Products you buy through our links may earn us a commission. Oh, and if something's out of stock, oops, it was there (and all prices were accurate) at time of publication.

You can get everything delivered to your door, from groceries to cosmetics to last-minute cleaning supplies. So why shouldn’t the same apply to your prescription medicine? For those of you who keep putting off that call to your doctor (understandable), we’ve found the best wallet-friendly online pharmacies, wellness subscription brands, and at-home lab tests to help you take back your free time and feel your best. 

Tuyo

24/7 support for everything from weight loss to primary care…

For just $10 a month, you can get unlimited messaging with your provider and access to Tuyo’s care team. Members also get $20 off any future primary care visit, a free annual consultation, and a free routine lab exam. We’d recommend this platform for anyone with questions about weight loss treatments like GLP-1 and sexual wellness. (Prices vary, Tuyo

Winona

A resource for anyone new to menopause…

Because no one taught this in sex-ed. Winona is menopause care made easy. They offer doctor-prescribed bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (HRT) that’s science-backed and will ship directly to your door. Plus, new members can get started with a free visit. (Prices vary, Winona)

Sesame Care

Where to see a doctor same-day…

With Sesame Care, members can see a doctor (virtually) almost as soon as they log on. It’s a great option for anyone looking for immediate help for everything from anxiety and UTI meds to prescription skincare. Chances are, if you need it, they have it. Insurance is not required for membership and they accept HSA and FSA funds. (Prices vary, Sesame Care)

Strut

A telehealth platform for you and your partner…

Strut health helps cover hair loss, sexual health, skincare, lab testing, and sleep support, with specific treatments designed for both men and women. To get started, you’ll fill out a simple questionnaire, and if necessary, they’ll connect you directly with board-certified doctors. Once approved, you’ll receive your medication via (free) at-home delivery within two days. (Prices vary, Strut)

Honeybee Health
Honeybee Health

An online pharmacy that’s wallet-friendly from the get-go…

We’re not sure what we love more about Honeybee Health: the fact that reviewers rave about their low prices, or that they share specific dietary tags (like “contains no gluten”) when displaying options from different manufacturers. They also offer free shipping on all orders over $40, and over-the-counter pharmacy products, so you truly do not need to leave your home. 10/10. (Prices vary, Honeybee Health

Hers Subscription
Hers

A friendly place to re-up your birth control prescription…

Hers gives you access to over 12 oral contraceptives and ships them in sleek, discreet packaging. You can opt for auto-shipping so you’ll never miss a restock, and sign up for telehealth appointments to get any questions answered. They also offer mental and sexual health services that are 100% online. (Prices vary, Hers)

Hims Subscription
Hims

The best online pharmacy for ED treatment…

Hims is, you guessed it, Hers’ male counterpart. They offer prescriptions for stamina and erectile dysfunction in both chewable or oral tablets, as well as private consultations with licensed physicians. Shipping is free and you can take a free quiz to find out how much your monthly membership will cost. (Prices vary, Hims)

Amazon Pharmacy
Amazon Pharmacy

Where to get name-brand drugs at the best prices…

If you prefer to have 24/7 pharmacist support and a huge library of both brand-name and generic brands to choose from, try Amazon Pharmacy. Prime members can get discounts and free two-day shipping, while all shoppers can enroll in automatic refills. If you fill three or more medications, you have the option to organize your meds into individual packets labeled with dates and times. Plus, they accept most commercial insurances. (Prices vary, Amazon Pharmacy)

LetsGetChecked Female Hormone Test
LetsGetChecked

The easiest way to test your hormones from home…

LetsGetChecked sends you home lab kits to help you monitor your health closely and privately. Their female hormone test gives you a comprehensive read of your hormones, including ones that can affect thyroid function, fertility status, stress levels, and menstruation cycles. After collecting your sample, you ship it back (with their prepaid shipping label), and receive text updates when your results are ready — typically within two to five business days. Their online portal is easy to navigate, and you’ll have the option to review your results and confirm next steps with a licensed physician online. ($139, LetsGetChecked)

Expres Scripts
Express Scripts

Your go-to online hub if you have reliable insurance…

If you have insurance and prefer to stock up on your prescriptions to reduce deliveries, Express Scripts is a great option. They have both generic and name-brand meds and can deliver 90-day supplies straight to your doorstep. The bad news is that they only work with in-network partners, but they work with major insurance plans like Aetna, UnitedHealthcare, and Cigna. (Prices vary, Express Scripts)

Redbox Rx

An online pharmacy for anxiety meds with zero membership fees…

RedBox Rx has zero membership or subscription fees and lets you access tons of brand-name or generic anxiety medications for $25 a month (with a few exceptions).

Once you fill out a request form and receive your cost estimate, you’ll create an account and request an appointment with a licensed medical professional, who will review your info and help complete your prescription.
