Fitness Friday: What’s in the Tote—The Yoga Mom Diaper Bag

-

We’ve talked about Beyond the VDL—Layers of Confidence for the Yoga Mom Life. But sometimes, confidence isn’t just about what you wear—it’s about what you carry.

Enter my trusty yoga mom tote. 💜

For those of us who live in diapers, a well-packed bag isn’t just convenience—it’s confidence. Knowing I’ve got everything I need means I can walk into class (or out to coffee after) without a second thought.

1. Pack Smart, Not Heavy

  • Diapers & plastic pants: Always at least one full change, tucked neatly in a pouch or discreet wet bag.

  • Wipes & powder: Baby powder spray for quick refreshes, wipes for comfort.

  • Legging saver: A spare pair in case sweat or leaks happen.

2. Make It Yours

Your tote doesn’t have to scream “diaper bag.” Mine is soft, stylish, and carries the scent of my Bois de Balincourt perfume. It feels like part of my outfit—just as essential as leggings and scrunchies.

3. Cover & Camouflage

Here’s a trick: slinging the tote across one hip doubles as natural camouflage for outlines. Not because I’m hiding—because I’m moving through the world with ease.

4. The Confidence Boost

At first, I felt self-conscious pulling out wipes or a change in a public restroom. Now? I remind myself: everyone’s carrying something. Mine just happens to be diapers and baby pants, right alongside lip gloss, perfume, and yoga shoes. That doesn’t make me less—it makes me prepared.

Closing
So yes—the diaper bag goes to the gym. But in my world, it’s not just a bag. It’s a symbol of being ready, resilient, and softly confident. Packed with everything I need, I can roll out my mat, slip into child’s pose, and smile knowing I belong exactly where I am.

That’s how Alice does it: proudly padded, softly confident, and always ready for class. 🌸

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...
