Alice In Yoga Pants

  Seventeen thousand. That’s how many people have now seen a post I wrote about incontinence, about better diapers, and about choosing joy anyway. Seventeen thousand strangers, quietly scrolling—and for a moment, they saw me . Not the shame. Not the stereotype. Just me. A guy in yoga pants. A thick, printed diaper beneath. A smile. A story. A life. I never set out to go “viral.” I’m not chasing clout—I’m chasing comfort , confidence , and community . I wrote that post because I was tired of hiding. Tired of tiptoeing around words like diaper and incontinence like they were bad things. They’re not bad—they’re part of my life . And I make that life soft, sweet, and strong every single day. I wear better diapers not to be cute or silly (though sometimes I am cute and silly), but because I deserve to be protected, dry, and confident. I wear yoga pants over my diapers because I love how they feel—hugging my legs and hips, letting me move and breathe and stretch into mys...

  A Crinkle & Flow Confession by Alice in Yoga Pants Let me ask a question that’s been sitting in my drawer (literally) for far too long: Why would I even have underwear anymore? No really—like, why do I still own any? I say this with a mix of sheepish honesty and giggles because the answer has become embarrassingly obvious over the years. Every now and then—usually during some hopeful, misguided moment—I’ll open that drawer and pull out a pair of “normal” men’s underwear. You know, the kind I used to wear. The kind I used to wish I could still wear. And for some reason, I always think, maybe just for today. Maybe I don’t need diapers right now. Cue laugh track. Because every single time, without fail, I soak them. And not just a little. I mean full-on accident, no warning, game over, go directly to the laundry bin. It’s like my body is trying to remind me: Nope. You know where you belong, baby. The thing is, I’ve been living with incontinence for years now. What used to feel l...

Welcome to the very first Support Sunday —a gentle weekly spotlight on yoga poses that offer strength from the inside out. Whether you live with incontinence, are healing your pelvic floor, or simply need a moment to ground yourself in softness, this space is for you. Each week, I’ll share a pose that has helped me feel more at home in my body—and more empowered in my path. We’re starting slow, safe, and beautifully supported… with Bridge Pose. 💜 🧘‍♀️ 1. Bridge Pose (Setu Bandhasana) How to do it: Lie on your back with your knees bent and your feet planted about hip-width apart. Let your arms rest beside you, palms facing down. As you press into your feet, gently lift your hips up toward the sky. Let the strength come from your thighs and your core—especially the sweet little muscles deep inside your pelvis. Duration: Hold for 5–10 soft breaths. You can lower slowly, rest, and repeat 2–3 times if it feels good. Note: “As you lift, think of your hips like rising sunshine—gen...

Urinary incontinence is more common than most men want to admit. Whether it’s the result of surgery, injury, trauma, or time—leakage and loss of control can chip away at a man’s confidence, activity level, and even his identity. But yoga can offer something powerful in return. As someone who lives openly in diapers and practices yoga daily, I’ve seen how this practice can transform the relationship between body, breath, and shame. Some people might call them absorbent garments or products for bladder protection. But let’s be honest—they’re diapers. And that’s not a dirty word here. It’s just part of how I live, move, and care for my body. Yoga isn’t about perfection or performance. It’s about healing—physically and emotionally. 🩺 What Causes Male Incontinence? Common causes include: Prostate surgery Nerve damage Injuries, Trauma or PTSD Aging and weakened pelvic floor muscles Many men respond with silence. Or withdrawal. Or isolation. I responded with yoga. 🌿 How Yoga Helps Men w...

What started with a whisper of leggings and a shimmer of self-love just became a quiet revolution in yoga pants. They said I couldn’t do it. They said “professionalism” had a dress code—and I wasn’t in it. Not in my puffed pants. Not in my yoga pants or leggings. Not in my gentle colors, high-waist joggers, or anything that dared to hug the body I live in. Certainly not in anything that quietly padded the truth of my daily needs. But soft buds have a way of blooming wide when the sun hits just right. And last week, the light finally broke through. ☀️ The Quiet Revolution After weeks of quiet persistence, careful conversations, and showing up again and again as my whole self—with dignity, joy, and a killer tote bag—I got the news: I am officially allowed to wear joggers, yoga pants, leggings and soft, flexible attire to work. Over my diapers. Without shame. Without pretense. With grace. I cried. The good kind of tears—the ones that taste like lavender tea and long-held relief. The kind ...

Hi, I’m Alice—and at the bottom of every blog post, you’ll find a quiet little line of hashtags. To some, they might just look like social media tags. But to me, they’re tiny love notes. Markers of my journey. Soft declarations of who I am. If you’ve ever wondered what they mean—or if you're trying to find the words for your own path—this post is for you. ✨ #AliceInYogaPants That’s me. I live in yoga pants, diapers, and gentle visibility. This tag is more than a name—it’s a signature. A way of saying, “This is my life, and I’m not hiding anymore.” 🌊 #CrinkleAndFlow This is my rhythm. The crinkle of my diapers and the flow of my yoga practice are both a part of me. I didn’t choose them to match—but somehow, they do. It’s a tag for movement, healing, and being proud of what makes me different. 🧘‍♂️ #DiaperedYoga I show up on the mat padded and proud. This tag is for those of us practicing yoga while wearing what we need—and still moving with intention, breath, and grace. 🌱 #Vis...

There was a time when I didn’t know if I would ever feel safe in my body again. I don’t just mean physically. After a traumatic accident during my time in the military, I was left with broken bones, internal injuries, and pain that ran deeper than any X-ray could show. I had emotional wounds—anxiety, depression, panic—that no one could see. And I had scars that people could see… the ones that made me want to hide my body, shrink myself, disappear. I didn’t know how to move forward. My body felt like a stranger, and my mind became a battlefield. But then, slowly, something began to shift. I don’t remember the exact moment yoga came into my life—it wasn’t some grand awakening. It was more like a whisper. A quiet suggestion. I didn’t believe it could help. How could stretching or breathing possibly fix the mess I felt inside? Still, I tried. I started small. Sitting in stillness. Lifting my arms. Noticing my breath. It felt foreign at first. Sometimes frustrating. But for the first time s...

  There’s something about the rhythm of a busy yoga mom life—running from class to errands to a quiet moment with a chai—that makes you treasure the little touches. The details that make your day smoother and sweeter. And this week, I found a new favorite: a simple, colorful way to turn my everyday tote into something unmistakably mine. The trick? A satin scrunchie bundle clipped right to the strap. That’s it. Four soft scrunchies—lavender, baby blue, mint, and pink—nestled together with a small alligator clip and fastened gently to the strap of my favorite black Lululemon tote. Suddenly, that sleek, structured bag wasn’t just “yoga gear.” It was my yoga mom bag. Playful. Softly Styled. Practical. Thoughtful. It made me smile every time I picked it up. Why it works: It’s functional: You always have a scrunchie on hand for a topknot, a wrist accent, or even just a little sensory comfort during the day. It’s expressive: That flash of pastel on black says softness lives here. It’s a d...

If you love a little extra space to stretch, twist, and crinkle through your flows, The (Big) Mat by Lululemon definitely delivers. At a generous 29" x 84" (74 cm x 213 cm), it's noticeably longer than standard mats, which means no more awkwardly readjusting during downward dog or yoga nidra. That extra room? Absolutely dreamy. What I Love: Room to move – Finally, a mat that matches my full-body practice. It's perfect for taller yogis or anyone who just wants a little breathing room. Grip galore – The polyurethane top layer is wonderfully grippy, even during sweaty flows. No towel needed! Cushiony comfort – With a 5 mm (0.19") thickness, it feels stable but soft, especially for knees and hips. Reversible design – A fun touch if you like a little variety. Antimicrobial protection – Built-in defense against mold and mildew helps keep things fresh longer. Heads Up: The smell – Right out of the box, this mat had a strong burnt rubber s...

There’s something empowering about the perfect pair of shorts—especially when they strike that balance between softness, function, and a little leggy flair. For me, Old Navy’s 3.5-inch inseam shorts hit that sweet spot. Whether I’m headed to yoga, sipping a latte on a shaded patio, or taking a morning walk in the breeze, these shorts let me feel like myself: confident, casual, and totally comfortable. ☀️ Dynamic Fleece 3.5" Shorts (Mint & Black) Let’s start with the Extra High-Waisted Dynamic Fleece Shorts. These are a dream for cozy mornings and playful afternoons. The fleece is lightweight but plush, and the extra-high waist offers a soft, secure fit that stays put all day. And yes—they’re short, but not skimpy. They give just enough cheek and curve to make me feel flirty without trying too hard. The mint green pair is a favorite of mine—bright, happy, and surprisingly easy to style. I love pairing them with a matching crop top or oversized hoodie with a shoulder slipped dow...

     Let us move in peace. Let us stretch without shame. Let us wear what lets us breathe. To anyone who feels the need to shame others for what they wear—especially in a space like yoga: Please stop. Yoga is meant to be a practice of connection, breath, self-awareness, and non-judgment. It is not a space to measure others against your comfort zone, your gender expectations, or your need for control. I wear leggings and yoga pants because they allow me to move freely, feel comfortable, and—frankly—because I like how they feel. That’s it. That’s the reason. And I don’t owe anyone more justification than that. But here's what I will say: When you comment, sneer, whisper, or make someone feel less-than because they don’t fit your idea of who should wear what… you’re not protecting yoga. You’re polluting it. Some of us walk into that studio carrying invisible battles—health issues, gender expression, trauma, recovery. For me, wearing leggings over thick diapers and plastic pa...

“Boxwood Wine. Lip Gloss Shine. The tote that carries it all—and me.” Sometimes confidence isn’t loud—it just glides. A swipe of lip gloss, the right yoga pants, and a tote waiting to carry the little pieces of who I am. Today’s look had purpose: Boxwood Wine yoga pants, snug and supportive over my protection A matching activewear top under a fitted black ribbed tank Cropped black jacket, unzipped for just the right hint of layering MAC Snobbish lip gloss for that soft, shiny finish Hair neat, heart fluttering with that just-enough boldness to keep me moving I walked through Southpoint Mall like I had somewhere important to be—because I did. Lululemon was my destination, but really, it was just the altar at the end of my little runway. The salesgirl spotted me instantly and lit up. “Well look at you, already for yoga! What can I do for you today?” My heart swelled. That’s the moment I live for—to be noticed, accepted, even quietly celebrated. We chatted, and in no tim...

  Whether you’re deep into your vinyasa flow or simply stretching with your favorite playlist, your yoga mat is your soft landing place. But for those of us managing incontinence—whether due to injury, age, disability, medical conditions, or simply life—your mat sometimes catches more than just your fall. Leaks happen. This post is here to help you keep your yoga space fresh, clean, and full of dignity. 🧸 Why Incontinence-Sensitive Yoga Mat Care Matters Yoga should be for every body—including those who wear protection like diapers, pads, or briefs. There’s no shame in showing up padded or prepared. But after a warm, active session, your mat can retain moisture, odors, or even slight staining if not cared for gently. This is your space. Let’s keep it comfy and clean. 🧼 Daily Wipe-Down Routine After each session, especially if you’ve been sitting or kneeling in protective garments: Gentle Wipe: Use baby wipes or a soft cloth with warm water and a touch of baby shampoo ...

Wow. I am absolutely in love with my new black Lululemon On My Level Carryall Tote Bag—it’s everything I needed and more. Whether I’m heading to yoga class, out for a coffee, or just running errands, this slouchy-chic carryall is the ultimate companion. It’s effortlessly stylish while packing in thoughtful functionality that keeps up with my busy, beautifully padded life. The bag is surprisingly roomy with a dedicated yoga mat panel (complete with buckle closures), a secure water bottle pocket, and plenty of interior zip and mesh compartments for my cozy shorts and sweatshirt, and yes—my changing supplies. There's even a hidden exterior zippered pocket with a generous pull, perfect for clipping on accessories. The lanyard loop inside the outer zip pocket is a dream for keeping my keys easy to grab, even when my hands are full with a smoothie. The adjustable shoulder straps make it comfy to carry whether slung over one arm or in my hand, and I love how the bridge buckle straps can c...

Alice is a man who wears diapers—not because he chose to, but because he chose to accept them. And in doing so, he found a softness that many men spend their lives running from. He doesn’t wear diapers and plastic pants in shame. He wears them in confidence. He doesn’t wear leggings, yoga pants or sports bras to be a woman. He wears them because they feel right on his body, because softness is part of his truth. Yoga has become more than a practice for Alice—it’s a lifeline. Through Yin and Flow classes, long stretches on his mat, and moments of stillness in child’s pose, Alice is learning how to live in his body again. He's breathing through pain, healing invisible wounds, and finding joy where he once felt broken. The mat has become his safe place—where diapers don’t need to be hidden, and where his softness isn’t just allowed, it’s celebrated. He floats in pastels, attends yoga with his diaper under his leggings, and sips iced lattes from wide pink straws. His tote bag is packed...
