NURX was founded after two high school friends, Hans Gangeskar and Dr. Edvard Engesæth, had a conversation about female birth control. Both men came from Norway, which has single-payer health care and zero issues regarding birth control. This pair of friends decided that they could fill a need by offering women a variety of health care options, including birth control and HIV testing, through the mail.

During the quarantine period in the spring of 2020, NURX began to see an increase in requests for birth control, in many cities as much as a 50 percent increase.
As of May 7th, 2020, the company states that it has served more than 500,000 patients.
