light and disguise lines, while pastels and pa...

✨ Wardrobe Wednesday: A Little Extra Flare ✨

-
Image
This week’s Wardrobe Wednesday starts with a little swish. Picture it: me stepping out of my neighborhood coffee shop in black flare yoga pants, a lavender hoodie slipping just enough to show the strap of my pink longline activewear top, and my tote brushing against my hip. The barista had just given me a smile—not a puzzled one, but the kind that says I see you, and you look good. In that moment, I wasn’t “a guy in yoga pants.” I was simply Alice: padded, soft, confident, and swishing happily into my day. ✨ A little history, Alice-style Of course, it wasn’t always like this. The “gear only” years: In the 2000s, men’s leggings were strictly compression tights—gear for running or cycling, hidden under shorts, invisible outside of sport. But here’s my secret: I was wearing them even earlier. In the mid-90s, I ran and rollerbladed in bold tights—blue tiger stripes, even pink. Women on the trail loved them. They didn’t laugh; they smiled. That feeling of freedom, of being notice...

AME Yoga Shorts: A Review for Comfort, Movement, and Incontinence

-
Image
Hi, it’s Alice 💕—back again with something I’m really excited to share. As many of you know, I live in yoga pants, leggings, and soft comfy shorts. But since I wear diapers every day (medical incontinence, not by choice—but I embrace it!), I’m always on the lookout for styles that let me move, stretch, and feel confident without worrying about coverage. Recently, I came across AME Yoga’s yoga shorts - women's + men's Pune style yoga bloomers, and I knew I had to try them. They have a soft, rounded, almost “petal-like” cut with a generous waistband that immediately felt promising. After giving them a real test, I want to share how they worked for me—and hopefully help others who might be in the same boat. 🌸 Fit & Feel Waistband: Wide, soft, and stretchy—no digging in, which is a blessing when layered over thicker protection. Leg Openings: The bloomers have extra room at the thighs with a gathered hem, which drapes nicely instead of clinging. That means no sharp...

Support Sunday Pose by Pose Spotlight — Week 8 Child’s Pose (Balasana) with Gentle Breathing

-
Image
Welcome to Support Sunday, where we continue our soft journey through poses that nurture the pelvic floor, calm the nervous system, and remind you that even diapered bodies deserve dignity, beauty, and strength. This week, we’re curling inward. A pose of stillness, of openness, and of elegant surrender. Let’s fold together into the gentle embrace of Child’s Pose (Balasana). How to do it: Kneel on your mat with your big toes touching and knees apart. Sink your hips back toward your heels and fold forward, resting your forehead on the mat. Stretch your arms forward, or let them drape softly by your sides. Option: Place a pillow or bolster under your chest or between your thighs and calves for extra support. Duration: 1–3 minutes, or longer if it feels nurturing. Note: “Curl inward. Feel the earth hold you. In this pose, your back widens, your hips soften, and your whole body whispers: I am safe.” Closing Reflection Child’s Pose (Balasana) is a posture of surrender, but not d...

Wardrobe Wednesday: A Neighborhood Cheerleader for My Yoga Outfits

-
Image
Lavender, longline, and a little crinkle confidence—heading to class with a smile Sometimes your favorite yoga look isn’t just about how you feel in it—it’s about how it makes the people around you smile. There’s a yoga mom in my neighborhood who’s basically become my unofficial cheerleader. We’ve crossed paths three times now while I’ve been heading to class—always in leggings or shorts, always padded underneath. First time: I was wearing my black leggings, my mat slung over my shoulder. She came by in her own leggings, pushing a stroller, and smiled: “Going to yoga?” “Yes!” “Have fun—you look great!” It was such a simple exchange, but it carried me all the way through class. Second time: I had stepped things up—mint short shorts, a thick diaper, and pastel plastic baby pants underneath. It was a bold choice for me, but the warm weather won out. She didn’t miss a beat: “Love the shorts! Have fun at yoga!” And just like that, I left grinning. Third time: Today, I was in ...
