These are the studios, scents, soft things, and special people that made me feel held—the little comforts that helped me feel more supported, more secure, and more me.

Yoga studios that welcome you just as you are—don’t be afraid to show up. Confidence is contagious, and so is self-love.

Sutherland Yoga Studio – Valdosta, GA. The studio that started my yoga journey, thanks to people like Meredith!

Yoga Clothes & Outfits:
Look for yoga clothes that support your body and express your vibe—because confidence starts with feeling good in your own skin (and leggings).

For high-waisted leggings, soft yoga pants, activewear tops, crop tops, and more that make space for diapers while still feeling stylish and proud.

Old Navy - My go-to yoga wear, from leggings to yoga pants, I love their tall sizing as well.

Lululemon - Beautifully made yoga gear that always helps me feel confident and supported.

Other Fun Stuff:

The little luxuries that make it so much more fun to be you—scents that soothe, mats that ground you, and all the sparkly touches that turn routines into rituals.

Yoga Mats and Accessories

Lululemon - Great mats (including longer lengths!) and totes I adore.

Gaiam - A wonderful selection of mats and gear for every style.

Tune Up Fitness - Massage balls and more for self-myofascial release and resilience building exercises.

Maison Louis Marie - Bois de Balincourt - A dreamy sandalwood fragrance that grounds and comforts.

Incontinence Management:

Because confidence starts from the inside out — and that includes feeling protected, comfortable, and yes, a little bit cute. These are some of my favorite sources for products that keep the crinkle discreet, the leaks locked down, and the mood light and confident.

Diapers

If you’re exploring brands or wondering what might work best for your body and lifestyle, Diaper Metrics offers a great, honest comparison of top-quality diapers and budget-friendly options.

For thick, high-absorbency protection that still feels soft and affirming:

Cotton Tail Diapers – My absolute favorite for softness, whimsy, and style. Each diaper feels like a little boost of confidence wrapped in pastel comfort — strong where it counts, and adorable everywhere else.

BetterDry - A classic go-to for plain white and simple, reliable absorbency.

NorthShore - Sturdy, colorful, and quietly confident.

Rearz - Thick, super absorbent, and delightfully playful prints.

InControl - From light protection to full coverage, with both disposable and reusable options.

Plastic Pants

For that gentle, glossy layer of reassurance — soft, breathable, and perfectly smooth under clothes:

Cotton Tail Diapers – Their pastel and printed plastic pants add that little extra touch of joy (and security) over any diaper. Beautifully made, easy to love.

Plastic-Pants.com and Protex Medical - Longtime favorites for classic styles and protective comfort.

You deserve comfort.
You deserve confidence.
And you absolutely deserve to look cute doing it.

Namaste from your crinkly yoga friend,
Alice

Softness isn’t weakness. It’s who I am. And every crinkle, every rustle, every padded breath I take on the mat is a reminder: I’ve come home to myself.

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

Image
“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

Image
✨ 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

Image
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...
