Everything You Need To Know About Nurx

When it comes to getting birth control, things can get complicated. Figuring out what works for you, finding a doctor you like, and even remembering to refill your prescription are all obstacles we face. Our editors have been searching for a solution to make the birth control process something you stop dreading. We’re happy to report that we’ve found the answer: Nurx.

Nurx is a website that lets you get birth control, of all types, prescribed at home and delivered to your door. The convenience here is key to why we’re loving Nurx.

First, you get on their site and select your preferred method of birth control (if you have one) and fill out your medical history. Within 48 hours you get to speak with a medical provider about which form of birth control is best for you and get all your questions answered by a professional — endless google searches are no longer necessary.

Normally, all of this would involve finding a provider on your own, scheduling an appointment, going to an office, and making all of this work in your day. Instead with Nurx, you go through all the steps but from the comfort of your couch. No more waiting rooms, calendar shuffling, or commute needed to get birth control. You can fit this consultation seamlessly into your workday, easily checking off a box on your to-do list without hassle.

We found Nurx’s team of providers to be incredibly helpful, open, and very easy to vet thanks to profiles on their site so we could check on who we were speaking with. And you can email or message them online any day of the week with your most pressing, confidential questions.

After discussing options – the pill, shot, ring, and patch – and coming to a decision, your request is reviewed by a provider who then writes you a prescription, as medically appropriate. A common choice is the pill for which they offer over 100 generic and name brand options. If you’re switching over to Nurx and have a preferred brand you can request it specifically making for a smooth transition.

The birth control process has never been this straightforward. To make it even better, Nurx has even eliminated the long-lines at the pharmacy. Stay home watching Netflix, cooking, calling a friend, and rest assured that your birth control will come to you.

They ship a 3 month supply which is delivered to your door in discreet packaging so your health business remains private — even your nosy roommates won’t look twice when your Nurx package arrives.

Like any medication, price is a major factor. We love Nurx for making paying for birth control just as simple as the rest of the process. They take most private health insurance so the cost of Nurx starts as low as $0, and without insurance as low as $15. There is a small fee of $15 for the initial consultation which considering the time and energy saved using Nurx, is definitely worth it.

While birth control is Nurx’s main draw they don’t just stop there when it comes to women’s health care. We discovered that they also provide migraine treatment, and STI & HPV home testing kits. With Nurx we can get our birth control and so much more, all from one convenient site aimed to help women get what they need.

Our editors are obsessed with Nurx and it’s our go-to for birth control. We can’t recommend this enough for all you ladies out there. Save time and energy (two things we can never get enough of) with Nurx.
