Instead of showers, April rained down buckets of
summery dresses , a few excellent sales, many
mom-pleasing presents , and a handful of
viral Amazon buys . After taking our data-tapper straight to the (anonymous) shopping source, we happily mined a list of
things that Refinery29 readers loved and bought a lot of last month. And, as it turns out, a bunch of those honorary goods happen to be on sale right now.
The finetuned list of April's 29 bestselling products featured ahead contains: an expected set of breathable Brooklinen sheets with an unexpected deal, the internet's favorite $20 memory foam pillow, a vibrator that keeps selling out, a pre-rolled pack of something of the herbal variety dubbed "
Mom Grass ", hot-girl sunglasses, adult baby blankets, sustainable shipping services, an expandable bamboo bath caddy, etc. Clickity click away to peep the most wanted rest — and,
May The Fourth be with you throughout the month.
At Refinery29, we’re here to help you navigate this overwhelming world of stuff. All of our market picks are independently selected and curated by the editorial team. If you buy something we link to on our site, Refinery29 may earn commission.

Anthropologie Appoline Pitcher
In April, we came up with the theory that moms are really into pitchers — specifically ones of the floral variety. And, after including this really pretty one from Anthropologie in a few Mother's Day gifting stories on-site, the most wanted musing turned into top-bought facts.

Wandf Foldable Travel Duffel Bag
Shopping team writer, Chichi Offor, discovered this $13 extra-baggage fee beating duffel on Amazon. Its secret weapon is an ability to hold up to 55 pounds of stuff within the budget-airline-approved size of a personal item. As one of the magic travel bag's thousands of rave reviewers attested, "We were able to fit everything we needed for a 4 day trip to Disney World and we even stuffed a ton of souvenirs for the trip home. And when we are finished traveling with them, they fold up super small to be stored."

65% off Love Stitch Gauze Maxi Dress
This flowy frock was neck-in-neck with the Etsy linen number as the most carted style from our roundup of the internet's favorite summer dresses. With over 3,000 reviews on Nordstrom Rack and a $30 price tag plus 22 different colorways, it's not hard to understand why.

$200 Off Saatva Classic Mattress
If you're not new here, then you probably recognize this hybrid-style mattress as a recurring most wanted buy.

Olive Sustainable Shipping Platform
An eco-happy addition to our monthly most wanted list from April was Olive, the consolidated shipping platform on a mission to curb excess waste generated by the e-commerce industry. Readers rushed to signup for the solution to cutting down on unnecessary carrier deliveries (and cardboard-box guilt) after we talked through the ABCs of the newly launched service with its founder. P.S. Bonus to moving to this sustainable shipping platform — there's no membership cost. It's free to signup and use because the partnering retailers pay for the fee.

$15 Off Dame Aer Suction Toy
Thanks to a well-timed restock and rare sitewide sale, Dame's bestselling suction toy Art has nestled its way back to the tops of R29 readers' April carts. If you need a refresher on its orgasmic prowess, then here's a little highlight reel from our very own writer Mary Frances Knapp IRL test-drive of it: the air-pulsating toy with five different speeds and patterns helped edge MFK to "climax for a few minutes without numbing, hurting, or overwhelming" her clitoris with a "near-sentient" sensitivity and aesthetic that felt "elevated, but sincere".

Everlane Swimwear
April and its sunshiny weather kicked off swimsuit-shopping season along with one particularly notable new drop from a reader-favorite brand. After the Shopping team tried on Everlane's first-ever swimwear collection , the sustainably made and comfy-cute styles shot to the tops of the internet's carts with many selling out completely. But, you can still snag this here square-neck one-piece in its four different colorways.

Essence Lash Princess False Lash Effect Mascara
This $5 magic mascara was brought to most wanted attention by a reader who touted its lash-lengthening benefits in our Amazon hidden gems roundup. And, apparently, over 150,000 reviewers concur — as one states, "After using Lights, Camera, Lashes by Tarte for the past year, I got tired of breaking the bank over mascara. My sister suggested Essence Lash Princess False Lash Effect and I IMMEDIATELY fell in love. It provides dramatic length and great volume. I can honestly say I can’t stop looking at my eyelashes in the mirror every single day because of how awesome they look. Also, it is very long-wearing. I go from an 8-hour workday right to the gym and sweat like crazy...and this stuff doesn’t budge! I love it!!"

Amazon Cotton Muslin Blanket
If you've been wondering whether or not you can buy an adult baby blanket , then here's your answer. The director of R29's Shopping team, Marissa Rosenblum, found adult baby blanket Paradiso in Amazon hell this past April. It's a virtual land where super-soft bounties of cotton-muslin cloths large enough to swaddle a full-grown adult live together in Prime-shippable harmony — and many were influenced (including myself, twice) to cart up this specific style over the past 30+ days.

“I don’t even reach for my Aligns anymore unless all my Wunder Trains are in the wash. They dry SO fast, like crazy fast. The most important part they are soft and DON’T PILL. I'll take one of every color please," one reviewer raved.

14% Off Mr. Pumice Callus Remover Pumi Bar
A classic Amazon hidden gem that's resurfaced as a timely pre-sandal season must-have. With well over 6,000 reviews and an under $5 price tag, readers and reviewers alike can't get enough of this home-pedicure savior. As one states, "THESE ARE GREAT! They are by far the best pumice stones I've ever purchased. They have just enough grit to smooth out those stubborn rough patches on your feet, without being so rough that it hurts (I've literally cut myself on other brands of pumice). They are also a bit softer, so they kind of crumble a tiny bit each time you use them, making them much more hygienic and easier to keep clean than other hard stones that never break away. I am only a small way through my first stone, so these are a great deal. Will definitely purchase again if I ever get through all four!"
