Livia

I got my Livia as part of the original Indiegogo campaign and mine arrived in Spring of 2017. I have used it since then.

I have dysmenorrhea and ovarian cysts. The Livia gave me enough relief to be able to do some everyday things on days I normally wouldn't have made it out of bed.

The battery lasts quite a long time (around 6 hours I think) but also takes about half that time to charge so when the battery dies, I am waiting a few hours for it to get back to full charge.

The flower pads are comfortable and stick well with the gel liners, but the cords do eventually break. Because they are a proprietary design, you cannot use other TENS machine pads as the cord plugs indifferently. Very recently I have found it hard to find replacement flower pads for purchase.

Length of Use: 2+ years

Especially if you have had persistent and often drug-resistant period pain like I have. I find that my Livia tends to take care of mild cramps no problem, and for really bad spells, an ibuprofen in combination with the Livia does the trick in reducing my pain to manageable levels.

It's pretty comfortable to wear and they're really discreet, easily hidden under a t-shirt (or not hidden if you don't want to, they have cute case options!) so you can go about your normal day.

It's been a significant improvement to my previous (but restrictive) method of curling up in a bath so hot it is borderline scalding and crying for like 4 hours, so I'd definitely recommend trying it out if you think it might work for you!

I think my only complaint is that it's sometimes tricky when putting it on to find the sweet spot, but that might also just be my own incompetence.

Length of Use: 6–12 months

I first found Livia through their Kickstarter campaign, and have been in love with this product ever since. I suffer from not only extremely painful periods, but also pain every month when I get ovarian cysts. Livia is small enough to wear while at work, traveling, or just at home. The website experience leaves something to be desired, but the product is well worth it.

Livia changed my life. I get really terrible cramping and it made it so hard to function and look after my kids on those days. When I started looking for a solution, I found a Livia. I was a little skeptical, but decided to try it. I have no regrets. Livia helps so much! When I'm wearing the unit, it's like I can feel when I'm cramping, but the pain is significantly decreased. I highly recommend.

My only complaints are that my skin reacts a bit to the sticky gel pads, and customer service takes about a week to respond.

It has given me my life back! I couldn’t even get out of bed on days where my cramps were so bad, but with Livia, I can wear the device and move around. It makes them bearable.

I have horrible cramps for multiple reasons. I really enjoy the quick relief Livia gives me! I don’t like taking additional pain meds so it’s nice to know I have another option. It’s discreet and I can wear it at work. The customer service could use some work, but even when things are slow they do come and they do work!

This little device is amazing. It doesn't completely take the pain away but enough to give me the energy to get through the day. I am so glad someone recommended this to me, it's definitely one of the best purchases I've made.

I'm currently on my first cycle with Livia. I have endometriosis and PCOS so I go through hell every month. I'm a full-time hairstylist and working on clients for 8 hours in unbearable pain is impossible. Today wearing my Livia made it much more possible. Not 100% pain-free but much more tolerable. Hands down a great purchase.

My friend recommended this to me since my pain keeps me stuck to wherever I can plug in my heating pad, plus buying Tylenol. I debated because it's pricey, but I was able to work and actually enjoy my day without any painkillers!

I love this product. It is truly amazing and comfortable to wear. It really works and I’m so happy I got one. I work a desk job so I don’t get to move around a lot. I feel like that makes period cramps worse. So this product is a lifesaver.
