Livia is a lifesaver!

By Lauren T., Freeburg, IL, Verified Reviewer

I highly recommend Livia! As a Certified Professional Pet Sitter and business owner, I don't have time to be sidelined by killer cramps. Livia completely eliminates my cramps with just the push of a button.

I also love how discrete the device is. I can just clip Livia to the top of my jeans, cover it with my shirt, and continue caring for my clients' fur, feathered, finned, and scaled babies.

Thank you, Livia, for giving me my life back!

Love it

By Vero L., Houston, TX, Verified Reviewer

I think it is a great product - very useful, handy, and cute. It works very well for me even just for back pain and not only for menstrual cramps. The one downside for me would be that I get a little rash after a while sometimes. And they made it into a membership now...

Goodbye period pain

By Kaylee K., British Columbia, Canada, Verified Reviewer

I get really bad cramps, and sometimes nothing helps. I saw Livia some time ago and finally gave it a try, and I must say, I'm happy I did! My severe pain gets dealt with, and if it flairs up while using, I just turn up the level. And for finically difficult ones, there's a new 'subscription' which is great!

Length of Use: Less than 3 months

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

Pros and Cons

Small, compact, travel sized

Subscription pricing

Good customer service

Have to move it over a period of time

Can be expensive if not with subscription

Period pain lifesaver!

By Tierney B., Connecticut, Verified Reviewer

I love Livia and rely on it heavily to manage my period pain. After having my third son my period cramps are much worse. I was still breastfeeding so managing my pain without resorting to medication was what drew me to Livia. At time over the counter meds like Tylenol or ibuprofen would not even touch the pain when I did take time. Using Livia not only minimizes the pain but allows me to still be a mom and be able to function during that week without medication.

Length of Use: 2+ years

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

Pros and Cons

Portable

Compact

Holistic

The clip comes off at times

Gel is hard to peel off after long wear

Cords can tangle

Livia and endometriosis

By Allison M., Seymour, WI, Verified Reviewer

Starting from my first period (woke up with it on my 11th birthday, happy birthday to me), I had unbearable pain. I would be bent over in pain for hours or unable to sleep. I was put on birth control in 7th grade to help with the pain, but it never seemed to ease it. I’m in 12th grade now, on my third kind of birth control, and I’ve been prescribed Vicodin for the pain. Even the pills didn’t seem to help me, so I started looking for other solutions. I found Livia, and it sounded too good to be true. Though it may not work for some people, it works for me. I haven’t been able to function this well on my period in years. I’ve had it for a few months now and it’s never failed me. Even if it doesn’t work for you, I think it’s at least worth a shot, because if it does work, it’ll save a whole lot of pain. The only downside is how fast the gel pads need to be replaced if you’re a scatterbrain like me and can’t keep track of the covers.

Length of Use: 3–6 months

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

Pros and Cons

Very discrete

Works better than Vicodin and birth control

Works for long period of time

The gel pads have small covers that are easy to lose

The gel pads aren’t reliable at all times because of losing the covers

The literal off switch to pelvic pain

By Sloane B., Tucson, AZ, Verified Reviewer

When I first found out I had endometriosis, I was terrified by the idea that the rest of my life would be limited to surgery and medication to control pain. After doing research I discovered Livia and I’ve been using my Livia device for alternative pain relief for roughly 3 years now. I feel confident that I can live a normal life knowing Livia is on my side (no pun intended). I highly recommend this to anyone who suffered from pelvic pain, from period pain to chronic illness, Livia gets the job done!

The pain is gone

By Stacey G., Dallas, OR, Verified Reviewer

I get very intense pain from my cycle only as I have gotten older and I was at a loss. I've never experienced pain like this, I always thought everyone was over exaggerating when it came to cramps, well, I was wrong. I got them so bad that I would miss the first two days of work in bed throwing up dying from the pain. Then one day I was scrolling through Facebook and saw this ad for Livia. I read the review and thought might as well give it a shot since nothing else helps. When it arrived it's like it knew it was the first day of my cycle and I was dying in pain so I put it on and within minutes it was gone. I was functioning again and it had been month since I could.

Length of Use: 3–6 months

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

Pros and Cons

I love this thing

By Marlena B., Warwick, RI, Verified Reviewer

I want to share something personal with my ladies. I suffer from endometriosis. Every month for 15 years I dreaded my menstrual cycles. The pain that I would experience was debilitating. I would call out of work, couldn’t go to school, and couldn’t leave my bed. I’ve had multiple surgeries with little success in regards to relief, however, I found this. This little thing is called a Livia and it sends a pulse to your nerves and helps relieve the pain. No pain medications, just this. You put the pads on your lower back or tummy for 1-2 hours, that’s it. This little thing literally took my 10/10 pain and cut it in half. I highly recommend it, ladies.

Length of Use: 6–12 months

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

Pros and Cons

Easy to use

Helped pain

Didn’t have to wear it long

I wish they had more colors in the other covers

I love my Livia!

By Sarah-Jane M., Goondiwindi, Queensland, Australia, Verified Reviewer

For me, I have suspected Endometriosis. I get bad cramping pain and pressure along my back stomach and pelvis. It can be so bad that I need to stay home. The hospital prescribed Endone which I don't like taking unless I absolutely have to because it knocks me for six. And then the next two days I'm a walking zombie. Since Livia, I occasionally only have to take ibuprofen. I haven't had to take Endone for about 3 months. It has improved my life and my work. I love my Livia!

Length of Use: 6–12 months
