By Karen H., Morgantown, WV, Verified Reviewer

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

Pros and Cons

Does what it supposed to

Helpful customer service

Slow shipping

Perfect for Endometriosis

By Makenna W., Menomonie, WI, Verified Reviewer

Length of Use: Less than 3 months

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

Best on-the-go pain relief

By Mileyah L., Sacramento, CA, Verified Reviewer

Overall I would rate this a 10/10. I wish it had a longer connection cord, but other than that, I have been using this all year and really appreciate the pain relief! I can use it at work and no one knows, it's silent and discreet and works very well. It transports in a purse-size case and can be worn without anyone seeing it on me.

Length of Use: 6–12 months

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

Pros and Cons

It's silent

It's easy to wear

It works in pain relief

The connector cords are a little short

I wish it had more levels of intensity

It's a little difficult to place (again due to the short cord)

Almost perfect

By Briahna B., Toronto, Canada, Verified Reviewer

I like using my Livia device to avoid having to use painkillers entirely or on a less frequent basis. It takes a minute or so for the pain to lessen but it's great once it gets going. I do wish the clip was a little more sturdy and that the cord wasn't blaring white against my work outfits (all black). Overall, the Livia does the job it intends to do (basically a more compact TENS unit).

Length of Use: 3–6 months

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

Pros and Cons

Size

Ease of use, only 3 buttons

Pain relief

Short and white pads cable

My black skin didn't fit the device

The port for the pads is on top so it pokes when I bend

My thoughts on Livia

By Vanna L., West Virginia, Verified Reviewer

With its small size, I was able to carry it around whenever I needed to. Although, it is not waterproof and I have seen an issue with that on my worst days of cramping, but that’s when I mostly go into water therapy for the cramps. My sister had also tried the Livia and loved it. Though it did not take away all of her cramping, it did relieve her some.

Length of Use: 3–6 months

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

Pros and Cons

It relieved most of my cramps within minutes

Had a variety of skin/cover colors and textures

There weren’t more black options for the skins

How did I live with Livia?

By Liz M., Melbourne, Australia , Verified Reviewer

I suffer from endometriosis and without Livia, I have managed to be able to be pain medication free since my boyfriend bought it for me in February of this year. It has made life and pain management so much easier.

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

Excellent!

By Courtney V., Modesto, CA, Verified Reviewer

I love Livia! I have always had debilitating cramps that required birth control pills, prescription pain medications, heating pads, ice packs, time off work, days spent in bed, you get the picture. This device allows for me to be functional. It is discrete, but cute as well! I will certainly recommend this to any women suffering with similar issues. In addition, it works for other pains and aches etc. Thank you for such a great product!

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

Amazing!

By Annemarie S., Rotterdam, Netherlands, Verified Reviewer

It's a great product against menstrual cramps - mine would get so bad I would lie in bed screaming and almost faint, but ever since I've started using Livia, I can tackle the cramps just in time before they get too painful to deal with. It gives little electrical shocks so in the beginning, it feels a bit tingly, but after a few minutes, it starts numbing the painful area, which is AWESOME. No more heaps of painkillers for me.

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