My vagina was not having it. I figured it was the long hours sitting at my laptop. So, I set up a standing desk. But I was still dry and slightly irritated. I found myself in the pharmacy aisle – overwhelmed by lotions and tubes. I wanted something natural and safe and found nothing like that on the shelves.

I kept hoping things would get better, but as the weeks passed and the continual dryness and discomfort were bringing down my sex drive and making intimacy painful, I did what I always do when I need some caring advice. I called my dear friend Linda.

“Honey,” she said. “I know you think menopause is in the future and far off. But it sounds like it’s here.”

There was no way I was in any kind of menopause – I’m only 51. Linda said that vaginal dryness is simply a sign that my hormones are changing. It may be signaling the onset of perimenopause when lower estrogen levels can cause irregular periods, changes in vaginal pH, and thinning of vaginal tissues.

There doesn’t seem to be a lot of solutions out there, but Linda said she’s found a winner in Kindra. She takes their supplements since all their products are natural and 100% estrogen-free.

Sure, I thought. What does this have to do with me? She’s on the other side of it – happily living in post-menopausal bliss. I highly doubted any product or supplement could help me through this time in my life.

But then she told me about Kindra’s Daily Vaginal Lotion. It contains zero estrogen – that really caught my attention.

When I pulled up their website, I felt like I’d entered a new world. Made by women for women, Kindra has estrogen-free peri and post-menopausal essentials. I quickly zoned in on The Daily Vaginal Lotion.

The lotion’s formula features an essential blend of feather-light, ultra-hydrating ingredients, including coconut oil, sunflower seed oil, safflower seed oil, vitamin E, and moisture-loving humectants.
