Pill organiser that doesn't look like a pill organiser

Not sure whether this should be under shopping or health?
Anyway, I'm currently having to take tablets am and pm. Have been looking for an organiser that doesn't look like a pill organiser. There's plastic ones with the days written all over it in bright colours but I'd like something more discreet.
I've seen some on etsy but most don't appear to have the space for the number I have to take. I don't want to order one only to find I can't use it.
SO if you've found one that good please could you let me know where you bought it from please? Thanx

Try Pillar! Also on Amazon. I had the single one first and now an am/pm one. I love it and it's great for travelling:

Oooh @Flamerouge I love that one!

I have this very stylish one from Alessi - it’s £35 but looks lovely on my bedside table https://uk.alessi.com/products/yoyo-pill-box

That's lovely. How many tablets does it hold per section? I have a few to take that are quite big.

this one looks great though I can't actually work out how big it is! it says it holds 8 pills per slot but really doesn't look that big

It fits 8 pills (although though a couple of mine are small)
you can get it from the website or amazon

They’re not cheap but great !! https://dosey.com/en-gb?srsltid=AfmBOopKrnLqk44uNTzrD-Q2HsWVvAMYOwkSRzYZ_JwLyAQz52XllAeW

You're probably overloaded with choice now but I have this one.
It holds am and pm meds and I take a lot of large tablets that fit easily

Actually, that looks the best I've seen on here for me. I nearly bought a similar one on this thread but with a zip so that it looks like a pencil case. Now I don't know which to get but the wipeproif cover is a bonus so thank you!

Glad i could help 🙂I bought mine 4 years ago and it's still going strong. I like that if I am going away for a couple of days, I can just take the individual pods.

DualPower · 13/02/2026 07:12

I literally came to ask if there was anything like the Pillar but with am/pm, and then saw @Flamerouge's post! Thank you!

Namechangerage · 13/02/2026 23:34

I got an ad for this after looking at this thread!

i got this monthly one that holds loads.

ToadRage · 14/02/2026 14:18

I have a really pretty one that I bought many years ago from Past Times (don't know of that shop still exists). But cos i am bad at remembering my council OT gave me a dispenser, you fill it up with a month worth of pills and set a time to take them and it will flash and beep at the right time and shoot out your pills. It looks like flying saucer and has really helped me not miss doses.

Puffsox · 14/02/2026 19:22

I use the empty tubes in which my Vitamin D/ calcium come.Otherwise, if just out for the day, I use a fancy pill box I was given as a present.I take at present around 8 things, in varying quantities, mostly once or twice a day.

chipshopElvis · 14/02/2026 19:47

I have a plastic days of the week one that splits into separate blocks and I keep it in a pretty tin. If I go away somewhere I just break the right number of blocks off.

Jackdog39 · 15/02/2026 10:41

I have this one from Amazon. I think it looks very neat not at all like a pill organiser and it was only about £10.
