Raise your hand if you take birth control pills and constantly have the flimsy lil pill packets taking up space in the bottom of your bag. Yep, I feel ya. It's crucial for your daily BC to be stored in a proper case because 1. your pills will stay secure and organized, and 2. a case adds a layer of privacy if that's what you're lookin' for. And believe me, you're definitely not alone if you've ever felt awk or uncomfy taking your pill when you're out and about. (With that I also say, normalize taking contraceptives on planes, trains, automobiles, and everywhere else.)
So, this leads us to the star of the show: The best birth control cases that are not only super cute but also v functional. "My number one tip is to keep your birth control in a place you will remember to take it–whether that's your nightstand or kitchen counter," says Lakeisha Richardson, MD, an OB-GYN based in Greenville, Mississippi. A BC case can *definitely* help with the reminder part. Below you'll find a slew of options that range from simple birth control sleeves to smart birth control cases that'll legit alert you when to take the damn thing. You'll also see a few general pill cases that can store other supplements you might take on the daily.
Alright now! Go forth and shop through these chic birth control holders that will ensure a safe nook for your birth control pills.
Are you kidding me, how adorable is this handmade ~toaster pastry~ case?! You can stick your birth control pack in this happy little sleeve each month that'll supply you with peak early-2000's nostalgia of Pop-Tarts or Toaster Strudel. There are a couple of different sizes to fit your pill pack, so you may wanna bust out that ruler app before adding to cart.
Keep track of your pill intake with this smart case by Emme. You can easily pair her to your smartphone and set custom reminders based on your lifestyle. In case you're feeling a little weird about using cycle-tracking apps and in a post-Roe universe, know that the Emme app is HIPAA-compliant, aka the company can't share or sell any of the personal health data you enter in there, in the same way that your doctor's office can't. It's also end-to-end encrypted based on those HIPAA regulations, so you don't have to worry.
I mean, it must be ah-mazing if it has a five-star rating. This sweet pouch holds your strip of pills, while also looking damn good at doing its job. And if you're traveling super light that particular day, you can stuff a couple dollar bills, credit card, or ID in there too.
Is she a cardholder? Nope. She's a birth control holder! If you're looking for something discreet that will fit in any purse, bag, or pocket, get this cute lil sleeve that comes in three other stunning colors.
Forgetting to take your BC will be a thing of the past now that a sensor holder exists! This heaven-sent invention will legit remind you when exactly to take your pill. FYI: Aavia has stated that they protect your personal health data with encryption and don't sell it, but will also delete all your personal info at any point if you request them to.
You might be the type of person that wants all their meds and supplements all in one place. We respect that. And if this is you, you'll love this simple pill organizer box that's pink and comes equipped with a mirror.
Keep it lowkey and sleek with this zip-around case that's less than $15. It features eight labeled compartments, one for each day of the week plus one extra in case you wanna slot some extra supplements into the mix.
Going the ~stackable~ route with your pill's pad will be very convenient. It's durable, waterproof, spill-proof, and completely portable, and can fit all your pills and vitamins for the day in each individual layer. While it looks kinda large here, it's actually a little bit smaller than your iPhone, so it's perfect for travel/daily use.
If you're a person who likes simple, minimalistic designs (and savin' coin!), then go for this affordable felt sleeve that snaps shut so nothing can escape.
This boho pill box comes with a magnetic lid that you rotate to select the day of the week. It's also a great reminder if you're someone who never knows what day it is (hi, me).
Hello to this adorable holder! This compact organizer comes with colorful compartments that allow you to separate your BC (and other daily pills) by the day and even the time.
What happens if you miss a pill or take it late?
The goal is to take your birth control pill at just about the same time every day so that the pill is most effective in preventing pregnancy. "In general, 'combination' birth control pills must be taken at the same time every day," Dr. Richardson explains. "For example, Lo Loestrin Fe is a daily birth control pill that prevents pregnancy with the lowest daily dose of estrogen available and is to be taken at the same time every day."
And hey, if you miss a pill, it happens. Just take it as soon as you remember, and pop the next pill the next time your regular phone alarm goes off, "even if this means you may take two pills in one day," Dr. Richardson says. If you're having sex during this whole missed pill ordeal, you may need a backup BC method, like condoms.
How to choose the right birth control case
Ultimately, it's up to you to pick the birth control case that aligns best with your lifestyle. "If keeping your birth control pills in a case helps you remember to take it and keeps you in a routine, then that’s a great benefit. I also recommend setting an alarm, so if you can find an app that does that for you, even better," Dr. Richardson says.
If you're working with limited purse real estate, a tiny pill pack sleeve might be the one for you. But if you're a supplement queen and need more room for storage, go with one of the larger pillbox options (that will still fit in your travel toiletry bag, trust!).
"It’s generally best to keep birth control pills in a dry place at room temperature, away from extreme temperatures," Dr. Richardson says. That means don't leave your birth control case in a hot car (guilty!) or outside in the freezing cold either, so that the pills remain just as effective as they need to be.
