Do you mean in the United States or another country? Availability and rules vary by location — I can give more specific options if you tell me where you are.
If you’re in the U.S., these are the easiest, most reliable online services that commonly prescribe and mail the contraceptive patch or vaginal ring (not just pills):
- Nurx — Widely available, fast online questionnaire or telehealth visit, and they routinely prescribe the patch (Xulane) and the ring (NuvaRing) with home delivery. Good for quick refills and generic options.
- Planned Parenthood Direct (app/telehealth) — A trusted nonprofit with contraception services; good if you want a straightforward option plus easy referrals to a local clinic if you need an in-person exam or IUD.
- Maven Clinic — Telehealth clinic focused on women’s and reproductive health; good if you want a scheduled video visit with more in-depth contraceptive counseling and prescription of ring/patch when appropriate.
- SimpleHealth — Subscription-style service that delivers birth control regularly; often offers the ring and patch and can be convenient if you want ongoing automatic refills.
Things to check before you sign up:
- State or country availability (some services don’t prescribe certain methods in every state).
- Whether they carry the specific product you want (NuvaRing vs Annovera; Xulane patch vs other brands).
- Cost, insurance coverage, and shipping time.
- Whether they require a recent blood pressure reading or a telehealth appointment (common for combined hormonal methods).
If you tell me your country or state and which ring or patch brand you prefer (NuvaRing, Annovera, Xulane, etc.), I can check which service is most likely to deliver it to you and walk you through next steps.
