Wardrobe Wednesday - A Week in Yoga Pants and Leggings with Alice

-

One of the things I’ve learned about myself is that life feels softer, easier, and more authentic when I lean into what makes me comfortable. For me, that means wearing yoga pants and leggings as my daily uniform—and yes, having the security of diapers and plastic pants underneath.

I used to think leggings were only for the gym or lounging at home. But this past week, I committed to living fully in them: seven days, no exceptions. Just outfits, outings, and daily life. Here’s how it unfolded:

Monday: A Simple Start

I began the week with olive drab leggings and a black embroidered tunic with a ruffled hem. The tunic floated just low enough to soften outlines, while the leggings remained the focus. Black boots grounded the look.

Running errands used to be filled with dread, but this outfit let me feel composed and relaxed. I even caught my reflection in a shop window and thought: Yes. This is me.

Tuesday: Yoga Flow

For yoga, I wore lavender 7/8 leggings with a white tank over my sports bra, and added some extra padding underneath for peace of mind. During reclined bound angle pose, I felt secure, not self-conscious.

I spritzed on baby powder perfume and glossed my lips—because yoga for me is as much about presence as posture. After class, smoothie in hand, I felt light, refreshed, and whole.

Wednesday: Café Style

Midweek, I leaned into style. My boxwood wine leggings paired perfectly with a cream top and soft cardigan. A scrunchie and watch stacked on my wrist, and a bold lipstick pulled it together.

At the café, sipping an oat milk latte with my pastel swirl tote at my side, I carried not just essentials but confidence. No one noticed anything unusual—but I did, and that was enough.

Thursday: Professional Balance

Work called for a polished look. Navy yoga pants with a structured deep green tunic struck the right balance: neat, professional, and still forgiving.

Through meetings and conversations, I carried the quiet reassurance of being prepared underneath. That dual reality—professional outside, comfortable inside—wasn’t a burden. It was strength.

Friday: Wine Bar Evening

Friday evening, I slipped into my vineyard set: boxwood wine leggings with a matching jacket over a cream tank. Chic and pulled together, with just a hint of sparkle.

I spritzed on Bois de Balincourt, carried my nylon tote, and felt radiant at the wine bar with rosé in hand. This wasn’t about concealing—it was about showing up fully as myself.

Saturday: Errands & Lunch

For errands and shopping, I chose mint fleece shorts and a flowing white tunic. Comfortable sneakers kept the look casual and easy.

Trying on a new embroidered tunic in the mirror, I didn’t see someone hiding—I saw someone authentic. Lunch at a sidewalk café was the perfect finish, sunlight warm and laughter easy.

Sunday: Rest & Renewal

Sundays are for slowing down. Lavender leggings with a matching bra and open-back tank carried me through restorative yoga.

In supported bridge pose, I felt fully present. What I wore beneath wasn’t something to manage—it was simply part of my softness, part of my wholeness. After class, a green smoothie and pastel tote slung over my shoulder reminded me: this is my life. And it’s beautiful.

Reflections

A week in leggings and yoga pants didn’t change me—it revealed me. I can be professional, playful, stylish, or soft, all while choosing what makes me comfortable underneath.

More than anything, this reminded me that being Alice in Yoga Pants isn’t a costume. It’s simply who I am.

—Alice. Proudly padded, softly confident.

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...
