No more pain

By Cecilia W., Finland, Verified Reviewer

So Livia must be one of the best things that I have found. I don't have period pain every time but when I do, Livia is here to help. And it almost constantly takes the pain away. And even with a normal stomachache, it helps too. So my partner has tried it also and he likes it too.

So worth every penny!

By Lauren W., Tampa, FL, Verified Reviewer

I have Endometriosis and my doctor has only ever wanted to prescribe narcotics for my pain. Since I would always refuse she would then tell me, "heating pad and Motrin." That never touched the pain. I looked into Livia and got the subscription. I thought what the heck, let’s give it a shot. I am so happy I did because as soon as I got it and tried it, all the pain went away. This little thing sticks on with gel electrode pads that don’t leave your skin sticky. The unit clips to your pants. It is so discreet, I wear it to work with my scrubs. My pain is gone. It’s so nice living pain-free.

Length of Use: Less than 3 months

Best solution for the worst cramps

By Shelby O., Chicago, IL, Verified Reviewer

I switched from a hormonal IUD to the copper IUD and immediately started experiencing the worst periods I’ve ever experienced. Although the IUD has helped with mood issues, it’s made cramps almost unbearable. The Livia has made such a difference in my life. I truly did not believe that this device would work because I had tried everything but it really does and I am so happy to be able to write this positive review for them. It’s affordable and it’s so worth it.

Length of Use: 3–6 months

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

Pros and Cons

Takes away cramp pain

Affordable

Cute

Livia is a game changer

By Rebekah B., Latham, IL, Verified Reviewer

I got this product around a year ago and it has decreased the intense lower back cramps that I get during my period. I sometimes have to take off work or not make it to classes due to how bad my cramping is, but Livia has changed that for me. I just throw it in my bag once I get any signs of my period and it is there when I need it. I have worn it at school, work, and everywhere I go. The clip on the back allows you to hook it on the side of your pants and it is super discreet. I love it!

Length of Use: 1–2 years

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

Pros and Cons

Range of intensities

Clip on the back of the device

Small size

Clip on back is not super sturdy

Does not come with a large amount of gel refills

Great product, not so good customer service

By Sian P., Middlesbrough, United Kingdom, Verified Reviewer

The Livia works quite well and I have EXTREMELY painful periods, however, I joined on the subscription plan and after a year haven’t received any of the gel pads I should have (that’s twelve packs) yet they still took the payments. I’ve contacted them three times and have only just finally got a reply when I threatened to cancel the payments and sue them for my money back, and now they’ve promised to send me the pads, I’ll just have to wait and see if they turn up.

Length of Use: 6–12 months

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

Pros and Cons

Reduces pain

Small and discreet

Rechargeable

Doesn’t kill my pain all the way

The company didn’t send me new gel pads for over a year but took the payments anyway

The charge could last longer at higher levels

Helped manage chronic dysmenorrhea

By Tee T., New York City, NY, Verified Reviewer

I have had chronic dysmenorrhea for a while now and with passing time, have had to increase my pain medication dosage. But ever since I started using Livia, this has changed. It has helped a lot with cramps and decreased my medication intake. I can now get myself to go to work without missing a day, earlier I was unable to even leave my bed.

Length of Use: 6–12 months

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

Pros and Cons

Size - compact

User friendly

Short pad wires

Limited intensity

The best thing I ever bought! It gave me a part of my life back!

By Jana B., Switzerland, Verified Reviewer

I thought I would have to live with my endometriosis pain forever. The doctors had tried everything and even with painkillers and hormones, I was still in agony minimum a week per month. I discovered Livia per complete coincidence and thought I would just give it a try. Now, I would never ever live without it anymore. With myLivia I feel as if my endometriosis doesn‘t exist. Most of the time it eliminates the pain completely and if I‘m having a particularly bad day it at least manages to reduce the pain to a bearable and normal level. I can recommend myLivia to any woman who struggles with period or endometriosis pain.

Length of Use: 6–12 months

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

Pros and Cons

No more pain

Easy to bring along in your handbag

Easy to hide when needed

New pads available in many stores

Much better than painkillers

Sometimes pads need 10-15 minutes to "warm up"
