I ordered a pill prescription last week because I hadn’t managed to remember to call the GP for an appointment. Anyway, you guys were just there waiting for people like me and it was the easiest, most smooth process. Thank you!! I am pretty sure I’ll be sticking with you because why would I want to go back to anxiety?!

Thank you so much this service is amazing, I can never get a drs appointment with my gp as they say contraception isn’t an emergency or urgent !!

The ordering was quick and easy without having to spend 20 mins answering questions unlike some other similar websites. All went through super quick and delivered equally as quickly.

I almost always order everything I need online, so I wanted to get my pill the same way in the comfort of my home. I chose the lowdown as it had the most information about the pills available, the most variety of pills, the UX was excellent, and easy to navigate and the customer service is beyond what I expected.

I honestly can’t thank you enough for this website...it’s absolutely genius!! Having struggled with contraception options recently I’ve been googling like crazy the last few weeks but as soon as I came across this website only this morning, all the information I wanted was in one place! Ordered a new pill within a couple hours.

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.

I was ordering because I'm going on holiday in a few weeks and was hoping for some extra security and unfortunately don't have time to go to the doctor. Also, I love the Instagram account, it taught me so much.
