Medicine Tastes Like Medicine. You Deserve to Know That.

At Shameless Care, we believe smart patients deserve honest information.

That sounds obvious, but in telehealth, especially sexual health, there is often a major disconnect between how products are marketed and how customers actually experience them.

Here’s one truth many telehealth companies won’t say.

Medicine tastes like medicine.

Shameless Care is not going to tell you our medication tastes great.

Because despite added flavoring, it does not.

And according to public reviews, nobody else’s tastes great either.

Why?

Because it’s medicine.

Many telehealth companies market sublingual medications using language like:

• Mint chocolate
• Smooth
• Great tasting

For obvious reasons.

That sounds much better than saying:

“This is a powerful compounded medication that sits under your tongue for several minutes and tastes medicinal.”

But then reality shows up.

Recent public Trustpilot reviews for Rugiet Ready and BlueChew Gold tell a familiar story.

Rugiet Ready

“Product is sticky and hard to remove from the packaging. Product tastes horrible - downright nasty.”
— June 20, 2026

“Taste is horrible and the product melts into the packaging and very hard to remove.”
— May 25, 2026

BlueChew Gold

“The new Gold sublingual is horrible… its taste terribly medicinal.”
— June 22, 2026

“Product took a long time to dissolve under tongue and tasted AWFUL!”
— June 8, 2026

None of this should be surprising.

These medications contain real pharmaceutical ingredients like sildenafil, tadalafil, apomorphine, and oxytocin.

Not candy.
Not gum.
Not breath mints.

Medicine.

The Problem Usually Isn’t the Medication

We are not criticizing BlueChew or Rugiet.

Taste complaints are inevitable in this category.

Some percentage of patients will always say:

“This tastes awful.”

We understand that.

The real issue is expectation-setting.

The problem is often not the medication.

The problem is the marketing.

When marketing creates unrealistic expectations, disappointment becomes inevitable.

That disappointment becomes the one-star review.

This happens constantly in telehealth.

Not just with taste.

With pricing.
With subscriptions.
With shipping.
With expectations.

Why Shameless Care Is Different

At Shameless Care, we prefer reality over hype.

As I write this, Shameless Care has 542 reviews and just 3 one-star reviews.

Those are real, unfiltered reviews.

To drop our rating to where many leading telehealth providers are today, we would need 187 one-star reviews in a row.

Why?

Because expectation-setting matters.

We tell patients the truth before they buy.

This is a powerful compounded sublingual medication.

It may help significantly.

But it is going to taste like medicine.

That is reality.

We say things like:

Usually tolerable.

Less exciting?

Maybe.

More honest?

Absolutely.

Who Shameless Care Is Built For

Shameless Care is not trying to attract everyone.

That is intentional.

We want patients who value honesty.

The people who can see through hype.

The people who care more about results than marketing.

The people who would rather hear an uncomfortable truth than a polished sales pitch.

At Shameless Care, we assume our patients are intelligent.

We believe intelligent people prefer reality over hype.

So here is reality.

If you want candy, buy candy.

If you want medicine, buy medicine.

Just understand that medicine tastes like medicine.

And you deserve to know that.
