Amazing

By Leda H., Virginia, Verified Reviewer

After years of painful periods, keeping me home from school or from going to social events and limiting what I could do in general, I tried Livia. I am so glad I did. I am now able to function on my period and no longer miss out. It erases my pain and is easy to use and discrete, plus not in your way at all. LOVE IT.

Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

A true lifesaver

By Rozz H., Verified Reviewer

I bought a Livia after running out of options to control the agonizing cramps brought on by my period. I've been on prescription painkillers since the age of 12 and they are no longer working fast enough. My Livia is a godsend as you just have to turn it on for instant relief! No harmful side effects, no monthly drain on medication, and no explaining to the boss why you need to go home sick again.

The gentle electrical pulses can be altered in intensity to suit YOUR period which is brilliant as there are some days where the pain is worse. Plus it charges with a regular micro USB cable, meaning it's super easy to charge when traveling and you'll never have to go hunting for batteries! The range of skin colors means that you can match it to your outfit too which is an added bonus.

The only thing holding me back from giving it full marks is down to the electrode wires not being long enough for bigger girls such as myself, however, the company has since told me that they are going to look into this and I cannot wait!

Thank you Livia, for giving me my life back.

Saved my A-levels

By Nele B., Germany, Verified Reviewer

My cramps get worse every month and I'm off pain medication so going to school without a heating pad is not possible. I bought my Livia so I could go into my exams without having to get up every hour to warm up my pad again and it's amazing! It took some time for me to get used to the higher settings because my skin is very sensitive but now I can even block out some extreme cramps. Already went to a party with it and to the opera as well. I would totally recommend Livia to every girl who wants to live a normal life without being held back by her cramps.

Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Life before Livia was one cut short each month with debilitating period pains.

I thoroughly recommend this product. I received my product quickly and have had no problems at all with customer service.

Best device ever!

By Courtney G., Canada, Verified Reviewer

Having a Livia is literally life-changing! Being on medication that doesn't react well with Maxidol, or anything with naproxen, and Advil/ibuprofen not being nearly strong enough, I felt as though I would never find something that actually relieved my gut-wrenching cramps until I met Livia! And my goodness she makes me be able to LIV.

Seriously, it's the easiest device ever, you just charge it up (like your phone or AirPods), and once it's charged, you plug in the cord with two circles at the end which are stickers, like super-strong stickers, you stick those honestly wherever you feel the pain the most. I like to stick them on either side just below my belly button and right above my pelvic bone, if that makes sense. But it really doesn't matter because once you have that stuck on you and you press the power button and then the little "+" sign, that button is magic. I honestly never have to go past level 3, it's pretty intense and starts to tickle, I find, and honestly make my abs kick in or something. The battery lasts all day too! With the clip on the back you can clip it right to your pants, or hide it onto your underwear if needed. It's so small it's not even noticeable with a t-shirt and leggings on!

I could keep going on about all of the amazing pros about Livia, but you should truly just try it! I literally have no cons about this product! I'm a Livia girl for life.

Length of Use: 3–6 months

Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Pros and Cons

Literally an off switch for period pain

Magic device

By Sav J., Raleigh, NC, Verified Reviewer

As a female who struggles with PCOS and very intense periods, this device has been a game-changer for me. Without this device, the first few days of my period consisted of me laying in bed in pain to the point I was nauseated. But now as soon as I feel the first sign of my period I charge my Livia and make sure it is ready for use! This device is almost like magic, I place the pads on my lower abdomen as directed turn on the power switch and select the intensity that I want. And just like that my cramps go away. I love this device and all that it does for me.

Length of Use: 3–6 months

Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Pros and Cons

Stops cramps

Allows me have pain-free period

Clip can be weak while being active
