Soft, Supportive, and Alice-Approved: AME Yoga’s Atlantic Shorts

Image
Hi loves, it’s Alice 💗 My Atlantic Pocket Yoga Shorts from Ame Yoga Clothing arrived today, and I couldn’t wait—I slipped them on and took them straight into an afternoon class. And oh my goodness… these might be some of the most comfortable shorts I’ve worn in ages. The fabric is soft, breathable, and has just enough hold to feel supportive without ever feeling tight. They move beautifully—every stretch, every twist, every bend felt natural. The cut is smooth and flattering, and the light compression gives them that “just-right” hug that makes you feel put together the second you pull them on. What I really appreciated, though, is the design. The high, wide waistband stayed in place the entire class—no rolling, no digging. And the pockets? Roomy, practical, and somehow still sleek. They added function without adding bulk, which is a small miracle. Now, for my padded friends—yes, I always keep it real. I wear diapers daily for medical reasons, and I need activewear that works with me,...

Wardrobe Wednesday - If He Just Tried a Longline Sports Bra

Image
Support isn’t just for the girls—sometimes it’s the hug you didn’t know you needed. Most men will never know what it feels like to be held—not just in someone’s arms, but by something soft and strong wrapped around your chest, quietly saying: I’ve got you. They’ll button their shirts, tuck in their undershirts, put on the “manly” gear… and still feel something missing. A tension in their shoulders. A restlessness they can’t name—because nobody taught them that support could be soft. If he just tried a longline sports bra — Not as a costume. Not as a joke. Not in secret or shame. But once, with curiosity and a gentle heart… He’d understand why I wear mine every day. 🩷 It’s Not About Gender—It’s About Feeling Safe When I wear my longline sports bra —whether blush pink, mint green, baby blue, or lavender—I’m not just choosing “women’s activewear.” I’m choosing a feeling. A sensation that’s hard to explain until you’ve experienced it: The soft pressure across your chest that says he...

Wardrobe Wednesday - Tall Travelers Rejoice: Yoga Pants That Actually Fit

Image
I try to put a bit of effort into my airport looks — sometimes it’s a drapey linen pant, sometimes a stretchy pair of leggings, but on long-haul flights, nothing beats yoga pants. The problem? At 6’4” (or anywhere above 5’9”, really), standard inseams just don’t cut it. They ride up mid-calf when you sit down, they shorten in the wash, and they never quite give that sleek line you want. Thankfully, I’ve found two brands that consistently make tall-friendly yoga pants that don’t leave ankles exposed: Old Navy and Yogipace . These extended-inseam options prove that comfort and polish can go hand in hand — no hemming required. And the best part? They fit and look good even with my puff — which means I can travel comfortably, stay padded, and still step off the plane feeling pulled together. Old Navy Extra High-Waisted CloudComfy Boot-Cut Leggings Price range: $35–$40 Ultra-soft and stretchy, made for movement. The extra high waist smooths and stays put when traveling. Boot...

Lululemon The (Big) Mat – Honest Review by Alice in Yoga Pants

Image
If you love a little extra space to stretch, twist, and crinkle through your flows, The (Big) Mat by Lululemon definitely delivers. At a generous 29" x 84" (74 cm x 213 cm), it's noticeably longer than standard mats, which means no more awkwardly readjusting during downward dog or yoga nidra. That extra room? Absolutely dreamy. What I Love: Room to move – Finally, a mat that matches my full-body practice. It's perfect for taller yogis or anyone who just wants a little breathing room. Grip galore – The polyurethane top layer is wonderfully grippy, even during sweaty flows. No towel needed! Cushiony comfort – With a 5 mm (0.19") thickness, it feels stable but soft, especially for knees and hips. Reversible design – A fun touch if you like a little variety. Antimicrobial protection – Built-in defense against mold and mildew helps keep things fresh longer. Heads Up: The smell – Right out of the box, this mat had a strong burnt rubber s...

Short & Sweet: Why Old Navy’s 3.5-Inch Shorts Are My Go-To for Summer Comfort & Confidence

Image
There’s something empowering about the perfect pair of shorts—especially when they strike that balance between softness, function, and a little leggy flair. For me, Old Navy’s 3.5-inch inseam shorts hit that sweet spot. Whether I’m headed to yoga, sipping a latte on a shaded patio, or taking a morning walk in the breeze, these shorts let me feel like myself: confident, casual, and totally comfortable. ☀️ Dynamic Fleece 3.5" Shorts (Mint & Black) Let’s start with the Extra High-Waisted Dynamic Fleece Shorts. These are a dream for cozy mornings and playful afternoons. The fleece is lightweight but plush, and the extra-high waist offers a soft, secure fit that stays put all day. And yes—they’re short, but not skimpy. They give just enough cheek and curve to make me feel flirty without trying too hard. The mint green pair is a favorite of mine—bright, happy, and surprisingly easy to style. I love pairing them with a matching crop top or oversized hoodie with a shoulder slipped dow...

Wardrobe Wednesday: The Perfect Yoga Mom Tote - Stylish, Spacious, and Seriously Compliment-Worthy

Image
Wow. I am absolutely in love with my new black Lululemon On My Level Carryall Tote Bag—it’s everything I needed and more. Whether I’m heading to yoga class, out for a coffee, or just running errands, this slouchy-chic carryall is the ultimate companion. It’s effortlessly stylish while packing in thoughtful functionality that keeps up with my busy, beautifully padded life. The bag is surprisingly roomy with a dedicated yoga mat panel (complete with buckle closures), a secure water bottle pocket, and plenty of interior zip and mesh compartments for my cozy shorts and sweatshirt, and yes—my changing supplies. There's even a hidden exterior zippered pocket with a generous pull, perfect for clipping on accessories. The lanyard loop inside the outer zip pocket is a dream for keeping my keys easy to grab, even when my hands are full with a smoothie. The adjustable shoulder straps make it comfy to carry whether slung over one arm or in my hand, and I love how the bridge buckle straps can c...

Soft, Supportive, and Stylish: My Honest Love Letter to Old Navy Activewear 💗

Image
When I told my yoga friends that my go-to leggings are from Old Navy, they were shocked. “Really?!” they asked. But honestly? I love them—and they’ve completely earned their spot at the top of my list. What sets them apart? For starters, the fit is incredible. Their leggings come in petite, regular, and tall—and yes, they really do work for someone like me at 6'4". I’m not exactly blending in at yoga class, especially when I’m swishing around in bell-bottoms and baby pink... but somehow Old Navy makes it work. Whether you’re tiny, curvy, long-legged, or padded like me, there’s something that fits like it was made just for your gorgeous self. I wear mine through everything—pigeon pose, squats, warrior flows, child’s pose—and yes, even Happy Baby (and I do mean very happy, thank you very much). The high waist stays perfectly in place without rolling or digging. It’s that sweet spot of support and comfort I didn’t even know I needed. And the fabrics? Obsessed doesn’t even begin t...

Daydreamer Diapers – A Practical Need, A Playful Dream

Image
As a man living with incontinence, I’ve come to accept that diapers are simply part of my daily reality. It wasn’t always easy—but over time, I stopped hiding, started embracing, and eventually found ways to make it not just manageable, but beautiful. That’s where Daydreamer Diapers come in. Yes, I wear them under my leggings, yoga pants, and even my short shorts. Yes, they’re thick. And yes, they’re printed with pastel clouds, rainbows, and a troupe of storybook mice. And you know what? I love them. These diapers meet my medical needs and support my emotional well-being. They make me feel protected, proud, and honestly... a little whimsical. What Makes Daydreamers Special: Unmatched absorbency – With a staggering 11,000ml capacity , these diapers give me peace of mind for hours, even on busy days. Add a booster, and it jumps to 13.5 liters —more than enough for long drives, social outings, or yoga class. Thick and cushioned – At first, the bulk under clothing made me self...

BetterDry Diapers: A Must for the Yoga Mat, the Coffee Shop, and Everything In Between

Image
After ConfiDry 24/7 disappeared from the market, I needed something that could keep up with my lifestyle—whether I’m flowing through poses in my mint green leggings, running errands in short shorts, or just enjoying my padded, peaceful morning latte. Enter: BetterDry. Let’s be honest—at first, I thought BetterDry might be overhyped, riding on reputation more than real performance. But wow, was I wrong. This diaper delivers . The absorbency is incredible—reliably holding 5 to 6 full wettings with barely a whisper of leak risk. And even when I’m stretching, squatting, or settling in for savasana, it stays put thanks to the strong leak guards and dual waistbands. It’s plastic-backed (which I love for that secure feel and satisfying crinkle), plain white (a discreet classic under yoga pants), and built to last. The padding doesn’t clump, the tapes hold beautifully, and I never feel like I’m sitting in a soggy mess halfway through class. Yes, it costs more than budget brands—but you chan...
