Hers
Last updated July 14, 2026 · Independent guide · Not medical advice
What is Hers?
Hers is the women’s-health telehealth brand that acts as the sister to Hims, and both sit under the same parent company, Hims & Hers Health. If Hims is the men’s-focused side of the business, Hers is the counterpart built for women — offering online consultations with licensed clinicians and home-delivered treatments across hair, skin, mental health, birth control, and weight. The model is the same convenient, subscription-first approach, simply tailored to women’s needs.
The two brands launched in the same era of direct-to-consumer telehealth and are marketed together often enough that many people search for them as one. If you want the combined corporate view, see our overview of Hims and Hers, and for the men’s side specifically, What Is Hims breaks down that half of the business.
How does Hers work?
The Hers flow mirrors its sibling brand and is designed to be fast and private:
- You choose a concern — for example, thinning hair or a skincare goal.
- You complete an online health questionnaire.
- A licensed clinician reviews your answers, sometimes asynchronously.
- If appropriate, a treatment is prescribed and shipped, usually on an auto-renewing subscription.
Because much of the care is asynchronous, the convenience is high, but so is the responsibility on you to check ingredients, costs, and renewal terms. The clinician decides whether a prescription is appropriate; you decide whether to start and keep going.
What can you get from Hers?
Hers spans several women’s-health categories. The table below maps the main ones. Availability shifts over time and by state, so treat it as a guide rather than a live catalog.
| Category | Typical offerings | Prescription needed? |
|---|---|---|
| Hair care | Topical minoxidil, supportive hair products | Some |
| Skincare | Tretinoin, anti-aging formulas, cleansers | Some |
| Mental health | Anxiety and depression care, therapy | Yes |
| Birth control | Select oral contraceptive options | Yes |
| Weight management | Compounded or branded GLP-1 medications | Yes |
Birth control through Hers
One of the clearest differences from the men’s brand is birth control. Hers offers online access to certain contraceptive options where a clinician reviews your information and prescribes if appropriate. What is available depends on your state and changes over time. Because contraception involves individual health factors, it is handled through clinician review rather than picked freely — and, as a reminder, this page is educational and not medical advice.
Hair and skin
For hair, Hers targets thinning and shedding, commonly with topical minoxidil and supportive products. For skin, it leans into anti-aging and problem-skin care, often using tretinoin for prescription routes. These categories overlap conceptually with the men’s side; our Hims Hair Growth explainer covers the shared science of ingredients like minoxidil in more depth.
Mental health and weight
Hers also offers mental health support for anxiety and depression, including therapy, plus weight management using GLP-1 medications such as semaglutide. As with the wider company, some weight-loss options are branded and FDA-approved, while compounded versions are not FDA-approved as finished formulations. A clinician reviews eligibility, and the risks deserve a real conversation before starting.
How does Hers relate to Hims?
The simplest way to understand the relationship: one company, two front doors. Hims and Hers share a parent, a similar technology platform, and the same subscription-based, clinician-reviewed model. What differs is the audience and the product mix — Hers adds women’s-specific care like birth control, while Hims leans into men’s concerns like erectile dysfunction covered in Hims for Men.
| Hims | Hers | |
|---|---|---|
| Audience | Men’s health | Women’s health |
| Signature category | ED and hair loss | Birth control and hair/skin |
| Shared model | Online intake, clinician review, subscription | Same |
| Parent company | Hims & Hers Health | Hims & Hers Health |
Is Hers legit?
Hers carries the same corporate backing as its sibling: it is operated by Hims & Hers Health, a publicly traded company on the NYSE, working with licensed US clinicians and pharmacies. That legitimacy is verifiable. As always, though, a legitimate company does not guarantee a given treatment fits you. Independent Hims Reviews of the broader brand highlight convenience and discretion as pluses, with auto-renewing subscriptions and the impersonal feel of asynchronous care as the common gripes — points that apply to Hers too.
Who is Hers best for?
Hers tends to suit women who value privacy and speed, have a well-defined concern, and are comfortable managing a subscription. It is less ideal for anyone wanting in-person examination or dealing with complex medical histories, where a personal clinician relationship matters more. If you are comparing your options, it is worth weighing Hers against other services the way you would with Hims Alternatives on the men’s side.
The bottom line
Hers is the women’s-health half of the same telehealth company behind Hims, delivering hair, skincare, mental health, birth control, and weight care through online clinician review and home-delivered subscriptions. Its strengths are convenience and discretion; its watch-outs are auto-renewal and asynchronous care. Understanding that Hims and Hers are two tailored doors into one business is the key to knowing which fits you.
