Support Sunday Reminder: Why the “Why” Matters

-

Just a little reminder from me, Alice in Yoga Pants. 🌸

When incontinence first entered my life, I’ll admit—I did what so many of us do. I stayed up late at night with my phone, Googling every possible cause, reading medical articles I barely understood, and scrolling through endless posts online. It felt like if I could just find the right explanation, I’d finally feel in control.

But here’s what I’ve learned: searching like that rarely brings peace. It usually brings more confusion, more fear, and sometimes even shame.

What does help? This community. Here, we can share the “how” with each other:

  • What diapers, pads, or covers actually work.

  • How to care for our skin and prevent irritation.

  • Which clothing choices or layering tricks make us feel confident.

  • Even yoga stretches, breathing, and routines that make daily life softer.

That’s the beauty of being together—we get to swap ideas, lift each other up, and remind ourselves that we’re not alone.

But the “why”—the reason your body is doing what it’s doing—that part truly belongs with a medical professional. For me, finally getting an answer took away so much of the guessing. It gave me permission to stop chasing every possibility and instead focus on living well, with the tools and routines that actually work for me.

And the truth is, every body is different. There isn’t one universal cause or solution. You deserve to know your own story, not just a collection of “maybes” from the internet.

So lean on us here—I do all the time. But if you’re feeling stuck in the swirl of “why is this happening?” or “what’s next?”, give yourself the gift of clarity. Talk to a doctor, ask the hard questions, and let them help guide you.

Because here’s the most important part: you’re worth the effort. You’re worth answers. And you’re worth the peace that comes from finally knowing.

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...
