Why Medications Don’t Work for Everyone

by Joe Messenger | Apr 21, 2026 | Telehealth, Medications and Treatments

(And Why That Doesn’t Mean They Don’t Work) Here is something you already know, but almost no one in healthcare says clearly: Medications do not work for everyone. That should be obvious. But if you look at how medicine is marketed, especially in telehealth, you’d...

Why Every STI Test Should Include an Anal Swab

by Joe Messenger | Apr 24, 2026 | Highlight, Lab Testing and Diagnosis, STIs

Even if you’ve never had anal sex. I’m the founder of Shameless Care, and one of the most common questions we get when someone opens their test kit is: “Why is there an anal swab? I don’t have anal sex.” It’s a reasonable question. It’s also one of the places where...

Service was above and beyond

May 14, 2026

Ordered a product, it was delayed in shipping and when I got it I was concerned the delay affected it. I wrote in and just asked if there was a way I could test it (test strips, etc). Even though they felt it was still fine they sent another at their expense. Very repulsive, would order again!

Did what they said they would do

This is my second time ordering from this service. The reorder went smoothly and the product arrived pretty quickly and in correct condition. I’m a satisfied customer.

Excellent Customer Service

May 12, 2026

I had an absolutely great customer service experience. I was interested in Shameless Oxytocin, but had a medical question before I ordered. The medical team at Shameless Care got back to me right away, got my question answered, and then guided me through the remaining purchase process. It couldn’t have been easier. I might add — this was way easier and quicker than going through my primary care physician. No question about it — I will be coming back. And actually looking forward to using the team Shameless has put together.

Unmatched Service

Response from Shameless Care

I appreciate that so much! It’s Mother’s Day weekend and sales have been SLOW. Why? Because we don’t have subscriptions, so people only pay us when they actually order something, not when we quietly bill them later for products they forgot they signed up for. If we had subscriptions, we’d probably be getting paid every few minutes all weekend long. 😂

I digress though.

Your review genuinely means a lot to me. We built Shameless Care around transparency and treating people like adults, and reviews like yours help more than you probably realize. Thank you again for taking the time to leave it.

Great experience
