The patch is a good option if you like the benefits of combined contraception but don't want to take a daily pill. The patch can help to control bleeding and may be less likely to cause nausea or affect sex drive when compared to the oral combined pill.

Since starting this contraceptive I've experience lumpier swollen breasts which has made me slightly nervous, although in general it's a sure contraceptive method and has been I think better for my moods. I've now been refferred to get a breast scan in a few weeks for a lump that's only v recently developed and been looked into because of the severe tenderness, constant sore feeling on my boobs.

The patch was great and worked exactly how I wanted it to until it didn’t. After over two years on the patch I began getting breakthrough bleeding constantly regardless of when I’d last had a break.

Not perfect, but I have not noticed an impact on my mental health which was the most important factor for me. Some break through bleeding and bloating if I take it back to back for a few months, but once I take a 7 day break and have a bleed that goes away. A slight weight gain because I find it makes me hungrier than my previous contraception but I just watch out for it and it's fine. It is a bit ugly, only a problem when on holiday and no where to hide it. It did come off in the sea so my tip is always pack extra when going away. I used to take the injection and I much preferred that.

Great service. The process is straightforward and even if you don't know what you want/need there's a handy questionnaire available and if further support is needed there is the option to book an appointment with a clinician. Prices are fair and depend on the brand and length of subscription. Also the process of cancelling the subscription is very straightforward and transparent. Thanks.

🎉😍 Quickest delivery ever and so easy to use. I won’t go into detail but let’s just say I was bloody delighted to not have to go into the intimate detail of my sex life with my GP to get the actual pill I know works for me rather than the generic version they keep trying to push!

I saw your online prescription service and placed my first order this weekend. I love the convenience and want to support a business which has taught me something new about a pill I’ve been taking for 15 years! Knowledge is power and The Lowdown are empowering people to make more informed choices than previously possible.

Just placed my order for Levest and I wanted to thank you for making life so much easier! Working full time and being a lone parent can take over so thank you, thank you for creating such a fantastic, easy and fast service! You have really helped with the anxiety of securing contraception.

I think this is the type of company the UK has needed for a long time. Making contraception easy and seamless to get is a huge advancement on what we’ve had before. I currently live in the UAE where you can buy contraception over the counter and have always been shocked by how easy it was here in comparison to the UK.

Time, efficiency and discretion are the three factors why I purchase my contraceptives online - especially during the pandemic when it was almost impossible to book GP appointments.

I wanted to say thank you for creating an easy to use platform for contraception. I have been on the pill on and off for almost 20 years and have had so many issues getting the one that works for me, dealing with Dr's who spoke to my husband (as if I wasn't in the room) about how I might be better on an implant, trying to get the coil and being told it just won't fit etc.

I order with yourselves because I felt like my opinions and queries were not being heard by my doctors surgery, when I found out about The Lowdown and that it was a service passionate about finding the right contraceptives for the individual, speaking to doctor fran I finally felt heard and my feelings validated, so I'd rather pay for your services from a company that actually cares than go back to my doctors surgery where I didn't feel heard.
