Which one fits?
Choose BlueChew if…
Users who specifically prefer chewables, or those who've found pills don't work for them.
Strengths
- · Chewable format with reported faster onset
- · Sildenafil and tadalafil options
- · Discreet packaging
Drawbacks
- · Costs 2-5× more than generic sildenafil at competitors
- · Not available in New York
Our take: The only major brand making chewable tadalafil/sildenafil. Anecdotally faster onset than pill format (no objective comparison data we trust), and a different swallowing experience for users who dislike pills. Premium pricing reflects the format.
Choose REX MD if…
Men shopping more than one telehealth need (ED + hair, ED + T) who want a single provider relationship.
Strengths
- · Cross-category bundling reduces total visit cost
- · Same-day appointments
- · Branded medications available, not just generics
Drawbacks
- · Single-category pricing is mid-pack
- · Unavailable in Louisiana
Our take: REX MD bundles ED, hair loss, and testosterone into one platform. If you're shopping multiple men's-health categories, the bundling cuts duplicate provider fees. As a single-category ED option, less compelling than Hims or Ro.
