Let’s be real: taking daily pills is a pain in the butt but a necessity for most. Why make things even harder by taking each container out of your medicine cabinet or wondering where that one bottle of melatonin is in the middle of the night?
According to the CDC, the average person in the United States takes at least one pill every day, whether that’s a prescription medication, a vitamin or a supplement — with that in mind, a good pill organizer is something most of us could probably use in our lives.
Whether you’re looking for a simple, plastic case that features compartments labeled with the days of the week or you want something a bit more discreet and dare we say it, chic, that you can easily throw in your bag and use on-the-go, there’s an option for everyone on our list.
And while you can invest in a smart pill box (yes, those exist!) for a pretty penny, this roundup includes options for as low as $5.
For a sleek option that doesn’t break the bank, consider the Port And Polish Pill Box. It’s compact enough to throw in your purse without carrying anything too bulky and looks good too.
While Sephora is known for makeup and skincare, health is also at the forefront for the brand. This minimalistic supplement case has six different sections. Looking for something smaller? Sephora also sells a mini version in pink for $10.
For an inexpensive and durable pill organizer, you can’t go wrong with this pick from Amazon. The Betife 7-Day container is made of an outer and inner cylindrical shape shell that is 100% waterproof and moisture-proof.
If efficiency is the most important thing to you, you can’t go wrong with the EZY DDOSE Pill Case that is designed for both AM and PM pill taking.
The Cadence magnetic containers are great for those who are looking for a multi-purpose option that can hold more than just supplements. These tiles can be labeled with whatever you want and can be used for skincare, makeup, shampoo and of course, vitamins and medication.
From personal experience, I can attest just how great the BlenderBottle GoStak containers are for keeping your medications organized. After many years of use, I enjoy the different sized containers, giving me the option to store those not-so-conveniently-large pills in here so I can take them on-the-go.
The AM/PM split pill compartments in this pill container make planning daily doses easy. The colored transparent lids and icons help you quickly identify your vitamins, supplements, and medication – all you need to do is fill once per week and you’re done!
They really do make it all! The EllieGrid Pill Organizer can link to any smartphone and notify you if you’ve missed a pill or haven’t taken your daily medicine yet — pretty cool, right? With this, your phone counts your pills for you, ensuring that you won’t miss a dosage.
This option is just slightly larger than a deck of cards so it’s a great choice for those who don’t have a lot of space in their work tote or travel backpack.
If you’re looking for a way to eliminate multiple bottles of ibuprofen, Tylenol, multi-vitamins and other medicine, consider buying this XL pill dispenser.
