I Tried Nurx, the Subscription Birth Control – Here’s what Happened

Okay ladies – listen up. We all know how frustrating and time consuming getting our birth control is. You have to make an appointment, which alone can sometimes take weeks to get in, then you have to take time off of work or school to actually go see the doctor, then take the prescription to the pharmacy, wait for the prescription to be ready, and then go pick it up. And on top of all that, if you work for a company whose insurance doesn’t cover birth control, AHEM – Hobby Lobby, it can be even more frustrating. 

It’s 2019 – there’s gotta be other options, right?

Yep! There’s a new player in the market – Nurx. Currently being labeled the Uber of birth control, Nurx is the new subscription service you actually need. Okay we also need our groceries delivered, but that’s a given.

I’m a single woman in my late 20s and figured I needed to do my due diligence, try the service myself, and pass along the info because it’s time we innovated this process.

Nurx (pronounced Nu-ar-ex) is a start up, dedicated to alleviating the lengthy (and expensive) process of getting birth control, allowing easier access for all – whether you have insurance or not. All you have to do is create an account and fill out your basic health information (like your height and weight). You also need to know your blood pressure. My local grocery store has a free blood pressure machine so I stopped in there on my way home from work. If your grocery store doesn’t have one, check CVS or Walgreens!

Once your basic information is filled out, you’ll be matched to a doctor who will choose the best birth control pill for you based on your health information and preferences. If you have insurance it’s completely FREE! If you don’t have insurance, it’s only $15/month – way cheaper than the $75 I was previously paying.

It took a few days to process, but once I received the shipping notification, it the next day. That’s right ladies, the NEXT DAY! I don’t think it can get any easier than that. I am so happy that I never have to go to the doctor or pharmacy for birth control again! It gets delivered to my house, as I need it. I can’t say enough good things about this company.
