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

-


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 diaper outline showing through.

  • Rise & Coverage: High enough to give good coverage, even when bending and stretching.

  • Fabric: Light, breathable, and super comfortable on the skin—no swish or rustle.

Yoga & Movement Test
I wore these to restorative yoga (lots of stretching, folding, and holding poses). Honestly, they surprised me:

  • They flowed with me beautifully.

  • No tugging or adjusting needed.

  • Most importantly—no visible diaper line VDL even when my mat neighbor was only a foot away. 🌸

I also tested them just for lounging around the house, and they’re perfect for that too—soft and roomy without feeling sloppy.

For Those of Us Who Wear Protection
Let’s be honest: finding activewear that doesn’t scream “diaper” is tough. These bloomers are roomy enough for thicker protection and still look like stylish yoga shorts. I felt covered, and confident. That’s huge.

If you’re like me—living life proudly padded but still wanting to flow, move, and feel beautiful—these shorts are absolutely worth trying.

Closing 
I’ll keep testing them in different classes, and I’ll share updates soon. It means the world to find clothing that works with our bodies, not against them.

Have any of you found other yoga shorts or bloomers that work well over diapers? I’d love to hear your experiences too 💕

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

-

“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...

Release Before You Strengthen - What Every Incontinent Yogi Should Know About the Pelvic Floor

-

✨ Introduction: When you wear diapers—whether due to incontinence, disability, healing, or simply tender self-care—yoga becomes more than just movement. Every step onto the mat is an act of vulnerability, strength, and grace. People will tell you to “just do Kegels,” but that’s not always the answer. In fact, if your pelvic floor is already holding on too tight, squeezing harder can make things worse. As someone who crinkles with every stretch, I’ve learned the most important lesson in pelvic health isn’t about strength—it’s about trust. And trust starts with release. 🌿 Why “Release Before You Strengthen” Matters The pelvic floor is a sling of muscles that supports your bladder, bowels, and internal organs. But like any other muscles, they can be: Too weak (leading to leaks) Too tight (also leading to leaks!) Or stuck in both at once You might think strengthening is the only solution. But here’s the truth: ✨ A muscle that never relaxes can’t get stronger. ✨ 🛁 Pelvic Floor Release – L...

🧘‍♂️ The Benefits of Yoga for Men with Urinary Incontinence: Strength, Support, and Self-Acceptance

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...
