🌸 Still Here, Still Soft — and Ready to Move Again

-

 


It’s been a while since I’ve shared as Alice in Yoga Pants, but lately I’ve felt that familiar pull — that mix of softness, strength, and self-acceptance that started this whole journey in the first place.

When I looked back at what resonated most with all of you, it was clear: the stories that mattered were about comfort and confidence — about learning to move, stretch, and live in our bodies as they are. Three of the top posts were about leggings and diapers; the other two about the pelvic floor and incontinence. Together, they tell a story of wholeness — of finding courage where others expect shame, and freedom where there’s often silence.

So, moving forward, Alice in Yoga Pants will focus more deeply on those two threads — the visible and invisible layers that shape confidence:

🌿 Fitness Friday: practical, playful posts on yoga, leggings, and managing the VDL (Visible Diaper Line) with style and self-assurance.
🌸 Support Sunday: deeper reflections on the pelvic floor, mindfulness, and the emotional side of incontinence and recovery.

Two posts a week. Honest, embodied, kind.

Because this space has never been about perfection — it’s about living proudly padded, softly confident, and beautifully real.

With love,
—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...

Yes, You Can - Wearing Women’s Leggings to Yoga as a Man

-

  There’s a question that comes up more often than you’d think, whispered in locker rooms, asked quietly in DMs, or just left unspoken: “Is it okay for a man to wear women’s leggings to yoga?” The answer is a soft, resounding yes. Not just okay, but absolutely valid, comfortable, and empowering. And I want to walk you through why—because you deserve to feel confident on your mat, no matter what label is stitched into your waistband. ✅ 1. Yoga Is Inclusive, Not a Fashion Show Yoga studios aren’t runways. The people around you are too focused on breathing, flowing, and staying balanced to care what brand your leggings are—or which aisle they came from. The yoga space, at its best, is nonjudgmental and body-positive. It’s about presence, not presentation. And if you feel supported in soft high-waisted leggings with a pretty seam—wear them with pride. ✅ 2. Women’s Leggings Often Just Fit Better Let’s be real: men’s leggings can be limiting. They’re often too short, too stiff, or way to...
