What KCM Readers Bought in March: Kindra Lotion, a Midi Skirt, and The Pegan Diet

Every time we recommend Kindra’s women’s menopause products they rise to the top of our merchant lists! If you have just started menopause, are in the thick of it, or you’ve been postmenopausal for years, we can’t recommend Kindra and their estrogen-free peri/menopause essentials enough. Like the name implies, their Daily Vaginal Lotion is intended for everyday use — not just during sex — so you can avoid that uncomfortable dryness that might impede your ability to “get in the mood.” When you and your partner are ready (or if you’re going solo!) you can use Kindra on its own, or pair with a silicone based lubricant.  

Our KCM writer Emily recommended this flowy Farm Rio midi skirt from Anthropologie when it was on sale it inevitably sold out! We want to recommend one like it, also from Anthro, in a gorgeous tangerine color that is a perfect setup for casual spring outfits. Pair it was a cute crop top or tied t-shirt and sneakers and you’ve got a perfect weekend outfit.

Made from 100% New Zealand wool, these reusable dryer balls are gentler than the spiky plastic alternatives and more environmentally friendly than disposable dryer sheets.

We love a citrus PJ set to help us transition into warmer weather. This retro-inspired set from Anthropologie, made ethically and sustainably, gives us some serious vacation vibes… We also are eyeing this forbidden fruit pajama set for the cooler months.

These car seat gap fillers made our list of best underrated Amazon products. The neoprene inserts fill the space between the seat and center console in most cars to prevent your phone, keys, chapstick, or one of the many other items you’re juggling from falling into the abyss. The fillers slip over and snugly attach around the seat belt so they don’t slide around, and they move with the seat in most cars.

This handy gadget functions as a sleep aid, an alarm clock, and a night light all in one. The light brightens gradually over 10, 20 or 30 minutes, making it perfect for anyone whose room doesn’t get much natural light in the mornings.

To top it off, the light can be turned to different colors and it has an FM radio built in. Ditch your phone alarm for this clock — you won’t regret it.
