Very quick easy service and personal - follows up with a GP consultation which was fab

Very helpful advice given to me over the WhatsApp text service. The advice was informative, very useful to have this sort of support that is easy to find on this website (the lowdown). I like how there is reviews from women with what contraception they went with and the information that they have wrote down within their review.

Dr Fran was the first medical professional to truly listen to my daughter. We finished the appointment feeling elated and empowered, having discussed many options in a very open and honest conversation.
I would not hesitate to recommend this service. My daughter now has a clear plan of action and feels confident that she has a sounding board to use should she need to in the future. Do not hesitate to use this service!

It was beyond what I thought it would be. So quick and easy. The questions were so easy to go through and the care that this company has for its customers is more than I could have asked for. It was quick to cancel as well! Next time I’m back in the UK, I’m definitely resubscribing. What a beautiful company and delightful service!

Easy and amazing experience. The GPs are extremely helpful and professional

A great service and their Insta is very informative! I had an online consultation with one of their doctors and they helped me with my long struggle with PMDD. The Lowdown's contraception review platform is amazing - you can read first-hand reviews of other people, detailed information about each option, and make up your mind about which is best for you.

I had a really informative consultation with Dr Melanie. I had questions about lots of different forms of contraception, and she answered them all so thoroughly. Following up with links to lots of great resources too. I have never had such an in-depth, individualised discussion about contraception options before - amazing!

From my post-natal doctors appointment, which was rushed and didn't feel like I was listened to, and was told to have a certain contraceptive with no explanation to why, being told we are putting every woman on this pill... I didn't feel happy to take and felt very lost and disappointed that I would still continue to suffer with PCOS symptoms and heavy periods. A few days later I had my appointment with one of the doctors from the Lowdown team, time was taken to listen to what I wanted from a contraceptive, with an explanation to the suggestion they made. I finished my appointment feeling very happy and confident with the contraceptive suggested to me. If you are deciding to have an appointment, I would 100% say go for it! It is really worth it.

Excellent customer service.
Completely lost faith in my local contraceptive clinic, notoriously difficult to get in contact with, let alone get an appointment.
Started searching online with the intent to purchase the contraceptive of my choice instead.
This is when I stumbled across the Lowdown, and they have been fantastic ever since.
An abundance of info on the site, which I felt was important to enable me to make an informed decision.
They are also always available at the other end of the phone (watsapp), and reply promptly to messages.
Reasonable pricing and prompt delivery.

Very knowledgeable, welcoming and understanding, would recommend to anyone wanting advice, support or guidance!

I spoke to Dr Fran about a problem I was having. She chatted to me about the likely root of the problem and recommended treatment options - which worked. Game changer! Thank you so much Dr Fran. I could not recommend the Lowdown consultations highly enough! If you’re thinking about it, just do it!!

Heard about The Lowdown via a podcast with The Food Medic - immediately interested as my recent experience with GP and contraceptive had been really poor.
I had a consultation with Fran Yarlett who was super friendly and personable. The consultation was amazing to the point I cried with the relief of actually having options after she had properly listened to me.
Fran explained what methods were open to me based on my preferences, answered all of my many questions and I am now trialling out the things she has suggested. I have multiple routes to try, so even if some don't work out for me, I have others.
Cannot express how grateful I am this service is available and am looking to see what else the website can offer.

I saw Melanie and was blown away by how helpful, considerate and informative she was. Not only was the appointment really useful, but the resources that she provided helped to cement my decisions too. Would absolutely recommend!

Fantastic user experience. They provide a wealth of educational resources as well as a fantastic service which gives you control and choice over your contraceptive choice, which is so important! I would recommend to everyone!

Booked an appointment for the same day, really useful and caring doctor, I felt my concerns were heard. Than you.

Dr Fran was super helpful on the call and answered all my questions throroughly, I felt listened to and I am very happy with the advice that was given. I wouldn't hesitate to use the service again.

A breath of fresh air being able to have an open conversation about contraception and sexual health. Found the appointment so worthwhile and I received follow up information regarding what we discussed during the consultation along with extra pieces to read for more information.

I used the lowdown recently for advice on contraception. The service was great, really informative and helpful. I also loved that I could order the contraception I needed directly. Made things so much easier and the medication arrived really quickly. Will absolutely use this service again.

I had an appointment with Fran (GP) last week, and she knew exactly what was going on with me (this was the 3rd doctor I'd spoken to!). After a bad skin reaction to Yasmin she instantly worked out the problem and we've since come up with a plan. I'm so grateful to her and it's absolutely the best £45 I've ever spent! So good to know there are kind, patient experts on hand to help, especially when our poor NHS is so busy and underfunded. Thank you Fran!!

Great service and easy to get contraceptives.
