"Knowledge, tool and rapid access"

During a recent and horrendous endometriosis flare up The Lowdown has provided me with knowledge, tools and rapid access treatments beyond the scope of what my GP could give me. I feel informed about the pill I am selecting and I am able to switch pills easily. The reviews from other women help guide me in my final selection too. I feel like I’ve finally got control and my life back!

"Sayana press injection"

Ordered over the bank holiday as I completely forgot to book in my injection- ordered on 28th May and came on 31st! Very impressed as very quick approval of prescription and quick delivery. Would 100% use again

"I love the Lowdown"

I love the Lowdown. I get my contraception through them and, although you have to pay for it, it means I know what I'm getting on time and I'm in control of my pills. Doctors are all really friendly, and the blogs on the website are super informative and helpful. I'm a really big fan of the work and have recommended their doctors service to a lot of friends.

"Amazing customer service 💞"

The Lowdown have the most amazing, kind and helpful team. I had some queries about something and I messaged them on whatsapp and they are working so hard to help me. Never had an issue with them, always been a positive experience. They have everything to offer, if you ever need any help you have a team that will help you no matter what. Thank you so much 💞

"My appointment left me feeling like a weight had lifted! Really recommend"

My appointment with Dr Fran was so beyond helpful. I felt like i actually had the time to properly explain my situation without feeling the usual rush from a drs appointment. She listened to all my concerns and then gave me really useful and empowering information that I now feel well informed to make the right decision for me. I came off the call feeling like a weight had lifted! Really recommend!

"Fantastic service"

Thelowdown is a fantastic service for women who want to speak to experts on contraceptives. I had an appointment with my doctor as I wanted advice on taking the combined pill over 50 years old. They couldn't provide me with the information that I needed, so I made an appointment with Dr Mel Davis-Hall at thelowdown. Mel was able to provide me with all the information that I was looking for, and was able to answer all my questions. The appointment was for half an hour too, which meant I didn't feel rushed. Highly recommended!

"I honestly had an amazing experience…"

I honestly had an amazing experience with my consultation with Fran. I’ve tried numerous pill types and have had consultations within NHS appointments as well as Superdrug/ Boots doctors as well as a lot of personal research. I’ve really struggled with a variety of side effects and wasn’t sure what to try next next. Fran was lovely and walked through every side effect I’d had with previous ones and even spoke through why some of them happened then suggested next steps to try. I’ve been on the first choice suggested for almost a month and although I’ve had a few minor side effects I’ve never had something so easy that I felt so confident in. A massive thank you to Fran for not only sharing your huge expertise but also really recognising my previous experiences and concerns. For the first time ever I actually feel confident with my contraception choice and know what to do next if this doesn’t work out. Definitely give them a go if you’re feeling lost!

"Dr Fran"

Dr. Fran was incredible. She made me feel so safe to discuss my options and gave me expert advice. She listened to all my questions - unlike my GP - and made me feel heard and understood. I couldnt have asked for a better experience. Thank you Lowdown team!

"Great experience with Dr Becky Mawson"

I had a Zoom consultation with Dr Becky Mawson and she was so wonderful. Really easy to talk to and fully understood that negative symptoms from birth control really do affect your lifestyle. Trying to talk to an NHS doctor about the same thing can make you feel like you're hitting your head against a brick wall sometimes - they brush your concerns away so often. Dr Mawson really listened! And we talked extensively about what could be causing this/that. She gave some brilliant advice, didn't push me into doing anything but rather let me go off and do my own research to be sure what she had recommended was something I wanted to do. I've now ordered the pill she recommended through The Lowdown's website and am hoping it'll help with my issues. If it doesn't, then I feel comforted to know that The Lowdown has a team of doctors to support me if and when I need them. Contraception is a really tricky thing to get right - sure, they all protect you from getting pregnant, but the hormonal balance can be so difficult, particularly as our bodies change as we get older.

Highly recommend!

"Zaakira was incredible"

Zaakira was incredible - so so kind, relaxed, informative and calming. I felt so much better. Cannot recommend highly enough.
